OCLV Mountain Carbon: Every carbon mountain bike we make is built using OCLV Mountain Carbon. We start with our patented OCLV process, then tailor it to the rigors of off-road use. We reinforce the right areas with unique materials, while still preserving the light weight and great Trek carbon feel. It’s tougher carbon, built for the trail. We have the deepest carbon fiber know-how in the industry. Our carbon engineers and designers have pioneered new processes, obtained over 52 carbon-specific patents, and built more carbon bikes than any other manufacturer. No wonder our carbon mountain bikes are the best in the world.
OCLV Mountain Seatstay: Full OCLV Mountain Carbon seatstay reduces frame weight by about 100g.
OCLV Mountain tested: Every OCLV Mountain frame endures the same punishment: 21 separate fatigue, load, strength, and energy tests (15 more than the industry standard), followed by our Anvil Strike Test that simulates rock kick-up in susceptible areas of the frame. If a frame doesn’t pass even one of the tests, it’s back to the drawing board, and then we test again. Each of our carbon frames is designed and built for a specific category (Cross Country/Trail, Technical Trail, or Gravity) that determines what force we apply to each of our 21 frame tests. It’s how we ensure our XC race bikes are light enough to podium, and our gravity bikes are plenty strong enough to survive the run.
Carbon Armor: Sometimes you need a little extra protection, so we developed our light, tough external Carbon Armor polymer shield. It provides reassurance when you know your down tube is bound to take some abuse.
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.
Fully integrated head tube: A fully integrated head tube eliminates the need for headset cups, reducing overall weight without sacrificing performance.
BB95: BB95 is a 95mm OCLV Carbon bottom bracket with precision-fit sockets and press-fit bearings. Its wide stance is a stronger, stiffer platform, compatible with all major crank manufacturers. Combined with Mag EVO Link and hi-lo stays, BB95 helps your wheels track each other, rather than twist and turn with each bump.
Direct-mount derailleur: A traditional front derailleur attaches to the frame with a band clamp. Our direct-mount front derailleur attaches directly to the frame using a solid, flat interface. This fastening method ensures crisper, more accurate front shifting.
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.
DRCV rear shock: Most full suspension air-shock bikes use small-volume canisters for pedaling efficiency. Unfortunately, they don’t have the best big-hit control. Others use less efficient, larger volume shocks, or complex multi-shock systems with cumbersome controls. Our solution: Dual Rate Control Valve (DRCV) technology. One shock, two chambers, no compromise.
DRCV fork: Most forks use only about 90% of their travel. Trek Dual Rate Control Valve (DRCV) technology solves that, using two chambers to give you exactly the suspension you need for every inch of your ride. You get great small-bump compliance, smooth mid-stroke travel, and awesome big-hit control.
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.
Climb-Trail-Descend: CTD gives you three suspension adjustment options: Climb, Trail, or Descend. It’s a simple, intuitive, high-performance system available on select Fox shocks and forks.
15QR: A 15mm front thru axle makes steering more precise for more control, and the quick-release feature makes wheel removal easy.
142x12: Our robust and confidence-inspiring rear thru axle is about 35% stiffer than an open dropout design. And now, a thru axle wheel change is actually quick and easy, thanks to a tabbed guide in the frame's dropout.
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.
