Question:
What is the bike weight capacity of this rack?
asked by: Rebecca
Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at Thule. The weight capacity of the Thule Helium Aluminum 2 Bike Carrier, # TH970 or # TH970XT, is 70 pounds (no one bike can weigh more than 35 pounds). I have included a video of part # TH970XT.
You might also be interested in the Alternative Frame Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, for bikes that do not have a top frame bar that is parallel with the ground. I have included a link to a video review of this adapter as well.
