"...this speedster is closer to being the best of both worlds - great pedaling efficiency combined with reasonable comfort and descending capability. Both Vital testers, who regularly race XC and often take on longer endurance rides and events, said they would buy this World Cup-winning bike."

"Trek's new cross country race bike has the speed racers dream of. Everybody who has ridden the new Supercaliber has come away seriously impressed and wants more time on it. After their first ride, one was already calling it the fastest bike he had ridden – that’s saying something given the recent crop of test bikes that have passed through our offices lately."

"It’s a hoot to ride even when someone isn’t recording with a stopwatch, and it’s far more capable than its modest travel figures would suggest. As the testing progressed, I found myself pushing the Supercaliber harder and harder, and on increasingly challenging terrain."

"…an unapologetic and uncompromising cross country racing machine. The bike is absolutely world-class when it comes to going uphill."
