Trek X-Caliber 9 Mountain Bike 2021
An incredibly good value cross-country mountain bike, the Trek X-Caliber 9 is ready to start racing or tackling local loops straight away. The Alpha Platinum Aluminium frame is light and efficient, with internal cable routing, and the RockShox Judy Silver fork adds 100mm of front suspension for comfort and control (size XS - 80mm) with a remote lockout lever for maximum efficiency on smoother trails. The frame is also compatible with internally routed dropper seatposts if preferred.
The curated groupset consists of an SLX shifter and wide-range 10-51 cassette with Shimano’s excellent XT rear derailleur to ensure that all shifts are crisp and accurate. The hydraulic disc brakes are also from Shimano in the form of MT400 units for reliable all-weather performance. Frame-size-specific wheels, with the smaller sizes getting 27.5” and the larger sizes 29” ensure the handling and ride feel is consistent across the whole range.
