Matt Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Trek have unveiled their new hardtail race machine dubbed the Procaliber SL. Most notably the Procaliber features Trek's ride smoothing IsoSpeed decoupler similar to what what is used in their Domane road bikes. The Procaliber SL also introduces some very nifty cable routing which Trek are calling "Control Freak". Click here to view the article Fruity 1
Ryanpmb Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 So I wonder if the BMC R&D info got leaked or the Trek info got leaked... Two similar concepts launched in a relatively short space of time.
jugheaddave Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Great looking bike. I "predict" more and more "compliant hard tails in the future
Ryanpmb Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 the 9.8's colour scheme is SMOKING HOT Pretty much the colour scheme of the moment these days... Call me boring but that black and red... hmmm... nice. Gandalf, Jacques Viljoen, DJuice and 1 other 4
popcorn_skollie Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 'Being a cross-country bike where speed and efficiency matter, Procaliber SL gets Smart Wheel Size for the fastest wheel that fits. Larger sizes from 17.5 and up get 29” wheels while the 15.5 gets more proportional 27.5” wheels.' Why did it take so long for common sense to prevail? bassasdaindia 1
Fisan Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 So basically its a Cannondale save post with a lower pivot point?
Odinson Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Time to keep your eyes peeled for cheap-as-chips Superflys popping up in the classifieds. J∆kk∆ls 1
GLuvsMtb Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I like the concept. Like the BMC concept it's simple, effective and will not cost an arm and a leg to maintain. I'd like to see a shoot-out with the BMC concept. Expect Specialized, Giant and / or Scott to launch something similar but different before Eurobike 2015... roll on 29 August!
NixM Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Pink for the women's bike, who would have thought of that...
scuzzy Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Would more people buy hardtails now? Because FS is pretty much the flavour of the month at the moment. Not sure if it is worth all the R&D for the other manufacturers?
Rainier Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Trek has always build nice bike and it looks like they are continuing the good work
BenGraham Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Hey Trek, the 90s called they want their cheesy backing tracks back.
