One drawback to most trailer hitch mounted bicycle racks is they won’t fit if you have a rear mounted spare tire. Allen has created a solution for this with the 542rr. Below are some of the features this model offers:
Plenty of Room for Four Bikes
This 4 bike carrier has ample room to carry something for everyone. With 22″ Carrying arms the Allen rack gives enough room for your bikes to safely ride.
Individual Bike Cradles
Unlike some systems each bike has its own cradle. This helps to keep your favorite frame in place. By keeping it in place you reduce the chance of damaging yours or others bikes.
Superman Material
Just like the man of steel this carrier is ruggedly built. Able to withstand long rides and heavy bikes you’ll know it will save the day.
Powder Coat Finish
Just as the carrier is made of steel the powder coat finish helps protect it too. Resistant to scratches and dings, the finish helps to keep your rack looking good for years to come.
Patented Single Key Release System
Not much fumbling around trying to release the post on this puppy. Quickly tilt it down to gain access to your gear. Although it is specially made with rear spare tire mounts in mind, it does not swing very far. Sorry Jeep Wrangler owners, you won’t have room to swing the gate out.
Patented Tie Down Strap
Allen made a specially designed strap to give the best security available. No need to worry about your bike bouncing off the back while going down a mountain back road.
2 Inch Mount
This model only comes available for two inch receivers.
Light Weight And Easily Moved
Even though it’s made of steel it is still light enough for most adults and many children to handle. Coming in a 27.2 pounds this rack can be easily moved from between vehicles or back and forth to the garage.
Although not as popular a brand as other hitch racks, this is a great unit for rear spare vehicles.
