The Weber Monoporter is another trailer option that folds flat. Its name is derived from the fact that the wheel attaches from just a single side. This trailer works out to be quite lightweight too as it doesn’t use a side frame to stabilise the bag on the sides. One of the reasons people avoid trailers is due to their weight. But you may find that the true weight difference is quite negligible. Adjustable width yoke allows for simple, tool-free adjustment and installation on a wide range of hub widths (126-197mm).

If you’ve ever hauled anything in a trailer behind your bike, you’ll appreciate what suspension can do. Either the trailer is too light and it’s just flitting about, skipping and bouncing over every little pebble. Or it’s loaded down, perhaps with a couple of small humans (not this trailer, but one designed for such things), and each bump feels like it’s taking away a small part of your soul. All of which I’ve experienced, so when the Burley Coho XC came out last fall, I immediately wanted to trade up from the “fully rigid” cargo trailer we’d been using to haul our Christmas tree home every year. If you’re gonna have family traditions, it might as well involve dragging the kids out to argue over which tree and then finish at a Mexican restaurant, right?

Off-road wheel included with Coho XC The suspension is a simple coil spring, nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. There’s a spring preload adjuster, but I haven’t had to touch it. It’s a stiff spring, so lighter loads will probably still bounce around a little, but with a 7′ tree strapped on board, the suspension worked like a champ to keep the wheel planted on the ground over rough, choppy bike paths, curbs and other poorly maintained street sections.
