Thule expands the bike carrier lineup with Thule Epos ParkSecure – a safer way to reverse with bikes mounted

Thule presents the innovative Thule Epos ParkSecure, a premium towbar-mounted platform bike carrier for cyclists who care deeply about their bikes and want the same confidence transporting them as riding them.

Built on the versatility of Thule Epos, this new version integrates parking sensors directly into the carrier. The result is smarter protection when reversing and one less thing to worry about after a long ride.

“When transporting bikes, reversing the car is one of the moments where accidents are most likely to happen. As bike enthusiasts, we spend a lot of time thinking about how bikes are loaded, secured, and transported. With Thule Epos ParkSecure, we wanted to remove that stress completely and give riders the same confidence off the bike as they have on it” says Mikael Österling, Category Manager Bike Carriers at Thule.

Available in 2- and 3-bike versions, Thule Epos ParkSecure handles everything from heavy e-bikes to mountain, gravel, and commuter bikes. It is fully foldable and tiltable, making everyday use simple.

Built for all types of bikes
Thule Epos was developed to fit virtually any bike, and Thule Epos ParkSecure keeps that promise. The telescopic bike arms with pivoting heads attach at the frame or rear wheel, adapting to different bike geometries and designs, including bikes with fenders or racks.

With 25 cm spacing between bikes and a load capacity of up to 30 kg per bike, even heavier bikes travel securely and independently. Whether it’s a carbon road bike or a fully equipped e-MTB, Thule Epos ParkSecure treats every bike with the same care riders do.

Smart reversing safety, seamlessly integrated
Thule ParkSecure activates automatically when the vehicle is put into reverse. Four integrated sensors monitor what is happening behind the vehicle, covering bikes up to 1350 mm in wheelbase and 29” wheels.

A wireless in-car unit provides clear audio and visual alerts, helping riders maneuver confidently in tight parking spaces. The system meets ISO 17386, the same safety standard used in automotive parking sensors, so you can rely on it every time you reverse.

Designed for real bike adventures
Thule Epos ParkSecure keeps everything riders love about Thule Epos. The carrier tilts for easy trunk access, even with bikes mounted, and folds fully for compact storage. The 3-bike version includes integrated transport wheels, making it easy to handle at home or on the go.

Accessories for a seamless ride
Optional accessories such as the Thule Epos Bike Repair Holder, Thule High Grade Lock developed by ABUS, and a foldable loading ramp allow riders to fine-tune their setup. Because when it comes to bikes, the details matter.

“When you travel as much as I do, you’re often reversing into tight spaces with expensive bikes on the back. That’s always the moment you double-check everything. Having integrated sensors on the rack itself just adds that extra layer of confidence. It lets you focus on the ride instead of worrying about what’s behind you” says Martin Söderström, professional mountain biker and Thule Global Brand Ambassador.

Availability
Thule Epos ParkSecure will be available April 2026.
