Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Hitch Bike Rack
Description
The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 is a premium, all-aluminum tray-style hitch bike rack built for cyclists who refuse to compromise on style or performance. Designed to carry two bikes weighing up to 40 pounds each, it's one of the lightest hitch racks in its class at just 32 pounds - making installation and removal genuinely effortless. Its sleek, minimalist aesthetic looks sharp on any vehicle, from daily drivers to weekend adventure rigs.
Engineered with Kuat's signature attention to detail, the Sherpa 2.0 features a foot-assisted pivot system for easy trunk access without unloading your bikes, a semi-integrated cable lock for trail-side security, and a no-frame-contact arm design that protects your bike's finish. Available in both 1.25" and 2" hitch sizes across three stylish color options, the Sherpa 2.0 is as functional as it is good-looking.
Key Features
- All-Aluminum Construction: Lightweight yet durable frame - assembled weight as low as 32 lbs. (2" model), keeping installation and removal simple.
- 2-Bike Capacity: Holds two bikes with a maximum weight of 40 lbs. per tray, and wheelbases up to 47 inches (50" with optional extension).
- Foot-Assisted Pivot System: Drop the rack with a gentle tap of your foot for hands-free trunk access - no need to remove bikes.
- Semi-Integrated Cable Lock: Built-in external cable lock secures your bikes, plus a matching keyed hitch lock included for peace of mind.
- No Frame Contact Design: Ratcheting arms grip the tires only, keeping your bike's frame and paint completely protected.
- Folding Tire Cradles: Cradles fold up and down for easy loading/unloading and clean storage when not in use.
- Adjustable Ratchet Arm: Single-hand release and secure mechanism provides an intuitive, wobble-free fit.
- 14" Bike Spacing: Increased spacing between bikes reduces the risk of pedal contact and frame damage during transport.
- Fits 1.25" and 2" Hitches: Available in both hitch sizes to fit a wide range of cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and flat-towed vehicles.
- Max Tire Width: Accommodates tires up to 3" wide, compatible with most road, mountain, and gravel bikes.
Color Options & Which to Choose
- Gray Metallic with Orange Anodize: A bold, sporty combination with warm orange accents - ideal for riders who want their rack to make a statement and complement adventure-oriented vehicles.
- Black Metallic with Gray Anodize: A sleek, understated look that pairs with virtually any vehicle color. The go-to choice for a clean, professional finish that never goes out of style.
- Pearl with Silver Anodize: A unique, eye-catching pearl white finish with silver accents - perfect for lighter-colored vehicles or anyone who wants something truly distinctive on the road.

Manuals & Guides
FAQ
What is the difference between the 1.25" and 2" hitch versions?
The only difference is the hitch receiver size the rack is designed to fit. The 1.25" version fits Class I and Class II hitch receivers commonly found on smaller cars and crossovers. The 2" version fits Class III and Class IV receivers found on most trucks, SUVs, and larger vehicles. Both versions have the same bike capacity and feature set. Check your vehicle's hitch receiver size before purchasing.
Can I access my trunk or tailgate without removing the bikes?
Yes - this is one of the Sherpa 2.0's standout features. The foot-assisted pivot system lets you tilt the entire rack down with a gentle tap of your foot, even when bikes are loaded, giving you full access to your vehicle's trunk or cargo area without unloading anything.
Will this rack damage my bike's frame?
No. The Sherpa 2.0 uses a no-frame-contact design where the adjustable ratchet arms grip the tires rather than the frame. Your bike's paint and finish stay completely protected during transport.
Is the Sherpa 2.0 compatible with e-bikes?
The Sherpa 2.0 supports bikes up to 40 lbs. per tray. Many e-bikes exceed this weight limit, so it's important to check your specific e-bike's weight before using this rack. If your e-bike is under 40 lbs., it should be compatible, provided the wheelbase and tire width also fall within the rack's limits.
Can I use the Sherpa 2.0 on an RV?
No - the Sherpa 2.0 is not rated for RV use. Kuat specifies that the rack requires a chassis-mounted hitch receiver with less than 64" distance from the center of the rear axle to the center of the hitch pin hole. Always consult Kuat's RV and Off-road Limitations guide for full details.
Does the rack come with a lock?
Yes. The Sherpa 2.0 includes a semi-integrated external cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack, as well as a matching keyed hitch lock to secure the rack to your vehicle. Both locks are keyed the same for convenience.
