Allen Trunk Bike Racks Review
Allen Trunk Racks vs Other Brands
There are a few unique benefits of choosing an Allen trunk rack, even over a more high-end rack.
(1) 4-Bike Capacity: The Allen Deluxe and Premier are the only 4-capacity trunk racks on the market. All other brands max out at 3 bikes.
(2) Independently Swiveling Cradles: Allen racks are the only trunk racks (that we know of), that allow the individual cradles to swivel.
(3) Adapter Bars and Vertical Clearance: The flexibility provided by Allen’s swivel cradles greatly reduces, or even prevents, the need for costly and finicky adaptor bars.
(4) Great Value: While more expensive racks have some better features, they don’t offer much more functionality.
(5) Narrow Support Bars: The Allen Deluxe and Ultra-Compact models have narrow-set support bars that allow smaller bikes to fit without adapter bars.
Allen Premier vs. Deluxe vs. Ultra Compact
So what are the primary differences between Allen’s three trunk bike racks?
Quality Level
The Allen Premiere Trunk Bike Rack is Allen’s most expensive trunk rack and boasts the most upgraded features.
The Deluxe and Ultra Compact are less expensive and more basic, and are pretty equivalent with each other.
Bike Capacity
The Premier and Deluxe have 2, 3, and 4 bike options.
The Ultra Compact has 1 bike and 2 bike options.
Base and rack arm width
The Premiere trunk rack has the widest base.
The Deluxe is the most narrow.
The Ultra Compact’s base width is right in the middle.
Strap Style
The Premier has rubber strap tie downs that make securing the bikes in the cradles a very quick process.
The Deluxe and Ultra Compact have nylon straps that work well, but take a bit longer to thread through and tighten.
Ease of Set-Up
All three Allen Racks fold to allow for easy storage but need to be unfolded before you can mount them to your car.
The Premier makes it easy as it snaps into place by simply lifting up on the support arms.
When unfolding the Ultra-Compact also pops into place via spring clips.
The Deluxe has cross supports that take some muscle to snap into the correct position.
Car Contact Points
The Premier features thick rubber vehicle pads to help prevent the trunk and or/bumper of the car from scratches or damage.
The Deluxe has foam protectors that are less likely to withstand the elements with time.
The Ultra-Compact also has rubber feet on the top, but they are narrower and not adjustable.
So Which Allen Trunk Bike Rack is best for you?
Although Allen’s three models share many features, which one is best for you (assuming they all fit your car) really depends on four things:
1. How many bikes do you want to carry?
2. Do you have limited space to store the rack when not in use?
3. Do you plan on carrying kids’ bikes with 20″ or 16″ wheels OR do you have a bike with an odd frame design (aka not the standard triangle tubing)?
4. Do you plan on carrying larger framed and/or heavier bikes?

Fantastic review
Thank you for watching and for your support!
Just purchased the banana gt for my 2 year old, thanks to your advice. Can’t wait for him to try it!
Let us know how he likes it!
Super helpful. I was hoping to see you mention the ability to open the trunk with the rack installed.
Hm
better, equipped and quality wise than any other chinese bicycle in this price category.
Videos like this make UA-cam such a gem. Great review and objective analysis. Thank you! Probabaky going with the Lezyne.
Thanks for your support! We try to be thorough, although that’s not really the trend these days. 🤦🏼♀️
Amazing review - Picky ADHD Dad looking for best value and full feature
Glad we could be of help!
What about rider heel overlap, potentially touching the child leg shields while pedaling?
That can happen with some seats, but the only seat we REALLY had a problem with that with is the Thule Yepp Nexxt Maxi.
Hi. Any idea what the max weight/height the Thule Yepp Mini is? I’m looking to purchase it and get a couple of years out of it. My girl is 16 months but she’s tall for her age.
It’s just a weight limit - 33 lbs.
ma i carabinieri non fanno multe per la targa illeggibile?
It depends on the state. Usually bike racks are exempt from that.
really random but your skis are on the wrong foot with the splitboard btw
I loved the video until you said it’s not good for long rides. That’s why I wanted it. My 4 year old gets tired after a couple miles, so I was hoping this would get us a few more miles..
Hi, thanks for your video! We have a Huyndai Kona and I'm thinking of getting the Deluxe or Premier for our 2 bikes. Do you think that their rack will be okay to drive on highways at 140km/hour speed? That's my main question.
How do 20” bikes fit
Both work great with a 20" wheel basket (Alta and VelociRAX both have their own).
Really helped in unmount. Thanks.
Excellent review!!!
Which other front seat do you recommend for a taller toddler?
How old is the toddler?
Hello, I have a secure fitting where the coupler is, but the end of the thread is barely out. I was thinking about getting a skewer. Does the size depend on the bike? Which one was used from the video? Please provide link, if possible. Thanks!
