Our Patented Glide Away Bike Carrier not only Glides Away from your vehicle but also pivots from side to side (Left or Right) to allow easy access while loading or unloading the cargo area. For vehicles with Swing-Away Rear Mounted Spare Tires, it provides clearance to swing your tire out of the way. The saddles hold bikes securely and protect the bike's finish and are adjustable and swivel to accept women's, BMX and geometric bike frames. A lockable security cable is included to prevent theft of your bikes (you may use any type of padlock). Also included is an Anti-Wobble device that eliminates play in the receiver tube with a bolt that holds the Bike Carrier in your receiver hitch. Detente cinchpins allow quick and easy removal of the bike carrier's arms and allow easy attachment of the optional accessories. Plus, when not transporting bikes, you may remove the arms so they will be out of the way. Fits all 2" Receiver Hitches.

 "Good, but problems with Jeep Wrangler" 2009-04-26
By jlloyd50 (Wyoming)
I bought this for my 2009 Jeep Wrangler and with the standard size spare tire on the trunk can only be opened about 6 inches because the thing doesn't drop low enough, but aside from that the thing's great, very sturdy and seems like it will hold up all right.

 "The rack saved my rear end!" 2009-10-24
By Dori M. Keast (Folsom, CA USA)
My van was rear ended a couple of weeks ago. The bike rack took the hit; it was damaged but saved the van's bumper. Customer service at Allen has been outstanding. Replacement parts shipped quickly and efficiently and at no charge! I have been very happy with this rack.

 "Sturdy" 2009-10-17
By A. Clarke (USA)
This hitch is HEAVY but well made - sticks out a bit more that other hitches I guess to accommodate a wide range of SUV's but people will be looking at you saying damn that hitch is just sticking out a bit too much especially the drivers behind you. Does the job and its a great sturdy and well made product.

 "Stripped Bolt" 2009-06-29
By Ab Charbonneau (Florida, USA)
I purchased this item and I really do love it except for the fact that tbe bolt/screw with the large gray handle (to lock bike rack when driving) has stripped after just 2 months of use and now i'm in the process of dealing w/ Thule and the manufacturer to get this replaced... This just happened this weekend so we'll see how long it takes!

 "Good buy for the money" 2009-01-06
By M. Rutledge
The good: This rack works exactly as advertised. It's all steel and will certainly last many years. The price is the most attractive feature. This is a fraction the cost of the popular name units and performs just as well.



The bad: The thing is heavy. Really heavy. Don't forget to regularly check the tightness of nuts and bolts. A few more lock washers or nylock nuts might be a nice addition. The hitch piece needs to be a couple inches longer to clear the spare tire of a land rover discovery. (Or buy a small hitch extender.) It fits my pickup fine.



The ugly: Some of the welds look a little rough. Nothing that would compromise the ability to carry a few bikes, but it's certainly not perfect. The powder coat finish isn't the most durable. After a couple summers riding on the back of the wifes land rover it looks a bit faded and scratched.



For the price, I would certainly buy it again if I ever need to replace it.

 "Very good - do not waste time shopping" 2009-07-15
By Antonio R. Durando (Tucson, AZ)
Only comment: they should add holes in the hitch-mount piece so that it could be adjusted as close as possible to the vehicle (given the space available) .

 "bike rack" 2009-02-12
By everybodysdoll (Chicago, Illinois, USA)
Haven't found a better buy. Best bike rack around. Works for the car, van, trailer, or camper. Amazon was very helpful, and we got free shipping. Great buy.

 "Just the ticket!" 2008-12-22
By Thomas J. Waclawik (Christiana, TN USA)
This bike rack is just the ticket for me. When mounted on my truck I am still able to raise and lower my tailgate without removing. Just what I was looking for at a great price.

 "Sturdy bike carrier, but not quite as stable as one might like" 2008-11-28
By Charles Gounaud (Dallas, TX USA)
We bought this 4 bike carrier to use on our Jeep Wrangler (which, of course, has a rear-mounted spare tire).



Overall the rack is very good. The J-shaped mounting bar has ample automobile clearance - even from large off road spare tires. In my opinion, though, the large horizontal and vertical distance from the rear of the vehicle to the bikes on the rack creates a bit more on-road sway than is necessary.



