Thule has launched its latest bike rack called the Epos, a fully, foldable, reclining tow-bar mounted bike carrier that features an innovative telescopic coupling system that’s designed to transport bicycles of any type or size, from MTB to road bikes, to gravel and e-bike models.
The main innovation behind the Epos involves a new system of telescopic arms that are equipped with a swivel head and reinforced straps, which are compatible with any type of bicycle and make the bike carrier extremely versatile and easy to use. With the Epos, users can transport 2 or 3 bicycles with a total weight of 60 kg, choosing whether to fix them from the frame or from the rear wheel, and as mentioned, it’s compatible with all types of bikes and models, including e-bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes and models equipped with mudguards and racks.
– Load capacity up to 60kg total, to allow the transport of all bikes, including the heaviest e-bikes – Compatible with all frames from 20mm to 90mm in diameter – Allows the transport of voluminous bikes thanks to the large load bases (reaching 1350mm) and the spacing between them of 250mm – Fits wheel diameters from 16” to 29” and tires up to 3.2” thick (up to 5” margin when using accessory belt, sold separately)
Installing Thule Epos is simple and requires minimal effort. Once mounted, bikes can be unloaded in a snap, regardless of the order in which they are placed on the rack. And once the bikes are loaded, the trunk will still be accessible thanks to the tilting mechanism.
“We are thrilled to introduce this revolutionary bike rack, which will make transporting any type of bicycle easier than ever,” comments Baptiste Chaussignand, Product Management Manager for the Bike category at Thule. ”With its simplicity of use and the incredible versatility it demonstrates, there really will be no more excuses not to go out and ride next weekend!”
When not in use, the telescopic arms of the Epos can be easily folded, making the trunk accessible even without tilting the bike rack.
Finally, when not in use, the Epos is completely foldable, to facilitate transport and not to take up too much space.
The Epos will be available in two or three-bike versions, a two-bike rack will retail for $1,099 and the three-bike version at $999. Accessories are available separately from the main system with prices on those TBC with more information available at Thule.com.
