Product Overview
The Allen Sports Ultra Compact 2-Bike Carrier (Model MT2-B) is designed for convenience and reliability when transporting bicycles. It is compatible with most sedans, hatchbacks, minivans, and SUVs. Please refer to the Allen Sports website for specific vehicle fit.
Installation Instructions
- Open the package and confirm that the bike carrier is fully assembled.
- Place the bike rack against the back of your vehicle, ensuring the lower padded frame rests on the license plate area or the lower part of the trunk to protect your vehicle's finish.
- Adjust the upper and lower straps to fit your vehicle's specific contours. Refer to the included instructions for guidance on strap placement for your vehicle type.
- Secure the side straps and tighten all straps to ensure the rack is firmly in place. Avoid over-tightening, which could cause damage to your vehicle.
- Mount your bicycles onto the rack, positioning them evenly. Use the individual tie-downs to secure and protect each bike.
- Ensure that the bicycles are not obstructing your vehicle's taillights or license plate. If they do, you may need to use additional accessories like a lighting board or license plate holder.

Troubleshooting Tips
- Loose Fit: If the rack seems loose, re-tighten the straps and ensure they are properly threaded through the buckles.
- Bike Movement: If the bikes seem to move while in transit, double-check that the individual tie-downs are tight and properly securing the bikes.
- Strap Damage: To prevent strap damage or car finish wear, consider adding a layer of protection (such as electrical tape) to the straps where they make contact with the vehicle.
- Obstructed Lights or Plates: If the rack or bikes obstruct the vehicle's lights or license plate, adjust the placement or use additional accessories to remain compliant with traffic laws.
