About Allen Sports Deluxe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
90% appreciated the high capacity, but 10% found it insufficient
The support couldn't handle the weight of three bicycles, including a child's, causing it to collapse while the car was still moving.
I had three bikes on the rack, including a kids bike, which exceeded the weight capacity of the rack.
The stated carrying capacity of the rack is 70 lbs, but the Amazon ad posting or the product specifications did not mention 35 lbs. per bike.
92% found the rack stable
I was concerned if the clips on the top bars would hold the two bikes snugly, but they did. The bikes were safely away from the car body and apart from each other.
During the trip, I never felt the mount was unsecure or wobbly. It was super stable.
The rack is stable and does not cause any marks on my trunk paint.
I find stability to be the most important factor for me and I have used the product myself. It is very stable with minimal shake or movement.
92% felt their bikes were secure, but 8% had concerns
The bike-securing straps seem fairly secure, but bungee cords are used to secure the bikes to the rack based on other user reviews.
The rack lacks security and it would be easy to take the bike with a locked-on bike if I was so inclined.
If you are worried about security, this bike rack may not be suitable.
If I don't physically lock my bike to the car, the product doesn't offer any security.
90% found the installation process straightforward, but 10% encountered difficulties
The installation process takes a few minutes for the first time, but after that it takes only 1-2 minutes.
The installation process was tricky for the first time. The side straps might migrate up a bit and need to be readjusted. However, once I got the hang of it, it became much faster in the future.
92% found it easy to load and unload their bikes
I was able to put the bike rack together without any problems as the instructions were super easy.
The product is very easy to use and is small and compact.
The bike rack is awesome and easy to use and store.
I found it very convenient and easy to use for my bike. My bike stays secure and there is plenty of excess strap to secure the tires as the directions suggest.

92% liked the durable construction, but 8% found it flimsy
I have been using this bike rack for two years and have traveled over 5,000 miles with it. The main body and straps are very durable and I have had no need to replace them yet.
The metal clips are more durable but will scratch the paint where they are put.
92% were satisfied with the compatibility, but 8% faced issues
The bike rack damaged my Acura TL's paint and it's not compatible as claimed.
The product was not compatible with my car as mentioned on the website.
I was disappointed that the product was not compatible with my 17 Mazda CX-3, but it works with 18 and newer models.
The product doesn't fit my car (2013 Fusion) even though it's on their list of compatible models.
88% noticed improved aerodynamics with the rack, but 12% experienced increased wind noise
I was lucky that the bike remained semi attached to the car by the second strap after it went flying in the air.
