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.

Climb-Trail-Descend

CTD gives you three suspension adjustment options: Climb, Trail, or Descend. It’s a simple, intuitive, high-performance system available on select Fox shocks and forks.

3x10

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