THULE PREMIUM HITCH BIKE RACK WITH LIGHTS
Thule Epos 2 & 3 Bike Hitch Rack with Lights
All the versatility of the Epos, with integrated rear lighting built in from the start.
The Thule Epos with Lights combines Thule's premium, highly adaptable Epos bike platform with integrated running lights, brake lights, turn indicators and an illuminated licence plate holder.
Its patented telescopic attachment arms can secure compatible bikes at the frame or rear wheel, making the rack exceptionally flexible 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 connect the integrated lighting system to a compatible vehicle 4-pin connection.
BUILT-IN VISIBILITY
Rear Lighting Without Adding Another Accessory.
Bikes and bike racks can occupy a substantial amount of space behind a vehicle. The Epos with Lights integrates a dedicated rear lighting system directly into the rack.
Running lights, brake lights and turn indicators mirror the vehicle's signals, while an illuminated licence plate holder completes the rear-facing system.
If you already know you want rear lighting on your Epos, this is the cleanest way to build it.
THE EPOS DIFFERENCE
One Rack for a Complicated Bike Collection.
Carbon frames, e-bike batteries, fenders, rear racks and unusual frame geometries can all affect where a conventional bike-rack arm can attach.
Epos uses patented telescopic bike arms with pivoting cradles and steel-reinforced straps, allowing compatible bikes to be secured at appropriate points on the frame or rear wheel.
That flexibility makes the platform particularly useful for households carrying different bike styles rather than several nearly identical bikes.
Telescopic Bike Arms
Pivoting cradles and reinforced straps provide multiple attachment possibilities at the bike frame or rear wheel.
75 lb Per Bike
High individual bike capacity makes Epos a strong choice for heavier e-bikes and substantial mountain-bike builds.
25 cm Bike Spacing
Approximately 9.8 inches between bikes helps reduce bike-to-bike interference during transport.
Up to 53" Wheelbases
Extra-long wheel holders accommodate bikes with wheelbases up to 1350 mm.
Fully Foldable
Fold the rack for easier installation, handling and compact storage between rides.
Transport Wheels
Integrated carrying handles and transport wheels make it easier to move the folded rack between the garage and vehicle.
EVERYDAY ACCESS
Tilt It Away With Bikes Loaded.
An outboard foot pedal allows the Epos to tilt away from the vehicle with bikes still mounted for easier rear cargo access.
When the carrier is empty, rear access is possible without tilting the rack. Actual hatch and tailgate clearance varies by vehicle.

BEFORE YOU ORDER
The Lights Need a Compatible 4-Pin Vehicle Connection.
The integrated Epos lighting system connects to the vehicle through an existing compatible 4-pin electrical connection.
The rack itself fits compatible 1.25" and 2" hitch receivers, so both the hitch and electrical connection need to be considered when planning the complete installation.
If your vehicle doesn't currently have the required hitch or wiring, talk to Cap-it before ordering and we'll help evaluate the complete setup.
NEED A HITCH OR WIRING?
Cap-it Can Help Complete the Vehicle Side Too.
Cap-it locations sell and professionally install receiver hitches for many cars, SUVs, crossovers and trucks.
Where appropriate for the vehicle, we can also help evaluate the electrical connection required for the Epos lighting system.
DON'T NEED INTEGRATED LIGHTS?
Save With the Standard Thule Epos.
If integrated rear lighting isn't important for your setup, the standard Thule Epos provides the same core bike-carrying concept in 2-bike and 3-bike configurations at a lower price.
You still get the telescopic attachment system, 75 lb per-bike capacity, folding design, rear-access tilt and broad bike compatibility, without paying for the integrated light package.

Epos Accessories Worth Considering
The lighting is already built in, so the most useful additions are the ones that make loading easier, protect the rack in storage or expand what the Epos can carry.
MORE THAN A BIKE RACK
Turn Your Epos Into a Hitch Cargo Carrier.
The Thule Santu mounts to compatible Epos platforms and adds 260 litres of low-mounted cargo storage without moving your gear onto the roof.
It gives your premium Epos platform another job when the bikes aren't coming along.

THE CAP-IT TAKE
If You Know You Want Lights, Buy Them Built In.
The standard Epos is already one of Thule's most versatile premium hitch racks. The lighted version doesn't change why we like the rack, it simply makes the rear-lighting decision upfront.
For customers who know they want running lights, brake lights and turn indicators behind the bike load, the integrated version keeps the finished system clean and avoids adding the lamp kit later.
You still get the Epos qualities that matter most: flexible telescopic bike attachment, 75 lb individual bike capacity, generous spacing, full folding, transport wheels and easy rear access.
If you don't need the lights, save the money and buy the standard Epos. If you do, we'd buy the integrated version from the start.
