Thule Epos 2 new purchase
-Very expensive product, but has a high resale value.
-Our 2 electric trail bikes can be mounted without any problems, which is why I decided in favour of this product.
-As a trained mechanic, the original lock on the "Thule Epos 2" doesn't seem very high quality to me (compared to the EasyFold XT)
-The rear lights are better fixed than on the EasyFold XT
I would definitely buy the product again....
Pro
- Bikes can be mounted without any problems
- looks good
- High resale value
- Small pack size, fits in the boot ;-)
- the Epos 2 has a weight of 17kg, payload of up to 60kg possible
Contra
- Very very high price
- Original lock looks cheaper than the EasyFoldXT3
- The licence plate has a lot of play with the enclosed retaining clips. The same as the Easyfold XT3.
- Danger, as with the EasyFold XT3, that the cabling gets jammed when mounting on the towbar
Perfect for electric bikes
Easy to store because it folds up in a jiffy, but it's still quite heavy!
Solid quality materialsPro
- Compact, easy to attach to bikes, stable
One of the best bike racks
Expensive but no better: the price of extreme ease of use and versatility.
Pro
- Superbly thought-out and well finished: compact, solid, stable, with no accessories lying around.
- Key lock on towball attachment system
- Padlock on each of the 2 bicycle stanchions with one common key
- Easy to attach to all types of bikes
- Easy to assemble and fold
Contra
- Plastic clips for securing the plate are too loose (glued 2 rubbers to hold it in place)
- No wheels to make it easier to move
excellent product, better than its predecessor
Pro
- independent bike fixing

Excellent and easy to install with VTTAEs
After reading reviews and tests, we opted for this Epos rather than an Easyfold.
The straps hold the bikes securely in place and they're great!
Easy to adjust.
My partner had a bit of trouble installing it because locking the clamping handle required a lot of effort.
Otherwise, with the access ramp and cable, it's a great bike carrier.Pro
- Setting
- Space between rows
- Solid locking
Contra
- Installation complicated for my partner (effort required to lock the handle)
