Solid steel hitch rack — where Kuat quality begins
Last reviewed: April 2026
At a glance
Why this product
Where Kuat quality begins at a mid-range price — two bikes at 60 lb per-bike e-bike capacity, 120 lb total, tilt-away. Steel construction at 37 lbs keeps the price accessible. The 50-inch max wheelbase is a limitation for longer bikes. I recommend this as the entry into Kuat's lineup when budget matters more than aluminum construction. Start here, and if you decide you want the premium features, you already know the Kuat ecosystem.

The Transfer v2 delivers genuine Kuat quality at a price that does not sting. Steel construction means it is heavier than the Sherpa, but also more robust. The semi-integrated cable lock provides basic security. This is where Kuat quality begins.
First-time buyers entering the premium rack market, budget-conscious riders who still want quality
E-bike owners or those needing top-tier security — upgrade to the NV 2.0 or Piston Pro
The Transfer v2 is the best gateway drug into premium bike racks. Once you experience Kuat quality, there is no going back to budget racks.
