Quick Fold Carry Arms

Allen Premier Hitch Racks incorporate an easy fold arm design which allow the carry arms on the racks to be dropped out of the way when not in use by simply squeezing the two red release buttons on the carrier.

Quick Secure Straps And Dual Compound Cradles

Durable, UV resistant rubber cradle straps quickly secure your bicycle in place and work with a wide range of tube sizes. The tie-downs include a soft cradle bed to fully protect your bicycles during transport.

About Allen Sports

Dick 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. Dick, 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

Allen Sports Premier Hitch Mounted 2-bike carrier mounts quickly and easily to your 2" or 1 1/4" trailer hitch. The arms "snap" into place right out of the box. Allen's new dual-compound cradle system securely holds your bicycles in place and the rack's large padded Spine Shield protects your bicycles as well. In addition to the easy folding arms on this rack, the new innovative internal tilt-away release makes it a snap to access your vehicle's rear lift gate. The powder-coated rack installs in just minutes with a no-wobble bolt and an integrated locking loop offers a place to secure your bikes.

    Pretty well thought out.
    I am an avid cyclist, road and MB. I had been using a different rack that I liked, but I am also an amateur radio operator, and wanted something to support an 11 m telescoping antenna mast. I support annual fundraisers for projects such as diabetes and MS in New England. The forest and terrain interfere with communications. Some of the rides are 100 miles. The mast raises the antenna high enough into the forest canopy that I can communicate with others. For the mast, I place the bottom of the mast, before I extend it, on a small board. Then I secure the mast to the rack, with the bike bars in the raised position. Then I mount the antenna and coax, and extend the antenna. I can do that In 15 minutes by myself. As a bike rack, it works great. Assembled easily, and fits my trailer hitch. It wobbles a bit unless you use the no-wobble bolt. One of the nice features of the bike rack is that I can easily remove it in the mountains and stash it in my vehicle for the day while I am mountain biking.
