About Allen Sports
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 thoroughly tested 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.
Product Description
Allen's new Premier line of trunk and spare tire mounted carriers deliver all of the ease of use of our patented quick-set up design, along with our new dual compound tie-down cradles to fully secure and protect your bicycles. Our new wide profile snap on feet (except on our spare tire model) help to fully distribute the load of your bicycles on your vehicle. Allen's Premier series of racks are packed full of innovative features derived of our nearly 50 years of manufacturing rear mounted bicycles.

I contact Allen Sports several times to ask for a refund or replaced with a better-designed rack that would not risk breaking my window and they were extremely rude and refused to call me to discuss the issue.
I am so frustrated right now! I have a useless rack that is dangerous and destructive. While, the company did exchange the straps, they would not address the larger issue of the rack design that left me with a broken window minutes before heading out on a week's vacation. I had to drive with plastic over my rear window. It was dangerous and inconvenient. While I got the window replaced, it did not resolve the issue with the rack. I am now afraid to use it.
Allen Sports could easily call me to resolve this but they have only sent curt emails saying "I am not sure what would have caused the broken rear window" when I told them repeatedly it was the design of the rack. I hesitated to write this because I wanted to give them an opportunity to address the issue, but after waiting a week for them to call me, I can only throw my hands up in frustration.
If you are a company trying to do right by your customers, you call them and address their concerns. That simple. Allen Sports doesn't seem interested in their customers and so I cannot recommend you purchase this, or any other Allen Sports products.
Buyer beware. This is not a rack that can accommodate three bikes and is so poorly designed it risks damaging your car!
Ultimately, we repositioned supplied straps to the door sides*, - and more importantly - used a ratchet strap around the circumference of the spare tire, looping the strap around the bracket top pieces. Allen would do well to include a ratchet strap with sewn loops to assure stability.
* Attaching the supplied straps to the door sides in combination with a ratchet strap around the circumference of the tire results in the ability to open the door with bikes fully secured.
