Quality cargo transport solution for your outdoor adventures

Why this product
The NV 2.0 without the Trail Doc work stand — same aluminum build, tilt-away, integrated locks, carbon-frame-safe, at the same 52 lbs but a lower price. The 50 lb per-bike limit handles most standard bikes. If you do not need the repair stand feature, this saves you money while keeping the core NV quality. I recommend this to riders who maintain their bikes at home and want the NV platform without paying for features they will not use.
