The SportsRig® MicroTrailer® carries bikes, storage boxes, and boats in your vehicles slipstream.

With gas at almost four dollars a gallon, SportsRig® Deluxe is ready for its closeup. Hauling boats behind your vehicle, rather than on strapped to its roof, is guaranteed to lower your fuel consumption, especially on the highway. At 220 pounds, the Deluxe is light enough to tow with a fuel sipping four cylinder car, yet it's tough motorcycle suspension ad 18 inches of clearance handle mild off-road conditions with ease. Welder Ken Adkison hand-builds all his patented SportsRig® models in Morro Bay, California, using steel rather than less durable aluminum, and gives each one a powder and clear coat finish for rust proofing. The 22 inch motorcycle wheels absorb interstate speeds and enhance style. Four crossbars accept most Yakima or Thule rack accessories and carry up to 450 pounds, while the folding tongue can prop the trailer on end for easy storage. Customize your rig for longer boats with three extended tongue options.
