Craving the fastest XC bike? Meet Supercaliber – Trek Bikes
Fortune favours the fast
When it comes to course-scorching speed, what matters most is that it’s proven, and no cross-country mountain bike sets the bar quite as high as Supercaliber. From its first iteration to the all-new second-generation, Supercaliber has had its mettle tested on the most demanding cross-country courses on the planet. It charges ahead with hardtail efficiency and full-suspension compliance that crushes the competition. And you don’t just have to take our word for it – since 2019, Supercaliber has harvested an ever-growing collection of 30+ gold medals from the world’s most renowned competitions, from World Cups to World Championships, just to prove it.
THE PROOF IS ON THE PODIUM.
More trail-taming travel
Year after year, cross-country courses continue to get gnarlier. Bigger features and rowdier rock gardens can send riders off the bike, that’s why we’ve bumped up Supercaliber’s suspension. Now with 110 mm of front and 80 mm of rear travel, Supercaliber gives you more compliance in the rough stuff, so you can rally faster.
Trek’s exclusive IsoStrut shock sits at the heart of Supercaliber, shifting it into territory that rides the fine line between a hardtail and full suspension. IsoStrut is structural suspension that pairs damped, tuneable travel with unique pivotless seatstays that move with the trail, keeping you smooth and fast.
New Supercaliber 9.9 SLR Flight Attendant has landed
Free your mind and fly with a new Supercaliber Gen 2 model. RockShox Flight Attendant reads terrain and rider inputs and adjusts suspension damping in real time so all you have to think about is what to wear on the podium.
New Shimano Di2 meets Supercaliber
Craving the latest speed-enhancing technology? Supercaliber with new XTR or XT Di2 delivers Shimano’s lightest and most robust drivetrains yet. With lightning-fast shifts and the die-hard reliability you expect from Shimano, the new XTR and XT give you unbeatable wireless customisation for every ride.
Light or lighter
With two levels of OCLV Carbon to choose from, you get to pick how light you roll. Go light with Supercaliber SL or even lighter with Supercaliber SLR that saves grams by reducing material, using a higher-modulus carbon lay-up and skipping the guides for internal cable routing.
As a feather
Gram counters, rejoice. Supercaliber SLR’s intensely light lay-up keeps weight shockingly low, weighing in at just 9.3 kg for a Carbon Red Smoke Supercaliber 9.9 XX AXS T-Type build in size medium.
Extra fuel in the tank
Riding fast burns through a lot of energy. That’s why Supercaliber has room for two full-sized water bottles, so you can stay fuelled all the way to the finish line.
No small flex
Flexing stays may make a ride smooth, but they can pose challenges when it’s time to brake. To allow for the most flex possible – and a smoother ride – we use a brake mount that floats around the rear axle, allowing the rear triangle and suspension to act freely while improving braking performance.
Progressive cross-country geometry
1: Longer reach
Supercaliber Gen 2 gets longer in the cockpit for extra stability and control, so you can rip through rowdy descents.
2: Slacker headtube
A slacker, 67.5° headtube angle stretches out the front-end for easy handling on steep downhill sections and techy terrain.
3: More travel
Supercaliber Gen 2 gets a bump in travel with 110 mm in the front and 80 mm in the rear to haul ass on the downs.
