Hi,everyone I am looking at the woosh Bermuda or big bear I weigh 87kg plus I have a fair amount of camera gear 10kg. Woosh said big bear but I like the look of the Bermuda more. PS as you may guess I am just back to cycling after 30 years off.

Hello BK,

The Bermuda can pull you up 8%-10% hills on throttle. The Big Bear has about 10% more pulling power. If you live in a very hilly area, then Big Bear is better.

Hello BK :)

If you live in a flatter area, then I guess you could go for the Bermuda, but if you're going to put it under a lot of load, go big or go home.

If I were you I'd want to try both, then make my mind up from there.

I quite like the idea of warning people about the big bear in my garage! :D

I have a Bermuda and near me is a steep hill, about 1 in 5, it is short but with a bit of effort on my part the Bermuda goes up ok.
