Once installed it is a breeze, but getting it there is hard due to the weight. I LOVE the Kuat Transfer 2 bike rack. This seemed to work fine, and is a relatively easy change (~30 seconds with a 5 mm hex wrench). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Another concern (pre-purchase) was about interference with the backup camera, mainly when the rack is folded up. The hitch pin is threaded to help reduce rattle and movement and is tightened with the included Allen Wrench or included boxed/open end wrench. Other thoughts: I recommending getting the PN# PTSCLK12 to cable secure your bikes and the bike transporter itself. Lightweight- only 37 lbs so easy to install on hitch , threaded hitch pin holds rack and bikes super tight- no wobbling at all, easy to load bikes with step in design, easy to tilt rack with bikes loaded, folds up when not in use, doesn’t block rear camera, I bought the additional locks that fit nicely in the rack and price was really reasonable even with adding on the locks. I can easily put it on by myself. In all there is only four bolts to be installed. It fits perfectly on my faithful old Subaru Baja and accommodates nicely the car (truck?) Easy to mount, easy to use. 796181, Recently bought a hitch & a rack. Various combos of road and MT bikes all fit together. Thank you etrailer for a pleasant transaction. The Kuat Transfer 2 bike rack is made of quality material and workmanship. Had a few questions for the etrailer folks and all were answered quickly and courteously. Very informative!! In addition, due to our car's sunroof, a roof rack was not an option. Your Curt trailer hitch receiver sits 4-1/2 inches back from the edge of your bumper, so this will give you 3 inches of clearance when folded. If the bike rack is left in the rain in the stowed position for extended periods of time the water will get inside of the bike rack and begin to corrode the inside. Love this rack!! Its a good $40 investment especially for the lock to your vehicle to bike transporter. Bottom line: works great. And, my husband assembled it in about an hour. 589923, The Kuat bike rack is outstanding. This bike rack is really good for the money. 428853, Really solid product. All good! No Issues. Watched assembly video on YouTube before putting together and it made assembly a breeze. 528135, Bought the hitch to replace another hitch as it was more versatile for many different bikes. etrailer.com is a topnotch company to buy from. 609763, I usually don't write too many product reviews, BUT I compulsively read them all the time in detail before purchasing items! Continue to be very happy with this bike rack. 773881, Bought one for myself and liked it so much I bought 2 more to retail at my bike shop. I really like the bike rack. Great product. I recommend roadmaster quiet hitch for 1 1/4 inch hitches part, Having owned this for a year now. I had a problem assembling it - spent about 15 hours trying to put it together along with lots of additional help but it was impossible. We’ve taken many long road trips with it and there is no worry about the bikes. Horrible design. Simple to put on the car and take off. It is very sturdy and does not weigh to much. I like the way it can be hinged down to get out of the way of the rear door of my SUV without removing the bike. Looks like a keeper! Heavy racks that require a ratchet to complete the install simply were not going to work for us. 854377, Love this Sherpa The etrailer online video provides great assistance with assembly which took me a little over an hour. It fit my purpose. Assembly was easy. But it is a two man job and a car lift would have made installation a lot easier. Pros Easy to use, secure, comes with cable and locking hitch pin, 1.25 or 2.0", folds up out of the way. I called etrailer and they sent me replacement parts and an extension piece to avoid this from happening again however if I knew about this issue before hand I’d probably get a different bike rack. They let water enter into the main bar of the rack I went with the Transfer 2 because I caught a sale price that made it half of the cost of the Sherpa. It is on the heavy side which is good and bad. 913225, I am very happy with my purchase!!! Bikes are stable when on the road. The box held the base so the two platforms could be easily attached. Appears to be a well engineered product. Looks like a good purchase Great service! Assembly was a breeze, and learning to mount and secure bikes was equally simple. 645110, Works well so far with my full suspension 29er. Their Customer Service is some of the very best. Once again etrailer performed flawlessly with a quick delivery that arrived a day sooner than they estimated and the valuable resources on their website that assist you to make a confident purchasing decision. The rack still looks like new after a year. Also, Kuat customer service is great! Really pleased with my purchase. The foot pedal is such a breeze to use. I must have missed that in the description. I just had them send a lock and the special tool to replace it. The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22G and the NV 2.0 # NV22G that you referenced are both excellent platform-style racks that will hold your bikes by the front wheels with no frame contact. Looks great I had just purchased an expensive new electric bicycle and didn't want to risk using an inferior bike carrier. Can't find a better website with more objective information. Thank you so much. Very well engineered and extremely stable. Even the back wheel straps are substantial and not cheap feeling, working smoothly into the holders. Etrailer.com provided current updates during the order process. This is a very nice rack. Tilt down feature gives me access to trunk. The action makes it very easy to access the back of the Honda CR-V. The only issue I have had is the ring for cover for the hitch pin lock no longer stays attached when lifted off. Between my kids and I, we have a hybrid road bike, a fat bike and a 27.5+. It's somewhat heavy, since it's steel, but not too much for me to handle by any means. I consider myself pretty strong. When I replied to the email after hours on a Friday night I got a reply within an hour. My wife is 5’-2” and is fit, but still struggles to move and mount the rack to the hitch. 