As a work-around, I secure a nylon strap (left over from an old weed trimmer) between the spare tire and the rack to eliminate in-motion sway.



Again, a very good value for the price - just one small issue that is relatively easy to remedy.

 "Rubber is cheap and breaks down" 2008-07-07
By J. Phoenix
The contstruction and ease of use is very good with a pickup truck. Loved it for the first few years. However, the rubber material that the tube frame of the bike actually rests on does not hold up. I've had mine for a few years but really haven't used it that much and the rubber loops where the straps go through are all coming off. This will eventually lead to the inability to secure the bikes.

 "Bike Rack" 2009-07-08
By Robert P. Hiemenz
First Bike Rack that I have purchase and it is great. I especially like the fold down option that allows you to open the tailgate on a SUV.

 "Good Rack for Price" 2009-07-03
By Michael Barton (Coral Springs, FL)
Was easy to assemble with two 9/16 inch wrenches, one being a socket type wrench on a 4 inch extension is best for tighting the hitch bolt. Rack fits and clears nicely the bumber on a 08 Ford Edge. Be sure the 0.5 inch collar on the hitch bolt, which has a 3/8 inch shank, penetrates past the hole in the box part of the hitch - it fits thru the hole and presses the rack against one side of the box to prevent side to side wobble. The hole in the rack is smaller then 1/2 inch and accepts the 3/8 dia. bolt with some amount of play. This bolt is 2-3/4 inch long, has 3/4 inch of thread. Its collar's diameter measures 0.505 inch. A small amount of rust was found on a weld after being in the rain. I wonder if the bolt will loosen once the plastic lock insert wears out over use - maybe I will pickup some spares or a lock washer. I use a cable lock through the bike frame, front wheel, rack's frame and the hitches fixed rings to lock everything to the car.

 "Allen Delux Hitch Mount Bike Rack" 2008-10-20
By Michael W. Knight
This is the second one I purchased. I liked the first so well I decided to get another one for car # 2. It's hard to to beat for the price

 "Great for the price" 2008-08-18
By Vincent V (Chicago, IL)
Easy to install. Easy to get bikes on and off. Holds the bike securely on the rack. If you are shopping for a bike rack and you have a hatch on your vehicle you'll want to have a bike rack that you don't have to take off to get to the hatch (like this rack). Trust me, it is worth the extra money...

 "allen 3 bike rack" 2008-07-26
By T. Kershner (dayton ohio)
great rack, easy to assemble and use. would recomend a locking hitch pin so you don't need wrenches to attach and detach it from reciever and to make it more secure. we also use straps to stabilize it to the roof rack for that extra bit of stability but it isn't necessary

 "Sturdy rack with tight space for 3 bikes" 2009-07-31
By David Panadero Ortiz (Mountain View, CA)
Pro:

sturdy, tilt functionality to access the trunk when rack is mounted



Con:

might be difficult to mount some bikes on it



This rack is easy to assemble and works great on my Ford Explorer XLT 2" hitch. I can open the trunk glass door of my car while this rack is on when I tilt it, which is very convenient. It will accommodate 3 bikes if all of them have a bar going from the upper seat bar to the handle bar like it is common on most road bikes. If you have bikes with a lowered or w/o such a bar like on some women bikes it might be a challenge to get 3 bikes on this rack or find a good position at all even for one single bike. Try it out before you buy it. If you use this rack don't forget to secure your front handle bar. I did that and the cable of my bike computer broke due to tension when the handle bar turned around while driving....

 "Great Trailer Rack-with a couple of issues" 2009-06-12
By Bruce J. Heine (Deale, MD)
Ordered the Deluxe 3 bike rack from Niagara Bike Shop; arrived on time and in great condition. Used on a 5 day road trip through the Catskills in NY; dirt roads as well as freeway. No issues at all. Only problem was that the retaining pin and associated holes in the tang of the rack were considerably smaller than the pin hole on the 1 1/4" hitch receiver on my Volvo. I had to drill out the hole on the rack so the larger pin would work. The result was that there were no issues with the rack moving or vibrating. Solid fit, no problem. Good quality construction, would buy another.

