About Allen Sports
Richard Allen (pictured left in 1972) started Allen Sports in his garage in 1967. Since its founding, the company has been committed to producing the highest-quality, easiest-to-use bike racks and bicycle-related products on the market. Richard, a one-time aerospace engineer, opened Allen Sports after building a prototype bike carrier in his Lincoln, Massachusetts shop in his free time. The first ever trunk-mounted bicycle carrier--made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding)-- was thoroughly tested on weekend excursions to Cape Cod. Shortly afterward, Allen took his design to market, and by 1971 had established a national presence for his product.
Today, the family-owned company holds dozens of patents, and manages a design, manufacturing, distribution, and sales operation in regions around the world including the USA, Canada, China, Europe, UK, the Middle East, and Central and South America.
Product Description

Customers have mixed opinions about the fit of the transport rack.

The adjustable arms fit various bike sizes, and the straps hold the bikes in place quite well. It is sturdy and easy to use and holds 2 bikes comfortably, while other customers say that three bikes were a close fit.

1. Check the Allen Sports website to see if it will fit your particular vehicle. DO NOT take it at face value when reviewers on here say it DOES or DOES NOT fit a certain vehicle. They may not know how to install it, or they may be installing it incorrectly (i.e. unsafely) in order to ‘make’ it work.
2. The instructions for mounting the rack are fairly good but you really have to read them closely - ESPECIALLY when it comes to the bottom hook. The top and side hooks are fairly logical and self-explanatory… although make sure you use the correct hooks for top and side. The top hooks are bigger/wider than the side hooks, and the side hooks are also labeled.
3. KEY for certain vehicles - this is the issue that ALMOST made me think that this wouldn’t work for me (even though Allen Sports said it would). The bottom hook has several ways to be utilized, depending on your vehicle. The main issue is whether you have something metal to clip the hook to. Today many bumpers, and even the bottom of cargo doors are a hardened plastic, OR they have no ‘lip’ over which to clip the hook. This was the case for me… and even though I read the alternate ways to solidly connect the bottom hook, it wasn’t apparent to me at first. Ultimately, you don’t really connect that bottom hook TO anything, but instead open the trunk/cargo door slightly and put the hook inside and close the trunk/cargo door back, which secures the hook inside the vehicle and you just tighten the strap.
4. Depending on your car, and on your risk tolerance, you may want to consider using electrical tape around the hooks (some or all, depending on your vehicle) to help cushion and protect any paint. Since my vehicle is a 2013 it wasn’t an issue I was particularly concerned with but I did go ahead and opt to do it - figured it was easy to do and certainly wouldn’t hurt anything by doing it.
5. Definitely do something to secure the tires, to keep them from spinning, and inthe case of the front tire, to keep it from swiveling and hitting the vehicle. You can use the excess on the tie down straps, or just use a bungee cord.
The rack works perfectly on my Honda CRV and is actually even more steady/firm than I was expecting. Overall I could not be more pleased and am ready to hit the road!
Assembly is easy except for the two spring arms that need to be inserted to lock the carrier into its shape. The weight of the carrier is fairly light so you can easily carry it and attach it to your car trunk.
It fit my 20 year old classic sports car no problem as you can see in picture.
I took several precautions so not to scratch my paint. The carrier uses painted metal clips as attachment to lips of the trunk or door lip. My wife sewed little felt pockets to cocer those clips. I also used a felt cloth under the foam rubber that covers one of the bars to keep it from rubbing the paint from road vibration justvad a precaution to protect the origional paint.
Two sttaps hold the bike in posiz bx the top bar. This works perfectly for classic style bikes where the bar is horizontal. Two straps lock it into place. To keep the front wheel from moving and steerer from turning, xou have to provide xour own strap to prevent that. I just used the ends of the supplied straos and made a knot. The pedals could touch the bumper if the rear wheel turns so you need to secure those also as no strap is provided for that. since the bike is held is held at the top only it will sway back and forth so it is important that the pedals are secured.
All in all I am pleased how well it works and how compact it is for storage. I have used it several times already and have no marks on bike or car paint.
I took vonr star off for the metal clips not being coated with something to protect the paint.

Setting these up can be tricky. With a little ingenuity it is possible to avoid scratching your car, but otherwise I think that is a risk. I hammered some of the clips to make them a little more snug around the sheet metal on my trunk it attaches to, and then lined the spot with plastic soda bottle strips. This also avoided the clips pressing against the corner of my rear window glass, which I think would have been risky. Just hammering the two rear clips against flat pavement slowly snugs up this connection and avoided any problem.
It handled two bikes on the highway admirably, but I wouldn't take it on a cross-country trip without any worries. I think it is possible to buy a more sturdy unit but it will cost a higher price. It is adequate, though, and doesn't seem to move around too much back there.
Setting it up takes a while--set aside the time. After that, it can be done in a few minutes. Then next year you will forget and it will take a little more time once or twice. :)
Figuring out how to attach two bikes can be tricky, but this is probably similar for every rack similarly built, and similarly priced. Overall it allowed me to take bikes out to trails, so it was a good buy for me.
For reference, I have a Jeep Patriot. It is advertised to work on smaller cars, and it also worked well for mine. Very easy installation process. It can hold up to two bikes. I have a Cruiser bike, but with the flexibility this provides, we were able to fit it on well. I don’t think two Cruiser bikes would fit. Just two mountain bikes.
Doesn’t scratch my car. It did scratch the bike a little bit when not secured right, but I think that is to be expected. Overall I highly recommend.
