Built for easy handling without sacrificing strength, the Sherpa 2.0 hauls two bikes—up to 40 lbs each—on a lightweight 32-lb aluminum frame. The platform design with a 1-1/4" hitch connection keeps things steady without extra tools or heavy lifting. Its pearl metallic powder coat not only looks sharp but resists rust, so it stays clean mile after mile.
Carbon frames and custom paint deserve care. The Sherpa 2.0’s ratcheting hooks grab each bike by the front wheel—never the frame—so nothing rubs or scrapes in transit. The pivoting rear cradles self-adjust to different wheelbases up to 47" and secure everything with a ratcheting strap. Each cradle fits tires up to 3.0" wide, keeping road bikes, gravel bikes, and most trail setups locked in and damage-free.
Reaching your cargo is simple thanks to the spring-loaded foot pedal. Step on it to tilt the rack down, even with bikes loaded, so you can grab your gear without unloading. When you’re done riding, fold the rack up for a clean, compact fit that stays clear of bumpers and backup cameras.
No wrenches required. Slide the Sherpa 2.0 into your hitch and twist the front-mounted knob until snug. The internal anti-rattle wedge locks it firm to eliminate play at the hitch, and the keyed-alike hitch pin adds extra security. It’s a quick install that’s steady on the road and easy to remove when the ride’s over.
A 6' x 1/4" locking cable secures both bikes to the rack, while a matching lock on the hitch pin keeps the rack attached. Both use the same key, so one turn locks it all down. Whether you’re stopping for coffee or calling it a day, the Sherpa 2.0 keeps your setup safe and ready for the next ride.

Still love this bike rack after one year however, a note of caution is warranted. Kuat advises to place the front tire holder as close to the fork as possible. I placed a very expensive bike with fenders on the rack and put the front tire holder just in front of fender because I didn’t want to bend the fender against the tire. As I was going down the road the bike rocked and the front of bike fell off. The bike was damaged as it was dragged along the pavement for several feet. Just remember to put the front holder as close to the fork as possible and you will love this rack.

Thanks so much for the awesome review Thomas! It sounds like the Sherpa 2.0 has been a perfect match for your specialized bikes and your RAV4. We love hearing when a rack is easy to use and makes getting out on a ride that much easier. I also like that you mentioned storing it in your cargo area between rides, that's a great tip for anyone who doesn't leave their rack on all the time. Where do you usually like to ride, mostly around town or do you have a favorite trail or destination you head to?

Still performs & looks like new after one year and hundreds of miles of bike hauling use later. Its about to embark on a 1200-mile round trip to Nova Scotia, and we have zero concerns about our bike rack.
