Internal Storage
The internal frame storage allows you to leave the backpack behind while still keeping your ride essentials handy.
Adjust the sus for full send
Easily adjust the leverage rate with a quick flip of a chip. Use the "Less Progressive" setting for a smoother, more cushioned ride ideal for rough terrain and sharp bumps. Switch to the "More Progressive" mode when tackling larger obstacles to prevent bottoming out, or if you're opting for a coil shock.
Size-specific stays
Chainstays designed to match each frame size ensure agile handling for smaller riders while enhancing front wheel traction during climbs for taller riders, delivering a well-balanced ride across all sizes.
Need to Make an Adjustment?
You can easily modify your head tube angle with angle-adjust cups, allowing you to make it one degree slacker or steeper to suit your riding style.
SRAM Eagle AXS drivetrain
Experience precise and rapid gear shifts with Eagle AXS wireless electronic drivetrains, even under heavy loads. These drivetrains are both water and dust-resistant, and the AXS app allows you to customize your settings effortlessly.
Complete Tubeless System
Tubeless Ready rims and tires allow you to go tube-free for improved traction, reduced flats, and lighter weight. The setup comes complete with TLR rim strips, valves, and sealant, so you’re ready to hit the trails right away.
Carbon Wheels loyalty programme
Our Bontrager carbon wheels loyalty programme ensures that if your wheels are damaged within two years of buying them, you can replace or repair them for free.
Rapid Drive 108 rear hub
offers 108 engagement points, providing near-instant acceleration with minimal lag when you pedal. This allows for smooth, immediate power delivery, perfect for accelerating out of corners and powering through rough terrain. The additional pedal engagement enhances control, making a significant difference during challenging climbs.
Oversized 34.9mm dropper post
A larger diameter offers increased support and strength for longer travel droppers, enhancing durability and enabling quicker, more reliable adjustments.
Mino Link adjustable geometry
Adjust your head tube angle by 0.5° and bottom bracket height by up to 10mm with a quick turn of a nut. Flip the link to switch between slack or even slacker geometry while maintaining optimal suspension performance. This feature is exclusive to Trek.
