About Allen Bike Racks Started out of founder Dick Allen's garage in 1967, Allen Sports is committed to producing the highest-quality, easiest-to-use bike, parking, and storage racks on the market. Dick Allen, a onetime aerospace engineer, opened Allen Sports after building a prototype bike carrier in his Lincoln, Massachusetts, shop in his free time. The bike enthusiast tested the trunk-mounted carrier--made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding)--on weekend excursions. Shortly afterward, Allen took his design to consumers, moving from local to national sales by 1971. Today, the company owns more than three dozen patents and operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and sells products in more than a dozen countries around the world.

I was honestly hesitant about buying this bike rack, particularly given the comparatively low price tag. But I couldn't justify spending hundreds on something I only needed a few times a year, especially for a bike that's old enough to vote. Since I drive a Prius hatchback, I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to find an affordable option that would work with my car – until I found this little gem!PROS:- STORAGE BAG: I love the fact that it comes with a storage bag, to keep it compact and organized when not in use. Without the bag, it would be more challenging to store and transport, particularly with all the straps involved.- EASY TO ASSEMBLE: The instructions are remarkably clear and comprehensible, with options for multiple body types. It took a little bit of study the first time to get it assembled and attached to the car (mainly because I was paranoid about doing it wrong), but from then on, it's a piece of cake.- SURPRISINGLY STURDY: I was wary about the stability of any folding/collapsible model, but when it's snapped into place and strapped to the car, it doesn't budge!– UP TO 2 BIKES: There's room for 2 bikes on this rack, although I've only used it for 1 so far. But I like that I have the option for a second bike.CONS: I only have 2 minor quibbles, but they're not big deals to me, particularly as the rack is so high quality yet affordable otherwise:- STRAP FRICTION: This one is kind of unique to the design of my car than to the bike rack, but worth considering. The straps are your standard heavy-duty ribbed design, which makes them super strong, but it also means that the straps could damage the finish on your car if they're allowed to rest against the body at any points of tension/friction. The design of my car necessitates that they rest at the point where the hatch bends from a gentle slope to being perpendicular with the road, so to avoid wear or friction damage at that point, I simply wrapped that portion of the straps with electrical tape, which seems to have worked great.- NOT AS STRAIGHTFORWARD FOR SLOPING CROSSBARS: If you're transporting a male bicycle with a [nearly] horizontal crossbar, you won't have any issues. But if you have a female bike or one with a heavily sloped crossbar, you're going to have to get creative to keep it from riding too high on the rack to be stable/secure or so low so that one side drags along the ground. There are adaptors you can buy separately to accommodate for this, although I haven't tried any of them personally.CONCLUSION: Well worth the price, and I've actually gotten a lot more use out of it than I'd initially anticipated. Highly recommended!

MINI COOPER DRIVERS, don't let anyone tell you you can't have a bike rack on your Mini, or that you need a specially-installed rack from a fancy store or the dealership.I have been using this bike rack on my Mini Cooper S since 2021 and it is phenomenal. The pressure of the bike pushes against the bottom leg of the rack/license plate area, so there is very little to no pressure placed on the window.The 2 top straps fit perfectly over the hood of the trunk. The side straps fit perfectly to the sides of the trunk, and the bottom strap folds around inside and fits into a little pocket on the inside of the trunk door (it's there I promise).I have had a mountain bike and a cruiser bike, both pretty hefty, on this rack for nearly 4 years and it works phenomenally well.

Like many other commenters, my purchase was to fill an immediate need without spending tons of money on a product, sight unseen. The positive reviews convinced me to give it a try.Agree with the compact convenience - not having to store a large, weirdly shaped rack is a benefit. Installation is also relatively easy.At first sight (in the pics) I knew there was no way I would use bare metal clips on my paint job, so I bought silicone pads to put in the clips. IMO, the product would be greatly enhanced if the clips were already rubber/silicone-lined. I also put silicone pads under the rubber parts that go on the window and (for me) on the license plate. Just not looking to scratch the car, y'know? The bottom clip assumes a solid edge at the bottom of the bumper to hook onto. Since my bumper is essentially plastic, I had to pull the clip behind the bumper onto the actual frame.I got the two-bike rack, and although there are grooves for each bike in the frame, they're so close together I honestly can't see how two bikes would actually fit. But I just need the rack for one bike, with a contingency of maybe going riding with someone. The straps that hold the bike in place are strong and sturdy. But the bike is then left dangling, potentially (probably) to slam into the car at every bump. So I used ties to fasten the frame of the bike to the lower portion of the rack, and used padding (ok, old socks) on the bike pedal next to the car.With these tweaks, it all worked out. But it would be good for Allen to consider:- adding lining to the inside of the metal clips- adding something on the frame to stabilize the bikes so they don't swing freely.You get what you pay for, and I'd be willing to pay more for a rack with the above suggestions included.

The product is good. But it didn’t work for me. I wanted it for my Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012. I asked this question before buying and was informed it will work. But no. It’s doesn’t work. It shows in the box it won’t work.Why don’t put that pic on the box here. Anyways I have to admit that the product is good and very easy to install and remove.

could not fit 2 mountain bikes, perhaps if the wheels and pedals were removed it might fit, ended up too much trouble, i used it just for 1 bike.

Yo nunca habÃa usado algo asÃ... Y la verdad que ha sido increÃble lo bien que se ajusta.Mi vehÃculo es un Nissan Qashqai N-connecta (2020) se adapta perfectamenteLo he probado en un viaje de 730km asique no hanlo por hablar.Vi los comentarios pero decidà arriesgarme, enserio, a 150 no se mueve un milÃmetro.Viene para dos bicicletas, cuando lo pruebe comprobaré, pero me parece que si las podrá llevar bien.Espero poder ayudar a lo que no tenéis idea como yo, porque se monta con intuición en 2 minutos y va de escándalo.
