Review on 🚲 Versatile and Easy-to-Use Allen Sports 3-Bike Hitch Racks for 1 1/4 in. and 2 in. Hitch by Patrick Reynolds

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not bad but Premier

This is a decent bike rack that would definitely do the trick but I saw someone who had the Premier Edition and wish I could spend the extra $100 and get one . Key Benefits: Instead of cotter pins, you get quick-release fasteners on the top and bottom of the rack. This is much easier than removing the pins. The luggage rack has a rubber pad on the Premier but not on the Deluxe and the bikes will bang against the rack. So I had to put foam tape on the rack, Premier doesn't need that. The Premier's straps are easier to attach and are made of elastic rubber. You simply pull them over the bike mounts and lock them in place, the Deluxe has threads for the fabric straps. Finally, the Premier comes with a very long locking strap that can go through all of the bike's tires, while the Deluxe requires you to buy straps or elastic cords to stretch the wheels to keep them from spinning all over the place.
