Hey Ryan!

Yes sir! That's actually one of the biggest improvements with the new Kuat Sherpa v3. You can start with the 1-Bike Rack # KU39HR for a 2" receiver or # KU99HR for a 1-1/4" receiver, then add the Sherpa v3 1-Bike Add-On # KU49HR whenever you need to carry your wife's bike.

The add-on bolts onto the single-bike rack and can be removed when you're riding alone. Each bike position supports up to 50 lbs, so you don't lose any carrying capacity by going modular.

If you expect to carry two bikes regularly, I'd go with the dedicated 2-bike Sherpa v3 instead. We have # KU36HR for 2" receivers and # KU79HR for 1-1/4" receivers. Just keep in mind that these dedicated 2-bike versions cannot accept the add-on to carry a third bike.

All versions include the hitch lock, cable lock, and tilting mechanism for easier rear vehicle access.

What vehicle are you planning to use the rack on, and does it have a 1-1/4" or 2" hitch receiver?
