Thule Helium Hitch 2 Bike Rack

The Thule Helium Hitch 2 Bike Rack is ultra-light and installs quickly and easily. Constructed of aluminum, this 2 bike rack is nearly half the weight of a traditional carrier. It installs easily with no tools - simply load the rack into a hitch and tighten the receiver knob. A hitch adapter is included to accommodate both 1 1/4" and 2" receivers. This Thule bike rack can hold a wide range of bike frames, including children's frames, with its narrow cradle arms. Your bikes stay securely in place with the T3™ Cradles and No-Sway™ Cage. The Thule Helium 2 Bike Rack includes an integrated locking cable and a receiver lock to secure your bikes. When not in use, the arms fold down and the carrier can tilt away from the vehicle, providing access to the truck or tailgate. The Thule Helium includes a limited lifetime warranty.
