Buyers are remorseful. Not very sure

Not recommended. I installed this but it didn't seem very secure. I asked my local bike shop if they set it up right for me. When they asked for the brand and I told ALL they didn't even touch it. (for accountability) They said I installed it correctly, but the few comments fully imply that Allen bike racks are junk on a good day. This luggage rack is supposedly designed for two bikes. Maybe two children's bikes. It was inconvenient for me to put even 1 adult bike on this rack. Feels cheap andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Don't really like it, everything is fine

Complete failure! Suitable for bike carrier

Picked up on my first trip (unfortunately more than 30 days after purchase) and totally broke - on the Autobahn! The only reason I didn't completely lose my bikes was because some passers-by waved at me. You can see from the photos that the quick release buckle, which was supposed to make it easier to stow away, also made it easy to fold it completely during transport. You can see the slot in the hole where the metal pin should stay. The top support bar popped out of the body during the rideโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Robust surface
Cons
  • Nothing

I was very pleased. Driven 940 miles on day one

Installed it in a 2011 Kia Soul and drove 1350 miles from New York to South Florida. We were in and out of the rain about 40% of the trip. I checked the belts after the first 200 miles and they didn't need to be adjusted. I was very pleased. Drove 940 miles the first day, stayed in Georgia and had to tighten most of the seatbelts in the morning before setting off. Arrived in Florida, both bikes and trunk intact and straps held up well. I read a number of reviews and almost all of them hadโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Good but not great

I bought this bike because I needed to cycle across the country. All in all, this thing works great! Minor hiccups here and there, but if you're looking for a cheap solution for moving house or everyday road transport, look no further. Pros: - Well made and durable - it really surprised me. For the price I was expecting cheap hollow metal tubing and the like, but everything is well made and seems built to last. - Easy to Install - After a bit of a learning curve, this thing installs easily inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Very expensive

Great bike rack for two! 4.5/5 stars!

I was looking for a reinforced luggage rack for two road/mountain bikes. I have a mid-size 4-door sedan and wanted to make sure I had something that would go well with my car (Genesis 2017). This bike rack is compatible with almost all vehicles manufactured since 1990. Please check and don't take it literally. Suitable for a large number of domestic and imported vehicles. It will probably match your car. He has a good price. It folds into a compact (flat) frame for easy storage. There are 5โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

But wanted to give 5 stars. check before installation!

Package arrived looking as if it had been previously opened and repackaged - Shelf did not fit properly in box and flaps were taped shut. I don't really care, but it might have something to do with a serious issue I had with this rack. Out of the box it looked good and worked well. When I opened the post, it snapped into place with a reassuring "click" and solidified. I installed it on my computer following the simple instructions and checked that everything is ok. Then I set up my 2 mediumโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
