| Features | Active Braking Pivot (ABP): Other full suspension systems firm up under braking, reducing your control when you need it most. Trek’s patented Active Braking Pivot solves that by keeping your suspension active whether you're on the brakes or off. The ABP axle is fully convertible between 157x12 and 150x12 standards, offers easy wheel installation, and is at least 20% stiffer than any open-dropout design.
E2 Tapered Headtube: 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.
MicroTruss: MicroTruss housing guides are built directly into the frame, for the lightest, cleanest external cable routing.
OCLV Mountain Carbon: Every carbon mountain bike we make is built using OCLV Mountain Carbon. We start with our patented OCLV process, then tailor it to the rigours of off-road use. We reinforce the right areas with unique materials, while still preserving the light weight and great Trek carbon feel. It’s tougher carbon, built for the trail.
Mino Link Adjustable Geometry: Mino Link is an adjustment link located on the EVO Link that allows you to fine tune head tube angle by 1/2° and BB height by up to 10mm with the simple turn of a nut. Just flip the link to choose between slack or slacker geometry, without negatively affecting suspension performance.
OCLV Mountain with InTension: Trek’s proprietary InTension material is an advanced low-density, ultra-stiff material built directly into the layup of complex shape and molding areas. It has 4X the flexural strength of a similar carbon-only structure, and is 8X stiffer. InTension acts as the web of an I-beam-like structure, transferring loads between two flanges. We use it in ultra-high-load, high-bending problem areas like pivots, bottom brackets, and seat tubes. InTension is the latest in a long line of Trek mountain biking solutions Invented, engineered, and perfected in Waterloo, WI.
Carbon Armor: Sometimes you need a little extra protection, so we developed our light, tough external Carbon Armor polymer shield. It provides reassurance when you know your down tube is bound to take some abuse.
Routing Options: Internal Control Routing takes care of messy brake and derailleur cables by routing the housing directly through the frame itself. It’s the cleanest, quietest setup for full-on race day performance.
EVO Link: EVO Link is Trek’s evolution of the rocker link from the plate-and-bolt style used on most suspension bikes to a one-piece rocker link. This lighter link provides a stronger connection point between the front and rear triangles, creating a stiffer frame for greater control with minimal weight.
ISCG Mounts: International Standard Chain Guide mounts offer easy chain guide installation and adjustment. |
