Allen Sports USA Premier S-103 3‑Bike Trunk‑Mounted Bicycle Carrier — Black
Want a no-nonsense way to ferry three bikes without faffing about? The Premier S-103 is a trunk‑mounted carrier built to get you on the road quickly and safely. It arrives fully assembled, so there’s no messing with bolts or a manual — clip it on, tighten the straps and you’re off.
Quick benefits
Practical features that actually make a difference: a patented quick‑snap setup for speedy installation, dual‑compound tie‑down cradles that hold each bike gently but firmly, and a padded lower frame to help protect your paintwork. The new wide‑profile snap‑on feet spread the load, reducing pressure points — handy for older cars or softer finishes.
What to expect and typical uses
This rack is ideal for day trips, a weekend spin with mates or a family ride out. It’s aimed at people who want something reliable without a faff. It fits most saloons, hatchbacks, MPVs and SUVs, but it’s wise to check how the straps sit on unusual boot shapes before a long journey. No special tools are required and, being fully assembled, it’s quick to fit and remove — perfect for spontaneous plans.
- Compatibility: designed for most cars with a boot or tailgate. Always check strap routing and any vehicle restrictions first.
- Protection: padded lower frame and dual‑compound cradles minimise scratching and rubbing between bikes and the car.
- Stability: left and right side straps improve lateral stability whether you’re on the motorway or country lanes.
- Convenience: fully assembled with quick‑snap feet for fast setup and removal — great when you’re in a hurry.
- Weight and size: compact when not in use and light enough to handle easily; product dimensions 34.5 x 12 x 74 cm and weight approximately 5.87 kg.
Practical notes and care
The carrier is made to carry three bikes, but exact combined weight limits depend on your vehicle’s specification, so have a quick look in the vehicle handbook if you’re unsure. Always use the supplied tie‑downs and check strap tension before you set off. If your car has a protruding spoiler or an unusual boot shape, take an extra minute to make sure the straps sit correctly and the rack sits flat.
To keep things ship‑shape, wipe down straps and padded areas after muddy rides and store the rack in a dry place when not in use. Regularly inspect straps and fittings for wear — a quick check goes a long way.
