Hi, I'm trying to decide between the BOB Revolution Duallie and the BOB Ironman Duallie. I will mainly use it for runs ranging from 3-6 miles. I live on country roads so they are a bit rough. I'm assuming the Ironman would be better. Do any of you run with the Revolution? Thanks.
i recently got a Revolution and I'm a jogger, but I haven't jogged with the Revolution yet (I jog at 6am before the kids wake). I use it as my daily city stroller. I completely love it. Its maneuverability makes it worth the size. In any case.. I thought the Ironman was for pavement? I also thought the SUS (sport utility) was for rough terrain.
I have the Revolution Dualie and LOVE IT!! I mainly run on sidewalks and bike paths but have done a bit of off-roading with it (gravel trail) and it is awesome.
I would recommend the Ironman. I have an ironman single (LOVE IT) and tried to go with a cheaper dual stroller with a revolving front wheel and I HATE it. I have heard some people that love the revolving front wheel but they tend to be walkers or very slow joggers. I will eventually be getting the ironman dualie too to replace the crappy cheap double stroller I initially got but currently am using the triple Runabout with either 2 or 3 kids at a time.
I use my revolution doulie on the gravel road all the time. You can fix the front wheel and the shocks are great for rougher terrian plus you can take it anywhere like the mall etc. good luck
Okay, not a runner...heh heh. But I have the BOB revolution duallie with the larger tires (12" maybe?) Be careful because I almost bought the 8" ones on the floor model at REI. Also, the wheel on mine can be locked or unlocked...best of both worlds? Just a thought. Good luck.
I recently got a duallie revolution and the front wheel can be fixed, seems to work well over gravels, mulched paths well enough for me. I haven't used it over super rough terrain but thats probably not something I would run with a stroller anyway. For me, the revolution is worth it as we will be using it for the mall, zoo and such
