First Look: Thule Helium 2-Bike Tray Rack

We had a sneak peek of the Thule Helium back when Interbike was still a thing in 2018, but now we finally have full details on the platform rack and it’s available to purchase. The new offering from Thule is similar to 1Up USA’s system and the Saris MTR, both tray-style hitch racks that hold bikes without frame contact.

The Thule Helium Platform 2-bike is priced at $699.95 USD. It’s also available in 1-bike option for $449.95 if you don’t like your muddy friends bumming rides off you or being the designated driver.
