While we cannot confirm for sure that the Yakima HitchSki # Y02418 will fit your non-Yakima Allen sports bike rack, we can give you a good idea of whether it will fit. The main thing you need to consider on your rack is whether the arms are close enough together to accommodate the smallest (uppermost) part of the HitchSki and if your rack will be able to clear the top clamps. The top measurement is 17-1/8 inches and the inward points of the top cradles are 14-3/4 inches. Please see attached dimensions for clarity on these measurements.

As far as the mounting goes, I confirmed with Yakima that there is nothing special about compatible Yakima racks apart from the spacing of the arms.
