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.


OCLV Mountain Carbon

Trek's mountain-specific carbon fiber is tougher carbon, with unique materials and layup 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 fiber bottom bracket shell reduces weight and increases stiffness.

Hydraulic disc brakes

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

15QR

A 15mm front thru axle makes steering more precise for more control, and the quick-release feature makes wheel removal easy.

Remote lockout

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

2x10

A 10-speed cassette and 2-ring crankset deliver a full range of useable gears, with less weight and easier, smoother shifting.
