THULE PREMIUM HITCH BIKE RACK
Thule Epos 2 & 3 Bike Hitch Bike Rack
One premium rack built around the bikes you actually ride.
The Thule Epos is designed for riders who need more flexibility than a conventional platform rack can offer.
Its patented telescopic bike arms can secure compatible bikes at the frame or rear wheel, creating multiple attachment options for e-bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes and bikes equipped with fenders or racks.
Choose the 2-bike or 3-bike configuration, carry bikes weighing up to 75 lb each, and fold the entire rack down when the ride is over.
THE EPOS DIFFERENCE
Stop Designing Your Bike Around the Rack.
Bikes have become more complicated. Carbon frames, e-bike batteries, fenders, cargo racks and unusual frame geometries can all change where a traditional bike-rack arm can safely attach.
Epos approaches the problem differently. Its telescopic arms pivot into position and let you choose an appropriate attachment point at the bike frame or rear wheel.
The result is one of the most adaptable hitch racks in Thule's lineup.
BUILT AROUND THE BIKE
Premium Details From Loading to Storage.
Telescopic Bike Arms
Pivoting cradles and steel-reinforced straps create multiple attachment possibilities at the frame or rear wheel to accommodate a wide variety of bike styles and geometries.
75 lb Per Bike
High individual bike capacity makes the Epos particularly well suited to heavier e-bikes and substantial mountain-bike builds.
25 cm Bike Spacing
Approximately 9.8 inches between bikes helps reduce bike-to-bike interference while travelling.
Long Wheelbase Ready
Extra-long wheel holders accommodate bikes with wheelbases up to 1350 mm / approximately 53 inches.
Fully Foldable
Fold the rack into a compact configuration for installation, handling and storage when the bikes aren't along for the trip.
Wheels + Carrying Handles
Integrated transport wheels and ergonomic handles make it considerably easier to move the folded rack between the vehicle and garage.
EVERYDAY ACCESS
Tilt It Away With the Bikes Loaded.
An outboard foot pedal lets you tilt the Epos away from the vehicle with bikes still mounted for easier access to the rear cargo area.
When the rack is empty, rear access is possible without tilting the carrier. Actual hatch and tailgate clearance still varies by vehicle.

NEED A HITCH?
Cap-it Can Complete the Setup.
Your vehicle doesn't need to have been factory-equipped with a receiver hitch to use the Epos.
Cap-it locations sell and professionally install receiver hitches for many cars, SUVs, crossovers and trucks. We can help determine the correct hitch and make sure the vehicle, receiver, rack and bikes work together.
WANT THE LIGHTED VERSION?
Thule Epos 2 With Integrated Lights
Cap-it also offers the dedicated Thule Epos 2 with Lights, which packages the premium 2-bike Epos platform with integrated rear lighting in a separate product configuration.
If lighting is already part of your plan, compare the dedicated lighted model before building the standard Epos with the accessory lamp kit.

Epos Accessories Worth Considering
The Epos works extremely well on its own, but these purpose-built accessories can make loading easier, add lighting, protect the rack in storage or turn the Epos into a completely different cargo system.
MORE THAN A BIKE RACK
Turn Your Epos Into a Hitch Cargo Carrier.
The Thule Santu mounts directly to compatible 2-bike and 3-bike Epos racks, adding 260 litres of low-mounted cargo storage without moving gear to the roof.
On the 3-bike Epos, the Santu can be configured so you can carry cargo and one bike at the same time.
This is more than an accessory. It gives the Epos a completely different job when the bikes aren't coming along.

OFF-ROAD + RV USE
Approved for More Than Just Pavement.
Thule approves the Epos for defined off-road use, including surfaces such as gravel roads, forest service roads and access roads, subject to Thule's current safety instructions.
Epos is also approved for motorized RV travel, but Thule requires a 40% load reduction for RV use. Follow the current fitting and safety instructions for the applicable vehicle and use.
THE CAP-IT TAKE
This Is the Thule Rack for Complicated Bike Collections.
Lots of premium racks are excellent when every bike is relatively conventional.
The Epos becomes especially interesting when the garage contains a mix of e-bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, fenders, racks and different frame geometries.
The telescopic attachment system gives you more freedom to work around the bike instead of trying to make every bike fit one fixed rack layout.
Add the 75 lb per-bike capacity, transport wheels, full folding, rear-access tilt and optional loading ramp and you end up with a rack that's designed around everyday usability as much as carrying capacity.
If versatility matters more than simply finding the cheapest way to carry two or three bikes, the Epos makes a very strong case for itself.
