The ultimate bike rack for every cyclist

Introducing the Thule Epos bike rack – it’s your go-to solution for all bike types! Super quick and super easy to use, this rack features a smart telescopic attachment system that makes mounting a breeze. You can secure your bike to any part of the frame or rear wheel, offering a ton of flexibility. Plus, loading and unloading up to two bikes in any sequence is a cinch. Whether it’s ebikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, or those with fenders and racks, this rack has your back.

Details that matter

The Thule Epos is crafted to enhance your cycling experience with clever features that simplify bike handling. It’s fully foldable for hassle-free transport and storage, and it tilts for easy trunk access. Designed to protect your bikes, the generous spacing, accommodation for longer wheelbases, and simple fastening for larger tires ensure you can hit the road worry-free.

Enhance your biking journey

We’ve created cool accessories for bike lovers. Tune or fix your bike anywhere with the Thule Epos Bike Repair Holder, and keep your bikes safe from theft using the Thule High Grade Lock made in partnership with security leader ABUS. And hey, we know ebikes can be heavy, so we also have the Thule Epos Foldable Loading Ramp to make loading and unloading a piece of cake.
