So my boyfriend loads the bikes the most and now I’m on a beach trip with my 7yr old, only. this video is 10/10 and my boyfriend has been doing so many things the hard way!!!
This was the best description of installing the rack that I’ve seen all day. I’ve been reviewing things on RUclips because I have not used my rack for over a year and I’m mechanically challenged not to mention I can barely lift. I feel much more confident now that I saw your video thank you so much you’ve made my day.
Just bought this today. Was a little confused that there isn’t a dedicated lock holding the rack to the hitch. After watching video it looks like when you tighten the rack to hitch with Allen wrench that acts as a lock because you can’t remove the rack with it tightened in place.
At least on my 2" hitch receiver, it's not possible to put the cotter pin through until after the rack is tightened with the special Allen wrench. The video shows the cotter pin being inserted prior to tightening.
They sell one I think. Otherwise it’s just a normal pin. However the rack is really secure when the anti wobble thing is tightened down and it takes a special hex tool to loosen it.
@@fabianhidalgoguerrero635 Hello. There is a dedicated 2 inch locking pin for the 2 inch rack. The 1-1/4 rack with the 2 inch adapter would use the 1-1/4 locking pin.
Hello. Check out the Kuat Pivot for a swing-away option: www.rackattack.com/hitch-bike-racks/kuat-pivot-v2-2-inch-swing-away-extension-passenger-side/ Thanks!
Too bad that the downward tilt to allow access to the hatch is not sufficient for a road bike with narrow handlebars. Wider mountain bike handle bar width would make the hatch access even worse.
Hello. Yes, this rack is positioned closer to the vehicle than some others we've tested. Check out the new Thule T2 Pro X, this rack allowed the hatch to open with an MTB on the inside position: www.rackattack.com/hitch-bike-racks/thule-t2-pro-x/ Video coming soon: ruclips.net/video/suwsM9D6UQ0/видео.html Thanks!
Hello. Yes, here's the link to the hitch lock for the 2" version: www.rackattack.com/van-truck-rack-accessories/kuat-hitch-lock-v4-2-inch/ ...and here's the link for the 1-1/4" version: www.rackattack.com/van-truck-rack-accessories/kuat-hitch-lock-v4-1.25-inch/ Thanks!
Hello. The safety clip is simply pulled off of the end of Kuat hitch pin, the pin may be held snug if the hitch fastener is tight, loosen the hitch fastener and the pin can be removed with no resistance. Thanks!
Hello. The engineers must strike a balance with the lowered position to work with a wide range of vehicles. More of a downward angle and the rack could hit the ground with some vehicles, less angle and some hatches will not open without contacting a particular bike style. Thanks for commenting!
@@locactus500 You're exactly correct, I have one of the older models on my Ford focus RS which is a very low vehicle and it does hit the ground, but causes no issues whatsoever. Folding down further was important for me because of the hatchback.
Hello. The integrated cables were an upgrade to the V1 and sold separately. The V2 independent cable is also a effective theft deterrent and it's included with the rack. Additionally, the independent cable is versatile, it is long enough to accommodate the one bike add on for both the two bike or three bike version. Thanks!
And it is too short. What good is it if you can’t pass it through all 4 wheels on the 2 bikes. Someone can come along and undo the quick release on your seat and wheels and leave you with nothing. Wtf is the point. All their products are like this. I had to buy a 15 ft cable to make sure I can pass it through all the quick release components. Also… no lock pin lock on this one… They clearly want to make you buy their more expensive racks.

Thank you for the excellent demonstration of all the features on this rack. I am very happy I chose this model.

I have this rack and didn’t use it all winter so I forgot how to use it! This video was a great refresher.

Thanks for this video. I have the 1 bike rack with the 1.25 hitch
SUCH EXCELLENT VIDEO!VERY DETAILED AND INFORMATIVE. I FEEL LIKE IM THERE REALLY THERE IN VIDEO
Hello. Thanks so much, we appreciate the encouraging feedback!
Can this accommodate one fat tire e bike without a battery installed ,thanks
How do you snap the pin in place, your camera man didn't show it 😩
Great... thanks
Most welcome!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!

