Highlights from the 2017 Trek mountain bike range

BikeRadar recently popped along to Milton Keynes, where Trek UK proudly presented its full 2017 bicycle range. We’ve popped the bits that interested us the most into the article below.

Trek Remedy 9 Race Shop Limited

Not to be confused with the more expensive 9.9 Race Shop Limited, this is the top-end alloy version of Trek’s latest Remedy. Coming in at £2,900, it’s a particularly well-equipped and attractive enduro machine.

The frame itself still uses Trek’s full-floater suspension design and ABP concentric pivot at its Boost-spaced rear axle.

For 2017 there are also a couple of women-specific versions of the Remedy, one using a carbon frame and the other being an alloy version

The Remedy also gets Trek’s Knock Block system, which stops interaction between its fork and frame in a crash scenario through the use of a sacrificial alloy wedge that integrates below the upper headset cup. When you stack it, the alloy wedge snaps, taking the brunt of the force and preventing the crown from impacting the down tube at speed. Should the crown still hit the frame, the impact will be cushioned by two large rubberised sections.

Up front there’s a dual-position Rockshox Lyric RC, it’s boost spaced and offers either 160mm or 130mm of travel. The rear end provides 150mm of travel through a Deluxe RT3 shock. The transmission consists entirely of SRAM’s X1 components.
