- Cut Rack Noise and Movement: Hand knob tightens anti-rattle wedge inside hitch for a stable ride.

- Lift and Store Easily: Lightweight 32-lb aluminum build resists rust and folds up when not in use.
Features to know about
Smooth Loading Without Frame Contact: Ratcheting Wheel Hooks
Bikes with custom paint or carbon frames stay protected thanks to front-wheel-only contact. The Sherpa 2.0’s rotating arms use ratcheting hooks that clamp the front tire without ever touching the frame. Just drop the wheel into the cradle, swing the arm over, and press down until snug. It’s a quick, solid hold that keeps your bike steady on the road and your finish scratch-free.
Easy Rear Access While Loaded: Hands-Free Foot Pedal Tilt
Grabbing gear from the back is simple with the spring-loaded foot lever. Even with both bikes on board, you can tilt the rack down using just your foot and keep both hands free to guide it smoothly. When you’re done, fold it back up for storage. The same pedal design also folds the rack upright when unloaded, saving space and keeping it out of the way.
Quiet, Tool-Free Setup: Anti-Rattle Cam System
Installing the rack doesn’t call for wrenches or extra hardware. Slide the aluminum shank into your 2" hitch and tighten the hand knob until it’s snug. Inside, an anti-rattle wedge expands to lock everything in place for a silent, steady ride. The built-in locking hitch pin adds another layer of security so the rack stays put where it belongs.
Light but Strong: 40 lb Capacity Per Bike in a 32 lb Rack
At only 32 lbs total weight, the Sherpa 2.0 is easy to lift, remove, and store without help. Each tray holds up to 40 lbs per bike with room for 25"–29" wheels (and 20"–24" with an adapter, sold separately), tire widths up to 3.0", and wheelbases up to 47". The aluminum body’s pearl metallic powder coat resists rust while keeping the look clean for years of hauling.
Built-In Security: Keyed-Alike Cable and Hitch Locks
The included 6' x 1/4" cable lock loops through both bikes and secures directly into the outer tray. A matching lock on the hitch pin keeps the rack attached where you mounted it—no separate keys or extra locks to juggle. With both locks keyed alike, one set covers everything so your bikes and rack are protected every time you park.

No buyer’s remorse here! After quite a bit of reading and comparing, I have no regrets about purchasing the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. Excellent product, great quality. I would purchase all over again. It is a solid rack that is esthetically impressive to boot.

Really impressed by the quality. Some minor assembly required but the factory has made assembly very easy. The rack is very sturdy & the hitch tightening assembly works really well. The rack positioning also works flawlessly and is solid. Yes it is an expensive rack but you get what you pay for here. Of course eTrailers shipping page keeps you abreast of where your package is located as it makes its way to you. As soon as UPS drops the package off at your door its immediately reflected on your orders shipping page. So you dont have to wait at home for it to arrive. Just check eTrailers online shipping page & you know when it has arrived.

The quality of this rack is outstanding. I had a Saris super clamp ex and had to take it back for other reasons not related to quality and this rack by Kuwat is a better built higher quality rack and ease of operations is much better than the Saris. The attention to quality is evident right out of the box with the assembly process. You will be highly satisfied with this purchase!

I usually don't write too many product reviews, BUT I compulsively read them all the time in detail before purchasing items! This time I decided to return the favor to mankind and write a review for the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. I just LOVE IT! I had a problem assembling it - spent about 15 hours trying to put it together along with lots of additional help but it was impossible. The company paid for us to take it in to our local bike shop to fix it. So I was happy.
I am a petite 5'2" woman and not very strong and I am able to carry and put this rack into the hitch and load and strap my bike/bikes all by myself with relative ease!!! Which is exactly what i needed in a bike rack! I have had this rack for one year and have taken my bikes on this rack all over and they are secured extremely well. I also like that it has a bike lock/chain that is incorporated in the rack - so I didn't need to buy a separate lock! It also uses the same key that locks the bike rack to the hitch! So no juggling of two keys! I don't think there is anything else that I could have asked for in this rack that they could improve on and this says a lot coming from quite a fastidious consumer!
It also looks very sleek and stylish and goes very well with my white Nissan murano! Added bonus!!! I love it!

