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

Buy this, NOW. Don’t waste your money on the expensive, name brand racks. This took me maybe 5 min to set up. I ordered rubber pads to protect my car from the metal hook, stabilizer thingys. Very sturdy and worth it! Ignore the dangling straps, I should have wrapped them before taking a pic. You will be happy with this, trust me!

Works as promised. I use it with my Mustang. It doesn’t leave any marks. Holds the bikes securely. Holds up to 70 pounds. Does not fold, but is small and easy to store. Easy to install.

one star off for minor damage to the paint on the trunk and side edges of the trunk. another star off for the fact that the straps holding the bike can come loose. to alleviate paint damage, use a barrier such as duct tape on the metal hooks. to alleviate risk of straps coming loose, I tied the tails in knots so that they could not slip through the plastic buckle. otherwise, this bike rack works well, especially for the price. lastly i will say that you should think ahead about what you need out of the trunk because it can be a hassle to remove bike repeatedly to retrieve items from the trunk. also this rack does not keep bike locked if you leave it on your car unattended. i would removed bike to lock up and put the rack in trunk to avoid theft.

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.

I'm not handy at all and even I can install/remove this in about 30 seconds. It easily holds two bikes without scratching up the back of my car. I take it off when it's not in use because it can be very easily stolen, which takes no time flat. It's great being able to take my bike around to different trails or to visit friends. Great price too.

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!

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.

I used it on my grand highlander SUV for my kids big bikes I drove a few hours it was perfect n the car even it on the box that is not for my car ... It was easy to attached to the car and easy to put the bikes on it was a easy ride and stable

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

Conforme et facile à installer

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.

Great product
