A trailer built for rugged terrain deserves a test that goes beyond smooth pavement.
Recently, Men's Journal took the Coho® XC into the field, putting our single-wheel cargo trailer through its paces on an off-grid farm property. What started as a product test quickly became a demonstration of what’s possible when you have a capable way to haul gear beyond the pavement.
The Coho® XC tackled muddy trails, uneven terrain, and daily hauling duties while carrying everything from tools to supplies. Reviewer, Mike Misselwitz, highlighted the trailer’s ability to track smoothly behind a bike, navigate tight spaces, and remain stable under heavy load. These qualities have made the Coho® XC a favorite among bikepackers, adventurers, and everyday riders alike.
Misselwitz also called out several features that stood out in real-world use, including the suspension system, lightweight aluminum frame, quick-release hitch, and generous 70 lb cargo capacity. Together, these design elements helped make hauling gear feel less like a chore and more like part of the ride.
One detail that helps make the Coho® XC so versatile is its broad bike compatibility. Burley offers a range of Coho® XC Thru Axles in multiple thread pitches and lengths, including options for bikes with SRAM Universal Derailleur Hangers (UDH). These adapters make it possible to securely connect the Coho® XC to a wide variety of gravel, mountain, and road bikes, helping more riders take advantage of the trailer's cargo-carrying capabilities. Additional Coho Nutted Axle Adapters and Coho® 5mm Skewers assist with compatibility.
At Burley, that's what the Coho® XC is all about: expanding what's possible by bike. Whether you're heading deep into the backcountry, managing projects around a property, or simply carrying more gear on your next adventure, the Coho® XC is built to help you bring what you need and keep moving forward.