 "Easy to install and sturdy, some rust" 2009-06-03
By Fredrik Andersson (The United States of America)
We had this rack for about 2 months. Installation on our Jeep was easy and we have used it 5-6 times with two bikes. I usually add an additional bungee cord to make sure wheels etc are fixed and does not move around when driving.

I did notice some rust developing after it having been exposed to rain a few times so I will add some rust protectant.

But overall very happy, we have not had any trouble with this unit and it was worth the money for sure.

 "Best Bike Rack" 2009-05-31
By L. A. Kettell (Cape Cod, MA)
We purchased the bike rack to put on my husbands truck so we could take our bikes to the Cape Cod Canal (which we live near) to bike on week nights after work.

The rack was very easy to install. It only took him about a half hour to get it on. We have used it for a month now and have had no problems at all with it. It is very sturdy and easy to get the bikes on and off. The straps are strong and simple to use. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a muliple bike rack.

 "Allen customer Service dropped the ball..." 2009-05-24
By Michael A. Dorfman (Sarasota, FL)
I received the Allen bike rack in April and after assembling the rack and attaching to my new hitch I realized there was far too much play in the vertical post that carries the bikes. Without bicycles the vertical post wobbles as I drive - enough to hear it banging back and forth in city driving - country roads would drive you crazy! (With the bikes mounted the additional weight reduces the post's movement.) I contacted Allen Racks, they suggested tightening all bolts which I did. Still lots of movement so I emailed a picture showing the range of vertical positions front to back. Here is the service person's response to the picture : "Wow - something definitely doesn't look correct here. Can you please provide your shipping address?"



On April 29th I requested a new rack, at least the two parts not fitting well together. I've never received those parts and a reminder to that clerk hasn't brought any results other than, "These will ship today. Sorry for the delay." emailed may 13th. No items have been received at this time (late May).



I automatically shop thru Amazon because of their support and the usual integrity of their suppliers. Well, beware as Allen Rack's service might be a problem if you find, as I did, a need for parts. By the way, email and phone responses have been adequate. And other than the vertical post over play and wobble the rack is a pleasure to use.

 "Still doesn't help much with kids bikes" 2008-08-14
By M. Anthony (Camden, DE)
None of our kids' bikes would fit on the swagman bike rack we got as a gift so we had to get one of these. The problem is that the bar is too long to fit the way they tell you to attach it. In fact it barely would have worked on our adult bikes, if we had needed to use the adapter. My husband had to figure out a different way to put it on. It's not a simple way but it at least allows us to take the kids' bikes.

 "I should have ordered these years ago!" 2008-06-29
By M. VanBuskirk (Rochester, MI USA)
Great product. I should have ordered them much earlier. We have been lifting and loading 3 of 4 mountain bikes on the lower bar and upside down for years. This adapter makes it so much easier! I ordered 2 different ones and we like this one best because of the locking feature on each end. I will be ordering 1 more.

 "Simple to use/works well" 2009-08-01
By E. T. Obrien (USA)
Easy to install and remove. Have not used it with 3 bikes but it looks like the plastic saddle closest to the vehicle would make it a very tight fit. Works very well with one or two bikes though ( I have the 3 bike model). I use it all the time and it frequently is on the car when I am not using it. Installs and removes in minutes and does not damage the car finish. This is not my first Allen bike product and I have always been satisfied.

 "Nice alternative if you have a hatchback without a hitch" 2009-06-10

 "Does what it is supposed to do" 2009-04-20
By J. Piper (Ashby, MA United States)
For around $50, you won't find an easier rack to place on your car nor one with this quality. Anyone using this style of rack will need to use bungies or other mechanisms to make sure you bikes don't turn into each other or the car and scratch. It's the nature of the beast. I have a Mazda 3 Hatchback. Had to attach bottom to the 'tow hooks' under the car since the bumper is plastic. Thankfully the straps were long enough!

 "Decent, not perfect" 2009-04-13
By A. Fall-Fry (Tallahassee, FL)
Easy to set up and held securely in high-wind over long trip. The down side? It scratched the paint on my trunk. The bar that sits on top of the trunk doesn't have enough padding to keep the middle from scratching once loaded. We had two adult bikes...I imagine if we'd added a third, the scratching would be worse.
