My name is Mike, and I have a (car) problem
Anyone try out a hi-lo pro with a Kuat rack and confirm the tailgate will lower without hitting the rack (with it in the dropped position)?

If it doesn’t, I’ll likely just go for the Pivot.

And for fun, here’s the new toy (Levo Expert) on the rack on the back of the blue toy (R1T). I’m an earn-your-turns kind of guy, but I also broke several bones recently and want to get back into it on my local trails without major suffering. Also, e-bikes are fun. LOL

Pretty sure I've seen posts about it not being enough. The pivot seems to be the only workable option for the kuat where the T is concerned.

I'm in a similar position, works great on my xterra, but won't be fun to deal with on my eventual R1T.

Thanks. The Pivot is a much more elegant solution anyway, I’ll probably go with that.

Nice bike! I just got a Pivot Shuttle SL, but it’s been such bad weather I’ve only been able to ride it once here.

I have the Pivot with the NV 2.0 and it works great, and doesn’t even flinch with a couple e-bikes on it. My newest ride is a Trek Rail 7, eMTBs are a f’ing blast!

We have a R1S. Does anyone know if the kuat 2.0 at least works on it? I assume it does.
