<\/p>\n

Just two years ago, Veolo unveiled a lightweight two-wheeled trailer designed to make every cyclist from bikepackers to cargo bike enthusiasts, rethink if… maybe a trailer was a better solution to hauling more gear. Now, they are back with the Veolo Bike Trailer 2.0 – a lighter, lower-profile, faster-rolling, more stable, and easier-to-use version that builds on everything that made their first independent-suspension trailer a nice solution for carrying more by bike. Plus, Veolo now offers more add-on options tailored to bringing your dog on adventures, hauling a boat or board to the lake, or just more secure ways to carry a week’s shopping or a weekend’s adventure gear…<\/p>\n

Why load your bike down with top-heavy bags? Or why would you need to buy a dedicated bike just to haul 4 bags of groceries home from the store, or to carry something even bigger? Instead, why not keep your high-performance bike light for most of the time. Then, just hook up a lightweight and fast-rolling trailer for those bike trips that really do need to haul a lot more gear.<\/p>\n

That’s the concept behind the original Veolo bike trailer, and it’s still the core principle behind version 2.0. Only this time, the new trailer does everything better, lighter, and is easier to live with day to day.<\/p>\n

What’s new? <\/h3>\n
\"Veolo<\/a><\/figure>\n

Lighter weight, narrower form factor, better weight distribution<\/em><\/h4>\n

More than 20% weight reduction is pretty solid starting point. The original Veolo trailer was already pretty lightweight at 8.5kg. But now this one is so light, if it was a bike, the UCI wouldn’t let you race it! <\/p>\n

Now, just 6.7kg.<\/p>\n

Veolo calls the 2.0 the “lightest sprung multi-function trailer<\/em>” and definitely the “lightest sprung dog trailer<\/em>“, too!<\/p>\n

Plus, the new trailer is a ~8.5cm narrower overall and a few centimeters longer shape (Veolo calls the frame 10cm narrower & 10cm longer<\/em>), that also happens to sit your load 2cm lower. That means there’s a bit lower frontal area to pull through the wind. But probably more importantly, it gives the Veolo 2.0 trailer a lower center of gravity for more stability over irregular terrain and improved cornering handling.<\/p>\n

Its narrower design has also been optimized to sit more centrally in-line behind modern 142mm spaced thru-axles bikes. <\/p>\n

More refined load basket, tires & mounting hitch system<\/em><\/h4>\n

Looking more closely, it’s also nice to see the move to a reinforced fabric platform for the main basket of the trailer vs. the bent aluminum sheet of the original. The change not only reduces weight, but means that the trailer will compress flat when not in use, taking up less storage space. Just the height\/thickness of the frame, really.<\/p>\n

The new fabric basket, with new carbon-composite stiffener crossbars, also includes new magnetic anchor points that make it easy to quickly clip on the included load straps. But they also serve as attachment points for several of Veolo’s Add-On accessories to tailor your trailer for ‘everyday, water sports, dog, and camping’ activities.<\/p>\n

There’s also a shift to more burly & versatile 2″ Kenda Small Block Eight tires. Compared to the first generation’s lower-volume 44mm Big Apples, this should mean less bouncing around on anything beyond perfectly smooth roads, and it means the trailer can run lower pressures for a smoother ride for whatever you are hauling.<\/p>\n

The Veolo 2.0 trailer still uses the common Chariot\/Thule rubber ball hitch standard, which is convenient. But Veolo created an all-new much lighter-weight hitch with a smart, one-handed quick-attach & release design and an integrated locking mechanism. Saving more than 100g off the hitch alone is a pretty big deal, since that will stay on people’s bikes effectively permanently once you bolt it onto a hitch-ready thru-axle. And the standard cast Thule hitch just feels unnecessarily heavy!<\/p>\n
