Expirience with the Trek Supercaliber 9.8 XT

Ludwig Döhl Half fully. Half Hardtail. With its special concept, the Supercaliber 9.8 XT 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 10,4 kg, the Supercaliber 9.8 XT is one of the lightest Racebike on the market, which makes for great riding on singletrails. With its balanced handling, riding the Trek Supercaliber 9.8 XT feels really intuitive. The seating position is sporty. Trek gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
