AllenSports Deluxe+ Locking Quick Release 4-Bike Carrier for 2 in. Hitch, Model 840QR, Black

Long road trip at 80+ mph the entire way. Needed a semi-long term solution to transport bikes as we use them a handful of times a year. Compared a bunch of options. This met/exceeded expectations. Great bang for your buck.Deciding criteria:+sturdy design, no flimsy bits like some others+can lock it into place+fit up to 4 bikes+easily collapsableReason for not buying the next level upgrade? I don't need to lock each bike individually. this model doesn't have individual locks, just straps. so.. i used a bike lock. problem solved.

Just got this rack delivered and within 20 mins we had it on our car and we’re headed off to a bike trail. Easy to install/setup, strong, easy to use, easy to access tune of my mini van, etc. I love that it locks onto my car so I don’t have to worry about anyone stealing it. I easily fit 3 adult bikes on it today and I have plenty of room for a 4th bike when we are ready. So far I love everything about this bike rack. The only thing I could think that could improve it is if the bikes could actually be locked onto the rack somehow. Just a little strap doesn’t seem very secure to me for our expensive bikes.

I’ve used this bike rack for a season now, it has performed well. Love the fold down feature for the horizontal bike holder and it tips out of the way to open the back door of the SUV. I found it easy to assemble. The only thing I do is add a Velcro strap over the bike tie straps for that little bit of added security when carting bikes on the highway, around town I just use the straps that come with the rack. Use a bungy to keep the bike from rocking. Seems like a good sturdy bike rack, hope to have it for many years.

I would have taken a photo had I remembered.I bought this rack to transport four bicycles on a 10-hr, one-way, road trip. It held three adult bikes and one adolescent bike. Easy to assemble, and easy to install. It was solid, with very little moving while driving. The reason I only give four stars has to do with the spacing of each set of holders...fours bikes is a lot to put on a rack, and bike orientations have to be alternated to make it work. If there was a tad bit more space between holders, it would make it easier.But, for the price...compared to a 4-bike rack from a competitor that costs over $1000.00, this works very well.

Bought this for BMX bikes. It took us a minute to figure out getting it together and on the car, but overall very pleased. I feel like it's well made and not worried about the bikes bike there. I love how you can flip it down when you are not using it and the easy open to get into the back of the car. Overall use weekly and would purchase again.

This is a great bike carrier. No complains and I would 100% recommend it to a friend.

I only needed a rack for 2 bikes but I figured I'd future proof myself and get the 4 bike model. So far I'm very happy with it. It was easy to set up, took maybe 5 minutes. It fit into the hitch receiver perfectly. My only gripe with it is the strap system, it uses the backpack type strap adjusters which don't seem very secure with a lot of vibration. But haven't had an issue with them yet. The arms holding the bikes fold down and you can lean the rack back to gain access to your trunk.

I have a Subaru Ascent, and this bike rack works perfectly with it! I did have a little difficulty getting it off the hitch for the first time, but probably because the piece was stiff since it was newer. I have an older non hitch carrier that had plastic click straps to hold the bikes in place (think the straps for inline skates), and this carrier has the straps made out of a different material, which I feel like the plastic straps felt more secure to me, but this could be a better option from R&D, I'm not sure. I love that the bike holder opens enough to let me have trunk access!! It is perfect! I highly suggest.
