Actually, I am in the market for another ride. Can you give some
brands that are currently offering the rear suspension????
Trice (Inspired Cycle Engineering (ICE) ) and HP Velotechnik both offer rear
wheel suspended trikes and also fully $u$pended trikes. IIRC Challenge also
makes a trike with rear suspension. There're probably one or two more if you
search.
I have not ridden a fully suspended trike, but rear suspension provides
adequate comfort for almost all on-road conditions.
I have to wonder how well rear suspension would hold up with a rack,
saddlebags, and pulling a BoB trailer........Something to ponder.....
I would suggest using a two-wheel trailer with a suspended trike, as the
single wheel trailers will put higher torsional loads on the suspension
pivots.
