"Thule hasn't exactly been keeping its latest hitch bike rack, known as the Vero, a secret, but today, it is officially launching and available for purchase. I got my first glimpse at this new rack a couple of months ago at the Thule Experience in Sweden, and we spotted it in the Thule booth at the SEMA show as well. This new rack was designed to bridge the gap between the performance-oriented Verse and the convenience-oriented Epos by combining elements of both models."
"The Vero borrows the sturdy tray-style design of the Verse with the super versatile and secure 3-point attachment system of the Epos. The result is a rack that can carry bikes weighing up to 80 pounds per tray and can literally haul any bike you own. I got my hands on the Vero a few weeks ago and have been using it for trips to the trailhead and around town to see if it lives up to its lofty bike compatibility claims."
The Vero combines the Verse's sturdy tray-style pivot, support arm, and trays with the Epos's versatile three-point bike attachment system. The attachment system uses front and rear wheel straps plus telescoping arms to secure the bike by the frame or rear wheel. Per-bike weight limit is 80 pounds, increasing from the Verse's 60-pound limit, enabling transport of heavy electric bikes, fat-tire bikes, and bikes with fenders. Compatible wheel sizes range from 20" to 29" and tires up to 5" wide. Wheelbase compatibility reaches 53" (1,350mm) or 55" (1,400mm) with optional extra-long straps. Distance between loaded bikes is 11.4" and the rack's claimed weight is 56 pounds.
