No-compromise engineering, tricked-out componentry, and a World Cup pedigree make Elite Carbon 9 Series the carbon hardtail to beat… if you could, which you can't.

Upgrades from Elite 8.8

  • OCLV Mountain Carbon frame

OCLV Mountain Carbon

Trek's mountain-specific carbon fibre is tougher carbon, with unique materials and lay-up procedures, Trek's advanced engineering, and a higher standard of testing.

OCLV Mountain tested

Nobody tests like Trek. It's how we know our carbon is the toughest, and the best.

26" wheels

The MTB standard for versatility, light weight, and maneuverability.

Fully-integrated head tube

A fully-integrated head tube eliminates the need for headset cups, reducing overall weight without sacrificing performance.

BB90

A press-fit carbon fibre bottom bracket shell reduces weight and increases stiffness.

Hydraulic disc brakes

Ultimate control and stopping power in all conditions, including wet and muddy.

Remote lockout

Handlebar-mounted controls let you lock out your suspension on the fly as you switch terrains.

3x10

A 10-speed cassette and 3-ring crankset deliver a closer-ratio drivetrain, a wider range of gears, and increased efficiency and durability.
