Trek Boone 6

Trek Boone 6 - Modern cyclocrosser with sporty ambitions

What's the difference between a cyclocrosser and a gravel bike? Quite simply, a cyclocrosser is a race bike for cross-country racing. And it came first. Because cyclocross races have been around for what feels like forever. And they've been on the winter calendar of pros and amateurs alike, who continue to practice cross-country in the cold months as an alternative to road cycling to this day. So if you're looking for a sporty gravel bike, take a closer look at the Boone 6. Unlike a gravel bike, its handling is more agile and nimble, and the riding position is more stretched. It's more of a road bike for light terrain, so to speak. Trek developed the Boone 6 in collaboration with cyclocross pros. The result is an extremely lightweight machine that you can really push through the mud. And when it's just walking on, then you throw the featherweight playfully on the shoulder. The fine OCLV frame is equipped with the unique IsoSpeed system, which lets you glide even smoother over the trails. More on this in the second paragraph. Designed for off-road use, the Shimano GRX components are modern and guarantee smooth performance even in tough conditions.

OCLV 600 Carbon - High-tech aerospace material

OCLV Carbon, developed by Trek specifically for mountain bikes, has been a familiar name on the scene for years. There are different series for the bike classes, from mountain bike to road bike. The 600 Series variant offers next to the exclusive 800 with the best ratio of stiffness to weight. However, it is not only the low weight that predestines a carbon frame for cross use: The material offers ideal opportunities to improve the stiffness at neuralgic points quite specifically. On the other hand, the ride comfort can be increased by clever designs - without the explosiveness of the start suffers. The Boone frame features the IsoSpeed system, a flexible connection that decouples the top tube from the seat tube. In addition, the seat tube flattens above the bottom bracket like a kind of leaf spring. This combination gives the frame the ability to soften spikes from violent impacts and generally reduce vibration. Studies show that the comfort gain allows the rider to tire less quickly than on a conventional frame. The IsoSpeed fork also contributes with its subtle pre-bend to the excellent riding experience of the Boone 6.
