Iwan Kemp Posted November 10, 2014 Share Thanks to the friendly folk at Cycle Factory, the opportunity to ride Trek's 2014 Superfly FS 9 came my way. I only had the bike for a week so what follows is a quick ride review. Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Posted November 11, 2014 Share Nice one. Reads really well Would've loved to see how it faired against the Anthem 1 27.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted November 11, 2014 Share Thanks! Would have been interesting to ride them back to back to get a proper feel for 27.5 "vs" 29 on bikes with the same travel, but different suspension designs. For pure XC and Marathon racing I have no doubt the 29er (be that Trek, Giant or Momsen) will be the faster option. For trail riding, especially what we have down in Cape Town it may a different story and some spec changes will most likely have to be made to optimize the bike for the terrain. In terms of real life suspension feel the Trek and Giant are not that far apart. Having said that I'm sure in a longer travel format each design will show it's prowess.

Johny Bravo Posted November 12, 2014 Share I enjoy your reviews, always a good read. Would love for a review on the spez enduro, the new one. Dont really see many Trek mountain bikes these days, I think their pricing is a bit off compared to the giants and Spez and momsens etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are trying our best to get our grubby little paws on a Spez and an Enduro would be top of my list too. Let's see what we can do...

Iwan Kemp Posted November 12, 2014 Share PS. Credit has to be given to official hub staffer Nick Webb, and before him Claudio, who ensures it reads good and proper. Nick, BenReaper and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone_Ranger Posted November 12, 2014 Share Regarding the wheels, I have a 26" set of these and they're evidently OEM wheels found on Giant (and now Trek) bikes. They're not the lightest, but they're bulletproof. A step up from most entry level wheels, so a good mid-level wheelset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
