Vuly Thunder 2 vs Jumpflex HERO
This page contains affiliate links and we may earn a commission on purchases.
Both are round and both carry a 10-year frame warranty. The Thunder 2 uses leaf springs positioned away from the jumping area, so there is no exposed steel spring beside the jumper. The HERO uses conventional coil springs under padding. The Thunder 2 is listed as meeting the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015; the HERO is not.
The HERO is rated to 160 kg per jumper and 250 kg combined, against 140 to 150 kg on the Thunder 2, and it costs a few hundred dollars less. Both provide 5-year mat and 1-year net warranties. The Thunder 2's XXL is also larger than the HERO's biggest size.

Quick verdict
The Thunder 2 suits anyone who wants the leaf-spring design, a model listed as meeting the Australian standard or a larger size. The HERO is the better fit for older kids and adults who want the higher weight rating for less money, provided you're comfortable that it is not listed as meeting the standard.
