KuatSherpa 2.0 Hitch Rack(Return to Product Page)

Such an elegant and super light weight rack. Tired of hefting rigs up top the SUV after a long day of riding and or too dirty to toss in the back of the SUV after graveling, entering this awesome lightweight solution. Lightest in its class, minimalist does not block or obstruct, at least my, rear camera. Super light to lug to rig, means on and off far more likely than its heavier brethren. And miles saved in MPG from no longer having the top rack and no longer a worry about the car wash... so many wins in such a simple package.

Bought this rack a few months ago and am wholly impressed with the style, function, safety, and sturdiness. I was forced into the 1.25" version which I expected to be not as sturdy as the 2", but I was pleasantly surprised. The integrated hitch stabilizer makes it super sturdy and can be tightened with the provided 8mm hex. I wish the lock was integrated, but it also comes with a lock that doesn't make any noise despite it being a bit oversized and loose when installed. There is some small movement while holding two 30lb mtb's but overall very sturdy. The profile is perfect. I can see straight out my hatchback window without any obstruction from the rack. It folds down easily with a push of the lever and you get a very audible click when it's in place. Bikes go on quickly and secure tightly with the arm and rear wheel strap.

I am an average senior competitive cyclist. I do mostly timed trial events nationally. I use this rack primarily to transport my bike to cycling events. There are no issues that I seem to have problems with other than attaching the safety lock. It appears that there is something preventing the bolt from being inserted. I have not had time to figure out what the issue is, but my car and rack is in the garage most of the time so, that level of security has not been an issue for my part. I love the design as well as the ability to get into the trunk of my car with the bikes loaded onto the rack. Before purchasing this Kuat, this was always a problem with packing gear. But that rack was trunk mounted and not storage friendly. Finally the only downside that I had was the length of time I waited to get the rack. I believe I ordered it in November 2020 and did not get the rack until February or March 2021. I was told that the racks were back ordered. I refused to cancel the order because the reviews were great and the cost was $100.00 cheaper at the time I placed the order. If I had canceled and ordered from a different company, I was looking at an addition fee tacked on to the increased cost of the rack. So I just prayed that I would get it sooner than later......Thank you Western Bike Works for finally coming through. I am a happy cyclist for sure...

This rack delivers wverything it promises. Light, secure, stylish. Easy to operate one handed. Hitch and cable locks make it easy to secure.

Ive used this rack many times now and find it easy to operate. It has a very snug fit and leaves me feeling comfortable that my bike is safe. It also has a very clean finish that looks sharp. This is the best rack that Ive ever owned and Ive had several.

In theory the build it in the box sounded like a great idea. The one I received however had a major flow in one small piece which made it impossible to instal in box. It required me to mount it to the hitch and then loosen every bolt so I could install the tray rods and subsequent back plate. The product its self is easy to use for the most part, secures the bike snuggly and is very sleek, slim and lighter then the Thule. However, if it wasn't for the astronomical return fee I would have returned it and purchased another Thule XTR.

I�ve always wanted a kuat hitch rack for how beautiful it looks compared to other brand bike racks. Love that my bikes sit on the stand as opposed to a previous rack I had that had the bikes hanging by the frame. I feel like it is more safer to have a fork mounted raiser bar and the cable seems pretty reliable. It�s all one system. Assembly was pretty easy too!

I've tried a few different bike racks and this by far is the best in my opinion. I love the fact that you can tighten the hitch so there is no movement play or vibration. It really makes you feel that much more secure to your vehicle. It also has its owe security mechanism as well which you put around your bike/bikes and lock it to the bike rack itself. This is just a really amazing product.

Use the bike rack every day for either mountain bike (29" tires) or road bike.

Excellent. Light weight and easy to remove from the hitch and easy to install on a hitch. Durable. Easy to lower the rack with bikes on and still able to open the trunk of my vehicle. Great locking system.

What a great rack!! Very easy to assemble and use. Both bikes feel safe!!!

Price is Right. Great deal

I like everything about it.It is very easy to set up and use.

This is a terrific rack. I was easy to assemble and even easier to use. The rack is especially easy to mount on my car's hitch. It's also relatively light (32 lbs.) so I have no trouble getting it from the garage on to my car's hitch even though I am 70 years old and not nearly as strong as I once was. I can get my bike on or off the rack in less than 30 seconds and, when mounted, my bike is safe and secure. I especially like the fact that nothing touches my bike's frame. In sum, I am more than satisfied with this rack and I would recommend it to anyone who seeks a safe, secure and lightweight hitch rack.

We are happy to say we have the best carrier so far, easy and quick assembly. For us most of all it was important to have a light weight yet Sturdy carrier, with tilt options that secured to the hitch without moving or bouncing while driving. Kat is a Home run in every aspect, highly recommended!

Perfect size for my truck not too big and not too small.

Perfect size for my truck not too big and not too small.

Initially had trouble pulling the trigger due to price, but having used it feel it�s worth the investment. Really quick and easy to put the bike on, very stable, purchased the adapter to attach to both size hitches, and like the way it folds up when not in use.

Effective and secure bike rack. Easily assembled and easy to attach/remove from receiver hitch. On my 2020 Rav4, effectively carried road and TT bikes. Bikes stay very secure and. properly placed, don't move much. Still, on the inner rack, my MTB (29'er) bars were a little close to the rear window on my vehicle. A little shim of some sort in the wheel well (I used a shop towel) raised it enough to make it work.

Overall, an excellent product.

`I'm very happy with the purchase of this rack . I don't generally keep the rack on my SUV, storing it in garage when not in use. What drew me to the Sherpa 2.0 is the 32 lb weight. This rack is 17 lbs lighter than the similar one it replaced...which makes installation and removal a breeze. The knob that takes the rattle out of the hitch connection is a great feature. Assembly was straightforward. My road and gravel bike quickly attach, and are very secure.
