  • Shimano M522 crank
  • Shimano Deore front derailleur & shifters
  • Shimano SLX rear derailleur
  • Avid Elixir 3 hydraulic disc

Alpha Platinum Aluminum

Trek's premium alloy, formed into sophisticated tube shapes for maximum strength and minimum weight.

ABP Convert

Our patented Active Braking Pivot allows your suspension to work freely whether you’re on the brakes or off. It’s smooth, controlled suspension that’s at its best all the time.

26" wheels

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

E2 tapered head tube

E2 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.

Internal derailleur routing

Route your front derailleur cable through the frame to keep your bike running smooth and clean.

Full Floater

We attach the shock to two moving linkage points 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.

15QR

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

Suspension lockout

Lock out the suspension fork for efficient riding on smooth terrain.

3x10

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

Hydraulic disc brakes

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