Our take on the Kuat Transfer V2 Hitch Bike Rack

The Transfer V2 is Kuat's entry-level platform hitch rack, a steel tray design that holds two bikes and can take a third with an add-on. Bikes sit on wheel trays and are held by frame hooks, so no frame contact and no front-wheel removal. It folds up when empty and tilts away for hatch access, and it comes with a semi-integrated cable lock. It is heavier and less refined than Kuat's premium NV and Sherpa lines, but it covers the basics for road, gravel and fat-tire bikes at a lower tier of the range.

Questions and answers

Does the Transfer V2 fit a 1.25-inch hitch?
It is offered in both 1.25-inch and 2-inch versions, so check which receiver your vehicle has before ordering. The 2-inch version supports the three-bike add-on.
Can I carry a third bike?
Yes, with the Transfer V2 add-on, which brings capacity to three bikes. The add-on is sold separately and adds weight to the rack.
Will it fit fat bikes?
Yes. The trays and hooks accommodate wide tires, and the rack is rated for heavier e-bike and fat-bike loads within its per-bike limit.
Can I open my hatch with bikes loaded?
The rack tilts away from the vehicle, which gives access to most rear hatches and tailgates. For full swing-away clearance you need the Pivot add-on.
Does it come with a lock?
It includes a semi-integrated cable lock for the bikes. It secures the rack to the hitch as well, but it is a deterrent rather than a heavy-duty lock.
How does it compare with the Kuat NV?
The Transfer V2 is the simpler, heavier steel option with basic hooks. The NV adds a built-in repair stand, sturdier arms and a more refined finish at a higher tier.
Where is the Kuat Transfer V2 Hitch Bike Rack cheapest?
At Mack Cycle and Fitness, for $499.99, 23% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