I purchased this product at the height of the pandemic and it took approximately 3-4 months to arrive. Once assembled, it turned out that a critical metal component of the rack had an apparent manufacturing/sizing defect that prevented proper assembly. I was impressed with Kuat's customer service, which requested I send photos of the suspect part and which ultimately resulted in the replacement of a large segment of the rack, the individual cost of which was approximately 25% of the overall purchase price. Since that replacement, the rack has worked flawlessly. Sometimes one has to chalk up a bad experience to the slim odds of a manufacturing defect, which occurred here. However, once examined, Kuat more than satisfied. But for the delays occasioned by the defect, would otherwise rate 5 stars.

Have assembled the hitch, very easy, but have not used it yet with the bikes. Will do so as soon as the weather improves for bike riding.
High quality product that looks good and should provide many years of excellent service.
Impressed with the light weight that is easy to move around. Significant improvement over past hitches which were very heavy and difficult for one person to install.

Very fast to mount and unmount the bike. I never remove the rack from the SUV - I can easily open the back doors by lowering the rack. Its been flawless. Never rattles. Supports the bikes by the wheels, not the frame. I have carbon frame bikes and don't worry about them even when driving over bumpy roads.

Quality product, good design/engineering, and works well with my mountain bikes, road bikes and ebikes with fenders. Like the quick bike mounting, integrated cable lock, easy to use knob for tightening the rack into the receiver hitch. I switched to a hitch rack with a new vehicle purchase after twenty years of a roof rack system. They each have their pluses and minuses but this Sherpa 2.0 seems to be a quality product after one year of use. I’d recommend the NV model for heavier ebike loads. Etrailer customer service, quick delivery and price makes them a go to vendor.

The quality of the constructed parts and ease of use is excellent and justifies the cost of this bicycle carrier. Only gave 4 stars, because I had to disassemble the it some by loosing two bolts, to get the bolt I was to install to line up with the hole. This added about seven to ten minutes more to assemble time. In all there is only four bolts to be installed. The directions and on line video made it easy, except for the one bolt I had the issue with. Like the fact it is not black, but pearl white; nice on sunny 90 degree day to not burn the fingers. Excellent Made in America quality product!

Thanks to etrailer reviews and customer service we selected the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 pearl for our white Porsche SUV. The rack was easy to assemble and attach to our hitch. Bikes feel very secure. The color matches well to our car - interesting change from basic black. Etrailer kept me updated with status of order (was on back order due to high demand) and followed up post delivery.

After ordering one rack that did not work out, I had a great conversation with Tommy C who guided me to the Kuat Sherpa rack. BINGO!!! Exactly what I needed. I had a hitch installed and put the rack on. I will say it was very difficult for me to assemble. I ended up calling a friend to help me. Once it was assembled it’s been a breeze to use. I can easily put it on by myself. I would’ve given 5 stars if the assembly had been easier.

This is a sturdy, well engineered product. The shipping box acts as the assembly platform, making the assembly a snap. The rack fits perfectly in the hitch and the bikes are easy to mount. The bikes are held snuggly in place. The rack is expensive, but worth the money. One note, when folded up, it can interfere with the rear backup camera on our Jeep, which is not a big issue with me.

Love this hitch rack! Its very easy to load the bikes on and is very stable in the hitch (no wobbling or rattles).
And it’s light enough for my wife to pick up and install by herself when she’s riding with her friends.
Highly recommend!

Very nice bike rack. I purchased the white (pearl) one. It matches my truck. Get lots of compliments. Easy to put on and very light yet strong. I recommend this bike rack. It does not put pressure on your frame. The bike sit on it and the clamps hold the tires down.

