I don't buy chewing gum without watching reviews about it, so I've seen lots of them. This is the best I've seen. No agenda, down to Earth, authoritative, and insightful. Thanks!

Awesome review!! Thank you for covering exactly the things we need to know and a lot of the bonus considerations like how they both lock, spacing, and the balancing when off-mount.

This is an excellent review!!! I’ve watched it twice now and you’re making my decision on what to consider in bike racks much easier! Thank you so much!

Most helpful comparison review of these two racks. Thanks for taking the time to make the video and explaining the pros and cos.

Thank you for the review. I've been researching both of these bike racks, and your review was very informative and covered the areas in both racks I had some questions about.

Wow. This is the best product(s) review I have ever seen on KZfaq. Great job. Thank you!

Kevin a great review.I also was in the process of purchasing the Thule Pro but I am going to buy the Kuat thanks to your showing everyone the difference between the two.Great job,Kevin

Good review. I just bought the Thule Pro, but as a 69 year old woman, I can't lift my ebike into it. I also can't roll it up a ramp and down the rail without the front tire slipping off the rail. SO......I cut a piece of PVC in half lengthwise, painted it black and bolted it to the rail. Now the bike goes up the ramp I bought, and down the cup of the PVC. Then I just have to lift the front tire into the holder.

This is the most honest and concise comparison / review I have ever seen. You should make a living off of that. Thank you so much.

Very detailed comparison; best on the internet! Exactly what I was seeking in deciding between these two units (upgrading from 4-bike Hollywood Rack, which is extremely frustrating after several 2,000 mile road trips)! Thanks!

Thank you!! I am so glad you did this video! Been looking for racks comparing stuff online but with stores closed or out of stock due to Covid it’s been a challenge for me! I can know narrow the choice thanks again!

Great video! Very thorough and the fact that you used both for a year inspires a lot of confidence that you’ve uncovered the nuances of both racks. I was hoping to see a wobble test with the racks loaded. I’ve been leaning towards the Kuat already as another review said it is rock solid. They referred to it as like a steel plate. Thanks for taking the time to do this comparison!

Excellent in-depth tutorial! I'm glad I stumbled upon it. We're looking for a bike rack and there are just so many models to choose from. We're first time buyers, so we have no idea what features to look for in a rack. Thanks to your excellent review, I think we'll go with the Kuat. It seems to be easy to use and appears to have all the necessary features. Thanks for taking the time to do this comparison.

Fantastic! Just got my first bike today. Figure I need a rack and was looking at these two (actually probably the 2.0 base) and this was so helpful for someone that's never owned anything bike related before, let alone a rack specifically. Thanks!

Very detailed comparison of the exact two racks I was trying to choose between. Very helpful to hopefully aid in making an informed decision. Thanks!

I narrowed down my options to just these two racks so this review was very helpful. Well done - thank you!

Very Informative - Great Vid! We are trying to decide what to purchase and previously had very little knowledge of tray racks and their features. Wow - Thank you for taking the time to publish this, truly a breath a fresh air to see a knowledgeable person do an honest comparison, vs a corporate AI-voice sponsored video which are all too common these days. Great Job!

Great review amigo. It's just fantastic to see a review that deep and simple at the same time. Thanks for your time! Cheers!

This is a very good review. I was torn between these 2, now I know which to get because of your help. Keep it up.

I was choosing between these two racks just a few months ago and this video answered all of the questions I had that nobody else covered. I went with the Kuat and have been super happy with it! I also drive an Outback and I really liked how much more compact the Kuat is when it's folded up.

Was trying to decide and this video was exactly what I needed. Kuat for me but friends with Thule are delighted with those as well. Kuat is available where I am so buying that and this video helped me decide. Thanks very much.

Great demonstration. I'm choosing the Kuat Nv, mainly for the overall appearance and ease of use. Thanks for helping me with my decision.

Fantastic comparison sir. Thank you for taking the time to do this!

best comparison review I've seen, thank you.

super helpful, i couldnt decide for weeks and this helped me make my decision!

I would love to see more with other rack makers. You did a very good job of showing the racks.

Thank you for this really in depth review. Definitely helped me make my decision on which rack to get.

Thank you so much for your review! Especially helpful for a bike novice like me!

