Allen Sports Deluxe 3-Bike Trunk-Mounted Bicycle Carrier – Black

Want an easy, no-nonsense way to take three bikes along for the day? The Allen Sports Deluxe 3-bike trunk-mounted carrier is exactly that — simple to fit, ready to use and built for getting bikes from A to B without faff. It comes fully assembled, so you can clip it onto the boot in minutes rather than wrestling with fiddly bits. It’s made to suit most saloons, hatchbacks, minivans and SUVs, so it’s a handy bit of kit for weekend rides, family days out or a quick dash to the trailhead.

easy to fit and use

The single-configuration design keeps things straightforward — fewer parts to lose and a much quicker install. The 15-inch carry arms give a sensible gap between bikes, while individual tie-downs secure each frame and wheel. A padded lower frame sits against the vehicle to help prevent scratches and paint damage — a proper bonus if your car’s new or you like to keep it tidy.

what to expect on the road

• Secure straps and tie-downs keep bikes stable on everyday roads — give them a quick check after the first few miles and whenever you stop.
• Works well with most standard bike frames; unusual frame shapes or very wide handlebars might need a little adjustment so bikes don’t touch.
• Not intended for permanent storage — remove the rack when it’s not in use to avoid unnecessary strain on straps or fittings.

use cases and quick advice

• Brilliant for short trips to the park, ad-hoc rides with mates or ferrying the kids’ bikes to a meet-up.
• If you’re carrying heavier e-bikes or hefty touring bikes, check each bike’s weight against the rack and think about a towbar-mounted or platform rack instead.
• Make sure there’s enough boot clearance and that your number plate and lights remain visible when the rack’s fitted — road rules vary, so double-check locally.

People often ask about carbon frames or high-value bikes — yes, the rack will hold them, but take care with straps and padding to avoid pressure points or rubbing. All in all, it’s a practical, lightweight and straightforward choice for getting up to three bikes where they need to go without too much bother.
