Allen 104S Premium 4 Bike Trunk Mount Rack – Reviews

I was pleased with how this bike rack worked – it securely held 3 kid bikes and 1 adult bike for our car trip from NJ to WV – 6 1/2 hours on our Toyota Sienna minivan. There were no issues and we look forward to being able to bring our bikes on more road trips. I also was impressed with the Amazon customer service – I needed the bike rack to arrive by Wednesday and pay for the speed shipping – and boom it arrived and was installed that very night for our trip. I would recommend this product and the amazon service.

I ordered this rack because it was the only one I could find that SAID you could load 4 bikes on it. If you put 4 bikes on they will get damaged as there is not enough room. As well they do not tell you that a standard ladies 48cm bike will not fit on without buying a special crossbar adapter.
In the end I had to return the rack as it did not meet my needs. It was well made, easy to install and a hassle free return method. I would certainly buy again from Amazon and probably from Allen Bike Racks but not before alot of questions.

I was trying to decide between this model and the Allen 104DB. I’m glad went with this model. It has and additional 2 inches room to load the bikes. They went in snug and may have been problematic if it was tighter. I traveled between NYC and Quebec City Canada (Approx 400 miles) and all 4 bikes remained secure. Same is to be said on the return trip.

A couple of issues kept me from giving it 5 Stars:
1. On one outing the straps became just a tad loose and when taking a turn the bikes swung enough where the rack made a tiny dent in on my rear door (Subaru 2003 Wagon). If it remained tightened properly this would not have occurred. This could have been my fault. The return trip of 9 hours proved flawless.
2. After loading the bikes, the instructions fail to tell you to re-tighten the bottom straps. MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS. The weight of the bikes creates slack.
3. The rack itself appears to be sturdy. The plastic sleeves separating the ties less so. But still no issues to report.
4. If at all possible try to rest the bottom arm of the rack on the top of your bumper. If you watch their video online they show it resting on the rear door itself. I did this and when the straps came loose, the dent happened. It would not been an issue if it rested properly on the bumper.
5. This item is made in China. For $150, they could be making it here.

I’m glad I bought this unit over the 104db. The addition room and easier installation mechanisms make it worth the extra $35.
