Trek Remedy 9.7

Remedy 9.7 brings the ride quality of a full OCLV Mountain Carbon frame to our all-mountain family. A premium long travel 160mm RockShox fork, 150mm rear suspension, dropper post, and a SRAM 12-speed drivetrain make Remedy 9.7 a high-end full-carbon mountain bike that's built to get rowdy but doesn't come with the sticker shock of most carbon trail bikes.

It's right for you if...
You want the performance of carbon in a trail-shredding package. You love the quick handling of 27.5 wheels and the plush ride of a long travel bike, and want a durable parts group and a strong, light OCLV Mountain Carbon frame to handle whatever the trail can dish out.

The tech you get
A lightweight, full OCLV Mountain Carbon frame, a 160mm RockShox Lyrik Select Plus fork with a plush DebonAir spring and Charger 2 RC damper that gives you more adjustment and control, and 150mm rear travel with an ultra-responsive RE:aktiv shock. Plus, a mixed SRAM NX and GX 12-speed drivetrain, SRAM Guide R four-piston hydraulic disc brakes for more stopping power, a Bontrager Line Dropper, and Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels with a 54-tooth Rapid Drive hub for fast engagement.

The final word
A stiff full carbon frame that's built for rugged riding and gnarly trails, with great suspension and a solid, dependable parts group. It shreds right out of the box, but it's also the perfect platform for upgrades down the line should you ever want to customize your trail ride.
