Lexx Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Is there anyone who is Riding a Trek Superfly FS8 2015 Model? How good is it?Want to do Marathon and Ultra Marathon Events?
EmptyB Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 You will not be sorry with that weapon of choice....it's a marathon machine!! Thats my unbiased opinion and you can bunny hop the gate at Crocodile bridge and marathon your way up to Olifants camp. From there you can do the MTB route inside Kruger too, that bike will go anywhere Think you might know whos talking?
Lexx Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks EmptyB. Just stressed a bit because my Friend told me that its a pure Trail Bike...
EmptyB Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I'm afraid I absolutely have to disagree with your friend. If we're talking about the standard (not modified) Superfly, these bikes are built for speed and although they can go just about anywhere in my opinion, they are definitely not Treks version of a full on trail bike. If you want more trail orientated trail bikes from Trek you go for the Fuel EX or Remedy! Superflys are not set up as trail bikes....
Lexx Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 I was saying the same thing. I think he prob was thinking about the Fuel ex or Remedy..
EmptyB Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 He must have been referring to them? Superflys are aimed at more endurance/marathon rides. You must look up on Enduromag.com.....google it. Theres an article on there about the 2015 Superfly, Remedy and Fuel EX, they talk about all 3 bikes in the same article....its a brilliant write up and should probably put your mind at ease!! Grant
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks EmptyB. Just stressed a bit because my Friend told me that its a pure Trail Bike... Sorry, that's the funniest thing I've heard all year. Agree with Grant here, it's an all out XC machine. Nimble, fast and stiff. Definitely not a trail bike. But if you put a 120mm fork on the front, it'd be a different story.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I mean, look at this... And then Trek's description... Superfly FS is the 29er full suspension weapon of choice for elite World Cup racers. Blazing speed, ultra-light weight, incredible handling—this bike leaves nothing on the table. Yeah. Definitely a trail bike
EmptyB Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Yah you see. a Racing Bike...Exactly, now go race it at Sabie.....I feel sorry for you having to test it in such a k@k place (NOT)
Lexx Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Ha ha ha, Yip its a tough Life, but someone's gotta do it.
PoiZoNouZ Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I have 2013 100al an absolutely awesome bike. Have changed it to 1x10 and better brakes and it rips.
EmptyB Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 This was the first Superfly I had....pic was taken in Sabie. See how unhappy I look!?
Lexx Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 I can see you look so unhappy about that Bike. lol
