Allen Sports Deluxe 542QR 4 Quick Release Towbar Bicycle Carrier

Great product very well built and engineered although a little on the weighty side. Would recommend.

Excellent product, very pleased

The item would have been very useful except that it did not attach to my ball hitch tow bar. This was not made clear in the item information. I had to return the carrier for a full refund.It is called a quick release towbar bike carrier. Maybe I am stupid but I call my ball hitch a towbar and thought this item would attach. Pity because I really wanted this to work.

BUYER BE AWARE - THIS DOESN'T SUIT A BALL HITCH - designed for 2" receiver hitch.Can't really say much, the one I received was broken, but to be fair Amazon took it back & funded return postage too. Plenty of steel used, seems sturdy.

Great bike carrier. Folds up nicely when not in use and sets diwn with removal of one pon to unload.

This rack was easy to assemble and mount to my vehicle. I have only tried three bikes so far. It is sturdy enough. This is basic rack that seems to be well built for occasional use and for shorter trips. It should meet our needs fine. If you have more expensive bikes, will use it often or need to travel long distances, it might be worth investing in a higher end rack. If mostly for short local trips every now and again, this should be good value. Only had it a couple of weeks.

It is very durable. No issue carrying a heavy electric bike and a normal one. I am sure it can take more. It is easy to mount - dismount. I expect the keylock in winter conditions will have an issue but so far so good. The risk of scratching the car is much less as there is enough space between the bikes and the trunk door. I also liked that the bikes behind the car don't create noise while driving at high speed (unlike if they are put on top of the vehicle).

Excelente producto, materiales de buena calidad

Bought this bike rack because we were going on a road trip & wanted to bring the bikes for more outdoor things to do. I am also always bringing the bikes back & forth to our campground & having to load them into the bed of the truck can be annoying. When I was looking at the reviews for this product I saw a bunch that were geared towards SUVs & only a couple for pickup trucks. Here's my review after taking one test drive with this bike rack.1st I have to say it was easy to assemble & seems pretty durable. I liked how the rack folds down & then can be moved away from the tailgate. When I lowered the gate it does rest on the bike rack & I wouldn't recommend standing on the tailgate while it's resting on the rack, but it does allow you to get the Tonneau cover off if you have one. From there you can climb into the bed of the truck. The 1st time I did this it was without bikes, so it was rather easy. Once I got back from our 20 minute test drive I tried lowering the bike rack down with 4 bikes on (pic attached). You might want to have 2 people for this since the rack is pretty heavy with all the bikes & needed some pressure to get the pin out. Also I recommend having someone guide the bikes down so they don't slam. In the end it worked, but will take a little bit more effort. Yes, raising the rack back into place is more difficult, but it can be done.Now the process of actually putting the bikes on. My one boy's bike is oddly shaped. Of course this was the 1st bike I tried to put on and it was a bit of a challenge. That is until I figured out that the mounts for the bikes rotate, which turned out to be a huge benefit. Once I got it figured out I was able to secure the bike nicely to the rack. I have attached a pic of how I had to rotate it & turn it upside-down. This also turned out to be benficial for the other bikes since they're all shaped a bit different & being able to rotate the area they mount allowed for the bikes to be secured well. I read that some bike racks need a bar for bikes, like female angled bars, to be attached correctly, but I didn't have an issue putting all 4 bikes on.Once the bikes were on and secure I used a tie down strap to secure all the front wheels. This would keep the handlebars from moving & swaying during travel. Now we set off on the 20 minute drive from our campground back home. The road getting out of the campground is a bit bumpy, but I didn't have any issues with the bikes. The remainder of the ride was mostly highway, going about 75 mph. The bike rack & bikes held up great!Finally, the security feature. I really like that I can lock the rack into the hitch. It was easy to tighten & seemed to do a good job at securing it. That doesn't keep somone from stealing the bikes off of it though. What I did was bought a 15' security cable & lock. I wound the cable around the bikes & used the lock to secure it to the hitch. I feel with both these measures out bikes should be pretty safe.At this time I give this bike rack a 5 star rating. If for some reason I have anything to add/change I will update this review. We are about to go on a road trip (about 3000 miles) so I should know more about it's durability then.UPDATE: This thing went 4000 miles without a single issue. At times the speed limit was 80 mph & I was worried after seeing some reviews about the arm bars bending. Well this thing is a tank & I highly recommend!
