I'm not sure what's new about the 1Up, but I have one that is a few years old and superior to the Kuat NV I previously had in every way. It's lighter, easier to take on and off, easier to use, easier to store and more durable. I would pay twice as much for the 1Up if I had to.

"The new version of the one up seems more refined making it seem comparable to the kuat. "

I'm not sure what you are referring to . . . may there new extreme rack?? But that is for heavy duty use eg very heavy e-bikes, small motorcycles, etc. The "Bike Rack" really hasn't changed much in years. We have 2 in our family - one is 15 years old (still in perfect condition), and the other is maybe 2 years old. Slight differences, but basically the same and very good. Really not sure why anyone would get anything else for a hitch rack. Yes, works with all wheels.

I have the original design 1up and like it a lot. Like the newer Equip'd it works with my disc wheel with zero issues. I do like the pull lever on the rear of the Equip'd model but honestly I'm not sure it's worth the extra $$.

The original and Equip'd are both great options, no complaints with my 1up.

I have the Single Super Duty and like it a lot. The tilt mechanism is probably my least favorite thing about the rack, so I see why they’d go a different route with the Equipd. Holds the bikes well, no issues. I bought the 2.5” adapter for my receiver and there is still zero play. The anodizing is fading but that doesn’t bother me. Would buy again.

I had a Kuat NV and it was ok but super heavy and I didn't like the way MTB bikes fit.
Switched to a 1up and would never go back. I have the heavy duty double with two extra bike attachements.

Yeah i was referring to the Equip'D model:

Thanks for confirming fitment on the smaller tire bikes. And yeah as MrFeeze said, the lift position lever looks kind of annoying...but that's addressed here so i shouldn't have to hear the wife complain about trunk accessibility :P

Appreciate the feedback from everyone...i think i have what i need to go ahead a pull the trigger with confidence.

I went with the new version of the original inventor. I’ve used it twice and my QRcd0.1 doesn’t move at all. I don’t
Notice any movement of the rack while driving. It’s my first and probably last rack, the reason I paid the extra for the
Updated features.

I bought the single and will soon buy an additional add-on.