This bike rack is great! Light weight and easy to get on and off of our car or truck and with the foot pedal we can move it out of the way with the bikes on it and still raise the door on the back of our Subaru. It is easy to load the bikes on the rack and secure them with the folding arms and straps on the rack.

Bike rack arrived promptly and undamaged. Now that it is assembled I love it. The etrailer website videos showing features and operation were much appreciated however the assembly instructions were lacking. There were unidentified parts, unlabeled parts, poor descriptions and I could not find a video to assist with assembly. It should have taken 15 minutes to assemble but took much longer because my 1st 2 attempts were unsuccessful.

What a spectacular bike rack! I saw the rack in the local bike shop. I was sold. With the sales tax savings.... I caved and purchased online. The bikes are solidly cradled on the Kuat. A prior bike rake led to bike finish scrapes....not with the Kuat!
The purchase and shipping were uneventful. I am happy to refer "etrailer" to my friends! Thanks.

See what our Experts say about this Kuat Hitch Bike Rack
- Bike Rack Recommendation Similar to Kuat Sherpa that Can Be Used at Rear of 5th Wheel TrailerAt the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the trailer which exaggerates the movement of the trailer when hitting bumps. Because of that only a few bike racks were designed to be reinforced enough for that type of use. We do have the very similar Swagman E-Spec bike rack part # S94FR...

This is compatible with 1-1/4" receivers in Black # SH12B, Pearl # SH12P, and Gray # SH12G, as well as 2" receivers in Black # SH22B, Pearl # SH22P, and Gray # SH22G.

For a trailer hitch I highly recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98907 because it's the only option that has the matte black finish. Not only is this type of finish becoming more popular, it serves a purpose too because it hides dents and scratches better than...

- Will a Trailer Hitch Interfere with the Foot Tailgate Activation on a 2018 Mercedes GLA 250Installing a trailer hitch, like the Curt # C13197 that you referenced, on a vehicle like your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA-250 with the foot activated tailgate will slightly interfere with the activation.

There isn't a light kit made specifically for your Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack, so I recommend going with the Yakima PlateMate # Y02713 to mount your license plate and Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 to add running, turn, and brake lights to the bike rack. The # Y02713 mounts to your bike, or when no bike is installed, the rack. It uses velcro straps for easy switching between different setups once you get to your destination.

- Kuat Sherpa 2.0 vs. Kuat Transfer V2 for 2 Inch Trailer HitchI can help you choose between the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 and Kuat Transfer V2, as both are really nice bike racks. Let me start off, since you mentioned 3-bike rack, if that's what you were after you would need the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # KU24FR because the Sherpa doesn't have that option. That said, between the 2-bike versions of these racks, one advantage of the Transfer V2 is its weight capacity; it has a 60 lb per-bike capacity vs. the Sherpa 2.0's 40 lb per-bike capacity....

- Can Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Fit Subaru Outback Factory HitchThe very shallow hitch pin of the factory hitch on your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon makes installing bike racks challenging as most aren't compatible.

- Is the Lock on the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes SecureIn regards to the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes part # SH22P, the knob on the front of the rack is just an anti-rattle device. The actual locking mechanism is built into the hitch pin and bike cables. The hitch pin is solid steel so it's not easily broken and the lock core itself is very durable. I don't recall of any accounts where security was an issue with this rack. The fact of the matter is that no lock is theft-proof, it's usually the presence of a lock that deters thieves...

For overall ease of installation, the way both racks install is exactly the same - you just insert the rack into your hitch, turn the knob at the front of the rack, put the locking hitch pin in and you're done.

If you used a sleeve style hitch adapter you would have some noticeable movement between the rack and the hitch. It wouldn't be crazy but it depends on how stable you want the rack and the hitch. For an adapter then you'd want the part # HT02 if that is the route you want to go with the EcoHitch # 306-X7322. We really can't endorse or give advice...
