My Kuat NV 2.0 Hitch Bike Rack review after 2 years of heavy use

The Kuat NV 2.0 +1 (three position) bike rack is ticking along.. In southern Ontario our winter roads are subjected to tons of salt in order to manage the ice & snowfall. The freezing cold & salt wreak havoc on the metal components that are exposed or untreated with salt protection systems.
Here is the experience with using the rack, Kuat support & the overall thoughts moving forward.

I just ordered the 1.25 hitch version for my ford fusion!

[@AndreLaurentMTB]

If you are in southern Ontario I suggest getting some anti rust lubrication spray from crappy tire to keep the moving parts from rusting & from freezing up in winter

​@@AndreLaurentMTB Thank you for the tip
