Question:	Hi there I would like to know if it comes with the rear wheel cup holder
Answer:	It may work. The straps will only work for a 32” or smaller tire I believe. The weight of the truck will determine if it exceeds the rating of this item?

User questions & answers

Question:	So this is a weird question, but I'd like to take my bicycle with me on my commute. Can I lock my bicycle to the bike rack using a typical bike lock
Answer:	Some people are suggesting locking the bike to the car with a cable. It should be noted that ANY cable, even the thickest and most secure ones on the market, can be cut in seconds. A cable of any type is, at best, a deterrent to the casual thief. A serious thief loves cables because they are so easily cut. If you have an expensive bike, the only option worth considering is a U-bolt type of lock. Simply remove your bike from the car rack and lock it to a post. Even U-bolts can be defeated but the time and tools required will send all but the most determined thief looking for easier prey, like a bike with a cable.
Question:	I have 2000$ bike, is it worth the risk
Answer:	It was fine for my $1,500 RadRover. It's good up to 70 pounds. What does your bike weigh?
Question:	How well does this work on a 2010 honda crv
Answer:	allensportsusa.com/fit-listgo to the allen sports fit list and check to see what is recommended for 2010 honda crv. If it is on the list and instructions are followed when installing, there shouldn't be any problems.
Question:	Hi guys is it good for volvo suv xc90? does it easy for woman to put the bikes up herself
Answer:	This rack (or any strap mounted carrier) should not be used on the Volvo XC models. The issue is that the top of the rear door on the XC's is made of extremely brittle fiberglass that can crack if anything (i.e. metal hooks or bike rack straps) is placed in the seem at the top of the rear door. We would recommend installing a receiver hitch on your vehicle and using a hitch mounted carrier.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it fit a 2017 Subaru Outback
Answer:	That 100% depends on your skill level and on the types of waves you will be surfing. Typically when you are beginners you want a board that is nice and long to learn on but not too long to maneuver. The 8’ or 8’8” would both work well.
Question:	Will this fit a 2012 Buick Enclave
Answer:	Not on the 2 I own.
Question:	Will this fit my 2016 crv
Answer:	Board, fins and leash. It’s all you need to hit the waves
Question:	Will this product work safely with a 2012 chrysler town & country limited edition
Answer:	Can’t really go wrong , all these boards are great for beginners, but the 7’ board is probably a really good all around and fun board to have at your size. Good float / paddle abilities yet also small enough to maneuver for a beginner. Happy surfing!

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it hold all types of bike frames
Answer:	The hole on the rack for the hitch pin is 1/2". This is designed to work with the No Wobble Bolt that is included with the rack. This bolt works to securely tighten the rack when installed on the vehicle and keeps the rack from moving during use.
Question:	On a sedan, is the trunk space rendered useless when you use this ? Can you open close trunk as usual
Answer:	The brackets that the straps are attached to rotate around the rack arms, making it fairly easy once you figure out the best position. I actually had 3 women's bikes on the rack with no problems. The straps were on the diagonal bar and the vertical bar below the seat and it was very tight, no movement at all. No issues with women's bikes at all here.
Question:	Is there any sort of anti-theft device? Can someone just walk up and take it off if the car is parked
Answer:	If you are talking about leaving the bikes, we purchased the doberman lock and secured the bikes and lock to the straight pole on back, we have two to interweave between the bike wheels and the pole. We also brought a locking pin for the hitch. Never had a problem, we have left them on there while down the shore, on bike trails while we walk or go to get something to eat.
Question:	What kind of attachment do you need for a woman's bike
Answer:	On the current version (2016 and newer) hitch racks, the carry arms are 11.5" apart on center. This translates to an outside dimension of approximately 13"

About us

Allen Sports has been trusted by outdoor enthusiasts. Allen began his career working on aerospace technology for the Apollo program, until government cutbacks eliminated his job in 1967. That’s when the Harvard-trained physicist embarked on a new mission, transforming his hobby into a brand new industry. A cycling enthusiast and inventor, Allen wanted a way to carry bikes on his car for weekend trips around New England with his family. He was tired of hassling with twine and dinging up his car, so he set out to create a better solution - not only for himself, but also for the growing market he foresaw.

User questions & answers

Question:	Anybody try this on a 2006 Ford Escape? I'm having trouble tightening the bottom strap
Answer:	Since no one has answered your question I'll take a shot at it. There may have a few causes for "... trouble tightening the bottom strap" assuming it means the rack is not snug, . Make sure the strap is threaded correctly through the buckle so it will grip, not slip when tightened and tie it off around the strap as further assurances it will not slip. The bottom strap may loosen up when the bike is put on the rack so either apply some downward force on the rack or put the bike on the rack before tightening the bottom strap.
Question:	Will this fit my 2019 Toyota Camry sedan
Answer:	Yes, as long it doesn’t have a foil. Go to Allen Sports web site look up theUltra Compact Folding 1 and it will show all vehicles that are compatible.
Question:	if my bike weighs a little more than 35lb, around 38lb for example, will the rack work? will the pedal scratch my car
Answer:	yes, I don't see the 3lbs as an issue at all. Install so the weight is evenly distributed. As far as the pedals, my bike does not scatch, the mount offsets the pedals.
Question:	Are there any scratches resulting from this bike rack? I see there are metal hooks that hook the top of the trunk and underneath the... car? Thank you
Answer:	The hooks are coated with a resin that seems like a semi-hard polyester. You can also put some electrical tape on them to soften the touch. I haven't had any scratching, but if I were driving my brand new $445,000 Lamborghini instead of my 10 year old $6000 Ford Escape, I might hesitate to use this rack.
