Supercaliber 9.7

Overview

You want one cross-country racing bike that works perfectly on all courses. You’re looking for a light frame, cutting-edge suspension technology and race-ready components so you can churn out the fastest XC rides of your life.

An ultra-lightweight, full OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with 60 mm of travel, a 100 mm RockShox Reba RL fork and Trek's exclusive lightweight IsoStrut FOX Performance shock designed specifically for Supercaliber. Plus, a SRAM NX Eagle 1x12 drive train and Bontrager carbon wheels.

Supercaliber is designed to crush cross-country races, including the World Cup. It's fast, capable, efficient and features IsoStrut – our game-changing integrated suspension technology.

Supercaliber is a World Cup-worthy bike that’s quick, capable of soaring through techy terrain and nearly as light as a hardtail
Our exclusive IsoStrut shock provides tunable, damped suspension for a smooth and efficient ride
Pivotless seat stays save on weight and actively bend to help soak up trail chatter
You'll never again have to wonder, "What's faster for this course, full suspension or hardtail?"

'A guaranteed head turner – either as the fastest bike of the day or simply winning over hearts and minds.'

'A thoroughbred cross country race bike. A light hardtail with the comfort of a fully. Truly the winner of 2020.'

Supercaliber earned top honours from BIKE Spain, whose editors said that this innovative ride delivered 'twice the highest performance' they'd ever tested.

"With 9 wins, some gold medals and rainbow stripes, the Supercaliber tops the list of most successful World Cup XC rigs."

Supercaliber Frame Set

Features

Supercaliber’s unique frame design ditches traditional suspension hardware so there’s less weight, less maintenance and less lateral flex. IsoStrut connects the mainframe to the pivot-less seat stays to offer about 60 mm of rear wheel travel. This design offers a unique blend of efficiency, traction and fatigue-fighting compliance that keeps racers fresh and in control.

IsoStrut integrated suspension gives you just enough travel to stay in control. It's fully tunable like a standard rear shock, but without the weight penalty of a full suspension bike.

Trek's mountain-specific carbon is engineered to withstand the extreme demands of off-road racing. Advanced analysis allows our designers to create a frame with the best blend of light weight, responsiveness and just enough compliance in the seat stays to eliminate the need for a heavy rear pivot system.

Trek's Straight Shot frame design optimises the stiffness-to-weight ratio for a more responsive ride. You'll be able to push harder and stay more planted on your line when the going gets rough.
