For my truck. have a Thule Helium which is similar in concept to the 1UP and Yakima Copperheads. The Helium isn’t something that I would use for off-road. That’s what the Copperheads are for but the roof rack isn’t great for highway travel nor is it easy to load. The Helium carried my touring bike quite well on a 3000 mile drive.





For our sedan we use Yakima Forkchops. Nice and small without the trays of other racks. The Copperheads would interfere with the hatch opening.



I also have a Hollywood rack that I’ve modified to carry our tandem on the back of my truck.
