Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Yaks design enables cyclists to attach our single-wheel trailer to virtually any bike's rear wheel. The YAK's "in-line" design creates a low center of gravity, excellent aerodynamics, and all-around stability. YAK's are compatible with full-suspension bikes, as well as with bikes that have solid-axle hubs. The Plus adds a waterproof Dry Sak

Product Description

BOB Yak Plus (with Dry Sak). A great tool for a long tour or a trip to the market. This trailer couldn't be easier to attach. It tracks a straight line behind the rear trike wheel and putting your cargo below the trike axles means the load won't affect the handling.

Compatible with all trikes we currently sell. If you have a TerraTrike Path, ask us for the BOB Nutz attachment.

BOB trailers will not interfere with the fenders, seat bag, rear rack, trunk pack, or commuter bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than panniers, June 7, 2008

By	Luke Swift "El Swift" (DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A friend and I each carried a BOB trailer 3,751 miles from Dallas Tx to Fairbanks Alaska over the summer of 2003. As we rode unsupported and camped along the way, we carried all our gear in our trailers. We didn't have a single problem. I personally found the BOB extremely convenient especially since there was no need to manage gear weight placement (as with panniers). It tracks like its on rails and was stable at all speeds; we reached 51 mph descending into Flaming Gorge Utah without any fear or hesitation. Bouncing over curbs and down bumpy rutted jeep roads was also a cinch. I later tried it on single track with a Mt Bike and am convinced that it would suffice (no shock necessary) for bikepacking. The only downside is a little added weight as compared to panniers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Trailer, September 19, 2009

By	James McGowan (Biddeford, ME) - See all my reviews

This model is relatively unchanged over the past 10 years because it is meant to last. I bought mine at a Garage Sale and after 100 dollars in upgrades (the new connection system), liner for the bottom and sides, cargo bungee net, blinking light (that attaches to the bungee), and a flag, this things works amazingly. I use it to go about 8 miles into town to get groceries each week. Its stated that it holds 50 pounds, and it does that easily. I come back with a week's worth of groceries and: 3 gallons of milk and juice, 4 liters of soda, etc. I've found that it can do 50+ pounds easily just note that when you ride out of the saddle it is much harder to turn (only when you are not on your seat).

The best thing about this trailer is that you don't have to worry about hitting something. If you can fit through an obstacle (between parked cars and traffic) with your handlebars, the trailer will fit also. Because it has only 1 wheel, that wheel follows within an inch of your rear tire's track (for turning). I would without a doubt pay full price for this if I didn't see the opportunity on the side of the road. I keep a poncho which I can put under the bungee net if it rains but I'm sure the BOB Sack is great. The best thing about this trailer\company is that replaceable parts, if you needed them, are all completely online. I was able to replace the Fork system to the current system (used rubber lanyards to keep it attached to the special Quick Release bar on rear of your bike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yak Plus or IBEX?, November 4, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

I thought I was ordering the BOB with Suspension. I recieved the model with out suspension.
My problem is that I am in Thailand & I had a friend bring it with him. I can not return it. So make sure you know what you are ordering. With that said, I do like the BOB Trailer I recieved. I loaded a 25 kilogram "55 pounds" bag of salt for a brief test ride. My first thought was that feels O.K. You will notice the weight but of course you will. It does however pull & handle much easier than I would have expected.. I do not think I will actualy tour with 25 kilograms. So it will even be easier. It does make for a long & clumbsy bike when it is time to park it. I think I will get more used to how to handle that. It detaches in one minute & there is no sighn of it once it is removed from your bike. I like that. I am ridding a high quality Santa Cruz Blur full suspension bike. I put on skinney road tires. I do not think I need the trailer to have suspension. Also I saved some weight & money. My touring will be aroound Thailand on paved roads. Mostly decent condition pavement. I will carry everything in the trailer & my Female friend will just tour on a Bare bike. I think this will help her to keep pace with me.
I summary I like it & I would recommend the BOB Trailer.
