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
  2. Stiff frame, great power transfer
  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
