It's all about the details
Thule Epos is designed to maximise your time on the bike with smart solutions that make handling your bikes easy. It is fully foldable for easy transportation and storage, and tiltable for trunk access. The bike carrier is made to take good care of your bikes – generous spacing between bikes, accomodation for extra long wheelbases and easy fastening of large tires will give you a great time cycling.
Add to the experience
We have designed great accessories for bikers that loves their bikes. Adjust or repair your bike on the go with Thule Epos Bike Repair Holder, and protect your bikes against theft with Thule High Grade Lock, developed with industry leader ABUS.
