Review on 🧳 Premium Trunk Bike Rack by Wanick Palermo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

If it takes a year.

. This will be one of my best buys this year. I have a hybrid bike on a 2015 Civic Si body. Two bikes mounted, mine is not in the photo. Although the Allen Sports website doesn't list a spoiler/fender, I was able to fit the straps underneath. Once properly installed, it holds up well and the bike is safe. In addition to the bungee cords, I cut the extra strap (after installation) and torched the cut ends. I also added some padding to the metal hooks. The joints were too loose so I gave them a few turns. I found mounting points both inside and on the trunk lid itself. My only concern is that my plate is partially clogged. Due to quick installation and removal, I will remove it while cycling. It's small enough to always carry in my trunk. I was considering a $300 rack but I'm glad I found the Allen Sports rack. Addendum: Make sure your bike doesn't wobble when mounted along the bottom rail of the rack. One of the straps almost broke off. Now I use a short bungee to secure the seat post next to the post and the grip along with it. Because of the proximity to my polish, I can't afford to exercise. Long term update: The rubber caps on the bottom bar are wearing out and digging into the frame. Replace or update them. I used the remaining protective tape to add padding until I changed caps. Otherwise he has many kilometers behind him.

Pros
  • Individual mounts secure and protect bicycles
Cons
  • I don't like it that much, it'll do
