Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount

An easy to use, rugged rack to safely transport your bikes

Carry up to four bicycles on road trips or camping excursions with the Allen four-bike carrier hitch. The hitch insert--which fits 2-inch receiver hitches--is easy to operate and super secure for your bikes. Just attach it to your hitch, then use the tie-down cradle system to individually secure and protect the bikes. The carry arm accommodates a wide range of frame sizes and designs, so you can carry your kid-size mountain bike or adult road bike with equal confidence. And you don't have to remove your bikes to access the back of your truck or SUV, as the rack tilts back for easy lift-gate access and folds out of the way completely when not in use. Also equipped with a no-wobble bolt to keep the rack from moving inside the hitch, the four-bike carrier is colored with a black powder-coated finish.

Quick assembly and easy install

With only three bolts needed to assemble your Allen Deluxe Hitch Rack, your rack will be out of the box and have you on the road in minutes.

Key Feature List

  • Folding carry arms
  • Individual tie-down cradles to secure and protect bicycles

About Allen Sports

Richard Allen (pictured left in 1972) started Allen Sports in his garage in 1967. Since its founding, the company has been committed to producing the highest-quality, easiest-to-use bike racks and bicycle-related products on the market. Allen, a onetime aerospace engineer, opened Allen Sports after building a prototype bike carrier in his Lincoln, Massachusetts shop in his free time. The first-ever trunk-mounted bicycle carrier made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding) was refined on weekend excursions to Cape Cod. Shortly afterward, Allen took his design to market, and by 1971 had established a national presence for his product.

Today, the family-owned company owns more than three dozen patents, operates four warehouses nationally, six factories abroad, and sells products in countries around the world including USA, Mexico, Canada, and China.

Product Description

Product Description

Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mounted Carrier.

Amazon.com

Carry your bicycles securely and avoid the hassles of piled bikes or high threshold rooftop mounts, with the Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack. Fitting vehicles with a 2-inch trailer hitch, the Allen Deluxe Hitch Mount Rack is both easy to operate and super secure for your bikes. Constructed out of steel with a durable black powder finish, the rack is built to last and is backed up by a lifetime warranty by Allen.

The Allen rack boasts a patented tie-down system and individually cradles up to four bikes in the 22-inch carry arms. As easy to install as it is to use, the rack sets up in less than 5 minutes with a no-wobble bolt that holds it still within the hitch. When the rack is not in use, the carry arms quickly drop out of the way and fold down flat with a patented single pin mechanism and the rack tilts up to allow easy access to the lift gate.

Specifications:

  • Fits vehicles with a 2-inch trailer hitch
  • Holds up to four bikes
  • 22-inch carry arms
  • Individual bike cradles
  • Steel construction
  • Black powder coat finish
  • Patented single key release system
  • Tie down strap
  • Minor assembly required

    About Allen Bike Racks:
    In 1967, after a few years of working on the aerospace technology for the Apollo missions, Dick Allen was out of a job. Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling enthusiast, inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need for a bike-carrying device. On weekends, he would take his sons and wife to Cape Cod or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. What proved difficult time and again was the transport of his family's bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience with twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as well as a market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities.

    Always a pathfinder, Allen took to work in his Lincoln, Massachusetts garage in search of a more efficient way to transport bikes. Drafting designs during the day and constructing them throughout the night, he put together a model made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding). At first, the Allens tested the prototype on weekend excursions. Finding the first trunk-mounted rack to be a success, Dick started Allen Bike Racks. Dealer acceptance came quickly, and by 1971 Allen Bike Racks were sold nationally through a number of major bicycle distributors. Today, the company owns over three-dozen patents and offers a versatile product line of bike racks while Dick's son Alex now owns and operates the business. What started out as a small garage run operation now operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and has products sold in more than a dozen countries around the world.

    Going strong after two full seasons of use
    5 Stars
    Going strong after two full seasons of use
    UPDATE: For the off-season, I added a wall mounted hitch receiver in my garage and now store 3 bikes above the hood of my car for the winter. It freed up a lot of floor space and also gives me a place to store the rack when not installed.Used for two full seasons hauling adult-sized road and mountain bikes, and highly recommend this rack.. No rattling on the rack or hitch receiver with or without bikes on it. Pull one pin to get it out of the way of the lift gate, and another to fold the bike support arms out of the way.The strap system is easy to use and holds the bikes securely. The powder coat finish still looks as good as new.Like most 4-bike racks, it can be a challenge to position all 4 to fit on the rack, aligning handle bars and pedals, especially with straight bar mountain bikes, so it works better with less than 4.The best way to install this is with the included bolt and nylon lock nut to hold it tight in the receiver. So you’ll need a couple of wrenches to remove it if you plan to swap it for a hitch. It may rattle if you use a quick release pin.Note that this fits a 2” class 3 or 4 hitch receiver, not a 1.25” class 1 or 2. I’m not sure I would recommend trying to use it with a hitch adapter. Definitely consult the manufacturer before trying.Also, I would expect the straps to fray over time if left flapping loose when no bikes are installed. I’d recommend attaching them loosely even when empty to prevent this.

    Have been used this bike rack for two days. Like it!
    It's easy to assemble and easy to install. Solid and sturdy.
    Two things are not ideal and have been mentioned by other buyers. One is that the hole is not big enough to get the pin through. Lucky that my neighbor has big enough drill bit and helped me to drill the hole bigger. The other is that it's very challenging to hold 4 bikes at the same time.
