The all-new 'Topo' is an innovatively designed teardrop trailer, designed by none other than Utah-based company Escapod, which manages to achieve a spectacular balance between a rugged structure and a lightweight form factor.
This teardrop trailer makes use of a powder-coated frame, as well as a heavy-load suspension that ensures that it is more than capable of handling the rigors of the road when zooming about on its large 17-inch aluminum wheels. However, despite its ruggedness, the Topo trailer weighs in at only 680 kilograms, with its low weight enhancing its ability to cover the ground at great speeds.
While teardrop trailers are first and foremost associated with exploration, that doesn't mean they can't also be enjoyed for low-profile and high-speed adventuring, which is specifically what the Topo promises.
