Chassis
Escapade is the only manufacturer to combine the body and frame to make a single trailer unit. This steel T-Chassis is integrated into the trailer body, which lowers the trailer’s center of gravity and ensures stable performance in all riding situations. This gives the trailer a smooth flat surface over which air can travel unobstructed and greatly enhances the cargo deck's strength.
Suspension
The Escapade trailer’s legendary handling is the product of a brilliantly engineered suspension system. The trailer incorporates an air shock system with an independent trailing swing arm design. The shocks have been designed by the industry leader - Progressive Suspension, Inc. The special damping cartridge gives superior damping even when the trailer is towed empty, which equates to no bounce under any condition.
Tracking
The supurb tracking of the Escapade trailers are partly due to its United States Department of Transportation approved 12 in. wheels and 4.80 x 12 in. tubeless tires. These larger than average wheels and tires have a greater gyroscopic effect when turning at highway speeds. The increase in width also means more tread to road surface contact in order to grip the road and eliminate swaying tendencies of thinner tires. Because the wheels are a standard automotive size, they are easily replaceable even in those out-of-the-way rural areas (standard equipment is painted white wheel; chrome wheels are an additional option).
Body and Finish
The bodies are hand made and custom finished at badboycustom. Our in-house fiberglass and paint departments ensure the highest degree of quality control and our color matching capability is unsurpassed. Bodies are painted using top of the line urethane paints and clears, with a two to three part paint process and three clear coats. For GL1800 colors, we use the same paints and clears supplied to Honda. Bodies are wet sanded and then polished in a two-step process to achieve an amazing paint finish.
Lighting
Greater visibility means greater safety. Escapade Trailer exceeds the trailer light standards set by the United States Department of Transportation. All lighting is connected to the bike's power supply with a substantial wiring harness that is firmly secured inside the trailer. There is no external wiring except at the tongue connection. For even more visibility, request the spoiler with LED brake light.
Storage Capacity
Spaciousness that can’t be beat. With an Escapade you will get over 25 cu. ft. of storage space. This will include an integrated spare tire compartment and utility storage areas designed to maintain a flat surface on the trailer deck (LE, SE and Elite models)
