The arms "snap" into place right out of the box. Allen's new dual-compound cradle system securely holds your bicycles in place and the rack's large padded spine shield protects your bicycles as well. In addition to the easy folding arms on this rack, the new innovative internal tilt-away release makes it a snap to access your vehicle's rear lift gate. The powder-coated rack installs in just minutes with a no-wobble bolt and an integrated locking loop offers a place to secure your bikes. Review: Für Europa unbrauchbar, da der große Träger nur auf US-Anhängerkupplungssysteme passt. Eine Adaptierung ist (ausschließlich) bei Trägern bis zwei Fahrrädern möglich. Review: Excellent product and well built. I mounted mine on a 2005 Honda Pilot and found the tilting mechanism to be both easy to operate and clears the opening of the hatch just fine. See pictures. I have a few observations to make, having read the reviews prior to purchase: 1. The rack does NOT fit toddler bikes. Our family currently has two adult bikes, one bike for an eight year old, and two bikes for twin five year olds. When mounting the bikes on this new rack, I discovered that the smaller twins' bikes would not fit at all. The good news is that they still fit inside the car and eventually will need bigger bikes that will mount on this carrier. 2. There is NO problem with black powder or residue rubbing off on your hands from the straps. I saw this complaint in several reviews, and perhaps this was an old design issue, but with the product I just received I had no such problems. 3. The rack has a structured loop for attaching a cable lock or other security solution. In a few of the reviews, customers seemed to have wisely made the suggestion that there should be some way of "locking" the bikes to the mounting rack, and I was pleased to see that mine arrived with the ability to do this. Conversely, the rack is only secured to the hitch only with a nut and bolt and my hitch lock does not fit the pre-drilled holes in the rack. So, I either need to buy another hitch lock or drill-out a larger diameter hole. In the end, with the bikes secured with cable locks and a U-lock, chances are the nut-and-bolt solution will be enough of a deterrent. So, I will likely just rely on the nut-and-bolt that came with the product, since the bolt was machined with a "shoulder" to best secure the mounting post to the hitch. Mounting the bikes does take some trial-and-error. Finding the right configuration is a bit of a puzzle, but not too daunting with some planning. All in all, this is a good product, functions as intended, and appears to be well-built. I will update if there are any issues, once I travel with this new mounting system. ## Features - Hitch insert fit's 2inch receiver hitches - Quick set carry arms "snap" into place right out of the box - Dual compound tie down cradles & quick set straps individually secure and protect bicycles - Internal tilt away release allows for easy lift gate access - No wobble bolt(s) eliminates movement of rack inside of hitch ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ASSOHYO | | Best Sellers Rank | #53,629 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #42 in Automobile Sports Racks & Carriers #105 in Automotive Roof Racks & Boxes | | Brand | Allen | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (554) | | Date First Available | 1 January 2024 | | Item Weight | 12.6 Kilograms | | Item model number | S-555 | | Manufacturer | R.

The bikes are easy to load on the rack and the fact that it hinges forward to allow you to access the boot is great. ## Frequently Bought Together - Allen Sports Premier Hitch Mounted 5-Bike Carrier, Model S555 , Black - Steel Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adaptor, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/255471709-allen-sports-premier-hitch-mounted-5-bike-carrier-model-s555](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/255471709-allen-sports-premier-hitch-mounted-5-bike-carrier-model-s555) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
