Trek Deluxe GoBug |
Burley D'Lite |
|
Quality |
Oversize frame
tubing for stronger roll cage and ultimate
safety. |
Standard (smaller
diameter) tubing. |
|
Hitch in Trek will
work well on almost any bike including those
with disc brakes and full suspension. |
For bikes with disc
brakes and/or full suspension an alternate hitch
is required at an additional cost of $40. |
|
65 psi tires roll
easier. |
Burley copied Trek
here for 2008. |
|
Genuine sealed
cartridge bearings in all wheels for easier
rolling and pulling. They also wear better and
there is no adjustment to deal with. |
Sealed cartridge
bearing on trailer wheels only. Jogger wheel
still uses cone & ball system. |
|
Safety |
Abundant reflective
material can be seen from all four sides. |
Minimal reflective
striping on sides and back. |
|
Center upper frame
support (spine) for added protection and safety. |
Burley does not
have this. |
|
Parking brake
"chocks" or stops both hubs securely. |
The trailer itself
does not have a brake. The brake is part of the
optional jogger attachment. |
|
Comfort
and
Convenience |
Front jogger wheel
has adjustable tracking for sure and straight
tracking and performance. |
Adjustable now but
not as user-friendly. |
|
Push-button
quick-release wheels easier to operator in Trek. |
Standard
quick-release levers. |
|
Ergonomic jogger
handle is adjustable for people of different
heights and folds down when not being used. |
Straight handle
must be installed and removed when being used or
not used. Troublesome to adjust. |
|
Easy entry split
side loading for children. |
Front load system. |
|
Quick release
trailer hitch is easier and quicker to use than
Burley's. |
Burley copied Trek
here for 2008. For an additional $40 (option)
the Burley offers their alternative hitch. |
|
Padded shoulder
straps and seats. |
Burley copied Trek
here for 2004. |
|
Greater window area
and visibility for children. |
Burley is good here
but Trek is nicer. |
|
Wheel guards
(fender) |
Burley uses a mini
wheel guard now. It is another improvement for
Burley where they copied Trek for 2008. |
|
Parent's view
window. |
Burley does not
have this. |
|
Flow-through
ventilation. |
Burley does not
breathe like the Trek. |
|
Framed-in cargo
area for more serious storage and added trailer
strength. |
Burley does not
have this. |
|
Value |
Comes with jogger
kit at no extra cost. |
Burley offers this
for an additional $100. |
- Better price
and ultimately better value.
- Better
resale. Show this to any potential buyer of a
used trailer -- especially a Trek owner who
would like a Trek trailer to match.
- It is like we
say at the top of this data sheet: compare!
|
We sincerely wish
the Burley buyer good luck here. The Burley is
still a good trailer. It is just that the Trek
is better and priced better. The Trek is simply
a better value. |
