Will it fit my 1.25-inch hitch?

Yes, the 1.25-inch version fits 1.25-inch receivers and carries the same two bikes at 40 lbs each. It weighs about 35 lbs, a little more than the 2-inch version.

Does it fit fat bikes or long-wheelbase bikes?

It takes tires up to 3 inches wide and wheelbases up to 47 inches. True fat bikes with 4-inch or wider tires need a different rack or adapters.

Can I open my trunk with bikes loaded?

Yes. The pivot lever tilts the loaded rack down for hatch or trunk access. The foot assist helps when your hands are full.

Is the rack locked to the car?

Yes. A keyed hitch lock secures the rack to the receiver, and the semi-integrated bike lock uses the same key.

How does it compare with the Kuat Transfer?

The Sherpa 2.0 is lighter, tilts with bikes loaded and folds flatter. The Transfer is a simpler, heavier tray rack with fewer features.

Do I need tools to install it?

No. It installs with a tool-free hitch pin, and the arms and cradles fold without tools.
