Stevief Posted July 2, 2020 Share I have a medium Trek Fuel Ex 9.8 2018 model. And on the scale with XT trail pedals and full sealant incl bottle cage. Hell just my tires are probably 500grams more than this bike and it in Came in at 13.1kgthis bike should be no more than 10.5kg with the above included. Me thinks your scale is out of whack Rocky999RSL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashold Posted July 6, 2020 Share All of these photos were taken on Contermanskloof farm NOT Hoogekraal. Correct. Although it's quite likely the bike was also ridden at Hoogekraal during the test period, considering how close the trails are. Just because you don't see it in the pictures doesn't mean it didn't happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmarc Posted July 7, 2020 Share I have a XL TREK Top Fuel 9.9 - GX Eagle - Old Bondrager wheels with a dropper post = 12.6kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted July 7, 2020 Share The price can be compared to the Epic R80k for the GX one. This looks 20k more expensive, and comes without Brains (rider has to do all the thinking ????????) Edited July 7, 2020 by Christie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted July 7, 2020 Share Oh we have a badass here after years of riding a hardtail I guess it would need attention hey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koos Likkewaan 2 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Did not want to *** a new thread, so decided to just ask my question on this one. I know the Supercaliber can take 2 x Water bottles. Can it take 2 x 750ml bottles ? Been to 2 different Trek dealers and they are not sure. Also not to keen to fit a cage and test. From what I can see, the M will only take a 600ml at the back. Would the M/L or L take a 750ml ? Anyone actually tried it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koos Likkewaan 2 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Thanks. I am between M/L and L, leaning towards M/L. Seeing the photo of the L, it looks like a 750ml bottle fits quite easily. Wondering if the M/L will not take bigger than 550ml, even with side entry cage ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is quite a lot of clearance which cannot be seen in the 1st pic. Close-up pic for reference. Koos Likkewaan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
