Deal Alert: Save $100 on This Top-Rated Bike Rack

If there was such a thing as a post–Memorial Day doorbuster, this would be it. Amazon has a deal going where you can save 67% on a top-rated bike rack from Allen Sports. Normally $150, the price has been slashed down to just $49. Need some assurance this isn’t some crappy rack? More than 2800 reviews give it those coveted five stars. Not too shabby.

So what’s so great about this bike rack? First, it’s easy to set up and install—Allen Sports claims it can be done in under five minutes. The rack can carry up to three bikes (or 105 pounds), which are secured with a patented individual tie-down cradle system. If you need to open the hatch—even with the bikes attached—the rack’s main mast tilts down and away so you can access what you need. When you’re not using it to haul bikes, the arms fold down and out of the way.

The bike rack is compatible with both 1 1/4- and two-inch hitches, and it comes with a no-wobble bolt to keep it from, well, wobbling. However, there have been some mixed reviews on the proper function of this bolt—so if you need some extra stability, grab this hitch stabilizer for around $10.

Another thing to consider: Just about anyone can pull the bolt from your hitch and enjoy their new, free bike rack. We recommend getting a locking receiver pin, like this one from Master Lock. Yes, it will add a bit extra to your overall cost, but you can’t be too safe—this ensures the rack will stay with your vehicle, even while you’re away. Without the pin, the rack is bolted in—making it a pain to remove when not in use. Some states even have laws about driving with an empty bike rack, so make sure you research your state’s protocol first.

All in all, this is a super deal, and just in time for some summer biking. With the ability to be used in both 1 1/4- and 2-inch hitches, carry three bikes, and tilt back for trunk access, it’s a fantastic option for new buyers or, if you’re an old pro, a perfect chance to upgrade. And don’t forget Father’s Day is coming up—if Dad bikes, this is a great gift. With a deal this good, we don’t know how long it’ll last, though, so pick up this rack before it’s gone!