Does it have a lock for the receiver hitch pin?
They sell one I think. Otherwise it’s just a normal pin. However the rack is really secure when the anti wobble thing is tightened down and it takes a special hex tool to loosen it.
Just bought this to transfer my bikes from a trip and this sucks bike wiggle and hitch wiggled some many Alens that feel like they could vibrat out
Almost as bad as your english
Is it possible to get a locking pin for this rack? I am less worried about bike theft than I am of rack theft.
Hello. Yes, here's a link to the product on our site: www.rackattack.com/hitch-bike-racks/kuat-hitch-lock-fits-125-inch-kuat-rack/ Thanks!
@@rackattack does this locking pin work for the 1.25 inches and 2 inches rack?
@@fabianhidalgoguerrero635 Here's the two inch version: www.rackattack.com/bike-rack-accessories/kuat-locking-hitch-pin-1-2-inch/
@@fabianhidalgoguerrero635 Hello. There is a dedicated 2 inch locking pin for the 2 inch rack. The 1-1/4 rack with the 2 inch adapter would use the 1-1/4 locking pin.
@@rackattackthat product is discontinued. Do you have a new one? Please send a link.
can this be used with the swing-away arm? 2" hitch.

Two Mtn. bikes on the rack with a Kia Telluride and it clears just fine.
No issues with Mountain Bikes and Ford Edge.
2;20 is the hitch pin supposed to be tight or loose after put the cotter/safety pin?
Hello. The pin will be loose although by pulling outward on the rack while tightening, the pin will have some friction to minimize movement. Thanks!
@@rackattack I see you pull back on it. Thanks !
Is there a hitch lock that locks the rack to the car?
Hello. Yes, here's the link to the hitch lock for the 2" version:
www.rackattack.com/van-truck-rack-accessories/kuat-hitch-lock-v4-2-inch/
...and here's the link for the 1-1/4" version: www.rackattack.com/van-truck-rack-accessories/kuat-hitch-lock-v4-1.25-inch/ Thanks!
How about for the 1.25” version?
can you use a 1 bike add-on to this model?
Hello. No, the 1.25"-2" Transfer v2 2-bike (SKU T202B) model cannot take a one bike add-on. Thanks!
@@rackattack but the dedicated 2” can right? Just double checking. Thank you!
@@snowboardgamer7 Yes, the dedicated 2 inch will definitely accommodate the 1 bike add on.
how do you remove the safety pin?
Hello. The safety clip is simply pulled off of the end of Kuat hitch pin, the pin may be held snug if the hitch fastener is tight, loosen the hitch fastener and the pin can be removed with no resistance. Thanks!
@@rackattack thank you! I successfully disassembled my hitch and I was surprised that the safety pin just came right off.
Ease to instaall
We're glad you like it!
Kinda weird that it won't swing down further. If that was a flat bar bike it would have no chance.
Hello. The engineers must strike a balance with the lowered position to work with a wide range of vehicles. More of a downward angle and the rack could hit the ground with some vehicles, less angle and some hatches will not open without contacting a particular bike style. Thanks for commenting!
The original one with tilt was fine. If it hits the ground so what? Put some rubber bump stops on it. The new one won’t clear on a Jeep Liberty
@@locactus500 You're exactly correct, I have one of the older models on my Ford focus RS which is a very low vehicle and it does hit the ground, but causes no issues whatsoever. Folding down further was important for me because of the hatchback.
that detached cable sucks. V1 had integrated cable

Way too many loose items/tools. I think I counted 5? You will misplace one of these and be up the creek. Poor design IMO.
I agree for me too, but some folks may not be bothered by it and need something more cost-effective. More features = more $$$.
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
