Features Suntour XCM fork w/lockout Shimano Altus crank & front derailleur SRAM X4 rear derailleur & shifters Alpha Gold Aluminum: Our high-performance lightweight aluminum is continuously cold extruded and butted for weight reduction and superior strength. Frames built with Alpha Gold feature some degree of mechanical and hydroforming to create more sophisticated shapes for lighter weight, and are finished using Trek's smooth-weld finishing process. G2 Geometry: Conventional wisdom says 29ers have sleepy handling compared to 26" wheel bikes. We solved that with G2 Geometry, featuring a custom-offset fork and advanced frame geometry for precise handling at low speed without compromising high-speed stability. It’s why Trek 29ers handle better than any others. Gary Fisher Collection: Innovative bikes imagined by Gary Fisher, built by Trek. Extended size range: Many Trek models feature a wider range of sizes than the industry standard, to give a better fit to more riders.
