We previously recommended the Allen Sports Deluxe 2-Bike rack, and we still think it’s a good choice for people who want to spend less than $50.

What experts didn't like

Can be difficult to install. Feels a little flimsy. Can leave marks on car. Doesn’t fit all cars.
No way to securely lock the frame to the car or the bikes to the frame. The size of the frame doesn’t provide much clearance. There is a risk of scratching your car if the rack is not properly set up.
But it’s a pain to install, and you can’t make any adjustments to the arms.
