🚲 Allen Sports Premier Spare Tire Rack for 2 Bikes (Model S302) Review

Perfect for my heavy mountain bike! Use it almost daily. Durable and strong. My belts lasted 2 years. I just bought my second bike rack. I'm wondering if it would be possible to just replace the straps? Spend the extra money and buy this bike rack over an equally priced model. Great bike rack! Easy to use 👍🏽

$300 model from REI. At $50, this model seemed cheap - suspiciously cheap. I tried this model and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I've used it every weekend around town and will be taking it on a longer bike ride in a few weeks. Excellent purchase!

I have a special hitch mounted drop down tire carrier that makes it difficult to use most spare wheel bike carriers including well known brands like Yakima and Thule. I needed something that would add minimal weight to my setup, yet be strong enough not to amplify the impact of the spare tire. I've used this three times so far - twice with my trail bike on the rack to and from local parks and the third time with no load but at 80mph on the freeway. The setup has been extremely stiff on all of…

I was researching different bike racks for my 2012 RAV4 and was considering a $300 REI model. At $50, this one seemed cheap to me - suspiciously cheap. I ended up giving this a chance and am very happy with my purchase. Installation took only a few minutes and was fine. Note that on this RAV4 model, the straps were barely long enough to loop under the bumper.
