The Sherpa V3 is Kuat’s next evolution of lightweight bike transportation: purpose-built for road, cross country, and gravel riders who value elegant design, easy usability, and premium construction.
Crafted from lightweight aluminum and available in both 1.25” and 2” hitch sizes, the Sherpa V3 delivers a refined carrying experience without unnecessary bulk. Designed around modern road, cross-country, gravel, and compatible e-bikes, the Sherpa V3 supports bikes up to 50 lbs per bike, while an increased maximum wheelbase of 50” expands compatibility across a wider range of bikes, all while maintaining the sleek, minimalist profile riders have come to expect from the Sherpa.
New for V3 is an updated hand- and foot-operated pivot system with lock-out functionality, designed to help keep the rack securely in position during both stow and transit. The updated all-metal front tire hook improves durability and secure bike fit.
Expanding the Sherpa lineup for more riders and vehicle setups, the Sherpa V3 is now available in a modular single-bike configuration in Sandy Black, giving solo riders a lighter, more compact option with the flexibility to add a second bike tray when needed.
Available in four premium colors - Sandy Black, Pearl, Gray, and the all-new Champagne finish - the Sherpa V3 blends well with today’s adventure vehicles and elevated cycling styling.
From local group rides and weekend gravel escapes to cross-country adventures, the Sherpa V3 makes transporting your bike feel like a natural part of the journey.
