Australasian Dirt Bike — January 2018

Loading: Loading a trailer is easy. It’s
low to the ground and most trailers
will come with a ramp or rear door
that will fold down into a ramp.
Tiedown points are plentiful and you
can throw whatever you need in the
trailer without strapping it in.
The only problem area is loading
adventure bikes with tall
windscreens.
We had issues where the roof
wouldn’t close because the ’screen
was too tall. In these cases you might
have to remove the ’screen.
Oh, and remember to attach the
trailer to your vehicle before you
load!
6/10

Gangsta factor: If you’re driving

mum’s shopping trolleywithatrailer

you’re not going to look cool. A

vinyl-wrapped, enclosed trailer

maybe,butthat’saboutit.

4/10

Piloting: If you can put up with the

body roll of a four-wheel-drive then it

is among the best to drive. Most

four-wheel-drives are loaded with

tech such as reverse cameras, GPS

and Bluetooth, making the ride most

comfortable. They also have the

plushest suspension,yousituphigh

in traffic, and will destroy anything

and anyone you hit.

6/10

Fifth wheels: It goes without saying,

this is the best thing for carting your

mates to the track. The size of the

trailer will be the limiting factor

here,notthenumberofseatsinthe

car.

9/10

Motel on wheels: You can sleep in

the trailer, which gets you out of the

elements, but if it’s freezing you can

even fold down seats in the car and

sleep in there if you want, like

Motocross Editor Lee Hogan has done

in the Audi.

Cash money: It’s an expensive setup.
