Trek Supercaliber 9.8 XTReviews
"The new XC race benchmark"
"It's simply everything you want from an XC race bike. If someone riding a Supercaliber beats you next season, take solace in the fact that their bike is faster than yours."
"Does it deliver? Yes!"
"Locked out, Supercaliber climbs as well as a fully rigid bike, but with the fork and shock open, the bike has gobs of traction heading uphill and minimal pedal feedback in the suspension. Descending, it's much more sure-footed in technical terrain than a hardtail and feels like it has way more travel than it really does."
"Too hard core to be a soft tail"
"Half hardtail, half full suspension. This is a unique animal meant for other unique animals - XC racers. Designed for the top-level, dedicated cross country racer."
