The Thule Epos is equipped with a swivelling frame holder and reinforced ratchet straps and should therefore offer a variety of options for securely fastening the bike. The Epos can be attached at any point on the frame or rear wheel, so that contact with the frame is not absolutely necessary. An advantage for sensitive carbon frames. The stable and hard-wearing bike carrier can carry bikes weighing up to 30 kilos each. There is space for up to three bikes on the rear carrier, regardless of model or frame type - including e-bikes, mountain and gravel bikes as well as bikes with mudguards and large frames.
Quick, easy and safe loading and unloading
With the Thule Epos, it doesn't matter in which order the bikes are placed on the carrier. Loading and unloading can therefore start at the front, rear or in the centre.
Even when the carrier is loaded, the boot is easily accessible thanks to the practical tilting mechanism.
Without bicycles, the arms lie flat and thus ensure free access to the boot without having to fold down the carrier. The Thule Epos can be folded up completely. This makes it easy to transport and space-saving to store when not in use.
