I have the 2 bike rear trunk rack and it works great. If you think you need to spend like $300 for a rear rack to transport a bike safely, you are mistaken.

But yea as the other guy said, if you're using this to drive long distances, I would be a little less confident on the strength of these things. The hitch version would probably be the way to go. Especially if you own like a thousand dollar bike, it'd probably be not the best idea to cheap out here.

I also bought the recent 2 bike compact Allen rear rack but it doesn't fit at all with the spoiler. It would fit fine if my car didn't have a spoiler though.
I also have the swagman standard roof rack and I also made a 2 bike mount roof rack that I pair it up with a universal roof rack. I will say the Allen 2 bike rear truck rack is the most convenient of the bunch but I also live in NY so these trunk racks are technically illegal for me even though I have been using them for years and never got a ticket. It is what it is.
I got a bike roof rack as well and it takes much longer to set up as I got to install the universal roof rack, install the roof bike mounts, take off the front wheel, lift the bike on to the roof and lock it up. With 2 bikes on the roof, it is longer. I refuse to spend big bucks on a bike rack where the cheaper racks gets the job done. Lot of the expensive roof racks are way overpriced and actually reduce gas mileage too. Not for my personal use.
