Sumarize
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. The lightweight bike's design is revolutionary in the cross-country racing category, making it capable of reaching high speeds, while it absorbs difficult terrains. The frame consists of carbon, tapered head tube, control freak internal routing, Knock Block, and Boost148, and the bike features a Bontrager Kovee Pro 30 with OCLV carbon wheels. The SRAM GX Eagle shifter with 12-speed, SRAM Level TLM hydraulic discs, and Bontrager XR2 tubeless-ready tires make this an impressive bike. Moreover, it has obtained top reviews from multiple biking magazines.

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.
- Agile, sporty feel
- Stiff frame, great power transfer
- Open shock mode is more dynamic and efficient than other bikes in this category
- Lively geometry, very good cornering ability
- Good brakes and wheels
- Unique looks
- Simple frame layout with only two bearings
- 60 is not 100
- Short reach and steep head angle are not so confidence-inspiring
- Proprietary rear shock
- Unique looks
- Heavy frame for the price and amount of travel

The Trek Supercaliber stole the show with it’s ultra sleek looks and unique IsoStrut shock design, but how does it ride? We put it through the paces on our local cross country trails to see just how fast it really is.
