The frame of the race bike has less suspension. This makes the Procaliber 9.5 more comfortable than the hardtail competition. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Procaliber 9.5. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. If a high-quality shifting system is particularly important to you, you probably will not be happy with the Trek Hardtail. And finally, we need to emphasize, that Trek installed better wheels at a price of 2049 Euro than the competition. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
