About Allen Sports

Dick 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. Dick, a onetime 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 owns more than three dozen patents, operates four warehouses nationally, six factories abroad, and sells products in countries around the world including USA, Mexico, Canada, and China.

Fits VW Beetle Convertible

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 30, 2023

Style: 1-bikeColour Name: Gray powder coatedVerified Purchase

Not sure why they say it doesn’t fit my 2005 convertible Beetle because it works perfectly. It’s the only bike rack that I found that is small enough to fit on the trunk. I’ve been using it for the past month with no issues with the top up and down. It won’t work on the models that have a spoiler on the trunk though.

The rack was purchased for use with 2 MTB's weighing approximately 35lbs each and I'm happy to say we have no major issues. It can be tricky to have the 2nd bike mounted due to the compact size but, we make it work and everything is sturdy.

Works great on my two door Yaris!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 18, 2018

Style: 2-bikeColour Name: BlackVerified Purchase

I'm really happy with this bike rack. I drive a two door hatchback Yaris and wasn't able to find an affordable roof rack system to mount my bikes on and this system does a great job.

Pros:
Affordable
Quick install/takedown
Very compact
Low profile even with two bikes.
Did not block the licence plate at all on my vehicle
Reasonably secure mounting
The rack stays in place at highway speeds but I did notice the straps weren't quite as tight at the end of my hour drive.

Cons:
Bikes are secured to the rack with nylon straps and plastic loop-through style fasteners. They work but it's a bit annoying that you have to undo the strap completely each time. I wish it had more of a clamp style fastener with quick release.

I also worry about security if I have to leave my vehicle with the bikes on the rack because it would be super easy to cut the straps. Basically the best you can do is lock the bikes together to make them harder to steal.

All in all I'm very happy with this purchase so far!

Great compact bike carrier

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 12, 2022

Style: 1-bikeColour Name: Gray powder coatedVerified Purchase

I was very happy with the fit. I did not need an adapter to fit my ladies bike, it just sat a little differently. I intentionally sat it offside and under the lip for stability because it hung further off one side due to the way I mounted it. The tie downs rotate which was perfect to allow it to fit. I added two additional velcro straps to keep the wheels from spinning and peace of mind, but I don't think they were needed.

Good product, but won't work for women's style bikes without getting cross bar adapter.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 11, 2021

Style: 1-bikeColour Name: Gray powder coatedVerified Purchase

I ordered this single bike carrier for my compact hatchback car. It mounted nicely, but when I went to put a step through (women's) bike on I discovered it wouldn't work unless I also purchased a bike frame adapter bar, which meant another two week wait until that arrived. Installation of the adapter bar was easy, and the carrier works very well. Unfortunately the factory mounted water bottle holder didn't match up with an empty space for the carrier and the water bottle holder broke.

As advertised, with only a few manageable issues to deal with

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 29, 2014

Style: 1-bikeColour Name: Gray powder coatedVerified Purchase

This is as advertsied: very compact when folded; very sturdy when mounted. Only two concerns: 1) the cross-bar on my road bike (carbon frame) is a bot too wide for the cradles. Not critical if you tie it on snugly. 2) I have been reluctant to use a rack that touches the car paint, because no mattter what, rubbing will occure. My solution: use clear vinyl static-mount sheets, cut to the right size and place them on the car trunk where the pads meet the car. We'll see how that works.

The only other minor itch has been the way the arms snap in place at the joints. There are spring-loaded steel balls that pop into little holes to keep things solid.One of my arms is almost impossible to close without using a key or something like that to press the little ball down far enough for the arm to move. At one point, I pushed the whole mechanism in too far and had to find a way to fish it out.

I will really only use this rarely (I have a four-bike carrier mounted on our other vehicle), so this seems the perfect answer.

It is very well built, sturdy and stable. The only issue I have is that it rests on the license plate. You might get ticketed for that.

Simple but adequate lightweight bike rack.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 24, 2022

Style: 2-bikeColour Name: BlackVerified Purchase

Sorry about the long review but I took some time picking a rack out for us and I read plenty of reviews and I really wanted to add some of my thoughts.

I bought the Allen bike rack for our 2 childrens bikes to go on our Peugeot 2008. Although it wasn’t listed as fitting our car for what it cost it was worth a punt.

It arrived the next day as it was prime delivery. It comes in a small but weighty box. The rack is super simple to get ready. I would say assembly as it’s fully assembled in the box and just has to be erected if you like.

It has 5 nylon straps with metal hooks on the ends which 2 hook over the top of the boot, 2 to the sides and 1 under the bottom of the boot lid. The whole operation took about 10 mins maximum.

So the bikes we were using were 2 fairly small child’s bikes and they posed some trouble. This was because 1 was just too small, we got it on to a certain extent but not as I would of preferred. The second slightly bigger bike was a jiggle (again because of its size) but it went on. Apart from that and not wanting to strap the rack tighter to the boot in case of damage the rack served it’s purpose. We had a 15min drive to a promenade for a little ride and besides a nerve racking first drive, the drive back was less nail biting as I tightened the rack to the boot a little.

After getting back the bikes come off super easy and the rack comes with a small bag to keep it in after unlatching and folding up.

So all in all the rack flat out works, it isn’t exactly the sturdiest on the market but it is certainly one of the cheapest, the build quality is more than enough for what we need, 2 small child’s bikes.

Personally I wouldn’t start hanging heavy or large expensive bikes off it for the obvious reasons and I wouldn’t want to drive for a couple of hundred miles with it in the boot. It is fairly forgiving in the fit on cars and I imagine it will fit most hatchbacks etc.

Anyways hopefully this lengthy review is of some help to anyone who is in the market for a cheap bike rack.

Brilliant car rack and easy to fit any type of car (except Audi TT coupe). Could to with padding to put onto windows to prevent possible scratching but really useful. Easily fitted 2 mountain bikes to a Vauxhall Astra.

Worth it.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 19, 2022

Style: 2-bikeColour Name: BlackVerified Purchase

I must say I was apprehensive about this purchase. It was strapped on in under 5 minutes. Took 2 XL mountain bikes on a polo mk5 over a distance of 80 miles with an avg. speed of 60 and it was sturdy.
I stopped once to make sure everything was in place and it was all still as tight as if I had just put it on.
I would recommend tying the excess straps up so they don't clatter against the car.

Wow, love this Bicycle carrier.....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 7, 2022

Take your time with this clever carrier...
I've had a few cumbersome carriers over the years that needed storage facilities because they were big, robust units that couldn't be compacted....
This unit is soo compact, folding into itself very neatly ...
Take your time unfolding it..... it works but can cause frustration if your expectations are that you just put it on your car & go!!!!
Practice, Practice with it, it works and folds up soo compact that you can leave it in your Trunk/Boot.....
Patience & Understanding required 🙏
