Safety and reliability
The Thule Epos 3 ensures the safety of your bikes, thanks to its clever locking system that lets you lock both the bikes on the carrier and the carrier itself to the car's towbar. So you can stop and enjoy a break on the road with peace of mind.
Ease of use
The bike carrier is equipped with adjustable pump buckles at the wheel holders, making it easy to secure bike wheels even if they have a maximum width of 3". Moreover, the installation process is effortless thanks to the innovative telescopic attachment system, allowing you to get on the road quickly.
Handy tilt function
Thanks to the Thule Epos 3's handy tilt function, you always have easy access to the boot, even when the bikes are firmly attached to the carrier. With a simple push of the foot pedal, the carrier tilts forward, allowing you to load or unload luggage effortlessly.
Compact and portable
After use, the Thule Epos 3 bike carrier can be easily folded and transported thanks to its ergonomic handles. This makes it easy to take it with you on all your adventures, ready for the next cycling adventure.

5 / 5
Goodbye quality, cry once.
I’ve used Thule before and been very pleased with it. The Thule Epos feels like a really good upgrade.
5 / 5
High-quality bike rack
Epos 3 is very easy to install and quick to set up; the bikes are very securely fastened in place. The equipment looks extremely sturdy and robust.
4 / 5
Easy to install/remove, takes up little storage space
I haven't had much experience of it, but it's a very well thought-out bike rack that's easy to install and uninstall. It takes up very little space for storage, and the wheels are very handy for moving it around. However, I'm sorry that it can't be folded up when empty and left mounted on the car (as I can do with an older Thule model).
