About Allen Sports Deluxe 2-Bike Spare Tire Rack
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
81% found the rack stable, but 19% experienced wobbling
We had doubts about the stability of the rack due to its price, but it performed well even on highways and bumpy roads. We had 2 bikes on this rack the entire time and they did not budge an inch.
Every time there was a slight bump on the road, the rack would come undone.
The stability of the rack relies on two small and unstable metal poles that fit into a hole.
79% felt their bikes were secure, but 21% had concerns
I used 3 ratchet straps to secure the bike rack to the tire only. Now I can open my door and the rack is secure.
With the bike carrier attached, our bikes flew off at 70 mph, indicating a lack of security.
My bicycle-car-rack bounced right off of the spare tire, indicating poor security.
I am not satisfied with the security of the product. One should use a bike cable lock around it, the bikes, and the spare to make it more difficult for would-be thieves.
82% found the installation process straightforward, but 18% encountered difficulties
The installation process was quick and easy, taking less than 10 minutes to set up.
I was pleasantly surprised by the perfect fit and ease of installation of the bicycle-car-rack. It took only 30 seconds to install and probably 10 seconds to remove.
The installation process is easy. The top part of the mount hinges onto the spare tire and the two straps on the bottom hook onto the bumper or door. Pulling the straps creates tension to securely fasten the rack to the rear tire.
Assembling took me over 30 minutes because the instructions were very confusing.
82% found it easy to load and unload their bikes
It is very easy for me to put on and take off, and also to load and unload bikes.
I find this bike rack to be the most convenient and easiest to use compared to all the other bike racks I have owned.
82% liked the durable construction, but 18% found it flimsy
While using the rack on the freeway, it failed and dragged my bikes for 50 yards before I could pull over. This indicates that the product is not durable enough for normal usage.
I gave three stars for durability because the product uses plastic and material straps, which make me doubt its long-term durability.
81% were satisfied with the compatibility, but 19% faced issues
On 'Compatible' cars, the bottom latch does not attach firmly.
81% appreciated the high capacity, but 19% found it insufficient
The bike rack can hold two bikes with a total weight of 70lbs.
I carried two trek dual sport 1 bikes weighing 30.26 pounds each on this rack, even though the limit is 35lbs.

We had doubts about the stability of the rack due to its price, but it performed well even on highways and bumpy roads. We had 2 bikes on this rack the entire time and they did not budge an inch.
I am concerned about the stability of the rack, specifically the horizontal top bar. It seems undersized and does not inspire confidence.
