Features
200 Series Alpha Aluminium
Trek's high-performance road alloy, formed into sophisticated tube shapes for maximum strength and minimum weight.
Carbon fork
Lightweight fork with carbon fibre legs soaks up hand-numbing road vibration.
Flat Mount disc brakes
All-new Flat Mount disc brakes are more elegant, lighter, smaller and cleaner than traditional disc brakes, providing superior performance and stopping power under harsh conditions.
Tubeless Ready rims
Bontrager TLR (Tubeless Ready) Road is the first fully integrated tubeless system for road wheels. When you go tubeless with TLR, you can run lower tyre pressure for increased traction and comfort without the threat of pinch flats.
