Vuly Thunder 2 Pro vs ACON 16 HD
This page contains affiliate links and we may earn a commission on purchases.
These are both top-of-range trampolines, and they are built for different things.
The Vuly Thunder 2 Pro is round, uses full-length leaf springs set away from the jumping area, and comes in three sizes. The ACON 16 HD is a single 10 × 17 ft rectangle with 140 coil springs, built for a strong, even bounce across the mat.
Both are listed as meeting the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015 and both provide 10-year frame, 5-year mat and 1-year net warranties.
Capacity is where the published specifications differ most. Vuly rates the Thunder 2 Pro to 140 to 150 kg per jumper, while ACON does not publish a single-jumper or combined weight rating for the 16 HD. The ACON also costs considerably more.
Choose the Vuly Thunder 2 Pro if you want a round trampoline with the springs out of the jumping area, in a choice of sizes, for less. Choose the ACON 16 HD if you want a large rectangular mat and a high spring count.

Quick verdict
The Thunder 2 Pro is the more practical family trampoline and the cheaper of the two by a wide margin. The 16 HD is a specialist purchase: buy it for the large rectangular mat and 140-spring design, not for an unstated combined user capacity.
