Radical Design Cyclone: a top-notch trailer
We recently purchased the Radical Design Cyclone to tow behind our Santos tandem, and we couldn't be happier with it! You come across so many glowing reviews online, and the trailer's long track record speaks volumes about its quality. Ordering the Cyclone was quick, and it arrived at our home within just a few days. Assembly was surprisingly simple; thanks to the many YouTube videos available, it was a total breeze. Last weekend, our red-and-black Cyclone had its baptism by fire during a camping trip. Rough roads, mud, and heavy downpoursโit handled it all effortlessly. The included rain cover proved to be worth its weight in gold. The striking neon yellow color ensures excellent visibility, and the optional flag (with a smart, well-designed mounting system) adds the perfect finishing touch. On our tandem, we only use front panniers for clothing, while the Cyclone carries all our camping gear: tent, chairs, sleeping equipment, and much more. There was even a surprising amount of space left over. We were initially a bit worried that the trailer might affect the tandem's handling, but that concern proved completely unfounded. The Cyclone tows incredibly smoothly, follows the tandem effortlessly, and you hardly notice it's there. In short: we are extremely satisfied! Pros: Nice and light, fantastic handling, great finish, compact storage, loads of cargo space. Small area for improvement: a kickstand to keep the trailer horizontal while at the campsite or during packing would be ideal. Currently, the tow bar rests on the ground, causing the luggage to slide forward. That is really the only thing we would like to see improved.
