Deluxe 4 Bike carrier for 2" Hitch Vehicals with spare tire
Amazon.com Product Description
Specifically designed for vehicles with externally mounted spare tires, the Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack allows you to carry your bicycles securely and avoid the hassles of piled bikes or high threshold rooftop mounts. Fitting vehicles with an external spare tire and 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 four bikes in the 22-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.

| 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful  Fits where others don't...period., By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack for Vehicles with Rear Mounted Spare Tire (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports) I looked everywhere for a receiver hitch bike rack that would fit my Jeep Liberty. Nothing..I mean nothing would work with the external spare tire. I went to a local "Rack Warehouse" and tried EVERY rack he had and none of them fit without hitting the tire. We spent an hour switching out units...nothing. He said "I usually have some Allen racks in stock, but I'm out right now". I went home and started sufing Amazon. They always come through. The description even said "for vehicles with rear mounted spare tires". I ordered it up, low and behold it fits perfect. I have about 2 inches of clearance between the tire and rack. All steel construction. Feels solid. Daddy likes. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful Good, but problems with Jeep Wrangler, By jlloyd50 (Wyoming) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack for Vehicles with Rear Mounted Spare Tire (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports) I bought this for my 2009 Jeep Wrangler and with the standard size spare tire on the trunk can only be opened about 6 inches because the thing doesn't drop low enough, but aside from that the thing's great, very sturdy and seems like it will hold up all right. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful Solid bike rack that accommodates a spare tire, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack for Vehicles with Rear Mounted Spare Tire (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports) I bought this rack to go on a Jeep JK Rubicon. It leaves plenty of room for the factory spare and could probably accommodate up to a 35" tire easily. The construction is great! Feels very rigid without any noticeable play or rattle between components. Good cushioning for the bike where it makes contact with the bike. You may want to buy some self stick cushioned pads to put on the vertical support to keep it from rubbing against your bikes frame, but that was only a $2 quick fix. The locking mechanisms for the actual rack and the break-away to allow lift-gate access seem solid and are easy to operate. On my Jeep the tailgate swings open rather than a hatch-back and the rack only allows room to swing it open enough to grab a backpack. On a hatchback style rear door full access shouldn't be a problem. The only change I would have made to the rack is to have made it possible to lower the rack to full horizontal for tailgate access on my Jeep. |
