Description

For cyclocross competition at the highest levels, Trek presents the Boone 9 Disc. This high-performance racer is ready to take on the run-ups and mud in style. The Boone features a lightweight carbon frame and fork. Shimano Ultegra Di2 components handle shifting, and their hydraulic discs add confident braking. A Bontrager cockpit and HED wheels add even more performance.

The CruX Expert from Specialized is the brand's premier cyclocross racing machine, offering impressive handling, stiffness, and speed in the same advanced package. The CruX is suitable for endurance gravel- or mixed-conditions adventure racing, too. The bike features a lightweight carbon frame and fork to get the power down and steer precisely. Shimano's Ultegra components grace the drivetrain, and TRP HY/RD, hydraulic disc brakes add confidence no matter the conditions. A Specialized cockpit and AXIS 4.0 Disc CruX wheelset are the finishing touches.

For perfect versatility, the Renegade Elite has it all. Utilizing a Omniad M30 Monocoque Carbon Fiber Frame & fork, for lightning quick response and razor sharp agility, this is a sure footed chassis that won't leave you high and dry. Shimano’s ever capable Ultegra group set needs no introduction while everything rolls smoothly care of American Classic Argent Tubeless wheels. Aimed at the rider with adventure in their sights.

Is it a cross bike or a road bike? The Warbird Carbon blurs the line between these two definitions even more. With Salsa's propriety carbon technology making for a super light and responsive frame & fork complimented with SRAM componentry, including powerful hydraulic disc brakes, this is one bike ready for anything you're prepared to throw at it. For the hardcore racer or rider who occasionally finds themselves in different places, the Warbird Carbon should be one of your considerations.

Features

600 Series OCLV:
Over two decades ago, Trek engineers developed our Optimum Compaction, Low Void carbon manufacturing process, enabling us to produce carbon bikes with consistency and quality previously thought impossible. To this day, Trek OCLV Carbon continues to lead the industry, advancing what's possible in carbon frames. Each level of OCLV offers the best ride for the money, thanks to an optimal balance of areal weight, stiffness, and compliance. 600 Series OCLV features advanced aerospace materials and weight-saving, performance-enhancing technology to achieve the best frame weight/stiffness combinations in the industry.

IsoSpeed decoupler:
At the core of Domane’s comfort technology is the IsoSpeed decoupler, the result of an 18-month study of how a racing bike performs over rough roads, and how that performance affects the rider. Trek engineers designed a decoupler that allows the seat tube to rotate independently from the top-tube-to-seatstay junction, increasing vertical compliance to twice that of our nearest competitor, without compromising pedaling efficiency. Result: you can ride harder, longer.

IsoSpeed fork:
It's a one-two punch: generous ride-tuned sweep and shape increases compliance for a smoother ride, and unique dropout placement optimizes the wheelbase. An extra curve above the dropout in our swept-leg design creates a smaller angle to the direction of road vibrations. This angle increases fore/aft compliance, better positioning the fork leg to absorb road force rather than transmitting it straight to the rider. We’ve also increased fork lateral stiffness, maximizing both smoothness and control.

Ride Tuned Seatmast:
Our Ride Tuned seatmast is the lightest, most comfortable solution for day-in, day-out performance and comfort. The no-cut design eliminates traditional seatpost clamping forces, so we can use less material at the seat tube junction, resulting in a lighter frame. Most seatmast systems have to be cut, leaving little or no room for adjustability. Our Ride Tuned seatmast system has more than 10cm of adjustment, making it the most adjustable system on the market.

Electronic drivetrain integration:
Specific cable stops and proprietary seat tube battery mount or bottom bracket battery mount allow for a perfect interface with the industry-leading electronic drivetrain systems without a single zip tie or strip of tape. It’s the most seamless component integration in the industry. Easily replace the bottom bracket cable stop with a slick battery mount, or use an internal battery for the cleanest and lightest system. Electronic drivetrain cable connectors are 7mm wide instead of the standard 4mm. We include specific adapters for both, so you don't need electrical tape to route cables through the frame.

E2 head tube and fork:
Our E2 head tube tapers from a 1.5" lower bearing to a 1-1/8" upper bearing, and is wider side to side than front to back. This asymmetric steering system minimizes weight while maximizing power transfer and keeping the fork stiffer under cornering loads. Result: a more powerful and confident ride.

BB90:
BB90 is the widest bottom bracket available on a road bike. This Trek-exclusive carbon BB makes the frame lighter, stiffer, and quicker to accelerate. BB90 eliminates the need for extra inserts and parts in the bottom bracket/frame junction. Fewer parts mean a lighter frame. And a lighter frame means a faster ride.

3S integrated chain keeper:
Our 3S chain keeper is integrated directly into the bike frame. It's an elegant solution that provides flawless shifting even on rough roads and under heavy loads. No more standing on the side of the road, covered in grease, unwedging your dropped chain as competitors race by.

- Warbird - Endure Geometry
Designed for lightweight, pedaling efficiency while gravel racing. Geometry for stability while descending on loose surfaces as well as solid handling on the flats and climbs. The Warbird is a representation of our years of experiences and countless rides, races, wins, and losses in events such as the Almanzo 100, Trans Iowa, and Dirty Kanza 200

- CLASS 5 VRS™
The Class 5 VRS (Vibration Reduction System) has specially shaped seatstays with a tall, thin, vertically oriented profile that promotes vertical compliance by allowing the seatstays to "flex" outwards on impacts. The horizontally oriented chainstays work to resist torque and maintain a laterally stiff rear end. The seatstays and chainstays lack bridges, furthering the full length of the stays to contribute to flexibility. And a rear thru-axle delivers precise tracking while allowing the seatstays to provide that incredible compliance
