142x12
A more robust and confidence-inspiring rear thru axle, about 35% stiffer than an open dropout design. And now, a thru axle wheel change is actually quick and easy.
Alpha Platinum Aluminum
Trek’s high-performance aluminium, with manipulated tube shapes to balance strength and weight saving.
DRCV shock
DRCV lets you have it all: supple small-bump feel, great pedalling efficiency, and seemingly bottomless travel for the big stuff.
E2 tapered head tube
Tapers from a 1.5" lower to a 1-1/8" upper, placing more material where it matters most for the stiffness of a full 1.5" system without the added weight.
Full Floater
Attaches the shock to two moving linkage points on the frame, for greater response over a wide variety of terrain. It feels like more travel—but it's not. It's smarter travel.
Magnesium EVO Link
Our exclusive system connects the main frame to the rear triangle with a one-piece rocker link, creating a stiffer frame for greater control with minimal weight.
Press-fit bottom bracket
Increases pedalling efficiency and allows for a more robust frame structure.
3x10
With a 10-speed cassette and a 3-ring crankset, 3x10 delivers a closer-ratio drivetrain, a wider range of gears, and increased efficiency and durability.
ABP Convert
Our patented Active Braking Pivot (ABP) offers always-active suspension. And with ABP Convert's thru-axle, it's 35% stiffer than any open dropout design.
