I have experience with both but not touring. We use B.O.B. trailers to haul in trail maintenance gear to out backcounty worksites. Honestly I can't tell the difference if the trailer has suspension or not. Now granted we are on rocky singletrack with 30 pounds of trail tools. On the up side these things are amazing on singletrack. We roll tight singletrack switchbacks with the BOB and it tracks right around the turn. So much fun to ride with.
