Need an on-the-spot bike carrier but don’t want to carry a full-sized rack around? Turn to the Allen MT-1 ultra-compact one-bike carrier, which folds up small and fits in almost any bag, including your backpack. Ideal for traveling, commuting, and other occasions when a portable bike rack might come in handy, the rack is small yet secure, with three padded legs that rest against your vehicle and three adjustable straps that secure to your car’s hatchback or trunk gaps. Just as importantly, the rack holds your bike in a safe position thanks to the tie-downs and padding, which combine to keep your bike from rocking or making contact with your vehicle. And when you’re done using the rack, simply fold it up and store it inside the included carrying bag. The one-bike rack–which sports a gray powder-coated finish–is designed to fit sedans, hatchbacks, minivans, and SUVs.

Carry up to two bicycles on road trips or camping excursions with the Allen two-bike carrier hitch. The hitch insert–which fits 1-1/4- and 2-inch receiver hitches–is easy to operate and super secure for your bikes. Just attach it to your hitch, then use the tie-down cradle system to individually secure and protect the bikes. The carry arm accommodates a wide range of frame sizes and designs, so you can carry your kid-size mountain bike or adult road bike with equal confidence. And you don’t have to remove your bikes to access the back of your truck or SUV, as the rack tilts back for easy lift-gate access and folds out of the way completely when not in use. Also equipped with a no-wobble bolt to keep the rack from moving inside the hitch, the two-bike carrier is colored with a black powder-coated finish.
