Yep, I saw it with my own eyes. A couple days ago, I rode through San Luis Obispo and decided to swing by the BOB factory and let the guys know how their trailer was doing for me. They were super cool and showed me their brand new trailer, The Ibex. It's got suspension! I even took it for a test spin. It felt good. I imagine it would be more comfortable for trail riding, say, through the Rockies, or if you like taking your trailer over bumps at high speeds during a road tour.
The new BOB comes with eyelets for water bottle holders too. They went outta their way and put on 3 or 4, which is kinda overkill.
The only drawback is the pricetag. $390! A little steep for me, but I'll take it through South America at no charge!

Yes, we tried it out...
It works really well, and it follows extremely smooth! Great product.