Thanks Kevin. I was on the fence leaning towards the Thule. My bike dealer recommended the Kuat. Did some research and your video sealed the deal. Went with the Kuat NV2.0 in the 2". Mounted it on my wife's Honda CR-V and it is super stable. Thanks for making a great video. Super helpful!

Excellent overview. I just happened to be considering both of these. This helped a lot.

Thanks for the excellent review! You did a great job comparing all the practical features and usage concerns that people have when actually using these racks, instead of all the marketing-speak usually seen in sponsored review videos.

The Kuat is hands down the best bike rack I've ever used. I also love the fact that you can mount it to the wall in your garage, remove the repair rod and attach it to their own tripod system for use indoors, and just the overall aesthetic. The only issue I had with the Kuat was that one of the locks stopped staying in the rack, Kuat immediately replaced it for me, and now everything is fine again. You get what you pay for folks! Kuat all the way!

Thanks so much! I was on the fence and actually bought both :) Will end up returning the Thule to REI now.

Sir, your review was amazing. I decided to go with the kuat after watching your review :)

Dude, thank you! I was totally on the fence between the two. You did me a huge favor, thank you

Awesome video. Thank you for going over both of them in great detail! 👍

Thanks very much for the insight Excellent. Was definitely leaning for the Thule but now going w/the Kuat.

Super helpful, definitely going with the Kuat. the bonus bike stand is a steal.

Very nicely done and extremely informative review. You answered my biggest questions that the Kuat site did not. Thank -you.

Appreciate your time putting this together.Thank you

Great review. Thanks for putting in the time to put that together.

Thorough, Unbiased, FANTASTIC

Great video! Showing details like the finish and how stable they are off the vehicle is something no one else would do. Cheers mate.

You knocked it out the park with this one Bro. Very informative comparison. Great job

Great comparison, thank you very much! I've finally made my decision.

Thanks for your great and detailed review. Just purchased the Kuat today. For two ebikes.

Dude, you know your OCD fellow bikers way too well. Super thorough video. Very helpful. It’s a really hard decision.I love it when you apologize for your rack being dirty and then you mutter I usually keep my things clean. That’s awesome. Me too.

You sir deserve an award for this comparison! 🏆

Excellent review! Very comprehensive coverage of pretty much everything I wanted to understand before making the investment into one or the other of these two racks. I think I am going to go for the Kuat although I am a little bit concerned with the approximately 6-inch longer projection on it versus the Thule. I drive a 2018 Volvo XC60 which has pretty good ground clearance but I still find times where driveways or intersecting streets seem to have been designed by someone who drives a Hummer. Thanks again for your highly informative coverage!

Best comparison video I've seen!!! Thanks!!

I watched this video last year and now watching it again after pulling the trigger on the Kuat. Then I realized you mention the price being $650….. inflation pushed the price up for these…. $850 retail now for the Kuat. Luckily I found a local shop in South Dakota that selling the base model at $600. Thanks for the review again! Well done

This is the best comparison I've seen! Going to buy the Kuat NV 2.0. Thank you :)

I watched your video until the very end and I don't even have a trailer hitch on my SUV. Great video with plenty of comparative information though. I especially liked the fact you showed the difference in how far the bottoms extended affecting ground clearance which wasn't something I would have though of.

Perfect video. Just what I needed. Thanks for putting this out there.

This was incredibly helpful, thank you very much!

Nice job with the comparison, helps a lot!

Thanks for your help Kevin!

That was amazingly clear and thorough. Thank you

Great comparison review. Very detailed!

Great review. Very concise. Definitely helped me make my decision.

Thanks, i guess I now have answers to all my questions. Really great.

Excellent comparison! Thank you!

Superb review, Kevin; truly congrats; mi Bike dealer mentioned the Kuat just yesterday; I hadn’t even heard of the brand; a key factor for me was anti-theft feature, and Kuat is definitely the winner. Thanks!!

Great review. I'm leaning towards the Kuat after watching this.

Great review! Learned so much. Thx.

Thanks for the excellent review. Buying the Kuat.

EXCELLENT REVIEW AND COMPARISON. When I am ready to buy, I will get the Kuat NV.

