Amazon.com Product Description
Carry your bicycles securely and avoid the hassles of piled bikes or high threshold rooftop mounts, with the Allen Premium 3-Bike Hitch Mount Rack. Fitting vehicles with a 1.25 or 2-inch trailer hitch, the Allen Premium Hitch Mount Rack boasts the new Quick Carry Arm Release, making it both easy to operate and super secure for your bikes. Constructed out of steel with a durable black powder finish, the rack is built to last and is backed up by a lifetime warranty by Allen.
The Allen rack boasts a patented tie-down system and individually cradles up to three bikes in the 16-inch carry arms. A separate tie down strap is included with the rack and eliminates lower bike movement completely. As easy to install as it is to use, the rack sets up in less than 5 minutes with a no-wobble bolt that holds it still within the hitch. When the rack is not in use, the carry arms quickly drop out of the way and fold down flat with a patented single pin mechanism and the rack tilts up to allow easy access to the lift gate.

About Allen Bike Racks:
In 1967, after a few years of working on the aerospace technology for the Apollo missions, Dick Allen was out of a job. Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling enthusiast, inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need for a bike-carrying device. On weekends, he would take his sons and wife to Cape Cod or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. What proved difficult time and again was the transport of his family's bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience with twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as well as a market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities.
Always a pathfinder, Allen took to work in his Lincoln, Massachusetts garage in search of a more efficient way to transport bikes. Drafting designs during the day and constructing them throughout the night, he put together a model made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding). At first, the Allens tested the prototype on weekend excursions. Finding the first trunk-mounted rack to be a success, Dick started Allen Bike Racks. Dealer acceptance came quickly, and by 1971 Allen Bike Racks were sold nationally through a number of major bicycle distributors. Today, the company owns over three-dozen patents and offers a versatile product line of bike racks while Dick's son Alex now owns and operates the business. What started out as a small garage run operation now operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and has products sold in more than a dozen countries around the world.

We drove 490 miles with it this weekend and it was great.Easy installation, quick release allows it to fold down easily, and another quick release allows it to tilt out of the way for liftgate access. Very satisfied. 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful Nice Sturdy Unit, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Allen Premium 3-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (1.25 or 2-Inch Receiver) (Sports) Bought this bike rack to use on the back of our class c motorhome. The rack was very easy to assemble. I noticed right away the construction was superior to other racks I have looked at (this is a heavy rack) with all parts fitted and finished nicely. Look forward to many miles of use with this unit! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Good bike rack. Tight fit for 3, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Allen Premium 3-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (1.25 or 2-Inch Receiver) (Sports) This has been a good bike rack. We just got back from an 800 mile trip. One problem we encountered; It will not easily hold three regular road bikes. The spacing is really too close. Also if you have a small frame bike, you may have problems fitting it over the arms. ( too wide )I solved both problems by building an extension that added length and was a bit narrower. It seemed to work ok. There may be better racks available but this one was pretty good for the price. |
