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.

The ultimate bike carrier
This bike rack meets my expectations: it's sturdy, quick to set up and very easy to use. It's a bit heavy and expensive, but Mantel's prices make it affordable. Delivery to a relay point was perfect and on time.

Very good bike carrier, especially for carbon frames
I recently bought a Thule bike carrier and I'm very pleased with my choice. The product is very practical, both for installation and for everyday use. The attachment is simple and secure, and the assembly/disassembly system is well thought out, even for a single person. Installation was quick and clean. Everything was well explained, and I was able to leave with peace of mind, knowing that my bikes would be well supported. An excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, sturdy and easy-to-handle bike rack.

A bike carrier where everything has been thought of.
In my search for a suitable bike carrier, I ended up with the Thule Epos. This carrier has thought of everything and is of high quality in material and workmanship. I plan to use the carrier for city bikes, racing bikes and mountain bikes. These bikes and also e-bikes can all be carried effortlessly. Whereas with many carriers the bikes are close together and sometimes against each other, with this carrier there is enough space between the bikes. Mounting on the tow bar is also very easy and the power supply is via a 13-pin plug. Yet, not everything is positive about the carrier. Because of this high quality, it is very pricey. And before buying it, I did have doubts but unfortunately the tilt function does not work on our car (Caddy Life). I did contact Mantel about this before purchasing. Unfortunately, they could not answer this question. Nevertheless, I decided to buy this carrier because even though the tilting function doesn't work with our car, this is still the nicest carrier for me.
