This is my review of the 1Up USA Bike Rack vs the Kuat NV. I have had the Kuat for 5 years now and I recently purchased the 1Up bike rack. I will go into detail about what features I like more on each bike rack. I will go over the pros and cons of both racks and ultimately why I chose the 1 Up bike and why someone might chose the Kuat.
One thing I forgot to mention in the review was the price for the racks.The 1Up bike rack is $500 for the bike rack with add-on (in clear coat) or $600 in anodized black. I also purchased the security lock for the hitch $19 and the add-on $19. So my rack without tax and shipping was $548. The Kuat NV2 is $650. They are the 2 best bike racks in my opinion and you cant go wrong with either. However I feel that they both have their different strengths and weaknesses. Which is best for you?
