Allen Sports Deluxe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack, Model 102DN-R, Black

I bought this primarily to carry two bikes on a cross-country trip from NY to CA, and it worked exceedingly well on my 2025 Honda CR-V. Set up/installation was a breeze. It performed perfectly with no issues at all the entire drive. For long trips, it’s smart to check the straps at each stop and retighten if needed, but that’s true for any bike rack, even the expensive ones. I also recommend tying off the straps near the buckle to help from loosening and so they don’t flap in the wind. I also used simple Velcro straps to keep the tires from moving or spinning, and adding heavy fabric or leather scratch protectors anywhere the rack or bikes touch the car. Those small extras made everything even more secure. The rack folds down for easy storage when not in use. High recommend!

Great Bike Rack for the Price! I used this Allen Sport trunk rack for a couple of trips and it worked perfectly. It’s easy to install, holds two bikes securely, and fits well . The straps feel strong and the rack stays stable even on longer drives. Great value and very convenient!

Perfect for a single bike. Relatively quick setup. If you’re not careful though when taking 2 mtb’s you will scratch your outer forks and brakes\levers. I recommend covering your fork and brakes/levers with a clean microfiber and Velcro strap before loading 2nd bike to minimize scratching. It’s a pretty tight fit with 2 mtb but overall it’s a secure system, was going 80mph down the freeway with 2 mtb’s and it held up. Fits easy in a sedans trunk when it’s not being used. Would definitely recommend for shorter trips, and for the price it’s a good product. 👍🏻

1-year update: So far, so good! Still using this bike rack, no complaints. Original review: Ok, I don't usually write reviews, but I had to review this one. I was really worried about buying a bike rack for my transcontinental trip (7,000 miles coast-to-coast and many places in-between). I had nightmares of my bike falling off my car on the highway. But I took a chance and got this modestly-priced bike rack over a well-known, expensive brand like Thule, because I don't have that kind of money. I AM SO HAPPY. Not only was my bike rock-solid secure on the rack (with the help of locks and bungee cords, of course), and the rack extremely secure on my car (straps didn't budge an inch while in motion), but this bike rack can take anything. I drove up Pike's Peak in Colorado (14,000+ mountain), across the rain-soaked plains, over the Rocky Mountains, in crazy hot temperatures, in cool temperatures, in dry and wet climates, at all levels of incline, at 90 MPH on Utah highways, on bumpy, crazy park roads, and more. I'm just so glad that my bike was safe. The rack itself is very easy to mount, and you can technically still open your truck when it's mounted (although it'll be awkwardly heavy). Takes less than a minute to get it on the car, and about ten seconds to get it off. The ONLY issue I could have with this rack is that the pads that protect your car from the metal rack showed some serious wear after what I put them through (which is understandable). It's possible some of it even rubbed/melted onto my car. There's a mark on my car that looks like what happens if you rubbed a big rubber eraser on it. Now, I haven't thoroughly washed my car since the trip, and I'm 99% sure that this mark will come up no problem. If it doesn't, I'll come back and bump this review to 2 stars (edit: the mark came off). Otherwise, I'm extremely pleasantly surprised. Usually you get what you pay for, but this bike rack is a steal at just under $35. I can't believe it survived my road trip. Plus, I just used it yesterday and this morning for an overnight trip. So easy, so good.

I've had this on my sedan for a year now. Still holds up, won't scratch your car up as long as you remove pedals facing the vehicle, and properly mount the bikes.

Needs: Great for occasional riders, families, or anyone needing a portable, easy-to-store rack for short trips. Sturdiness: Made from alloy steel, it’s surprisingly strong for its price. Holds up to 70 lbs total (35 lbs per bike) 1. Look: Basic black finish with a compact, foldable design. Not flashy, but clean and functional. Rust Resistance: Not fully rustproof—best stored indoors when not in use to extend life 1. Weight: Lightweight at 8.8 lbs, making it easy to carry and install 1. Ease of Removal: Very easy to attach and remove with its 5-strap system. No tools required2. Storage Capacity: Holds 2 bikes securely with 12-inch carry arms and tie-down straps. Works best with standard frame shapes 2. ⭐ Verdict A solid choice for budget-conscious riders who want a lightweight, easy-to-use rack for occasional use. Not ideal for long-distance travel or oddly shaped bike frames, but it gets the job done.

The Allen Sports trunk mount bike rack for two bikes is a decent option if you’re looking for something affordable and easy to use. Installation is fairly straightforward, and it holds the bikes securely for short trips. The rack is lightweight and easy to store when not in use. That said, there are a few downsides. The straps require careful adjustment, and you need to double-check them before every drive to make sure everything stays tight. It also lacks padding in some areas, so extra care is needed to avoid scratches on the car or bikes. For longer trips or highways, it doesn’t feel as stable as higher-end racks. Overall, it works well for occasional use and short distances, but if you plan to transport bikes frequently or on long trips, you may want to invest in a more robust option. Good value for the price, but with some limitations.
