BikeRadar recently headed out to the 2016 Trek product launch in Holland to get a taster of the company’s new and improved Procaliber cross-country lineup. We checked the bikes out in all their glory at the launch, from the super-trick 9.9 range-topper down to the 9.7 ‘entry’ level XC race monster, riding the mid-range 9.8 around a 16km dry and dusty XC loop in one of Holland’s most beautiful forests.
