I have finally taken delivery of the Hydra-Trail and can confirm that it is very well engineered.
I have not tested it with my motorbike yet as am away but will post a report in a couple of weeks.
For those of you who have ordered one be aware that a certain amount of building is required (the rack ships in 4 packages) and there are no instructions save for the colour brochure with the exploded pictures.
As to whether it is a trailer or a rack I will certainly be classing it (for ferry purposes) as a rack as to my mind a trailer should articulate.
Is this another A frame grey area that we can argue about for years to come?
Whatever the result it will have a large impact on who can and can't use one.
If it is a trailer then there are plenty of people who will not be able to use one because of their licence restrictions.
I it is not a trailer then the whole weight of rack and bike will be added on to your MH weight putting most over the weight limit.
I know the manufacturers state that 80% of the weight is not on your MH but put it on a weigh bridge and it's all included in your weight and will put a lot of people over the limit.
I personally think that it is a trailer (but stand to be corrected) so remember no 3rd lane overtakes on the motorway and reduced speed limits etc etc.
