Burley Nomad

The Nomad is Burley's answer to touring and commuting. At just 14.5 pounds, it is light and still sturdy. Its two-wheel design makes it very suited to paved and dirt roads, it is not recommended for trail riding. The center of gravity directly over the wheels which puts very little weight to the cycle. It has a water resistant cover which offers good protection from the elements.

Nomad Parts and Accessories

Cargo Rack: Sturdy, aluminum, adjustable rack designed by Burley specifically for the Nomad. Adds extra rack space to the top of the Trailer.

Dry Bag: The cover on the Nomad works very well in most cases, but for extreme conditions and/or sensitive gear a fully waterproof bag is recommended. Ortlieb Rack Packs are an excellent example.

Shipping Cases: While we can't find any bags designed specifically for the Nomad, the Ortlieb Big Zip or the BOB Travel Bag work quite well.

Kickstand: Heavy duty, stable kickstands are always recommended for cycles that are regularly attached to trailers. The ESGE Double kickstand

Trailer Lights: The mLite is a great addition to keep your flags visibile during nighttime riding.

Safety Flag: Most Burleys come with safety flag included - more are available in case yours needs to be replaced or you would like to ride with two.

The Burley Nomad is a great do it all trailer. Some trailers are very good for light weight touring, others are good for large loads. The Nomad seems to do everything very well.
