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.

In terms of price and technology, the Supercaliber stands out in this test. For a hefty 12099 euros, you get the perfect package: Just hop on and go.