Most skewers have the same diameter, so you would need to worry about getting one long enough to work with the coupler. If you order one you’ll be able to quickly tell if it’s the same diameter as the one that is already on your bike. If you order from Amazon and it’s not the right size, it’s super easy to return.
The trail gator will damage the bike. It’s crap
Are you referring to the adult bike or the child’s bike?
It will definitely damage the child’s bike. The mounting leaves scratches in the head tube. Not only in the paint but also in the aluminum. Probably also on the fork. I would never install it on my mountain bike. I didn’t install it to my wife’s bike but I bet there are scratch marks too.
We cover this is our written review. If you’re interested, here it is: www.twowheelingtots.com/trail-gator-review/
Great review, however I have a huge doubt that no video on UA-cam has really made clear. I plan on buying the lite for my son he's 5 and Im concerned he might be too big for this trailer. Could you perhaps tell me the kid's height and tell me your honest opinion on how spacious the lite is
If you’re buying the Lite at age 5, you’re going to get very little use out of it before he’s too big. Weight limit is 49 pounds. My daughter last used it when she was 43.5” tall. If you watch this Reel, you can see how she looks at that height. instagram.com/reel/CWTG8kTALXF/?igsh=bXZ4bWdjYjN2d2E0
Which single seat trailer would you recommend for tall 5 years old,city use and some light off road usage? Looking for the the most spacious and comfortable. I really appreciate your response!!
A five-year-old is going to outgrow a trailer very quickly. The Wike brand does make larger trailers primarily to accommodate older, special-needs kids.
So what would be a young toddler? Is that as opposed to old toddlers?
Younger toddlers were generally referring to one to two-year-olds. While older toddlers would be about 2.5 to 3.5.
Thank you for the video. It helped me decide to buy the Alta. I am not a grammar-(national socialist) but please stop saying dampen and dampening. The VelociRAX has a damper that damps the motion. Dampen is to make something wet. Fox Suspension has a wonderful video explaining the difference. ua-cam.com/video/d2Q7VfNUBEg/v-deo.html
Unfortunately we can’t go back and change UA-cam videos. It definitely puts a damper on the situation. 😘
Are there any seats for ebikes that have a saddle seat I have an amyet s8 and was wondering if there are any seats for that?
There are no child bike seats that we know of that are designed to fit on that, but there are also no child bike seats that have been safety tested to ride at speeds up to 35 mph.
Straight to the point, well-written, informative, fact-driven. Thanks for looking out for us. Great video.
Thanks for the shout out! We certainly appreciate it when viewers take the time to praise rather than criticize!
Discontinued November 2023 according to information online
The Airos model was discontinued across the brand. All sizes are now available exclusively in the more affordable Ethos model.
At what size the kid can touch the pedals ?
At three years old, they might be just able to reach them, but by four they should be able to solidly reach the pedals. (For the average kid) the Blat model doesn’t have pedals, but has platforms that are closer and easier for shorter legs to reach and rest on them.
Wish they had a six
You need a vertical hitch rack for that! www.twowheelingtots.com/best-vertical-bike-racks-hitch/
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes yeah…1000+. No thanks. Wish Allen had a six. At least their prices are within reason…
We hear you! Unfortunately vertical or pick up truck bed racks are the only style that can accommodate that much weight.
My grandson had a balance bike AND a small toy tractor (tricycle) at the same time. On the bike he learned balancing and countersteering, on the tricycle he learned to steer reverse and park a “car” and had his pedalling skills improved. At the age of 2 yrs, 3 mns he combined the two on a Woom 2 in half an hour.
His bike has a brake. He should learn to use it.
Toddlers generally start developing the coordination to use a handbrake between 2 1/2 and three years old. But every kid is different.
Hi. What is the name of the bine? Black one with the orange tires. Thanks.
That’s the Priority Classic Plus www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=app&ti=1019&mi=16029&pw=195205&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prioritybicycles.com%2Fproducts%2Fpriorityclassic2&ctc=best-womens-bikes_amcid-2iQZUgi3posssEVeA6VJO
One could also strap up the bike in an overhead bar. The child can climb up and practise all by herself. My little grandson had a small balance bike and a little toy tractor with steering wheel and pedals. A lot of muscle training going uphill. So in the end he combined balancing and steering when he got pedals on the bike.
29” wheels on a mountain bike how do I get the seat not to rub. I’m unable to use it I owns the Thule yepp nexxt 2
Where is the seat rubbing? If you could email a picture to carrie@twowheelingtots.com, I can try to help you further.
I'd be careful with the statement that Thule is the best company you can invest in. I've bought their most expensive trailer and it started falling apart within 1year, with stuff like brake screws falling off, never glued properly in the factory. It's been 4 weeks of the warranty processing and will take at least 6 more. Absolutely outrageous for a company charging such prices for their products. Also bear in mind the prices of the spare parts are insane,
We appreciate you sharing your experience! We have tested and owned many, many Thule products over the years and have never had an issue similar to this. That said, no product or manufacturing process is perfect, so it sounds like you got a real doozy. We're sorry it's such a pain!! Is this the Thule Chariot Sport you're referring to?
