Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this rack fit my car?
Compatibility is vehicle-specific. Please visit the official Allen Sports website and use their fitment guide to confirm your vehicle model.
Can I open the trunk while the rack is installed?
It is not recommended to open the trunk with the rack installed, as the weight of the carrier and bikes can damage your vehicle's liftgate supports.
How do I secure the bikes to prevent theft?
While the rack holds bikes securely, it does not include locking mechanisms. We recommend using a separate cable lock to secure the bikes to the vehicle frame.
Can this carrier handle e-bikes?
This carrier is designed for standard bicycles. E-bikes are typically too heavy for trunk-mounted racks; please check the weight capacity of the carrier against your bike's weight.
Will this scratch my car's paint?
The carrier includes padded lower frames designed to protect the vehicle finish. Ensure the mounting surfaces are clean of grit and dirt before installation.
Troubleshooting
Rack feels unstable or shifts during driving
Verify that the lateral side straps are fully tightened and that the top hooks are seated firmly in the trunk seams.
Bike frame does not fit into the cradle
Consider using an Allen Sports crossbar adapter if your bike features a non-standard frame geometry.
Straps loosen over time
Check the buckle tension before every trip and ensure straps are not twisted in the mounting hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your vehicle's trunk or hatch is clean to prevent the padded frame from grinding dirt into the finish. Use the quick-snap mechanism to latch the rack according to the orientation specified for your vehicle type. Regularly inspect the straps for signs of wear or fraying, especially after heavy use. Always confirm your specific car model on the Allen Sports website before your first installation, as some vehicle spoilers may interfere with the straps. When not in use, store the carrier in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
