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 refined 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 operates four warehouses nationally, six factories abroad, and sells products in countries around the world including USA, Mexico, Canada, and China.
Easy to install and use. It does fit 4 bikes. The strap system to secure the bikes is excellent.

Easy to install, easy to use and easy to raise and lower the rack when required to open the lift gate. It does fit 4 bikes (I used it for 3 mountain bikes and 1 road bike). Ensure that you check the main bolt attached to the trailer hitch on a regular basis as it can become slightly loose. This is by far the best value for money from a company that has been in the rack business for over 40 years. I found other brands to be overpriced compared to Allen.

Our first 600 km trip with this new purchased bike rack. Very strong and stable! Only thing is the 2” bar need to put some tape to perfectly fit the receiver! Allen Sport should make it a little bit thicker. Overall this is very good bike rack at this price range! Highly recommend!

I am downgrading my review of this product because after more uses, i can confirm that it is outright impossible for this thing to hold 4 adult size mountain bikes (see pics). The spacing is so close that even if after fighting, you can manage to sardine the first two together, the length of the handle bars on the first bike make it impossible for the third one to fit. This is at best a 3 bike rack, and in some instances only 2. I now wish that for similar money, i would have bought a true bottom support 4-bike rack. DO NOT buy this rack thinking you are going to haul 4 adult bikes.

See my pictures to observe how well it's aging and handling the constant sun exposure and very frequent use. We leave the bike rack on year round and rarely ever take it off. You can see the red handle has finally succumb to the sun and a piece broke off recently, but otherwise it hasn't affected functionality one bit. We ride our bikes 1-3 times a week, weather permitting. The tilt function constantly gets used to access the hatch door of the SUV for loading groceries, gear, etc. We even use this bike rack during the snow season when combined with the Yakima ski/board rack (see pic). Everything is holding up quite well, all things considered!
My thoughts on the bike rack design: I love the simplicity of this bike rack. I actually like that it doesn't have those seat-tube stabilizers as they always just got in the way when taking my bikes off and on with previous racks. If you want to keep your bikes from swing during the car's braking and acceleration, simply leave a bungee cord in the vehicle and use it to pin the bikes to the rack after strapping the bikes on. Easy. If there is any negatives, I would say the top swing arm (the U shaped arm that the bikes rest on) has a little play on the down position so you can hear it clanking around a bit when accelerating from a stop light.
For the price, this is an easy 5 star rating from me. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
