TyronLab Posted August 30, 2019 Share Sorry, but that shock thing looks too much like a hond se dinges. Thanks for making me unable to ever un-see that. Thank the lawd that stanchion isn't pink anodized. Different strokes for different okes I suppose ? Personally I really like it . Was that a clever suspension pun? Noice!

GrahamS2 Posted August 30, 2019 Share The Treks Weight is with all hardware including the rear shock.The Intense frame weight is the bare weight without the shock (as all other frames are weighes)Fair enough, that is pretty light then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenty Posted August 30, 2019 Share Looks like , in my REALLY amateurish opinion , like a soft tail wannabe a hard tail thingy OR vice versa....BUT then again Im no engineer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted August 30, 2019 Share Looks like , in my REALLY amateurish opinion , like a soft tail wannabe a hard tail thingy OR vice versa....BUT then again Im no engineer You be correct in that it is a hybrid system. Its a single pivot with a directly driven rear shock i.e. no swing link to alter the leverage through the travel. the leverage ratio is purely delivered by the flex in the seat stays Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 30, 2019 Share no if only it was a "vertical shock" MDJ, AdamA, Skinnyone and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart Posted August 30, 2019 Share Looks like it will be fun to service.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCD Posted August 30, 2019 Share Looks like it will be fun to service..The intended end user has a team mechanic.Only in South Africa hobby cyclists are buying high-end machines like this and then worry about the shock service... We are just weirdly wired here... Milkman, DieselnDust, Skinnyone and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted August 30, 2019 Share It shouldn't be harder to service than Yeti's Switch Infinity but ya I can see there's a few extra steps involved here Just hope it doesn't creak like the yeti...

AdamA Posted August 31, 2019 Share I'm no engineer, but would think that the Shock would allow for damping and rebound adjustments... something that the BMC would not have. DieselnDust and Gav1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted August 31, 2019 Share I dig it. Probably WAYYYYYY out of my price range but if I had the zar it would be N+1 for sure. If I pay extra can I go for a ride with Jolanda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted September 2, 2019 Share Is that "shock" part of the frame or CAn it be separated to be serviced? it can be removed. It bolts to the bottom of the top tube. and a cradle at the seat tube end of the Seat stay.It has rebound and compression settings with a Lock out. All the functioning of a normal rear shock. the purpose of the bike is to eliminate the compromise that Trek Riders have to make in terms of selecting hardtail or FS for the XCC and XCO races. Remember they pick their poison for the weekend ahead of the XCC race. Rumor has it the new 2021 Scalpel is going to be interesting in that it will also opt for shorter rear wheel travel Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolo Posted September 2, 2019 Share Pinkbike has some more detailed photos on the bike, rear shock looks like an evolution of the "Thru Shaft" shock. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/treks-new-xc-race-bike-breaks-cover-at-monte-sainte-anne-xc-world-champs-2019.html Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
