Hauling bikes shouldn’t feel like a workout before the ride. The Sherpa 2.0 keeps things light at just 32 lbs, built from rust-resistant aluminum with a sleek black metallic powder coat. Even with its minimal weight, it handles 2 bikes up to 40 lbs each with total confidence. It’s easy to lift, mount, and remove without needing a second set of hands, making it a solid choice for riders who value convenience as much as durability.
Carbon fiber, custom finishes, or just a bike you care about—none of them need to risk a scratch. The Sherpa’s ratcheting hooks grip by the front wheel, not the frame, keeping paint and tubes untouched. The pivoting rear-wheel cradles and ratcheting straps adjust automatically to fit your wheelbase, holding everything tight from 25" to 29" wheels (or 20"–24" with an adapter, sold separately) and tires up to 3.0" wide.
Getting to your gear shouldn’t mean unloading bikes. The foot-operated lever lets you tilt the rack down with bikes loaded for quick cargo access. When the ride is done, it folds up flat to save space. The spring-loaded mechanism is easy to reach and lets you keep both hands on the rack while lowering it, so movement stays smooth and controlled.
No tools, no wobble. The Sherpa’s hand-tightening cam system deploys an internal anti-rattle wedge that pulls the rack tight inside the hitch. Just turn the front knob until snug—no bolts or wrenches required. For extra peace of mind, a locking hitch pin adds a secure connection that won’t shake loose on rough roads.
Bikes and rack stay protected together. The Sherpa 2.0 includes a 6' long x 1/4" thick cable lock for your bikes and a keyed-alike hitch lock for the rack itself. Loop the cable through both bikes, lock it into the tray, and you’re set. Both locks use the same key, so keeping your setup secure is as simple as locking once and rolling out.

Works well but pretty creaky even when all the bolts have been tightened. Still holds bikes pretty well. Front wheel moved slightly during a long trip.

The bikes do not feel secure on the rack. We had an incident where the bike was dragging behind our car once. I believe it was due to someone messing with the rack while we were dining out. Since this time we have double checked to make sure everything is secure and we have not had that issue. 2 We had the bridge police Throgs Neck Bridge, New York stop us this past May because he said, the license plate was covered by the bike rack. We did not have the bikes on the rack at the time.

The rack is still working great! We had a Saris bones previously, and this rack is so much easier to load the bikes on, and weve never had any issues, even whenb weve hauled our bikes up to Canada. Thanks for checking in, you guys are great, Ive recommended you to anyone looking to buy any kind of bike rack.
