Sports Premier Locking Tray Rack

Is it perfect? No; but it’s very well close to it! The best part is that this is about half the price of a comparable Kuat/Thule/Yakima system. Obviously half the cost = half the quality. This isnt’ a heavy duty bike rack that I would put an E-Bike on, but for road, hybrid, and mountain bikes of different sizes. I believe this holds up to about 35-40 lbs per bike. I have 2 road bikes mounted on and have gone on about a hundred mile drive round trip through the hills with no issues of what-so-ever. Overall i like this rack and i think its worth if you’re considering the Kuat/Thule/Yakima tray systems but dont want to shell out that kind of cash. Pros: - easy to install/remove from vehicle - pretty lightweight (compared to my old steel bike racks) - pretty easy to put on and take off the bikes (once you get used to it) - able to open the tailgate with a bike mounted on* (only if 1 bike and if mounted on the outer tray; but ability to open tailget subject to handlebar size) - Anti-rattle screw system works great Cons: - Limited tilt away angle to open tailgate. Wish it would angle more.

Definitely recommend this bike rack! It's better quality than I thought it would be tbh and fits into my 2 inch hitch really well and is quite sturdy. The locking arms and hitch work great too and are super easy to use. It is really adjustable and fit 2 bikes with ease. I saw another review that mention the tire straps and he was right; they are a bit long and can be a pain to deal with, but not so much so that it should affect your decision to buy. Ultimately, this is up there with Thule in my book but not quite a kuat. I think the price point is just right and makes it a solid bargain.

This item of arrived pot well it had never been opened before. The instructions appear to only be in German. The boss really advertises compatible with one and a half or 2 in hitches. However, the box I received did not come with the required adapter plate. I attempted to contact Alan sports but wasn't able to reach a human. A determined that there really is no support for this. It's very unlikely a warranty support would actually go through and it was missing parts upon me receiving it. There were other people who commented the same in other reviews, but I was hoping it was just a fluke. Aside from the missing part and being completely unable to use the product, it's notable that most of the materials used are either plastic or fairly flimsy aluminum. This isn't the strong steel product that's advertised. I'm not sure if the seller is just swapping one product with another and selling something inferior or if it's just a crummy product.

As for transporting bikes, this is one of, if not the best. Mounting is easy and even mounting two bikes only takes a minute or two at the most. The bikes are perfectly secure as my 1000 mile trip over various quality roads attests. It is well built and requires minimal and simple assembly. The trunk of my car can be opened and accessed even while the bikes are on the tray, but obviously not as easy as it would be without the rack. When not in use, the tray folds up neatly and easily. I bought this particular rack because of all the tray mounts I viewed, this one was about the lightest at 32 lbs, and I've enjoyed and appreciated my other Allen products. I wanted a tray mount because I recently purchased a carbon frame bike and I didn't like the idea of hanging the frame by the top tube as my other Allen Rack requires. The bike mfr said it was OK to do that, if I secured it properly, but I just didn't like the idea. The only drawback I've encountered is putting it in the hitch receiver (1 1/4"). I have a sedan and that is part of the problem as the hitch itself is fairly low. For reasons I cannot explain, I did mount it fairly easily the first two times I tried, but since then I haven't been able to do without help. With help, it's a snap. Holding the rack and getting it into a receiver that is this low is made a bit more difficult because whenever I get it close or need to tilt this way or that, I can't see what I'm doing. Sometimes this is my vision weakness, other times the rack itself blocks my vision. I'm 6' 0" tall and strong enough to lift 32 lbs without much difficulty. It's getting it in and mounted that is the issue. My instinct tells me this might be easier with a 2" receiver, but I haven't tried that yet. If a potential buyer has a pickup or SUV with the hitch receiver that is higher than a sedan, that might make things easier. I might get better at it with practice, too. If a buyer intends to put it on and leave it on for extended periods, the problem I'm having shouldn't be an issue. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars if I could. I've used other Allen products and loved them all. I love this one, too, I just wish mounting it was easier.

Over priced hard to put in the car not sure it’s that stable while driving

Le design est excellent. Rappelez-vous qu’il se monte à un attelage de style américain

Schrott !!! Finger weg davon !