769492, Fast shipping! The rack seems to be of quality material. We are working hard to … Really need to align properly and push down hard. etrailer, per usual, was solid. It looks and works as well as when it was new! Few parts. 769616, PERFECT!!!! The components were well packaged with all the nuts bolts etc separated into their own packages so it was easy to sort through while following the directions. It does not put pressure on your frame. My only complaint is when the rack is in the upright, stowed position, it rattles a good deal as you drive. Nothing big, just a few small things. It's REALLY nice that Kuat includes all the tools you need, including a 19mm wrench. Really SOLID...we take it across the USA (long trips) and there is absolutely NO movement, rattle, etc! I had one issue during assembly where I overtightened bolts and fatigued plastic mating surfaces. The arms are very solid, fold smoothly and extend cleanly-- very sturdy feel. I'm not happy spending that much money to be dented. Does what I need it to do. Product arrived earlier then expected. 511771, Product arrived intact and was packaged well. I've traced it back to the foot latch you depress to move the rack from upright, to bike hauling, to hatch access positions. For the money there is no better 2 bike carrier in terms of quality of construction materials, weight, and function. Only downside is its a little heavy for me to handle myself. Now I have to order a lock assembly and pay shipping when it could have been included with the rack and shipped free. This rack is quiet and does not rattle or sway when driving. 450560, Like most people, I purchased this bike rack on line. We use it all the time and love the bike rack. No problems with anything. I do plan to install an extender to accommodate the large spare tire that is on the JEEP. I'll keep Etrailer in my bookmarks for future needs. 792407, Found product to be profoundly engineered except 1 front tire holder that wouldn't accept the holding screw for some reason, it ended up stripping the holding screw. The bikes are held solid and don't shake while driving. Will be getting a new vehicle soon and will definitely use etrailer again. Performance & security by Cloudflare, Please complete the security check to access. Tire cradles adjust so no interference of seats and bars between bikes. Love love Love my new bike rack. 226960, I ordered this bike rack because I wanted a decent platform rack for a fair price, and this new Küat product seemed to fit the bill. It will take some effort to steal my Sherpa 2.0. Now it is simple to take the little ones bike along for rides. The bike rack it still perfect! The rack is very sturdy & the hitch tightening assembly works really well. The bikes travelled without jiggling around and i felt very secure with them there. The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 is exactly the right fit for the truck (F150 4X4) and how we plan to use this unit to camp and bike. I got the integrated lock system and it's very convenient. I just deal with the weight. The installation is great close to 0 wobble.tge quality is great too. Bikes stay put while driving! I thought for sure that the bikes would be lost but no issues. 414225, Not the rack I originally ordered but am extremely happy with the looks and design so far. Love it! We love the drop down lever which allows access to rear hatch. Overall super nice, sturdy rack! Fits and works nicely. I had a Sherpa before I went to the 1up rack. 667783, Assembly was very easy as the assembly design is well-thought out, requires only the included allen wrench. The rack's back-tilt feature makes it easy to put the hatchback up for rear access. No issues. It is very rigid and very quick to load. 589231, We haven't used the rack yet because the snow is flying, but we are heading to warmer weather soon. Plastic parts of the rack, especially the hook for the front tire squeals like a pig when rotated. 806059, Delivery was fast and on time. In order to make. 409853, The Kuat TS02G was easy to assemble. Would be better if the 1.25 hitch had a shim. It literally takes me 5 minutes to load the rack onto my vehicle and then load type bike. 769832, Super rack... stylish and secure. I was using a 3/8 ratchet with an hex-head driver and ended up pushing a spacer too far into the assembly. 750244, This bike rack is awesome! 1010 recommend. This review is for the rack itself. Although the rack is only rated for a 4.5” fat bike tire, my 4.6” tires fit. etrailer kept me informed of the progress of the shipment and I am a happy customer. I highly recommend this bike rack! 388731, The Kurt Shera bike rack is a great product. 