Allen Premier 2-Bike Hitch Rack Features
Quick Fold Carry Arms
Allen Premier Hitch Racks incorporate an easy fold arm design which allow the carry arms on the racks to be dropped out of the way when not in use by simply squeezing the two red release buttons on the carrier.
Quick Secure Straps And Dual Compound Cradles
Durable, UV resistant rubber cradle straps quickly secure your bicycle in place and work with a wide range of tube sizes. The tie-downs include a soft cradle bed to fully protect your bicycles during transport.
Rapid Tilt-Away Mast
Allen Premier Hitch Racks feature an easy to use rapid tilt away main mast. A rugged internal mechanism keeps the rack securely in place during use, but allows for single handed tilt-away if you need access to the inside of your vehicle.
Dual Compound Spine Shield
Allen's Dual Compound Spine Shield snaps in place over the vertical mast on your rack and offers a soft gray landing pad to protect the inner-most bicycle during transport.
Dick Allen (pictured left in 1972) started Allen Sports in his garage in 1967. Since its founding, the company has been committed to producing the highest-quality, easiest-to-use bike racks and bicycle related products on the market. Dick, a onetime aerospace engineer, opened Allen Sports after building a prototype bike carrier in his Lincoln, Massachusetts shop in his free time. The first ever trunk-mounted bicycle carrier--made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding) - was refined on weekend excursions to Cape Cod. Shortly afterward, Allen took his design to market, and by 1971 had established a national presence for his product.
Today, the family owned company owns more than three dozen patents, operates four warehouses nationally, six factories abroad, and sells products in countries around the world including USA, Mexico, Canada, and China.
Allen Sports Premier Hitch Mounted 2-bike carrier mounts quickly and easily to your 2" or 1 1/4" trailer hitch. The arms "snap" into place right out of the box. Allen's new dual-compound cradle system securely holds your bicycles in place and the rack's large padded Spine Shield protects your bicycles as well. In addition to the easy folding arms on this rack, the new innovative internal tilt-away release makes it a snap to access your vehicle's rear lift gate. The powder-coated rack installs in just minutes with a no-wobble bolt and an integrated locking loop offers a place to secure your bikes.
