Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack

The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack is a light and easy to use bike rack that utilizes space efficiently and stores well when not on a car. The sleek design looks good while being easy to load and take off and on the car. While the rack holds bikes securely and easily, the lightweight design lacks durability in the long term, especially when put on cars where it falls next to the exhaust pipe and can get melted. This rack is not suitable for fat bikes.

Yakima Frontloader Bike Mount

The Yakima Frontloader Bike Mount does not require the bike’s front wheel to be removed and is very easy to install, making it exceedingly convenient. While this rack is beloved by many, there are concerns about durability, including the front tightening knob breaking after some use, rusting, and broken straps, with some of these problems leading to lost bikes off of cars. Despite this, many continue to prefer this bike rack because of its ease in loading for shorter cars, although it is not suitable for fat bikes, and has a lot of wind noise.