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes Yeah, I've just learned that after 5 weeks since the case started they are only picking it up from a shop, so in total I'll be at least 7-8 weeks without it. For no reason. Had I known it I'd fix it myself.
Yeah, that sounds a bit ridiculous. Sounds like they should just replace it so you don't miss more riding time. It's expensive enough that you certainly can't just go out and by another trailer to tide you over until this one is fixed. :-(
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes exactly and that wouldn't be even that bad.. if not the fact that this chariot is the only place where my toddler sleeps during the day, so we struggle everyday without it. I've had other products from Thule before, they are ok but not really standing out. Chariot has a good competition too. And so have the bike seats. Having seen the attitude of their customer service, I'll think twice before buying anything from them
Just wanted to thank you for pointing out the front lip mounting and suggestion for moving the seat. Super helpful!
We're happy we could help! Enjoy riding with your little one!
Hm bike pump
Does this trailer compatible with 29” wheels ?
Yes, but if you have a thru axle you will need a special adapter. Also something to keep in mind... larger wheels come closer to the front of the trailer. On many cheaper trailers, the front cover doesn't do a great job of keeping kids' feet inside, in which case it's possible for taller kids to stick their feet out and potentially touch your bike's rear tire.
You know you can raise the front handle bars to adjust for taller riders. That solves a lot of your complaints for the taller riders.
The Royalbaby's short cockpit is the biggest problem for taller riders. Unfortunately, raising the handlebars doesn't increase the length of the cockpit. Other bikes, such as Guardian bikes, have longer cockpits so that when you raise the handlebars for taller riders, the bike isn't too cramped for them to ride comfortably. www.twowheelingtots.com/guardian-bikes-5-reasons-we-love-them/
It’s a bmx bike lol
One of the best reviews that I saw in recent times. Clarity, concise, useful. Thank you
We’re so glad it could help you in any way to get out and ride!
Love the review. We just bought one of these! One thing though-maybe don’t ride on sidewalks? 🤔
I think it depends on where you live… Where we live… It’s definitely not bike friendly and no one is looking out for bikes or any sort of pedestrians. It is not safe to ride in the street, so we sometimes need to ride on the sidewalk.
is there any shield to protect kids from getting blasted with dirt, debrees and water and mud?
There is a mud guard in both the front and back.
Thank you. I want a roof rack since i now have a cool little coupe lol. But i need to ride right now so a good cheap way is always preferred. Trails are weel within town so i dont fear failure much .. Ty
Glad to help! hope it works out for you until you can get your dream roof rack!
If I already have an Allen t2, is getting a burley bee a meaningful enough upgrade to be worth it?
You can read a more thorough comparison of the Bee and the Allen in our Burley Bee Review here. If you want to bike frequently, the upgrade is ABSOLUTELY worth is. Here's the review: www.twowheelingtots.com/burley-bee-bike-trailer-review/ But also, here's a brief overview of why the Burley Bee is better than the Allen T2: Overall design and components are much higher-quality and more durable Pulls smoother and quieter Trailer cover is thicker, better-quality fabric More interior space UV windows More storage space, which is also more secure Much easier to fold down for transportation and storage Quick release button for removing wheels Side battens prevent passengers from pushing against the trailer and hitting the wheels Easier initial assembly
Apparently I’m not tightening it enough again because the frame of the bike keeps sliding out of the wheel or rear axel
Do you have a quick release axle or a standard axle?
This happened to me too did you end up figuring it out? We just bought the honey bee today 😅
It should definitely not be sliding out. Can you tighten it further?
Do you think the yep mini is easier to see over that the next mini? My wife has a women’s cruiser bike and the front mounted seat is our only option (bike not suitable for rear rack). Just trying to get an idea of the size difference of the two.
They are basically the same size.
Hey, just bought one for my child and I have noticed a wobbling when riding. Is that normal??
It should not feel wobbly. Can you pinpoint where the wobbling is coming from? Are you using the right shim over your seat post? The trailer should have come with 6 different shims for different diameter seat posts.
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes the shim fits perfectly. It wobbles in both connections. Where you put those pins.
I would contact their customer service if you feel it wobbling while riding. I've never had that issue.
Which one has the most leg room?
All of the nicer trailers have pretty similar leg room. If you want a lot of leg room, stick with Burley, Thule, or Hamax. But also remember that the max weight of any single passenger is only 40 or 49 pounds (depending on the brand).
Question: also fir to full suspension bike?
Assuming your full suspension bike has a dropper post, then no. Check this video @3:30 to see how it attaches to the adult bike's seat post.
Great presentation and super helpful. Thank you!
