Safe and secure
Moreover, bike wheels can be easily secured with the adjustable pump buckles at the wheel holders. These are extra long, allowing wheels with a maximum width of 3" to be attached. Finally, the bikes can be locked to the bike carrier, and the tow bar of the carrier can be locked to the car. This allows you to leave the bikes on the car without worrying about their safety.
Tilt function
When the bikes are securely attached to the carrier, it is easy to access the trunk thanks to the tilt function. By pressing the foot pedal with your foot, the bike carrier tilts forward, creating space to load items in and out of the trunk. When mounting the bike carrier on the tow bar, it can be easily adjusted thanks to the stability on the tow bar. After adjustment, the carrier is locked with a handle. After use, the bike carrier can be easily folded and transported thanks to the ergonomic handles.

Extremely easy
Both attaching the carrier to the tow bar and placing the bikes and locking everything is extremely easy. With the 2 bikes I combined, I did have some conflict between the saddle of one and the handlebars of the other (solved by lowering the saddle). Is presumably so with every towbar rack (unless bikes are 1m apart or so).
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Excellent bike rack. Its only drawback is its very high price
Really well-designed bike carrier. Attaching mountain bikes is child's play, whatever the frame geometry or tube size. You can really feel that Thule has taken the time to think its system through. There's really nothing to complain about.

Top notch!
Bikes are easy to load and unload. Stabiliser bar works super handy.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Worth every cent !
After using a Thule "triple carrier" for years, I bought the Epos 2 for reasons of space. It's certainly a bit expensive, but in the past the attachment with the conventional lever arm system was sometimes quite annoying and fiddly. With the new lever system, each wheel can be attached individually and effortlessly. Previously I had "stomach ache" when clamping high-quality carbon frames, but this problem has been solved with the Epos 2. Mounting on the trailer hitch is also completely relaxed. The carrier makes a good quality impression on me. Thule has once again put a lot of thought into this and brought something really new and innovative onto the market. For me, the carrier is worth every penny.

Absolutely recommend it and it's the best bike rack I've used so far,
A super bike carrier, especially for bikes that can actually only be properly secured with a strap fastener, due to the frame thickness/shape.
