Allen Sports Deluxe 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack with 1-2 Inch Receiver, Silver/Black
@ Carry up to two bicycles on road trips or camping excursions with the Allen two-bike carrier hitch. The hitch insert–which fits 1-1/4- and 2-inch receiver hitches–is easy to operate and super secure for your bikes. Just attach it to your hitch, then use the tie-down cradle system to individually secure and protect the bikes. The carry arm accommodates a wide range of frame sizes and designs, so you can carry your kid-size mountain bike or adult road bike with equal confidence. And you don’t have to remove your bikes to access the back of your truck or SUV, as the rack tilts back for easy lift-gate access and folds out of the way completely when not in use. Also equipped with a no-wobble bolt to keep the rack from moving inside the hitch, the two-bike carrier is colored with a black powder-coated finish.

|Excellent for transporting our MTB,
I am sure with all of these additional items, the bikes will be safely secured to the rack and will surely eliminate any free swinging of the bikes, tires and prevent any dings to the bikes as well.
Update 7/22: We finally had a chance to take our new MTB on the road with the bike rack working very nicely as expected. I didn’t need to use any Bungee Cords but I did use a few velcro straps to secure the bikes to the rack and to each other in order to avoid any swinging and bumping of the bikes to the rack and to each other.
These velcro straps are awesome and did their job fantastically. The rack was able to hold the bikes with no issues and the tie down straps that come with the rack do serve their purpose even though they are not the rubber type straps that you will find and see on the more expensive racks.
BTW, the MTB we purchased are Diamondback 27.5 Sorrento’s with small size for my wife and the large size for me. Both bikes fitted nicely on the racks but you do have to set them up in reverse direction on the rack since the handle bars would prevent you to mount them in the same direction. The anti-movement pin that comes with the rack is effective and did not have any movement of the rack while transporting the bikes.
One last thing … I came up with a “MacGyver” solution to prevent the bike closest to the vertical metal part of the rack from dinging the bike by using some unused quilting batting from my wife’s quilting locker which I wrap around the rack’s vertical pole and even used a couple of the velcro straps to keep it in place.
My “MacGyver” design and solution is working just fine and I don’t intend to ever transport the bikes in the rain but if the batting does need to be replaced for whatever reason, I can always raid my wife’s quilting locker for some additional batting :-).
You just cannot beat the price (we paid $99) of this rack for its functionality and craftsmanship especially if you have limited funds to otherwise purchase a more expensive model and brand.
