Integrated storage compartment: Thanks to the integrated storage compartment, you can leave your backpack at home without having to forgo the essentials for your trip.

Active Braking Pivot allows our engineers to fine-tune how the suspension reacts independently to acceleration and braking forces. This gives you more confidence in critical situations.

Knock Block protects your frame when things don't go smoothly. The steering stop prevents your handlebars from turning completely around in a crash, thus avoiding excessive strain on your cables and preventing the handlebars from contacting the top tube.

Complete frame protection: Replaceable downtube protectors shield your downtube from rocks, dirt, and sharp shuttle vehicles, so you don't have to worry about damage and can focus entirely on your next run. OCLV Mountain Carbon: Thanks to exclusive materials and precise layup processes, state-of-the-art construction methods, and exceptionally rigorous testing standards, Trek's specially developed carbon fiber for mountain bikes is extremely durable.

Rapid Drive 108 rear hub: With 108 engagement points, the Rapid Drive guarantees immediate acceleration, eliminating the feeling of pedaling into thin air. Thanks to this lag-free power transfer, you can accelerate out of corners at full throttle and power through rough terrain. This high number of engagement points provides additional control, which can make all the difference on challenging climbs.
