FeaturesBomb downhill, with ABP DH ABP DH offers all the benefits of our original ABP, and features a wider hub stance to accommodate wider DH wheels. Fragile carbon? We solved that. A few years ago, we noticed that racers loved carbon fiber, but the everyday rider was still scared of taking carbon off-road. As the leaders in carbon fiber technology, we knew we could offer the world a better solution. So we took our best engineers and designers, and asked for better carbon, built for off-road use. The result? OCLV Mountain Carbon. Carbon Armor Sometimes you need a little extra protection, so we've developed a light, tough external shield. Our Carbon Armor polymer shield provides reassurance to riders who know their down tube is bound to take some abuse. Need an attitude adjustment? We solved that. The Mino Link is an adjustment link located on the EVO Link. By flipping the Mino Link, riders can choose between slack or slacker geometry, without negatively affecting suspension performance. Harsh ride? We solved that -Full Floater Most suspension systems attach the shock to a moving linkage at the top, and a fixed frame mount on the bottom. That fixed mount can contribute to a harsh ride. Full Floater attaches the shock to two moving linkage points on the frame, for greater response over a wide variety of terrain. It feels like more travel—but it's not. It's smarter travel Robust = heavy? We solved that. E2 is the evolution of the traditional 1-1/8" headset to a tapered head tube, fork, and headset system. E2 tapers from a 1.5" lower to a 1-1/8" upper headset to provide more material where it matters most, resulting in a stronger, lighter frame with point-and-shoot control. ISCG mounts International Standard Chain Guide mounts offer easy chain guide installation and adjustment. Dual-crown fork Nothing beats the stiffness of a dual-crown fork—an absolute necessity for full-on DH racing. No Coil Change Necessary Trek's exclusive Hybrid Air technology creates the most tunable DH fork ever, and is lighter too. Use the base coil spring, and just add air to adjust your spring rate! 20mm thru axle Burly 20mm front thru axle offers ultimate steering precision Single ring and chain guide Downhill-specific drivetrain setup keeps it all together through the toughest gnarl. Need an attitude adjustment? We solved that. The Mino Link is an adjustment link located on the EVO Link. By flipping the Mino Link, riders can choose between slack or slacker geometry, without negatively affecting suspension performance. Tuned for You With our 2-position Mino Link, Cane Creek's 7-position headset, and a dual crown fork's 12mm adjustability, you can set up Session for any condition — race or park, pedal, or pop! Cable clutter? We solved that. Internal Control Routing is yet another next-level mountain bike frame development from Trek. No more complicated mess of cables and housing, no more zip ties.
