Trek Procaliber 9.7

Trek Procaliber 9.7 - The Procaliber with fine carbon 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 9.7 is Trek's famous 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 addition to the extravagant design, the Procaliber 9.7 impressively demonstrates what it brings when lightweight components are also installed on a lightweight frame: With a total weight of 10.4 kilos, the 9.7 is about 1.5 kilos lighter than the Procaliber 9.5! Mainly responsible for the slimming cure are Bontrager carbon wheels and a carbon seatpost. But also the Sram GX Eagle 1 x 12 drive and the RockShox Reba RL suspension fork are among the lightweight components. You will love this sporty trail bike!

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 on 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.
