Expirience with the Trek Supercaliber 9.6

Ludwig Döhl Half fully. Half Hardtail. With its special concept, the Supercaliber 9.6 floats between two worlds. Jolanda Neff's Olympic victory, which she clinched on a Supercaliber, shows that the minimalist approach works pretty damn well. When it comes down to handling, Trek does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Supercaliber 9.6 is ready for the majority of singletrails. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. With shifting systems, other manufacturers in the price segment under 4500 Euro continue to top up to the shelf. With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
