BURLEY COHO XC BIKE TRAILER | Review and test! - Utility Cargo trailer for bike 

I've just ridden 800 miles down the west coast of France towing a Burley Coho Xc. It was faultless and carried all my gear for camping and the cargo net even let me store provisions and water purchased as I went. I did use the extra panniers and the cargo bag, again they performed without fault.

Nice review, thought I would just add my experiences ... I have had my Coho for nearly two years now and go bikepacking and take my dog out generally using my e-bike and the coho trailer regularly, My lovely dog comes along with me seated in the trailer with some of our tent gear, he has a foam base (waterproof)which I installed for him to sit on whilst travelling which when we are camping and I remove for him to sleep on, my panniers are seated on the rear of my bike and not on the trailer do I use the rear mudguard of the trailer for carrying a lightweight chair and when stopping as a dining table! . The trailer handles amazingly (turning circle not good but as said in another review its easy to remove and replace simply even with panniers on) We have had no problems to date, much of my gear is in separate drybags in the trailer as this makes it easier to pack around my dog space.. I would recommend just considering the fatter tyre upgrade as the rear spring is sorta adjustable but feel the needs for a little more comfort if carrying mans best friend on longer journeys!, hillier terrain is not a problem with the ebike but if it gets a little bumpy for the dog or if its its difficult terrain and safe to do so off road he runs alongside.. but all in all a great versatile trailer!

You convinced me that's the one I need/want. Merci !

Thanks for the comprehensive review, including the flag position! Really helpful when people review things they have actually used.

This was an excellent review video. I will tune in for every other review you do!

What an excellent review. Thank you

Awesome trailer and video!

Excellent review!

I use my CoHo XC for shopping and camping. My vehicle parks during the warmer months. I absolutely LOVE my Burley CoHo XC!

Next level bikepacking - right there! Dunno if it's just me but I feel cold whenever I hear the word Baconsthorpe.

Thanks for a great presentation. Greetings from Germany.

great production! (your video)

Good review, especially the detail on the mounting to the bike, which looks really well engineered. I'd considered a Bob Yak trailer before, not dissimilar to this one. I was up at Baconsthorpe Meadows on my bike a couple of weekends back, on the pitch right next to where you filmed this vid. Thanks again for the review, need to save my pennies.

Very interesting review and I certainly wasn't expecting that. I'd love to see a second review at some point over hillier terrain. On the flats though that looks superb.

I was on tour over 4000km at June-July, with an total weight of 38kg. I went first to the pyrenaes in Spain then to Italy to the Abruzzian mountains. There was no defect at all. But I am not really satisfied with it: The trailer is difficulty to drive at higher downhill speed (up 30km/h) and side wind. As an Engineer i locate that problem at the upper tube off the frame witch makes a down sweep to the front were the variable width yoke is connected. It is also difficult to drive with very low speed at windy tracks, there is often a side force at the bicycle front wheel. And at least the dumper they used is the cheapest and baddest what is on market. It is jumping like a crowd off rabbits. Unfortunately there is no other damper fitting due proprietary mechanical dimensions.

Excellent review

I’d just purchased mine, I can’t wait to attach it to my “Boss E Bike” and do a wide range journey… mahalo 🤙🏽😎🤙🏽

Whoever develops the e-assist in-hub motor for a trailer will be my hero

interesting idea. You say you could feel it up the hills, but were they 'big hills'. I went around Suffolk / Norfolk a few months ago, my first week-long trip, and I was pushing A LOT around Dedham. I think I spotted the PodSac plastic cage mounts on your front forks. I moved to these after struggling with the Blackburn Outpost cage mounts. The mounts were fine, but I struggled to attach them securely to my suspension forks. The Podsac ones connect much better with the jubille clips that slot into grooves on the cages, and don't move an inch.

Combined with an eBike I’ve managed to ween myself off my car for shopping and hauling tools for local work.

He says touring bike then shows a madone! Good video!

this seems really nice! I liket to know how to best choose between his one and their Nomad trailer... Feel is hard to tell which one to go with.... can someone who seen both and tested them share some insight how to choose between them... thanks everyone! :)

happy indeed... thx

Hi Andrew ....just discovered you channel and find it very informative and entertaining, just wondered what DIVUM means or stands for? keep up the good work and thanks for uploading atb Darren

this is definitely the trailer im going for. thank you for the review. could you please give a link for the TREK bike you showed. id like to look it up

Most, maybe all one-wheel chassis cargo trailers endanger stability and make steering hard. Especially when you load it unevenly. Take a two-wheel trailer.

Very nice review. What else did you consider? I am also looking at Topeak Journey, which is a bit lighter I believe, but I do like the look of the kickstand and versatile mud flap/pannier rack/seat on the Burley. What are the inside dimensions?

That is a superb design. I take it the trailer has a pivot point where the U shapre from the wheel meets the vertical pole before the main hold area? The mudgard / seat part looks nice and sturdy, I was thinking of a trailer and mounting a flexible solar panel to charge an ebike battery and take 2 batteries to have on charging in the back all day. The solar panel would double as a rain cover. Do you feel that the one wheel design makes it less likely to tip over on a corner? The reason I asked is because I made a wood trailer for my ebike but tipped it over after clipping the kerb, it caused a bit of a situation with drivers glaring and tutting at me as I gathered my bits together (I haven't used it since!)

What brand is the tent you are using in the video? It looks fantastic!

I wonder about your experience with the trailer and the Trek Madone road bike combo. Are there any concerns to tow the trailer reasonably loaded with regards to the frame of the Trek, whether it is of aluminium or CF type?! Thanks!

I’m not able to find any info on locking the coho to prevent it from being stolen. Is it possible to lock the hitch or do I need to have a longer chain to lock it to the bike frame somehow? Thanks for a great review

That one can sit on the mudguard has become a dealbreaker on my shortlist..

Thanks for making this video. Do you think I can Carrey another bike on top of this trailer? In other words, I need a trailer where I can care one bike on top of it for days I need to take my bike to the repair shop

I have a Riese and muller foldable bike with 18inch wheels. Do yo think I would still have enough clearence from the ground you think ? Thx for the video !

I'm looking at purchasing one of these tomorrow .also need the bolt through axle the same size as yours as my bike is electric Evans cycle do these trailers £379 struggling to find bolt through Axel. Where did you get your axle from? thanks great video

I love the trailer but still too heavy, mostly I am getting the extrawheel...only 2 kg...

May I know where you bought your portable stove ? Thanks !

Could you use it for doing groceries? And that mounting system might be a risk that somebody could steal it while you are in the shop...

What brand of tent in this video? What brand of stove?

How do you lock it up.when shopping

would you recommend this for a long trip?

With the size of that trailer, you could of taken a wood stove and possibly a kitchen sink ……… Errrrrrr ……you did 😳😳

How would the trailer attach to an ebike with a rear hub motor?

Can you add a trailer to the trailer?

Seats are pleasant...

On the contrary, it's impossible to mount to my bike, it simply doesn't work with Sturmey Archer (or other) hub gears since the gear change toggle chain enters through the end of the axle into the hub. This renders it an utterly useless & overpriced garage ornament for anyone with a sensible urban bike.

An incredibly well done video music sucked🤷‍♂️
