It's right for you if...

You want to ride what the pros ride and you want to win. You’re looking for a bike that's built for shocking speed and capability on even the hardest cross country courses, and comes decked out with light, fast upgrades on everything from the fork to the SRAM AXS drivetrain.

The tech you get

An ultra-lightweight, full OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with 60mm of travel, a 100mm RockShox SID SL fork, and Trek's exclusive IsoStrut FOX Performance shock designed specifically for Supercaliber. Plus, dual remote suspension lockout, a SRAM GX Eagle AXS wireless electronic 1x12 drivetrain with carbon cranks and a 10-52 cassette, and Bontrager Kovee Pro 30 carbon wheels with 108-tooth Rapid Drive rear hub for instant engagement.

The final word

Supercaliber 9.8 is an efficient and capable cross country race bike trimmed with an upgraded, high-performance parts spec including an ultra-precise wireless electronic drivetrain. It's everything you love about a hardtail plus the added capability of IsoStrut—our exclusive integrated shock.

Features

Nothing else like it

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 60mm 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

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

OCLV Mountain Carbon

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.

Straight Shot w/Knock Block

Trek's Straight Shot frame design optimizes 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.
