Our take on the Thule Epos 2-Bike Folding Hitch Rack

The Thule Epos is a premium two-bike hitch rack that folds flat and tilts away with bikes loaded. Its telescopic arms with pivoting cradles grab the frame or the rear wheel, so it handles road, mountain, gravel and e-bikes up to 75 lb each, plus fenders and rear racks. A foot pedal tilts the rack for trunk access, and locks for the bikes and the receiver are included. It is heavier and more expensive than simple hanging racks, but reviewers rate its build and ease of loading highly.

Pros
  • Telescopic arms with pivoting cradles fit many frame shapes and wheel sizes
  • Tilts with a foot pedal for trunk access while loaded
  • Folds compact for storage and handling
  • Bike-to-rack and rack-to-car locks included
  • Tool-free AutoAttach lever for quick mounting and removal
  • Limited lifetime warranty on parts and labor
Cons
  • Heavy at about 38 lb, so lifting it onto the hitch takes effort
  • Premium build carries a premium position against budget hanging racks
  • Fits a maximum wheelbase of 1350 mm, so some long cargo and downhill bikes are out
  • Only two bikes; larger families need the bigger version or a second rack

About the Thule Epos 2-Bike Folding Hitch Rack

The Thule Epos is a folding hitch-mounted rack that carries up to 2 bikes. It fits road, mountain, gravel and cyclocross bikes, eBikes, and bikes with fenders and racks. It mounts on 1.25" and 2" receivers.

Patented telescopic bike arms with a pivoting cradle and steel-reinforced straps attach to the frame or rear wheel. The tool-free AutoAttach system has an easy-grip lever for mounting and removing the rack. The rack folds fully for installation, handling and storage.

A foot pedal tilts the rack so the trunk can be opened with bikes still mounted. Included locks secure the bikes to the carrier and the carrier to the car. The locks are compatible with the One Key System.
