Sports Deluxe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack, Model 102DN-R, Black

This worked exceptionally well. The bike held on sturdy and it didn't feel like it'll fall off. It only took about 10 minutes to set up the first time, and its actually very easy to take down and get access to your truck. I had to take it down a few times throughout the trip but its so easy that I just got quicker putting it up and down. For comparison, this is a Honda Fit with a hatchback and we drove nearly 1000 miles. There was one time where it titled aggressively because of a large bump but the straps (because I set them up the right way) held the bike and mount to the car with more than enough time for me to fix it at my next stop. I cannot recommend this enough, and my only regret is not getting this sooner for bike rides!

This is a high-quality bike rack made from excellent materials. It’s secures your bikes firmly to the rack. The rack itself anchors well against the car. It is very sturdy. although it is a four bike rack and it is not rated for E bikes I placed my 64 lb, E bike in the slot closest to the car and another bike in the next slot and had no trouble driving 50 miles at 75 miles an hour along the highway. No trouble managing the roads in the park. The car stayed well protected with no signs of any damage from the bike rack.The bike rack stayed secure no issues in general. It’s always best to follow the manufacturers recommendations. But since I only had two bikes on the four bike rack I was carrying much less weight than what it was rated for if it had four bikes. And the weight was kept on the rack closest to the car.The design Once you fit it to the car makes it very easy to place and remove. The bike racks six support attachments to your vehicle makes it very secure. I placed it on a 2016 Subaru outback it worked fabulously well. Care was taken in designing this bike rack to help prevent any damage to the car.In short it is high-quality very stable. You’ll be happy with the purchase. Just buy it.

This is a very well-built bike rack and I'm going to use it for a 6 hour road trip with 3 bikes. I tested it with a short trip to a local trail with two bikes and it performed well. Set-up was fairly easy. I just followed the directions and it was pretty simple to attach to my Honda CRV. Some reviewers complained about the metal hooks, but I found that they had a smooth coating on them that should keep you from scratching up your car in any way. Just be somewhat careful when attaching. Traveling to the trail I noticed a bit of a "squeaky" noise coming from the rack. I believe that may have been caused by the soft rack support "bumper" rubbing on the rear car window. A slight repositioning of the bikes for the return trip seemed to make this go away. I noticed no shifting or problems with the rack once we got to the trail. The bikes were still securely attached and I had even made some quick starts and stops and a few hard turns, but the bikes were solid. The only thing I don't like is the fasteners that hold the bikes onto the rack. Other racks I've used have a rubber "latch" that is quick and easy to lock the bike onto the rack. These holders require you to thread the strap through and back to attach the bike. It's not terrible, but kind of a pain to do something that used to take seconds and now takes minutes. Oh well. It's not a terrible drawback, but I knocked off one star for that design deficiency. Removal of the rack was quite easy. For each strap, simply lifting the latch on each strap seems to loosen it sufficiently to remove the hook from the car. The unit doesn't take up much space when removed from your car, so that's a big plus too. Overall this is a great value for the price. I recommend this rack for all your biking needs.

This rack is all you need! It’s affordable, compact, and so easy to install. I honestly cannot recommend it enough. I finally own a bike thanks to this rack! My car doesn’t have a hatchback, so I kept hesitating to buy a bike because I wasn’t sure how I would transport it. This rack completely solved that problem, and I’m so happy with it! I can even open my trunk with the rack still attached. Definitely one of my best purchases!

So far so good. Easy to install on a 2009 mercury grand marquis so it even fits older models. Very tight. I've never had a bike rack so I was really nervous driving the first time. But it held up great. Nothing lossened at all. Legit

The first installation is easily the most frustrating part. When I first opened the box. I was very nervous that I was going to need a Boy Scout to help me attach it to my car. I settled for my roommate. It looks complicated when you first attempt to figure where every one of the flopping tentacle-like straps go. Then you press the rack's padded bars against your car and strap the hooks onto your trunk or hatchback. The product description brags about how initial assembly shouldn't take more than a few seconds, which isn't especially flattering to my skills. The first assembly is easily the most frustrating part. Took me about five minutes to discover exactly what goes where and how. Only about a minute of that time was spent crying and ruing existence. The second time you put it on takes about thirty seconds. Your straps are already at about the right length and your muscle memory will compensate for your general inability to attach things. Putting bicycles on there is pretty easy. Lift them up and into the little cradles. Then those are a simple strap on each side and it holds it secure. Repeat these steps for however many bicycles you plan to attach (which really maxes out at three total). I would recommend buying bungee cables to secure your front tire so that the handlebar stays stationary. Pros: 1. I am terribly uncoordinated at these types of things. And I have managed to get my assembly time down to about 29 seconds. If I can make this thing stay on my car, then your dog probably could too. 2. It's super compact. When I'm not using it. It fits really well inside my trunk. 3. The price. I was initially going to buy a much more expensive one, but I decided to give this one a chance. It has worked tremendously for my needs. 4. It holds very securely on the back of my Chevy Cobalt. I never have to worry about it. Cons: 1. The instructions are not very intuitive or helpful. It ends up being more guesswork than I'm sure they intended. 2. It looks very daunting at first. But once you attach it once. It's never difficult again.

