The Thule 903901 Helium Platform XT 1 Bike is a premium, aluminum, platform-style bike rack that is fully lockable, easy to use, and holds bikes without frame contact. The Helium Platform XT is designed to be one of the lightest weight platform style bike racks on the market. This makes it easy for anyone to install the bike rack onto your hitch, load up your bikes and hit the trails.
Once your Helium Platform XT bike rack is set up its quick to install and remove the rack. This is done by simply sliding the bike rack it into your hitch receiver which and then turning the dial on the locking auto-attach system until it's tight. The Helium Platform will fit into both a 2" hitch and 1.25" hitch.
If you have expensive bikes, especially carbon frames, you don't want to be clamping onto the frame or hanging your bikes by the top tube. The Helium Platform XT attaches onto your bike by setting your tires into the wheel holders and then ratcheting the wheel loops onto your tires. This provides a secure hold onto each tire without needing to attach anything onto the frame of your bikes.
Locking your bikes onto the Helium Platform is easy with the integrated cable locks that pull out from the arms, you can then loop these through the frame of your bikes to secure the bike onto the rack. To lock the rack onto your vehicle you simply tighten the auto-attach mechanism and then lock the handle. This prevents someone from being able to loosen the rack off your hitch. In the locked position the dial will just free spin, meaning someone can sit there and spin it all day and they aren't going to be able to remove your bike rack.
