Yakima Highlite Hitch Rack and Skybox Lopro 15 Cargo box + Honda Accord Crosstour = Love at first sight.

Every now and then we come across a rack and car that were just made to be together. The Honda Crosstour is a combination of the speed and style you want in a Sedan/Sport Utility vehicle while giving enough space inside to be practical. Something similar can be said about the Yakima Highlite.

The Aluminum and Steel constructed Highlite was just released in the last year and weighs under 20 pounds, making it one of the lightest weight hitch mounted bike racks on the market. A nice thing about the Highlite is even though its light in weight its no lightweight, it can still carry as much weight as any similar sized rack out there. Thanks to its ant like weight and strength on a class 1 hitch you can carry 3 bikes opposed to the usual 2, Wowzers! The feathery weight of the Highlite makes it struggle-free and effortless (seriously who wants to work) to remove from the vehicle. Even your tech-dinosaur grandparents can figure this rack out, on the base of the rack there is a locking knob (shown above) which secures the rack as you tighten it, making the Highlite tool free. The Highlite comes in 2 and 3 bike models as well as a choice between white (The first and only White hitch rack, Pioneering!) and silver colors. The Highlite doesn’t even care what type of car you drive, big or small it comes ready for both 1 1/4 and 2 inch hitches making it non-biased and versatile. With a built in cable bike lock, you can sit and drink that pre-ride latte stress-free.

If you’re looking for a simple, secure and easy to use bike rack look no further then the Yakima Highlite, they considered everything making this rack, even adding two bottle openers on the arms for that after ride sparkling water drink. If you have questions about getting a hitch or about any of the bike racks we sell, drop by, email  or call us and one of our well trained Rackxperts (Rack Experts) will be happy to help.

Ride on!





Lexus RX400/ RX 400 Hybrid hitch with Thule T2 platform bike carrier

10 09 2010

At rack attack we do not only do roof rack systems for car; we also do hitches and install hitch mounted bike racks. The 2008 Lexus RX400 hybrid might quite possible have one the least hidden hitches on the market. due to the way the exhaust is set up there is no way to go around the back side of the muffler. The Thule T2 is the highest quality bike rack we carry, due to how easy it is to use aswell as how strong the body is on it. The T2 stands out from its competitors because it is so adjustable, with 19 inches of play you can fit anything from a mountain bike with 29 inch wheel to a small child’s bike with a 20 inch tire. another big perk of the Thule T2 is the fact that there is no contact points at all on the frame of the bike, the way it is held up is by the tires. this is a great rack for any bike from a down hill bike with a high-end aluminum frame to a road bike with a carbon fiber frame.  If there is anything that you would like to know about, feel free to post a message to the moderator, and it will be answered as soon as possible. If you require a more immediate resolve, then feel free to contact our store at 604-526-7225 and a Rack Attack specialist will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Alternately you may visit us in store

.  We usually recommend the Thule 917 T2 but she is on a budget so she decided on the Sportrack instead.
