The Allen Premier 4-capacity was specifically engineered to withstand the extra forces present when hauling four bikes on the back of a car.Īs additional upgrades, the Premier features a”quick snap” set-up that makes it easier to fold and unfold than the Deluxe. While the Thule Passage and the Saris Bones also have a wide base, they are not available in a 4-capacity rack. With better weight distribution comes better stability, which is essential for those who want to haul 4 bikes. As an upgrade from the Allen Deluxe, the Premier features rubber cradle straps (instead of nylon) and a wider profile to better distribute the weight of the bikes on the trunk. Those who want an affordable, easy-to-use trunk rack with time-saving upgrades. The extra stability in the wider base of other racks, will help to minimize sway and bounce, especially with heavier loads.įEATURES: Rotating cradles with rubber straps, durable rubber mounting feet, wider baseĬOMPLETE REVIEW: Allen Premier Trunk Mount The narrow bars of the Deluxe do not distribute the bikes’ weight on the trunk as well as racks with wider bars, such as the Thule Passage. Those who want to carry several large, heavy bikes. Although it doesn’t have nicer features like rubber cradle straps (found on the Allen Premier, Thule, and Saris), it easily and securely gets the job done for almost half the price as other racks. The Allen Deluxe is also a sought-after option for those on a budget. The Deluxe’s narrow support bars, paired with Allen’s unique twisting cradles, allow you to mount small and odd -framed bikes via the top tube, down tube, or even the seat tube of the bike’s frame! This wide range of adjustability also allows bikes to be loaded without adapter bars, saving you time and money. With narrower-set support bars compared to other racks, the Allen Deluxe (as well as the Ultra Compact) were the only trunk racks we tested that could fit a 16″ and 20″ bike without an adaptor bar.
The Allen Sports Deluxe Trunk Mount Rack is a solid choice for those who want to carry kids bikes 16″ and larger. STANDOUT FEATURES: Fits most 16″ and 20″ bikes without an adapter bar, rotating cradles to fit more bikes, great value for a low priceĬOMPLETE REVIEW: Allen Sports Deluxe Trunk Mount CAPACITY: 2 – 4, compatible with most 16″ bikes
