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 meet the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015 and both provide 10-year frame, 5-year mat and 1-year net warranties.
Capacity is where they differ most. Vuly rates the Thunder 2 Pro to 140 to 150 kg per jumper. ACON does not publish a single-jumper limit for the 16 HD, but does publish a 750 kg combined rating, which is far above any other brand here and is aimed at several people using it together. 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 rectangle and the capacity for several jumpers at once.

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 rectangular mat and the combined capacity, not as a general upgrade.
