There is also a £4,200 Powerfly Plus with 2.8in tyres. Aluminium frames with 100mm travel forks up front. The Trek Powerfly hardtails start at £2,300 and go up to £3,300. There are three electric mountain bike types: Powerfly, Powerfly FS and Powerfly LT Plus. Complete build Sessions are all 27.5in wheel and deliver 210mm of rear travel. And now available as a frameset as a 29er with 190mm of travel. It’s a bold move by Trek but one that makes the Slash arguably the most defined model in their range. The 160mm travel enduro racing Trek Slash range is all 29in wheels and carbon only for 2018. Starting from £1,800 for aluminium versions they top out at £6,500 for the top end carbon version. They can be run with either wheel size but are initially purchased with one or the other. The Trek Fuel EX 130mm travel, full sus, all-rounder, trail bikes come as either 29er or as 27.5 Plus. This damping design claims to ‘know’ which forces are coming from the pedals/rider and which forces are coming from the trail, and it reacts accordingly. The idea is to prevent the suspension from locking up during rear braking.įuel EX, Remedy and Top Fuel bikes also have RE:aktiv rear shock damping. The rear wheel axle is also the rear pivot. There are five Trek full susser types: Fuel EX, Remedy, Top Fuel, Slash and Session.Īll Trek full sus bikes use a version of the ‘ABP’ suspension design. They roll on some seriously large rubber! Monster trucking hardtails. The Trek Stache bikes are rather unique in that they are 29er Plus bikes. All Procalibers have the ‘IsoSpeed Decoupler’ feature of deliberate flex. Although the frame material varies the intent of Procalibers is the same: xc racing. The £1,300 to £6,500(!) Trek Procaliber cross-country race bike range can look a a bit confusing there are aluminium Procalibers, OCLV carbon Procalibers and Super Light OCLV Procalibers. The frame has internal routing for dropper posts and is made from Trek’s ‘Alpha Gold’ aluminium.

The Trek Roscoe range of Plus-tyred trail hardtails running from £800 to £ 1,250. The components are of a higher quality than the Marlins. The frames have internal routing for stealth dropper seatposts. The frame is Trek’s ‘Gold Alpha’ aluminium. The Trek X-Caliber cross-country range starts from £650 and tops out at £1,150. The frame is Trek’s ‘Silver Alpha’ aluminium. Thee are four models in total (the Marlin 4, 5, 6 and 7). The Trek Marlin is an entry level cross-country focussed hardtail ranging from £370 up to £550. Some of their high end hardtails have the ‘IsoSpeed Decoupler’ configuration where the seat tube is designed to flex for compliance. Trek use their own proprietary frame materials.

There are five hardtail models in Trek’s range: Marlin, X-Caliber, Roscoe, Procaliber and Stache. We’re not going to go into any debates or theorising (hardtail vs full suspension, 27.5 vs 29, Plus vs Fat etc etc). We’re going to assume that you already know the type of mountain bike you want. With those two category types chosen you’ll be left with a much smaller pool of Trek models to consider. Once you’ve chosen one of the three categories you can refine it to the type of riding you want to do: cross-country, trail or downhill. We think it’s best to split the whole range into three categories and then go from there: hardtail, full suspension and electric. > Trek road bikes: which model is right for you?
