TREK Procaliber 9.5 Radioactive Red/Trek Black mountainbike

It's right for you if...

You love riding singletrack. You’ve entered several XC races, enjoyed every single one and want to give racing a serious go. You’re looking for a solid carbon race bike at an affordable price.

The tech you get

A light and stiff carbon frame with trail-smoothing IsoSpeed, a 100 mm RockShox Judy SL fork with Solo Air spring and a TurnKey lockout, a smooth-shifting Shimano Deore 1x12 drivetrain, powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and fast, tubeless-ready 29" wheels.

The final word

Procaliber 9.5 gives you the advantages of a carbon race bike with IsoSpeed at a wallet-friendly price and it gives you solid tech where it matters most.

Why you'll love it 

1. You're getting into a carbon race bike at an incredible price 
2. The IsoSpeed decoupler and carbon frame makes it ride smoother than any other hardtail, so your body doesn't get beaten up by trail chatter 
3. You get a Straight Shot downtube for extra-stiff, responsive handling without added weight and a Knock Block headset that protects against spinning bars and fork crowns 
4. The RockShox fork's Solo Air spring can easily be adjusted for a specific rider weight, and it's lighter than a coil spring
