It’s not Küat’s top-end rack, but the Sherpa 2.0 does everything we’ve asked of it and it looks good doing it. Smart design is prevalent everywhere in this low-profile hitch rack. One of our favorite features is the foot-assisted pivot system, which lets you drop the rack into place while your hands are occupied. And folding wheelcradles contribute to a clean aesthetic. Perhaps the best part about this lightweight, 32-pound aluminum rack is installation. Just slide it into your hitch, lock it to the hitch and crank the knob until it’s hand tight—no tools necessary. With capacity for two bikes of up to 40 pounds each, wheelbases up to 47 inches and wheels as wide as 3 inches, it’s ready for just about any adventure. Available in gray/orange anodize, black metallic/ gray anodize and pearl metallic/silver anodize as well as 2-inch and 1.25-inch hitch sizes. $498; 32lbs; kuatracks.com
