It is quick to unfold, relatively straightforward to load and keeps the bikes higher than many boot-mounted racks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVehicle fit is the part we would check carefully. External spare tyres sit in different positions and some vehicles have covers, cameras, lights or rear-door shapes that can interfere with the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe would also stay within the 45kg combined limit stated in Allen’s instructions. Three bikes weighing 16kg each would exceed that total, so the individual and combined limits both need to be checked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Buy from Chain Reaction?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePractical advice on vehicle and spare-tyre compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelp checking bike weights and frame fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrame adaptors and additional tie-down straps available\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNationwide New Zealand delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOngoing support from our Christchurch team\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrand: Allen Sports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModel: S303 Premier\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRack type: Spare-tyre-mounted hanging bike rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBike capacity: Three\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum weight per bike: 16kg \/ 35lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum combined bike load: 45kg \/ 100lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicle mounting position: Rear-mounted external spare tyre\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBike retention: Dual-compound cradles with individual straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarry arms: Quick-set folding design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLower support: Extra-wide tyre-supporting foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJeep Wrangler JL compatibility: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAssembly: Quick-set design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Installation and Safety Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse only on a compatible external spare tyre mounted to the rear of a standard car or light vehicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe spare tyre must be securely attached and fully inflated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNever install the rack on a trailer, caravan, motorhome, RV or any other vehicle being towed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not install the rack on the front of a vehicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not use the rack for off-road driving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not exceed 16kg per bike or 45kg across the complete bike load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not carry tandems, mopeds or recumbent bikes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not open the vehicle’s rear door while the rack is installed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeep the vehicle’s lights and number plate clearly visible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSecure every bike to the rack and restrain loose wheels and handlebars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCheck the rack, hooks, straps and bicycles before every journey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrive carefully over bumps and rough road surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFollow the supplied Allen installation and loading instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ALLEN","offers":[{"title":"Allens Premier 3 Bike Spare Tyre Rack","offer_id":46404293132484,"sku":"S-303","price":369.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1566\/6131\/files\/cb9abcd150c60ca81a956da546a5aeff.jpg?v=1784189204","url":"https:\/\/www.chainreaction.co.nz\/products\/allen-premier-spare-tire-rack","provider":"Chain Reaction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
