Generally if you are into Riv bikes you prob have an association with
aesthetics in your bikes...and maybe in your car. I do think Kuats look
ugly and clunky when on the car without bikes loaded. Way not so much 1Up.
The simplicity of the 1Up adds to its beauty. A fine piece of useful

Brian Forsee - thank you for the correction. They are currently only based
in the USA. I purchased my in early 2020, so I'm not sure if mine was made
in the USA or overseas.

Brian, I’m one video in and already see a major problem with the Kuat. I have a front fender - how is that arm not going to interfere with it? And look how close it sits to the brake in the video. Yikes. And then the reviewer goes on to show his major complaint, but by then I think the rack is alre

Yes, there doesn’t appear to be a perfect rack for our type of bikes and it
comes down to choosing the one that gets most of the wishlist and the
compromises that irritate you the least. For me, I have 3 Rivendells and I

We have the Kuat 2.0 NV (45 Clem and 50 Platy). It's a great one! We use it
on our Subaru Crosstrek. (Brian, you're not alone!)

With a 1up you can ratchet the front arm onto your front tire tight enough
so that it pretty much holds the bike steady with just that one arm. And
then use the foam fender protected arm on the back wheel as a less
pressurized steadying force.

I looked into 1Up and Quikr racks very seriously last fall. I like how they
looked and construction quality seems great.
Echoing Lex's points, their design and functionality are *inherently*
unfriendly for bikes with fenders, which most of my bikes have. I've spent
way too much time fretting o
The move from a minivan to an SUV was bittersweet for my wife and me. My
wife's Highlander is more stylish and "hip" but it also meant my sons were
growing up...now grown. I do plan to get a rack soon too so am following
this thread with interest.

Here's a Quikr demo of an ebike with fenders and a rack. I know we're not
talking ebikes here but some of the issues prob apply to your normal bike

I don't think the quikrstuff is a *vast* improvement over 1UP so I went
with 1UP based on reviews and money. That was just based on functionality
not ethics of the company. I like to support companies that aren't sketchy

I’m probably going to be the only one here to recommend a Küat NV 2.0, because I know this group has thoroughly lauded the 1UP racks many times over… but please take my 4 years of experience with this rack for what it’s worth.While they are very well-built racks with nice features (and MUSA is a pl
Leah, a friend bought one of these racks after extensive research and
couldn’t be happier. He uses it for an array of bikes with and without
fenders and suspension, he continues to rave about it.
