Overview
Kuat builds the Sherpa as a compact hitch rack that carries bikes on trays, holding them by the tires in cradles that fold away when empty. The frame is aluminum, and a cable lock comes with it for short stops.
Tire mounting avoids clamping the bike frame, and aluminum construction holds rack weight down for a tray design. The listing never states the hitch receiver size or the tire widths the cradles accept, so check both against your car and bikes.
Who it's for
Couples or riding partners heading to trailheads by car, with a hitch already installed. Owners of heavy e-bikes or families needing room for more bikes will outgrow the tray limits.
Pros and cons
- Holds bikes by the tires
- Tire cradles fold when not in use
- Cable lock comes included
- Aluminum construction for a lighter rack
- Hitch size and tire width range not listed
- Per-tray limit rules out heavy e-bikes
- Capacity stops at two bikes
- Warranty terms only described as limited
Performance notes
Bike stability depends on how tightly each tire is held in its cradle and how firmly the rack is fixed in the hitch receiver, since any play there turns into sway on bumps. Staying under the per-tray limit matters more than total load, because each tray carries its own bike.

Frequently asked questions
How do I store the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 when no bikes are loaded?
The tire cradles fold down when empty. Whether the whole rack tilts or folds up against the car is not described in the listing.
Can the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 carry an e-bike?
Each tray is rated to 40 lb, so an e-bike heavier than that is out.
Is the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 a roof or trunk rack?
No. It is a hitch mount rack, so the vehicle needs a hitch receiver.
