RWW enduro Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) seriously considering one since I feel there is no better way to camp other than tent camping since you literally can just pick any spot of a trail and dont have to worry about anything being full and not be tied down to a spot. issue is, alllll the gear I have to constantly strap on and take off. esp water bottles for showers. yes that is what I have been using. with this, seems I can just load all my camping gear on this...and gas! anyhow, anyone on this forum owns one? hopefully someone has some feedback...more interested on how it does on the harsher stuff. https://kipmoto.com/collections/trailers/products/sherpax-lightweight-dual-sport-trailer Edited July 5, 2020 by RWW enduro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
William1 My Rides (2) Posted July 5, 2020 On fire roads? Sure. Off road? Nope. That is a lot of mass and length to add on. At least strapped to the bike, you are not also dealing with the weight of the trailer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NORTY Posted July 5, 2020 I could see something like that on the Al-Can highway, or the Dalton. Gotta wonder if the State of Calif would require a plate on that. And insurance... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GBRG07 Posted July 5, 2020 I saw one going down the highway here a couple of days ago behind an Enduro. Looked good. Video sure looks like it works well, I imagine there will be a learning curve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WRider995 Posted July 5, 2020 Based on that video it looks like it does well. I like your chances. we do an annual off road tour in UP of Mi with varied combos of backpacks, racks, saddlebags. That looks like it could be an option. We try to be minimalists, most of us. And water isnt an issue. I do a backpack with tent and sleeping bag strapped on a rear rack. No saddlebags for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slackkinhard Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) switchbacks are going to be a bitch I can only imagine how that behaves with a bunch of weight Edited July 6, 2020 by Slackkinhard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treehopper Posted July 6, 2020 I have a single wheel trailer for my bicycle. It's almost unnoticeable on the move. Very awkward when stopped. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im pretty "ok" on switchbacks now so i think ill be ok with. the downhill right turn switchbacks im usually awful at and need to back it up. think I might use this trailer though for camping spots off 50in trails or single tracks I know i know ill do ok in. so far no reply from this guy. hoping to get an email soon. would love to place an order asap on it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmc205 My Ride Posted July 6, 2020 by the way the trailer moved/bounced in that kip moto video, i'm guessing the trailer was either empty or very light. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slackkinhard Posted July 6, 2020 funny story, as a kid I lived in rural Oregon and they were building this new subdivision of houses....they had an 'open house' for the model homes and they flew a giant balloon high in the air to advertise. My buddy and I figured we were going to steal that balloon and go tie it off on the bumper of a friends house...so we rode my sisters banana seat bike down there and tied the end of the rope to the sissy bar and I hopped on with the idea I was going to ride away when gavin released it.......well, I pedaled but it pulled the ass end up and I'd lose traction. I was almost heavy enough to keep it down, but it was almost neutral. If I hit a bump the backend would lift up and I'd get all squirrely til I leaned back more. It was scary as hell...thought I was really going to bite it a few times. Finally couldn't do it any further. Stopped and tied it off to a mailbox cluster. It was still there the next morning. I've always wondered what those folks thought. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always wondered what those folks thought. Nice. We had some developers build a spec house on the property adjacent to ours, I'd ride my dirtbike around the site cause they had loose dirt pushed up and i made a couple jumps. Right as they finished building it, it caught fire one night and burned to the ground because we were so rural. The developers and the cops were convinced I burned it, but I protested my innocence and nothing was ever proved. They had left a pile of stain rags on the front porch facing the south and spontaneous combustion was what the final determination was.

Dirtstache 556 Posted July 7, 2020 I'm guessing the idea is to haul your stuff to a base camp and then unload and remove it. Think it could work well for that, but wouldn't want to do most of my riding with that thing hanging off the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think it could work well for that, but wouldn't want to do most of my riding with that thing hanging off the back. 100% thing weighs 30lbs so i can just load it on the truck if i go far. Prob be much quicker to set up the trailer vs adding all my camp gear on the 701. Actually planning another trip in CO where i wish i had this trailer so i can set it off on some 50in trail away from the crowd. Emailed him bit no response. Anyone knows any other brand?
