Review on ๐Ÿšด Allen Sports Premier Locking Tray Rack: The Ultimate Secure Bicycle Carrier by Charles Palma

Revainrating 4 out of 5

90% as good as the big ones for 60% of the cost!

This thing is really awesome. If you're wondering what you're missing at the price difference between this and the Kuat NV or Thule T2. Well I'll tell you. Kuat NV is the most beautiful bike carrier. It's not looking too good. However, this is a bike rack, so .2. Integrated cable locks. It doesn't have it. Each lever locks onto the front wheel of each bike, and each of these locks share the same key as the hitch lock. So it really doesn't matter (to me). If I'm in an area with a high theft rate, I have a cable lock that I can easily deploy for added security.3. The system that tilts the platform down to access the tailgate does not work far enough. At least not enough for my Sequoia (see the last photo I posted). Otherwise, the thing is in no way inferior to the best Kuat or Thule luggage racks. And an NV or T2 with 3 bikes costs a few hundred more. If you have a carbon frame it is important not to use trays that will grab your frame. These tire grip holders are essential for carbon bike owners, but if the price on others makes you wonder, just buy this one - you won't regret it.
