i have the Thule T2 XT Pro, works well.
Kuat NV 2.0 is nice too, but I don't like where the pull handle is. The other one I'd consider is the 1 UP

I highly recommend the kuat. You can get a 1 bike or 2 bike add on for it too. It also has built on bike stand and built in bike locks.

I grabbed the NV 2.0 base last year and have been very happy thus far. It seems very well made, and easy to use. Not the lightest thing I've carried around though. The Thule T2 XT was also an option, but availability made the choice easy.

Another +1 for the Kuat NV 2.0. Used it all last season and works great for my wife and my MTB's. The big plus for us was the NV 2.0 was a slightly more ready for fat bikes than the Thule. I wanted the 1 UP, as the aluminum build is beautiful, but with no good distributes in Canada, shipping and the US Exchange was going to kill me. I actually just yesterday picked up the Trail Doc Tri Stand ($130) so I can use the Trail Doc that came with my Kuat rack in the garage for bike maint. Super happy so far and the cost would be far less than a Park Tool ect or comparable bike stand. Here is a video that I used to help me decide, as in this price point, its between the NV 2.0 and T2 XT Pro in my opinion. At the end of the day, I see alot more rusted out Thules here in Northern Canada from year round usage. The constriction and fit and finish of the Kuat is what sold me. That and finding a new, unopened one locally for 30% less than retail in a store. That being said, in Spain, won't have to deal with as much snow. Haha. |

I would highly recommend 1UP racks. They are extremely well made and made in the US as well. I have no relationship to 1UP and I am speaking from my experience as an X5 owner who purchased a 1UP rack about a year ago.

I bought a Rockymounts WestSlope and the beginning of this last summer. I have had zero issues with it. I even took it on a 4880 mile trip to the Utah National Parks with some minor offroading while carrying a 34 lb 29'er. I had zero issues of the bike becoming loose. They also give a First Responder/Military/Veteran discount.
