Expirience with the Trek Session 9 X01

Ludwig Döhl Reece Wilson's world champion bike, the Session 9 X01 , is now available for the avarage Joe. And it cuts a damn fine figure in every bike park. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the Session 9 X01, the 0 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 17,1 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. The Trek Downhill-Bike shows what its capable of in the downhill. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
