The second generation of the Supercaliber addresses precisely the weak points of the first. The Supercaliber SLR 9.9 has a significantly more modern geometry than its predecessor. The frame is also almost 200 grams lighter. And there is 80 instead of 60 millimeters of suspension travel in the rear. Coupled with the 110 mm at the fork, the current race chassis from Jolanda Neff & Co becomes much more grown-up. When it comes to frame design and quantity of travel, the similarity to Specialized's Epic Worldcup is undeniable. However, the general concept of the rear suspension is completely different. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 11 kg of the Trek Fully counts towards the lighter Racebike that you get for under above 8000 Euro. Thanks to a moderate 67,5 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. But the Trek Supercaliber SLR 9.9 still holds an ace op its sleeve: compared to the direct market environment, it has a significantly better suspension. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
