Lightweight Teardrop Trailers

The 'Topo' Combines a Rugged Structure and Lightweight Profile

— May 1, 2018 — Autos
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.
Trend Themes
1. Lightweight Teardrop Trailers - Opportunity for innovation in creating lightweight and rugged teardrop trailers for high-speed adventuring.
2. Rugged Structure Design - Potential for disruptive innovation in creating teardrop trailers with a powder-coated frame and heavy-load suspension for durability.
3. Low-profile and High-speed Adventuring - Innovation opportunity to design teardrop trailers that are suitable for fast and low-profile adventures.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Recreation - Opportunity for the outdoor recreation industry to create lightweight teardrop trailers that cater to high-speed adventuring.
2. Automotive - Potential for the automotive industry to explore creating teardrop trailers with rugged structures and heavy-load suspension for durability on the road.
3. Tourism and Travel - Innovation opportunity for the tourism and travel industry to offer teardrop trailers designed for low-profile and high-speed adventuring experiences.
