There are four reacha SPORT models: SPORT SHORT, SPORT LONG, SPORT XXL und SPORT PRO. Each model comes in different variants depending on the choice of wheel sets and load compartment.
You can get a good overview of the different reacha models on our bicycle trailer collection page, but here are the most important differences.
The frame:
All four SPORT models have the same frame, although there are differences in the width of the centre tubes. SHORT, LONG and PRO have the normal centre tubes. The PRO also has a reinforced drawbar mount. The XXL, on the other hand, has centre tubes that are 10 cm wider.
The drawbar:
We have three different drawbars: short, long and extra extra long - SHORT, LONG and XXL. The SPORT PRO also uses the LONG drawbar, but the drawbar mounts are reinforced to withstand higher loads in manual mode.
We also offer a WEBER drawbar as an accessory for all models, which enables connection to the rear wheel axle.
The tires:
We offer SHORT, LONG und XXL with three different wheel sets. The compact 20” tires are ideal for the road and has the smallest pack size. If you want to go faster on paved roads or when ground clearance is important, then the street 24” tires are recommended. Off road and in the sand, the beach 20” fat bike tires with stainless steel wheel bearings come into play.
The PRO, on the other hand, has particularly large 26" fat bike tires with stainless steel wheel bearings, so that it can be pulled through the sand even when heavily loaded.
The load area:
We offer all reacha models either with a textile trunk as a loading area [“trunk”] or with a platform as a loading area [“platform”].
The "trunk" is a textile bag that has open corners on the sides. With the help of the Velcro fasteners, it can be adjusted to the length and width of the frame. When disassembled, the trunk can be used as a carrying bag for the reacha.
The “platform”, on the other hand, has a fixed width and is attached to the center rails of the frame. If the frame is set wider, a side loading bracket (“bow”) can be used to transport items such as a SUP board upright. In addition, the platform can optionally be expanded to form a box with side walls as accessories.
Connection to the bike:
Please note that all reacha models do not include a bicycle adapter. Many reacha customers use the SPORT, LONG, PRO and XXL models exclusively as hand trolleys and the correct coupling for the WEBER drawbar depends on the bicycle to which the trailer is to be attached.
SHORT, LONG, PRO und XXL can be connected to the bike's saddle pole with the so-called Bike Connector 2.0. This allows long items to be transported to protrude beyond the rear tire, giving you even more transport length.
Accessories:
SHORT, LONG und XXL come without any additional accessories apart from the frame, drawbar, possibly wheel set and loading area. With the PRO, on the other hand, two additional loading brackets with side walls are included in the price.
Conclusion:
For transport in the city and objects up to 1.5 meters, we recommend the SPORT SHORT.
SPORT LONG and SPORT PRO are designed for sports equipment up to a length of 4.5 meters. For particularly high loads in manual operation, we recommend the reacha PRO up to 80kg payload.
For everything beyond 4.5 meters (canoes, two-seaters, collapsible boats, fishing kayaks, etc.) the SPORT XXL comes into play.
The choice of the right wheel set and the right loading area depends heavily on your application and cannot be answered in general terms. On the product pages you will find further information to help you make the right decision.
