Premium platform rack with integrated work stand and foot-actuated tilt
Last reviewed: April 2026
NV 2.0 for 1.25" hitch receivers.
At a glance
Why this product
All the NV 2.0 features — integrated work stand, cable lock, 60 lb per-bike e-bike capacity, tilt-away, carbon-frame-safe — in a version designed for 1.25-inch hitches. At 52 lbs, check your tongue weight rating carefully on a smaller receiver. This is the premium option for sedan and small SUV owners who want the full NV experience. I recommend this to mechanically-inclined riders with smaller vehicles who still want a trailside repair stand.
