- The heavy three and four-bike versions (89lb, 111lb) are poorly suited to users who frequently remove their racks.

- This rack isn’t rated for use on RVs.
Bottom line
Küat's NV 2.0 is a platform hitch rack available with a work stand (NV 2.0) or without (NV Base 2.0). This rack is available in two, three, and four-bike versions. The two and three-bike NV 2.0s are compatible with add-ons for carrying up to four bikes. This rack supports 50" wheelbases, 5" tires, and 20" to 29" wheels, but fenders won't fit. Experts praise the build quality, ease of use, and durability. However, assembly can be tedious, and bike-on-bike contact is an issue for some. Overall, the Küat NV 2.0 is deemed a high-quality, versatile rack worthy of its price.BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy.
