Thanks in advance!
Any recommendations on Yakima platform bike carriers that don't contact the frame (I have carbon bike frame) and is also lockable at the hitch and locks down the bike as well?

The normal 4-bike rack of similar design is often had for $100-$110 frequently - https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Spor...0792V7HB
I get it if you need for a 5th bike, but is the extra bike capacity worth nearly triple the price?

Yakima as with Thule is considered a high-end bike rack. They are much heavier and sturdier than the value brands like Allen. Yakima's are normally a one piece construction and don't need to be put together. You can just slide it on to the hitch from the box.They also come with a built in lock where you can secure your bike onto the hitch. Allen does have a lock to prevent the hitch from being stolen, but the bikes are vulnerable. There are also more straps per bike on the Yakima to help prevent the bikes moving while being transported. You can find Yakima in many reputable bike shops. There is a premium price on it and only you can make that decision if it's worth the extra price. It's like bikes: some cost $50 and some cost $10K. they both do the same thing...how they do it is what sets it apart.

Another feature the Yakima has that the Allen doesn't is that it has an integrated bike lock that locks the bikes to the rack.
Edit: I thought this one was the Full Swing model. Removed mention of the swing out arm.
