The Kuat NV Base 2.0 Bike Hitch Rack is a stable, durable, and heavy-duty option for those looking to transport multiple heavyweight bikes. The ease in using, adjustability, and security provided make this a top-option compared to the bike-rack competition.
The Thule T2 Pro XT Hitch Rack is an intuitive, easy-to-use durable bike rack. Its weight makes putting the rack on/off the car a little difficult, and the built-in bike locks should be longer. However, the ability to easily load anything from a road bike to a fat bike makes this rack a top seller.
The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack is a light and easy to use bike rack that utilizes space efficiently and stores well when not on a car. The sleek design looks good while being easy to load and take off and on the car. While the rack holds bikes securely and easily, the lightweight design lacks durability in the long term, especially when put on cars where it falls next to the exhaust pipe and can get melted. This rack is not suitable for fat bikes.
The Thule AeroBlade Load Bar Pair is a good choice for those needing a durable, efficient, and adjustable bar pair for their vehicle. The conflicting reports of whistling while using the bars may deter some, but if you only care about functionality, this could be a good option.
The Yakima Frontloader Bike Mount does not require the bike’s front wheel to be removed and is very easy to install, making it exceedingly convenient. While this rack is beloved by many, there are concerns about durability, including the front tightening knob breaking after some use, rusting, and broken straps, with some of these problems leading to lost bikes off of cars. Despite this, many continue to prefer this bike rack because of its ease in loading for shorter cars, although it is not suitable for fat bikes, and has a lot of wind noise.
The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Hitch Rack is suited to carry multiple types of bikes with various wheel sizes and weights. This very-heavy rack is extremely durable, and will keep your bikes locked-in and secure while driving on all types of terrain. Despite being expensive, this is a good choice for those consistently needing a stable hitch rack for a long time.
