      Comments about BOB Ibex Plus FS Trailer:

      I used the trailer for various mtn bike expeditions with three children. It follows every line you choose. It is an execellent trailer for hauling gear and can carry quite a bit without overloading it. The waterproof drybag is an awesome piece of gear when it is pouring, or muddy and works well later hauling gear around when off the bike. The suspension keeps the trailer smooth and never jerky behind you. It takes a beating and just keeps on hauling. If you have to carry gear (obviously I do with a 2, 6 and 8 year old)- this is the way to do it! I just need to talk BOB into a conversion kit for using it as a hiker!

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about BOB Ibex Plus FS Trailer:

        I brought my IBEX with me to Patagonia, for 6 weeks of brutal riding with all of my camping gear. The trailer handled like a dream on what were undoubtedly the worst roads I've seen. Huge climbs, washboards, fist-sized rocks...still I hardly knew I had the trailer behind me. The single wheel tracks beautifully, and the trailer is amazingly sturdy. My only problem was a bent pin...easily replaced.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        I've used this trailer for a few years now--almost consistantly--and I love it! Taken trips from the Californial coast, over the mountains to the desert on dirt trails and have no complaints. Use it to carry everything to and from work. Very comfortable to ride with. Stable at hight sppeds as well.

          Comments about BOB Ibex Plus FS Trailer:

          I bought my Ibex from a friend for a good deal. Now that I know how great they are, I would have gladly paid full price. I'm leaving for a cross country tour this summer, and I feel safe with my Ibex behind me. Plenty of storage room, without sacrificing a comfortable ride. After the initial setup, it's fast enough for short rides to the grocery store,

          Comments about BOB Ibex Plus FS Trailer:

          This thing is so cool. I love that I can just detach it from my bike so quickly and re-attach it just as easily. It's really easy to forget it's there unless you're doing some serious towing but even then it's no biggie. The only thing is that attaching it can be a little awkward because you have to hold the bike up and align the trailer hitch at the same time which can get a little tricky especially if your trailer is heavily laden. But I don't think it gets any better than this. The single-wheel design is brilliant because it is more conducive to mountain biking and much less bulky than a two-wheel trailer when riding. I weigh 230 lbs and I sat in it with my friend pulling (not recommended) and it did not even hint at any failure.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Fantastic Ride but Not Easy to Fly with

          By Spur of the Moment

          from Providence, RI

          Pros

          • Comfortable Ride
          • Lightweight
          • Sturdy

          Cons

          • Does not collapse
          • Strain on back tire

          Best Uses

          • Street Riding

          Comments about BOB Ibex Plus FS Trailer:

          I used one of these trailers on a tour from AZ to FL - it worked wonderfully. The BOB is so much more flexible than panniers, can easily add weight and gear, and with the rafting bag that comes with the trailer you don't ever have to worry about it leaking. The downsides: I has some spoke issue along the way and had to purchase a new back rim. If you are considering using one definitely be sure you have a quality back rim that can support the weight - a testimonial - not just a "yeah it should be fine." The biggest downside is that it does not collapse which makes taking it on a plane expensive - right now $100 one way!!
