| Features | Alpha Platinum Aluminum: Our premium lightweight aluminum is continuously cold extruded and butted at multiple points for ultimate weight reduction and superior strength. Frames built with Alpha Platinum are hydroformed to create the most sophisticated shapes for the lightest weight, and are finished using Trek's smooth-weld finishing process.
ABP Convert: Other full suspension systems firm up under braking, reducing your control when you need it most. Trek’s patented Active Braking Pivot solves that by keeping your suspension active whether you're on the brakes or off. ABP Convert features a robust, confidence-inspiring 142x12mm rear wheel. It offers easy wheel installation, and is 35% stiffer than any open dropout design. A conversion kit available at your Trek retailer will give you the option to switch to 135x5mm. When your suspension stays active under braking, you stay in control. You can brake later in a turn, maintain better rear wheel traction in stutter bumps, go faster, and just have more fun. Try it on any other system: find a downhill with stutter bumps. Apply the brakes and feel the suspension stiffen. Your rear wheel will skip across the top of the bumps. Now, try it with an ABP-equipped bike. Feel the extra control, and imagine how much faster you can go. That’s the ABP difference. We were delighted when ABP was awarded US Patent # 7,837,213 in 2010. But fun as it's been to add the patent number to our frames, the real satisfaction comes from building ABP into every full suspension bike we sell, because it means you get to ride a better bike.
E2 tapered head tube: E2 is the evolution of the traditional 1-1/8" headset to a tapered head tube, fork, and headset system. E2 tapers from a 1.5" lower to a 1-1/8" upper headset to provide more material where it matters most, resulting in a stronger, lighter frame with point-and-shoot control.
Press-fit bottom bracket: Press-fit BB is a bottom bracket shell that allows the bearings to press into the frame rather than threading in as on standard bottom brackets. This provides a wider stance for the frame’s tubing juncture, resulting in a stronger frame. This wider stance also mimics the benefits of an OCLV Carbon-only technology, BB95.
Full Floater: Most suspension systems attach the bottom of the shock to a fixed frame mount. That fixed mount can contribute to a harsh ride. We solved that with Full Floater, attaching the shock to two moving linkage points so it can better respond to bumps across a wide variety of terrain. It feels like more travel, but it's not. It's smarter travel.
Alloy EVO Link: The EVO Link is Trek’s evolution of the rocker link from the plate-and-bolt style used on most suspension bikes today to a one-piece alloy rocker link.
Internal derailleur routing: Sleek ports at the head tube and near the seat tube let you run your front derailleur housing directly through the frame, keeping the cable protected from the elements and your bike running smooth, clean, and quiet.
WSD performance geometry: Sleek, lightweight frame features best-in-class standover for ultimate control and comfort, plus a low center of gravity for responsive handling. You’ll feel the difference.
WSD Rider Right suspension: Our WSD Rider Right spring rate is specially tuned to suit women riders for unbeatable control, comfort, and performance.
WSD: fit for women - A great-fitting bike is a joy to ride. The better the fit, the greater your comfort, stability, power, and control. And nothing fits better than Trek WSD, Women’s Specific Design.