281714, Took just a short time to put together and attach to my car and works like a dream. This rack: Lift and set, push hook, pull rear strap. Thank you etrailer! The clearance between the rear hatch and the bicycle handlebar closest point (road bike - size 54 cm) is 1 inch. 489959, Love the bike rack. 418583, Great service and product arrived in two days no extra charge Enjoy a bumper view of my Kuat Sherpa platform bicycle hitch rack. I used black plastic tape to wrap the parts of the caps that insert into the tube ends, building up just enough to require tapping the caps in, and punched a hole in the tape to insert the locking bolt. Thanks for the info. Etrailer had an extensive selection and great pricing so I could compare. Super simple to operate, even the wife can mount our bikes. It works great and is so easy to use. The screw-in threaded hitch pin is a plus, no rattle at all. Looks great on my SUV. Best prices too! I had to ream out a couple of holes with a drill bit because they weren't aligned properly. I highly recommend this carrier. Aside from that was the integra… Combined, it has to be the easiest and safest way to transport our bikes I have ever seen. You should, therefore, spend some time to examine all the options that are available to you. The quality in my opinion was second to none and I did look at just about all the major brands out there. A little heavier than I expected but needs to be to hold the bikes stable. So far, very satisfied. 609908, Gets a little creaky if you let rain fall on it (oil solves this) and it's a tight squeeze to fit it over a 29x2.4 tire but overall its painless to use and seems high quality/like it will last a long time. The shipping box was designed to facilitate assembly. Fairly easy assembly. 399276, Product was packed great. 1 key for locking the hitch and bike cord. It is a little bit heavy for me to put onto my car hitch by myself, but I can do it. Otherwise, this rack is really great, and I would highly recommend it. etrailer very prompt on shipping It seems quite sturdy. 438566, Excellent bike rack with easy operation. Tightening it more impeded the motion and it could not slide well but then was tight so I had to keep it slightly loose a bit. It damaged a wheel holder significantly and the u-shaped frame slightly. It scratched one of my cheaper bikes up and wobbles in the hitchthat was a I also love etrailer and try to but all automotive related items from them because of their excellent customer service, customer photos and videos and professional instructional videos. • Easy to load and unload. It is very sturdy and stabilizes the bikes really well. 635748, PLEASE do yourself a favor and DO NOT use any other company for your transporting equipment needs!!! I'm only 5'2" and petite so appreciate the step-through design. We had no problems but they reached out to us after our purchase to make sure we were happy and didn’t have any questions. Only disappointment is when I ordered, I didn't receive their latest model which I assumed I would. 713572, Rack is doing its job. Assisting our neighbors and customers, face to face at the counter. Thats why its heavy but still easy to install if you know what your doing. 923068, Very well made, strong, yet very light compared to other hitch mounted platform racks. Included tools we're a nice bonus Highly recommend. 763898, If I could give more than 5 stars I would. 299848, Other than a few little snafus while attempting assembly, (put bolts in on wrong end), everything went together nicely. Photo #5 shows the situation with two trail bikes mounted. Took about 2 hours reading instructions carefully and taking my time. No problem. Like the fact it is not black, but pearl white; nice on sunny 90 degree day to not burn the fingers. 903877, I put the carrier together and took a test drive with bikes in about an hour. 5++++++ star for sure 696795, It worked as stated.

Shipped quickly and etrailef provided great tracking. The rack tilts down with little effort making access to the back of our station wagon a breeze. Folding and unfolding the rack to allow openingclosing of the rear gate on the RDX is also a breeze and the fact you can tilt the rack with the bikes on it to allow access to the cargo area is just fantastic. I contacted Kuat with that comment about their instructions included with this kit. I like being able to just pick up the bike & place it on however if you really click the hook part down hard its impossible to release the mechanism. The bikes are very stable and secure. The assembly is pretty straightforward and intuitive, but the instructions could be a bit clearer on some of the issues I encountered. Well built, easy to use, decent price. It does exactly as as product says in every facet! Everthing was perfect for me so it appears that this problem has been corrected. It took about 45 minutes to assemble and it was on my truck, ready to go. Everything you are assembling to the metal rack is plastic, so over-tightening is quite possible if not careful. 500412, Just got mine...Quality product, very well made...IMO best bang for the buck...Will let you know more as I use it... Very satisfied with the product and the etrailer.com experience! Easy enough for me to install and remove by myself. 876388, Love this rack!

Folds up nicely out of the way when not in use. It is so simple, sit it in the tire slots lower the hook over the front tires. Thank you! Simple. It does the job but is a little noisy.
