The core innovation of the Thule Epos bike carrier is the flexibility and ease of use of its telescopic bike arms equipped with pivoting head and reinforced straps offering numerous attachment options to securely hold any type of bike.
Thule Epos attaches to any place on a bike’s frame or ear wheel with no-frame contact and carries bikes with a weight of up to 66 lbs each. Thule Epos carries up to three bikes and fits all types of frames and geometries, including e-bikes, mountain, road, gravel, and e-bikes, and bikes with fenders and racks.
Mounting and securing the rack requires minimum effort. Bikes are easy to load and unload independently allowing for mounting bikes in any order. Once loaded, the trunk is accessible due to the tilting mechanism.
“We are thrilled to introduce this revolutionary and our most patent-protected, bike carrier that will make it easier than ever to transport any type of bike. The installation process requires minimal effort, and loading and unloading bikes is incredibly simple—no more excuses not to go riding next weekend!” Baptiste Chaussignand, director of Product Management, Bike Category at Thule.
With no bikes attached, the bike arms stow flat, which makes the trunk accessible even without tilting the bike carrier. Thule Epos is also foldable for easy transportation and storage.
“We have been able to use all our bike nerd knowledge, combined with the engineering knowledge from a long line of bike carriers—and we have stepped up our game. This lightweight yet strong carrier delivers on quality and looks that are truly premium. With integrated LED lights and fit-for-purpose accessories, it’s one of my new favorites in the assortment,” said Henrik Eriksson, global design director at Thule.
