- Owners agree the Sherpa 2.0 is easy to install and remove.
- The Sherpa 2.0 can tilt forward, allowing easier trunk access when bikes are mounted.

9 reasons not to buy
- The rack is only for paved roads. Küat says it cannot be used on “unpaved surfaces.”
- Experts and owners say the tilt latch is “a pain” to reach.
- The rubber on the ratchet arm gets “chewed up” with use. Some owners report it detaching.
- The rack may block license plates and backup cameras on certain vehicles.
- Multiple owners say their exhaust melted the plastic ratchet arm positioned close to it.
- Owners must buy an adaptor to transport bikes with wheels between 20” and 24.”
- One expert demonstrates that bikes can easily fall inward and damage the trunk upon lifting the ratchet arm, as it's positioned on the outside. Users must constantly hold the mounted bikes to prevent this.
- Küat only uses 20 different locks for the hitch lock on all units sold, so the possibility of theft is higher.
- Küat warns that the Sherpa 2.0 is not compatible with all RVs.
Bottom line
The Küat Sherpa 2.0 is a platform hitch rack available for 1.25” or 2” hitches. Experts and reviewers praise the stability, sleek design, low weight, and ease of use. Potential buyers should consider license plate visibility and the distance to their vehicle’s exhaust pipe. Complaint center around the plastic ratchet arm that wears quickly and allows the bikes to fall inward once lifted. While it’s not designed for driving off-road, those in need of a stable, lightweight hitch rack for general transportation of bikes under 40lb find it worth the considerable price.BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!
