For those who love cycling, transporting your bicycles to a great place to ride—whether the BMX track, mountain bike trails, or just cruising at the beach—can be a pain. But a solid and inexpensive hitch-mounted rack like this one can make trips an easy excursion. Made by Allen Bike—a family-run American business—this bike rack fits vehicles with a 2-inch trailer hitch and is made from black powder-coated steel. It uses a patented tie-down system to keep bikes secure—up to four on the 22-inch carrying arms. It sets up fast, under 5 minutes, and uses a special “no wobble” bolt to make sure it won’t move around while in the hitch. A single pin is used to easily drop the arms when not in use, and it can tilt up and out of the way to get access to your cargo area.
Satisfied customers liked that the bike rack was "solid and stable.” One said, “The rack is very stable,” while another added that “this is a no-frills rack that gives great performance and feels surprisingly durable." Another reviewer said, Myy kids jumped on the bike rack while it was in the down position—it didn't bend.”
Others liked that the price was reasonable, even before this big discount. “Great price compared to high-end carriers,” said one, “but it seems like it's just as good.” Another was a big fan of the well-thought-out features, saying that “the no-wobble bolt really doesn't wobble! Most importantly, the cradles rotate a full 360 degrees and are not wider than the bars of the rack—we have not yet found a bike that we can't fit on the rack.”
Avid cyclists need a safe and secure way to transport their bikes to their favorite spots, and this Allen bike rack is an inexpensive way to do that. Even though it’s priced well—and is an even bigger steal at 53% off—it doesn’t skimp on quality. This spring sale won’t be around for long, though, so hop on it now.
