Amazon.com Product Description
Carry your bicycles as securely as possible and avoid the hassles of high-threshold rooftop mounts or messy pile-on racks with the Allen 104S premium trunk-mount rack. Designed to fit sedans, hatchbacks, minivans, and SUVs, the rack snaps into place right out of the box--no frustrating assembly, no instructions that take a half hour to figure out. More importantly, the rack holds up to four bikes at once, with 22-inch-long arms that accommodate road bikes, mountain bikes, and hybrids. And should you need to access an item in the trunk, the 104S folds easily out of the way with one hand. Bundled with a patented individual tie-down system that secures and protects your bikes, the 104S comes with a lifetime warranty.
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 shortly afterward. 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 sells products in more than a dozen countries around the world.

| 15 of 17 people found the following review helpful  One weak link, This review is from: Allen 104S Premium 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack (Sports) I purchased a Allen 104S Premium 4 Bike rack and was pleased with the product when in arrived from Greenfish Adventure Sports. The rack was well built and easy to use.My problem is the buckles that hold the main mounting straps tight on the car are not strong enough. I traveled about 140 miles when I heard a loud crack and looked in my mirror to see the bikes and the rack swaying back and forth. One of the buckles had broke and the other one was bent. I pulled over and tied the mouning straps on to the bike rack and had no other problems. If you purchase one - use the buckles, but also tie the straps fast in case the buckles break. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful  Still a problem, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Allen 104S Premium 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack (Sports) I read the first review and could not believe that it could happen again, so I ordered the same item. The condition of the box was so torn up,re-taped, damaged and repacked that I was not shocked to find the item inside used and damaged.I called Amazon and they had another sent out. This one also was NOT new. The paint was chippedthe rack scratched up, the foam crushed. Thankfully Amazon is so great about these things. BUT unless they get a new vendor--do not order it from their 'prime' source. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful Arrived used and damaged, By Sierra Kelly (New England) - See all my reviews This review is from: Allen 104S Premium 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack (Sports) It's the first time I've had to return a product purchased on Amazon. The box arrived and it had obviously been returned once before as the box was torn and re-taped. One of the arms was bent and the product was dirty.It seemed flimsy as well, so whoever used it last probably didn't have to do much to damage it. Returned again. Beware. |
