Expirience with the Trek Procaliber 9.8

Ludwig Döhl The frame of the race bike has less suspension. This makes the Procaliber 9.8 more comfortable than the hardtail competition. 10 kg is great value for the total weight of a Racebike. On all kinds of trails, the Racebike of Trek therefore rides significantly lighter-footed than its competitors. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. With the Racebike of Trek, the real fun starts at the peak of the mountain. Because in the downhill, the in light terrain is better than the competitors in this price range. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Trek sets the bar high!
