Why We Like The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack
We like the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 because it's lightweight, easy to use, and capable of hauling just about any bike around—short of a 50-pound freeride monster. The Sherpa 2.0 supports two bikes up to 40 pounds each, and it features a foot-actuated pivot lever that we can use to unfold the rack, even with our hands full. Kuat modified the design to create a greater 14-inch space between bikes, so they both have plenty of personal space on longer trips.

Rack Gets Me to Ride More
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Love my Sherpa! Agree with other 5 star reviews. Easy to load bikes which gets me out of the house faster. Looks great and seems well built.

Great rack for road bikes
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I bought the 2 inch version to transport my road bikes on long road trips. I wanted a rack that was sturdy and wouldn't harm the bikes while spending hours on the road. The rack has been fantastic. Unfortunately when I bought a new car I needed to switch from a 2 inch hitch to a 1.25 inch hitch. Luckily, Kuat has a rack for both situations.

Fantastic Bike Carrier

- I've put it through the wringer
One of the best MTB accessories I've ever purchased. This thing is extremely well built and should last for many years to come. Do yourself a favor, don't waist your time or money on something cheap trying to save a few bucks...buy this one! Enjoy!

Easy to use but blocks car's exhaust
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
It's very easy to load bikes onto this bike rack and fold it up and down. Unfortunately, the swing arm sits right in front of my car's exhaust ('18 BMW X1) when folded up so I returned it.

Fantastic Design and Durability
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Purchased this several months ago for transporting two bikes locally. Love the design! It is easy to use and very aesthetically pleasing as well. Easy for me (50 yr old female) to load onto my hitch and secure. Easy to load the bikes and secure these as well. Appears to be well made and durable. Good purchase.

Doesn't work well for long/modern bikes
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I've had this rack for several years and it's not holding up well. My bikes (medium Pivot Firebird and medium Scott Genius) each have a wheelbase of nearly 48" (not super long, but definitely not short). The rear wheel hangs somewhat off the rack and stresses the front tire cradle. This seems to be causing stress on all pivots on the rack. I looked up the capacity of the Sherpa 2.0 and apparently it is only designed to hold bikes with a wheelbase up to 47", so I guess it's not good for modern/large bikes. I noticed that Kuat's other racks (NV and Transfer) hold bikes with a wheelbase up to 50". Perhaps those would be a better option.

Nice Rack!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- 2 inch receiver
Took 15 minutes to install taking the tips from other reviews to follow unpacking instructions. Only thing I didn't like was the hitch pin is small for my Ram. Will use master lock in its place. Other than that it's super easy to use and great tilting feature. Easy load and unload.

Perfect Rack
- Familiarity:

I could not be happier with my purchase! I bought my Sherpa 2 rack several months ago. I have used it for several long trips (more than 300 miles roundtrip). For now, I keep it on my Subaru Forester but plan to purchase the wall mount device and store it in my garage. The rack is easily assembled from the box and is a high-quality product. I am impressed by how easy it is to keep clean. The rack holds my wife's e-bike (50 pounds) and my carbon fiber bike. Easy to use. I am very pleased with the product and have helped sell my friends on purchasing them for their vehicles. While the cable lock supplied is good for short periods of time (making a quick trip inside a store or fuel center), I purchased a much stronger lock to use for overnight periods. I encourage you NOT TO USE A BIKE COVER WITH THIS RACK or it may act as a sail, catch the wind and bend the support bars. Instead, I cover my bikes with a tarp after stopping for the evening and remove it the following day. I will not hesitate to purchase another Sherpa when the time comes!

BIFL warranty!
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
First review of any product (ever). I?ve had this rack for 4 years. In the last year, the ratchet arms have been sticky when fully compressed. I use it all seasons taking it on and off the car for an average of 100 days per year. This week I tried to move the outer arm for the first time in several months and it was fully seized. After serious yanking and copious solvent it came loose but was still sticking when approaching full compression. Took it apart (not recommended) and found major corrosion on the tube. Emailed Kuat for warranty claim late last night (no proof of purchase just contact info and serial #). This morning received a friendly email that they would ship me two new complete arm assemblies. No charge for parts, free shipping. Later today they shipped, arrive next Wednesday. ARE YOU SERIOUS! Nobody comes close to this type of no questions asked warranty and service. I will recommend this company to everyone. Simply the best.
