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.

Nearly perfect
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I bought this to replace my RockyMounts SplitRail, which perished in a rear-end accident. I really like the Sherpa aesthetically--it's compact and clean. I don't like the pivot lever at all. No matter what, it requires two hands or a hand and a foot. The SplitRail (and most Thule & Yakima racks) have an easy-to-use lever that can be used with one hand. Usually when I need to open my hatch, it's b/c I have armloads of stuff to put in there, and this requires me to put things down to pivot the rack and open the hatch. I'd call it a minor design flaw. If the the SplitRail were still available, I would've gone with that, but I'm still happy w/ this purchase overall.

Easiest to use and lightweight!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
This is by far the best bike rack I've owned! Very well engineered. The box was even designed to aid in assembly! Very easy to use, very light and excellent construction. Fits all of our bikes with different frame styles. My old rack was difficult to mount bikes with square carbon tubing, and mountain bikes with sloping top tubes. This rack fits them all.

Just Buy It - You Won't Regret
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I research a lot before a purchase. Sometimes to the point of analysis paralysis. After comparing this to other brands and asking other riders at an event a few weeks ago it was an easy decision.

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
- Familiarity:
- 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.
