Description

Premium Platform Bike Transport

The new Thule Helium Platform XT Hitch Rack provides space for up to two bikes offering a wide range of compatibility with just about any bike style with no frame contact.

Bikes quickly and easily attach to the rack using Thule's ratcheting wheel loop system. Lightweight aluminum construction makes the Helium Platform XT a snap to use, install and remove. The Platform XT's arms conveniently fold down to create a low profile when not in use. Thule's HitchSwitch tilt lever provides access to the rear of the vehicle, allowing the rack to tilt down even fully loaded.

    Great Rack, not the best assembly instructions

    This is an excellent rack that is light enough for my wife to remove from the Jeep if necessary. Bikes load and unload easily and are held securely without any paint being touched. As others have said, the instructions are lacking. Thule uses the IKEA model of no words, just drawings and symbols. Humans long ago developed a spoken and written language for a reason. It works! Translations can't be that expensive. I still give the rack 5 stars.
