What is the advantage of using the Nomad trailer instead of panniers?
A. The Nomad allows you to easily take 100 pounds of gear with you, while not compromising the stability and maneuverability of your bicycle. To take this amount of gear with panniers, you would need to use four bags, two in front and two in the rear. With the weight directly loaded on the bicycle it makes the bike handle differently and it can wear on your bike. The Burley trailer hitch is designed to provide superior tracking and the weight in the trailer is balanced to provide a smooth ride. Towing a Nomad enables you to keep the load off of the bike so that your bike handles normally.
