Mountain bikes can be split into two types, hardtail and full-suspension. Hardtails only have suspension at the front, in the forks, whereas full-suspension also have a rear shock, for more technical riding.
Trek’s ‘regular’ hardtails for all-round riding have three frame ranges – Marlin, X-Caliber and Procaliber. These use the Smart Wheel Size system, so the wheel size changes with frame size. For the smaller sizes (XS and small) that’s a 27.5” wheel, and for medium and above, a 29” wheel. This gives you the fastest, most efficient bike for each size, without compromising the handling. For more playful hardtail riding Trek’s Roscoe range is a great option, with a longer travel fork and wider tyres for extra grip.
Progressing to full-suspension, with increasing amount of travel we’ve got the Trek Supercaliber, Top Fuel, Fuel EX and Slash options all available as demo bikes. It’s really important to test ride a full-suspension before buying to decide which style works best for you, so call by the shop, check out the options, and get your test ride booked.
And finally, if you want a bit of extra help to go further, faster or steeper, then come and give a Trek Powerfly, Fuel EX-e or Rail electric bike a test ride.
