The Supercaliber 9.8 GX, a cross-country bicycle from Trek, has been specifically designed as a racing bike for World Cup races, with its IsoStrut integrated shock and Fox fork.

XC Speed Demon: Trek Supercaliber Review If you are looking to squeeze every bit of speed out of the trail with a little more comfort than a hardtail, Trek's new race weapon could be for you.

Pros
  1. Agile, sporty feel

  3. Open shock mode is more dynamic and efficient than other bikes in this category
  4. Lively geometry, very good cornering ability
  5. Good brakes and wheels
  6. Unique looks
  7. Simple frame layout with only two bearings
Cons
  1. 60 is not 100
  2. Short reach and steep head angle are not so confidence-inspiring
  3. Proprietary rear shock
  4. Unique looks
  5. Heavy frame for the price and amount of travel
