Description

Conceived for road trips, family group rides, and expeditions in the backcountry, we took our matte black hitch rack buddy and expanded it. Our NV family of Add-Ons have impressive features worth noting when you’re looking for a 3-bike or 4-bike hitch rack for your vehicle.

The 1-Bike Add-On increases the 2” NV Base 2.0 to a 3-bike hitch rack that will carry bikes, including electric bikes, weighing up to 50 pounds per tray. Similarly, the 2-Bike Add-On increases the 2” NV Base 2.0 to a 4-bike hitch rack that will carry bikes, including electric bikes, weighing up to 40 pounds per tray. Attach our e-bike ramp (sold separately) and make loading and unloading heavy electric bikes effortless. On top of that, both Add-Ons will hold wheelbases up to 50” and tires as large as 5”.

Just like the NV Base 2.0 2-bike hitch rack, the Add-Ons have integrated cable locks long enough to fit any frame and keep your extra bikes safe and secure while in tow. 

All these features, plus our No Worries Limited Warranty, make the NV Base 2.0 1-Bike and 2-Bike Add-Ons great additions to your NV Base 2.0 2-bike hitch rack.

Features
ADJUSTABLE FRONT TIRE CRADLE SYSTEM

Bikes not wanting to share space nicely? Easily dial in the fit with adjustable tire scoops. With three positions to choose from, sidebar and seat post clearance are never an issue.

INTEGRATED CABLE LOCKS

Seamlessly integrated locks—long enough to fit any frame—make sure your bike stays off Craigslist while you enjoy that post-ride beer stop. And when you’re ready to roll again, they stow right back into the rack.

TRAIL DOC

Part of the reason we call it the NV Base 2.0 is because it doesn't come equipped with the Trail Doc. If you want to add the Trail Doc later, you can. The matte black Trail Doc can be purchased as an accessory and added at anytime. And, just because it's the base version of our NV 2.0 doesn't mean it's basic. Trust us.

ELECTRIC BIKE COMPATIBLE

This bike rack is all metal and can safely transport bikes and electric bikes weighing up to 60 lbs. per tray. With just one tap, the pneumatic arms open wide and grab your bike tire perfectly, with no contact with the frame.
