Trek Procaliber 9.6

Trek Procaliber 9.6 - The Procaliber with XT gears and other upgrades

With a frame made of lightweight carbon, the hardtails from the Procaliber series play in the upper league of mountain bikes. At the heart of the Procaliber 9.6 is the famous Trek OCLV carbon frame, whose design has been constantly refined over many years. The OCLV carbon fiber material is characterized by a particularly high impact resistance, so that even in falls only in rare cases irreparable damage occurs. Another highlight of the current generation is the IsoSpeed system, with which this CrossCountry Hardtail glides even smoother over the trails. More on this in the second paragraph. In the version 9.6 Trek spends the Procaliber some upgrades compared to the OCLV entry model 9.5: The 1 x 12 drive changes gears with a high-quality Shimano XT rear derailleur. Shimano Deore disc brakes are known for their reliability and low maintenance. And the air-sprung RockShox Recon Gold RL plays in the upper league with its adjustment options. The weight savings of a good 500 grams that come with the upgrades are nothing to scoff at on the mountain, either. This trail bike can keep up with the best in terms of performance!

OCLV Carbon with IsoSpeed System - More comfort for more endurance

The OCLV Carbon developed by Trek specifically for mountain bikes has been a household name in the scene for years. However, it is not only the lower weight that distinguishes a carbon frame from an aluminum frame. Rather, the material offers better opportunities to improve the stiffness at neuralgic points quite specifically. Or, on the contrary, to generate more flex in terms of comfort if desired - without the stiffness suffering at the start. This ensures the Procaliber frame 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. This allows you to pedal longer and more efficiently.
