yes, the pivot goes out to 120. On paper it says the door goes out to 120 but it’s more like 110. So really it’s perfect because the door will stop right around there and the 10 degree difference will let the tire sit just right close to the bike. I have changed racks to the NV 2.0 since I took this pic of my old sherpa, and I carry two big mountain bikes all the time, I never have issues with clearance. Maybe if you had a fat Bike it’d be a bigger problem. I can take a pic tomorrow of it when I go riding with my bike on the inner tray.

I have a fat tire bike and no issues it’s my Kuat setup.

yeah, mine is just because of its size. Debated upgrading to piston from sherpa, but the pneumatic arm is a little dubious on 29” tires, as it doesn’t really clear the secant line of the tire, meaning it’s basically being held by the rubber lugs. That sketched me out. But hey!! Kashima. Dentists love it.

This looks good. Does the bike tire hit the rear fender when opened all the way? I’m also torn on drivers side vs passenger side. If I were using a basket on the Kuat at the beach with a table top grill or similar I’d want the drivers side, but for anything else I’d rather have passenger side and not block the plate.
You can flip it upside down to make it drivers side. That is what I did with mine.

Shoot, im a little nervous. I have the raptor so it has 37's and im worried about this fitting.

Those of you with 35's, how much wiggle room is there between the bottom of the tire and the top of the rack

My video I posted may answer your question. I have the Kuat Pivot 2.0 (drivers side) and Kuat NV 2.0 BASE. There's not much room there with a sasquatch tire. The latter half of the video shows the clearance.

Quick update. I installed the kuat pivot and also my quikrack 2. The kuat pivot has maybe 1/16" to spare.. Its super close..but it fits. Not worried about it. Drove all over with it and my bike and it is stable as a rock.

I have he second bike attachment, but haven't needed to use it yet.

All in all, I love this rack. Super easy to use. so quick to take on and off if I dont want to leave it on the car. Kind of wish it wasnt so high thought seeing that the raptor is already high

Yea it was about 5 month wait time for me. I ordered it before I had my bronco and got lucky and it came in around same time as the bronco.

If you dont want to wait, id recommend the 1up heavy duty /

Quikrack is bascially the designer of the original 1UP. He held the patents and I guess they had a falling out. He waited for the patents to expire and made his own. It literally the version 2, with everything upgraded on it (tool-less, easy to add attachments, stows away smaller).

It is expensive, but I figured id buy this once and never need another.

I looked at the 1 up but wasn't confident it's cam and slotted hitch pin was going to work with the pivot. I went with the kuat nv base as shown in the video and am happy so far.

Glad the Kuat swing out worked for you!
I love the look of the quickrstuff rack, will be getting in an order eventually. Using my NSR for now, as I take the kids as often as I can get them to go.