The Allen Sports trunk mount bike rack for two bikes is a decent option if you’re looking for something affordable and easy to use. Installation is fairly straightforward, and it holds the bikes securely for short trips. The rack is lightweight and easy to store when not in use. That said, there are a few downsides. The straps require careful adjustment, and you need to double-check them before every drive to make sure everything stays tight. It also lacks padding in some areas, so extra care is needed to avoid scratches on the car or bikes. For longer trips or highways, it doesn’t feel as stable as higher-end racks. Overall, it works well for occasional use and short distances, but if you plan to transport bikes frequently or on long trips, you may want to invest in a more robust option. Good value for the price, but with some limitations.

1-year update: So far, so good! Still using this bike rack, no complaints. Original review: Ok, I don't usually write reviews, but I had to review this one. I was really worried about buying a bike rack for my transcontinental trip (7,000 miles coast-to-coast and many places in-between). I had nightmares of my bike falling off my car on the highway. But I took a chance and got this modestly-priced bike rack over a well-known, expensive brand like Thule, because I don't have that kind of money. I AM SO HAPPY. Not only was my bike rock-solid secure on the rack (with the help of locks and bungee cords, of course), and the rack extremely secure on my car (straps didn't budge an inch while in motion), but this bike rack can take anything. I drove up Pike's Peak in Colorado (14,000+ mountain), across the rain-soaked plains, over the Rocky Mountains, in crazy hot temperatures, in cool temperatures, in dry and wet climates, at all levels of incline, at 90 MPH on Utah highways, on bumpy, crazy park roads, and more. I'm just so glad that my bike was safe. The rack itself is very easy to mount, and you can technically still open your truck when it's mounted (although it'll be awkwardly heavy). Takes less than a minute to get it on the car, and about ten seconds to get it off. The ONLY issue I could have with this rack is that the pads that protect your car from the metal rack showed some serious wear after what I put them through (which is understandable). It's possible some of it even rubbed/melted onto my car. There's a mark on my car that looks like what happens if you rubbed a big rubber eraser on it. Now, I haven't thoroughly washed my car since the trip, and I'm 99% sure that this mark will come up no problem. If it doesn't, I'll come back and bump this review to 2 stars (edit: the mark came off). Otherwise, I'm extremely pleasantly surprised. Usually you get what you pay for, but this bike rack is a steal at just under $35. I can't believe it survived my road trip. Plus, I just used it yesterday and this morning for an overnight trip. So easy, so good.

I can get 2 adult bikes on the rack easy enough, after figuring out how to take it on and off. The instructions are not easy to follow, and since I know everyone complains that cheap car bike racks suck, I wanted to make sure I put them on right. I drive a 2007 Toyota Camry, and it indeed works well on it. I have to install it with the "alternative" instructions, which involve not using my bumper (as it is just a boat load of plastic around the actual metal bumper underneath) and I secured it to the bottom of my trunk. It feels secure enough, used it about 10 times now, a few times with 1 bike, some with 2 bikes. I feel with multiple bikes it feels a bit more stable if that makes sense to anyone. Also just be careful with how to secure the straps. Just play with them until they feel secure. The metal bits that secure to the trunk are nice enough, but they are just painted metal, my car has some fairly soft paint (as most Japanese cars do) so I decided to put some electrical tape around the hooks. I also drive an old beat up car, but you never want to actually chip off paint, which the hooks will do if your not careful, or you tighten it a bit too much on one side, or basically do anything but perfectly put it on or off the car. I completely understand why so many people just drive with the bike racks attached to their car all summer long. I still take mine on and off between uses however, minimal scratches so far, but i did see some before the tape. Look we are all buying this one because it's the cheapest any of us can find without buying something 2nd hand, which I am not against, but it's 2020/2021, bike stuff is just sold out or not actually that cheap. Also the bikes I'm using this for, a mid 2000s men's Supercycle - Canadian Tire bike in a 26" wheel, a Decathlon "Triban Regular Women's Road Bike" from 2021 in small and a Men's TRIBAN - RC100 in Large from 2020. All fit fine.

Easy to install, feels really sturdy and secure and stays that way while travelling.

Tenía dudas si la primera bici (mtb 26") pegaría del para choques, maletero, pero no lo hace queda a una distancia prudente. En las imágenes 1 Talla M rin 26, 1 L rin 29 y una XXL rin 29. Se ajusta perfecto al maletero de mi Mazda 6, fácil de tensar. Solo no me gustó no trae una protección de goma el las L metálicas con las que se ajusta al auto (las fabricaré cortando una vieja cámara de bicicleta). Me falta probar rodando, no luce que pueda tomar curvas fuertes a alta velocidad sinnriesgo de perder las bicis, pero no lo puedo asegurar, aun no tomo carretera. Retroceder es dificil ya que en los espejos no se logra ver y menos en la cámara de reversa, pero si van tres bicis llevas copilotos que te pueden apoyar. No olvides guardar en el maletero lo que llevarás antes o deberás hacerlo por los respaldos de los asientos. Revisaré la opinón luego de viajar.

Excelente, se siente robusto y se sujeta firmemente... estoy contento con la compra.

It works fine with 4 bikes. I usually put 2 adult bikes along with 2 children's bicycles. No issues, other than it is a tight fit. Mind you, if you take your time, you'll get the bikes to fit. You'll have to make some adjustments with pedals etc. Once the bikes are on, give the straps one last tug. As an added security measure, I lock the last two bikes together in the highly unlikely situation of the last bike falling off. I purchased this 2 years ago, and would recommend it. We have two vehicles, and have used this rack on a sedan and an SUV.
