Did you mean the reveres? Suspended for full load tour....
Unsuspended trikes tend to ride rather roughly, especially since one
tends to hit potholes with the rear wheel after straddling them with
the front wheels. However, a heavy touring load will tend to smooth out
the ride on an unsuspended trike.
Trikes are subject to significantly higher torsional loads than
bicycles. Putting a heavy load on a suspended trike will likely result
in rapid wear of suspension pivots and spring/shock mounting points.
