The Thule Helium XT 2 is a hitch-mounted platform rack that carries up to two bikes, with a 45 lb per-bike limit. It is built around a lightweight aluminum frame, so it is easier to lift onto the hitch and take off than steel platform racks. Bikes sit on wheel trays and are held by frame or wheel arms, which suits road, gravel and hybrid bikes well. Against heavier two-bike platform racks it trades some heft for easier handling, and owners like the quick install and stable ride.
