Expirience with the Trek Supercaliber 9.8

Ludwig Döhl Half fully. Half Hardtail. With its special concept, the Supercaliber 9.8 floats between two worlds. Jolanda Neff's Olympic victory, which she clinched on a Supercaliber, shows that the minimalist approach works pretty damn well. The weight of a bike is a central factor for riding pleasure on any kind of terrain. With 10,65 kg, the Trek is one of the lightest Racebike on the market, which makes for great riding on singletrails. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Trek. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Racebike von Trek has a sporty seating position. Trek gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