Excellent review. I ended up buying the Kuat, upgrading from a hanging bike carrier. It was kind of a bear to assemble, but I'm happy with it so far.

Thanks for making this video , just the right amount of information 👍

I was looking at these two and couldn't decide. I'll be going with the KUAT. Thanks for the video 👍

Great review! Very thorough. Both nice bike racks. I went with the Thule because I got 20% off Memorial weekend sale.

Thank you for this!! Great breakdown!!!

Excellent review, great job, very thorough.

Thanks for the video, Kevin!

Great review of the two bike racks. Both are great! Myself, I went with the Thule. I didn't care for the way the Kuat adjustability works. It appears that the front wheel would hang lower than the rack itself once you've made adjustments for the bar/seat clearances. Especially if you're mounting the rack on a lower vehicle. I'd hate to come out of a steep driveway and drag that wheel mount.

Very good balanced informative assessment of both products. I watch video after buying my Thule T2 XTR Pro 9034XTR. I just assembled it and will install it on my Taco tomorrow. I do like the Tule Design where they’ve added the wheels for transporting the Rack Tray on a substrate (flat surface) in lieu of carrying it. Will see how it does on the road. We have two Rad4 Step-Throughs with racks and fenders and fat tires. A little concern about security where they can be yanked with another truck and chain. End of day we are about as secure as our minds tell us. Hopefully the universe is providing positive vibes. Excellent Video. Thule’s instruction manual is quite sad and their site provides no other instructional media. An install Video would be reasonable given the over the top price point. Expected a bit more for the spend from them Respect and blessings my brother and for guys like you who drop these great videos. Thanks again for filling the great void. Best Just Phab

Wound up purchasing the Thule T2 Pro XTR b4 I sw this video. I have friends who have both and both are worthy racks. The added cost for the Kuat seems justified but in the end, with the majority of my racks, boxes being Thule and the 2" receiver for the rack I bought it turned out great for me. Nice reviews.

Very thorough review, thanks.

Thanks for a great and informative video. Just got my nv2.0 and so far I like it a lot.

Same theme. I was looking at both and went with the Kuat. Your through review has reassured me that I made the right choice. I appreciate this video. Special note: I have a Jeep Wrangler w/oversized tires, including my spare. Only the Kuat....barely fits without a hitch extender. Doesn’t look like the Thule would have done that.

Thanks, went for Kuat NV for my 29er and Taco

Amazing review sir.... with this comparison in a heart beat I would go with KuaT 🤙

Excellent presentation with detail in comparisons

Thank you very much for your super detail comparison information showing everything...super thank you again!!!

What a great review sir! Thank you for this!

This was an awesome review man. The two racks sitting on the ground was eye-opening for me. I'm torn between these two racks and the footprint and weight are considerations. The Kuat is much more compact and easy to sit in the corner on a wooden platform of some sort. Both are great but I'm leaning towards the NV base. Thank you so much for this well thought out comparison.

Thanks for posting this video -- vey clear and informative!!

Thanks for the review, I'm going for Kuat

Congrats & thx. Fantastic such comprehensive presentation.

Nice job on the review. Love my Thule.

Fantastic review and comparison vid. I will look hard at the Kuat for my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L.

This is an awesome comparison. Thanks!

Nice review! I have the Thule T2 Pro XT and love it. Going to add the Thule Access to be able to swing it out.

What a great, thorough video. Well done.

Great review. I'm going with the Thule for the off-road clearance! Kuat sticking out 18" is too far in Utah! I also like the skid plate on the Thule. Also, I have a 7 way trailer elec. socket on one side of my hitch and another custom Anderson plug on the other side. It makes locking hitch pins a little tricky to install/uninstall. The Thule will be way be easier for this reason.

Thank you! Awesome review!

Nice and detailed review. Very well done!

Excellent very useful review. Makes it easy to decide what to get. Thank you.

Great review. I ended up buying a Kuat NV 2.0 base, so no Trail Doc and no flashy orange bits. Absolutely LOVE it. Very glad I went with the Kuat over the Thule or a 1up. Build quality is wonderful all around and the features are intuitive. I'll add the Trail Doc someday, if I feel so inclined. Thanks for the review!

Excellent! Thanks for the comparison!
