Ultra-lightweight aluminum platform rack at just 32 pounds
Last reviewed: April 2026
Sherpa 2.0 for 1.25" hitch receivers, 32 lbs.
At a glance
Why this product
At 35 lbs this is one of the lightest two-bike platform racks you can find, specifically designed for 1.25-inch hitches on smaller vehicles. Integrated locks for both bikes and the hitch, tilt-away for trunk access, and carbon-frame-safe. The 40 lb per-bike limit means standard bikes only β not e-bikes β so match the rack to your actual use case. I recommend this to sedan and small SUV owners who want premium quality without the weight penalty of bigger racks.
