Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed to fit most sedans, hatchbacks, minivans and SUV's, the Allen 104A Basic 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack offers an easy-to-use and versatile option for transporting bicycles while on the road. Its 22-inch long carry arms can accommodate up to four bicycles, and can be released with a single pop-up pin when not in use for easier storage. The rack's streamlined, single-configuration design eases installation and minimizes assembly. The rack also incorporates Allen's own "No-wobble" bolt, which eliminates movement of the rack inside of the hitch and secures the bicycle firmly in place. It is finished with a rugged UV-resistant polyester powder coating, ensuring both durability and a sleek, attractive look.

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.

This review is from: Allen Basic 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack (Sports)
This is a sturdy, quick mounting rack that can handle up to 4 bicycles easily. It can be disconnected in 30 seconds and fits easily in 1/3 of my Saturn trunk when not in use. The only downside is the bikes literally stack on each other causing numerous scratches.

This review is from: Allen Basic 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack (Sports)
It's medium duty and may need some extra padding depending on your configuation, but a 4-bike rack of this type is somewhat rare.
