Sports reviews of Allen Deluxe 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver)

Customer Review: A great bike carrier for a family
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I've been looking for a 5-bike carrier for quite a while; this one provides the best balance between quality and value. The rack is well-built, holds bikes securely on long trips, and stays very secure in the hitch - which can't be said for a lot of carriers. When the rack arrived it was better built than some of the "top name" brands I had seen at the local bike shop for a lot more money. It held all my bikes from my top-end triathlon bike to all the kid bikes, with very little "jockeying" to get them steady. Gotta love that!

Only issue was that when the rack arrived, one of the bike holding collars was broken in transit; all it took was one e-mail to Allen explaining the problem and a replacement part was on the way. Great customer service is just another plus. Highly recommended!

Description of Allen Deluxe 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver)

Delux 5 bike carrier for 2" Hitch
Carry your bicycles securely and avoid the hassles of piled bikes or high threshold rooftop mounts, with the Allen Deluxe 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack. Fitting vehicles with a 2-inch trailer hitch, the Allen Deluxe Hitch Mount Rack is both easy to operate and super secure for your bikes. Constructed out of steel with a durable black powder finish, the rack is built to last and is backed up by a lifetime warranty by Allen.

The Allen rack boasts a patented tie-down system and individually cradles up to five bikes in the 28-inch carry arms. A separate tie down strap is included with the rack and eliminates lower bike movement completely. As easy to install as it is to use, the rack sets up in less than 5 minutes with a no-wobble bolt that holds it still within the hitch. When the rack is not in use, the carry arms quickly drop out of the way and fold down flat with a patented single pin mechanism and the rack tilts up to allow easy access to the lift gate.

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.
