Introducing the new HighLite premium bike rack from Yakima

    The new  Yakima HighLite Receiver Hitch Mounted Bicycle Racks offer all the features of Yakima's DoubleDown hitch racks in a new, lightweight design that fits both 2" and 1.25" receiver hitches. The HighLite's aluminum design provides you with a rugged, rust free bike rack that's quite easy to install. It utilizes Yakima's SwitchBlade anti-sway cradles for improved bike stability, an integrated LockDown security cable that locks your bikes to the rack, and a locking tongue assembly to lock the rack to your vehicle. The HighLite's TriggerFinger releases enable the bike support arms to fold down when not in use and allow the rack to tilt away from your vehicle for easy trunk/hatch access. It's available in both 2 and 3 bike models.

With such a slim profile you might think the Helium is a lightweight rack, and it does weigh about 1/3 less than a standard steel-frame bicycle rack . But don't let its good looks fool you. The Helium is every bit as tough as a steel-frame rack, and its aluminum frame can't rust!     As I'm sure you already know, looks aren't everything. The Helium wouldn't be much of a hitch rack if all it did was look good. With fully integrated locking security, Thule's premium T3 bike cradles, and the best anti-rattle hitch mechanism in its class, the Helium offers much more than just bike rack bragging rights. Thule's T3 cradles with included No-Sway Cages hold your bikes gently but firmly in place and help eliminate sway even on rough road...
