Best Option to Adapt a 1-1/4" Kuat Sherpa to a 2" Hitch Receiver

Question:

I own a Kuat Sherpa 1-1/4” bike rack and I’m forced to purchase a 2” hitch for my Genesis GV70. No one makes an 1-1/4” hitch for this vehicle. So, can you recommend a 2” to 1-1/4” adapter that fits snugly in the hitch and eliminates excessive swaying of the rack?

Expert Reply:

Kuat actually makes an adapter specifically for this purpose and it will work great with your Kuat Sherpa bike rack like the # SH12G.

- Kuat Bike Rack Shank Adapter # D101

The Kuat Bike Rack Shank Adapter # D101 installs directly onto the shank of your 1-1/4" Sherpa bike rack with a couple bolts. This allows for a more stable adaption than a loose sleeve that slides into the hitch receiver.

We currently do not have any hitches confirmed to fit your 2022 Genesis GV70.
