Kyle KinneDate Reviewed: February 14, 2013
Strengths: this bike rocks i have had no problems with this bike and I've been using it as an enduro race bike. the frame cracking problem above scared me when i first read about it so i went out and checked and everything looked normal to me. the bike handles everything and eats everything up. super stiff carbon frame means amazing power transfer. the bike is a low maintenance bike and will treat you a million times better than you treat it.Weaknesses: the bike does have some weird size issues on some of the parts like the 95mm bb and the 7.75 x 2.5 shock eye to eye that makes it had to change parts out.Bottom Line: if you want an amazing bike buy this bike. this bikes can do anything I have climbed for hours and descended for days on this bike. the carbon is super light, stiff and strong. the bike feels very nimble even in the large sizes like i ride and makes you feel stable from dragging bar in a berm or mobbing over the techiest tech. i upgraded to a lyric rc2 dh because i was doing more downhill related riding and it still pedaled great.

Strengths: Great suspension. Really well balanced. Bulletproof wheelset tubeless ready.Weaknesses: Frame cracked at the front derailleur like the other reviews. Avid brakes need to bled regularly. Bontrager tires , saddle, bar and stem had to go immediatlely.Bottom Line: Bummed to be without mtb only 3 months after laying down a large chunk of change to have a nice mtb.
Hoping Trek will help me out.

Strengths: Climbs well, decends like a beast. Really nice and plush suspension. Can tackle anything from gravel roads to full on down hill.Weaknesses: I have had the excact same problem as the other review here; the frame broke at front derailleur attachment point after only a few rides. However, Trek did not decide to replace my frame, but offered me a "crash replacement" frame, but this will cost me 58% of new bike price.Bottom Line: Great ride, but DO NOT BUY! This could happen to any carbon frame Trek Remedy. Be warned!

Strengths: Everything. but esp. climbing (which surprised me because it's a pretty beefy bike). LOVE this bike.Weaknesses: Remedy 9.7 frame broke at front derailleur attachment point after only a few rides. Manufacturing flaw? The spec Bontrager tires were reported to be crap, but I didn't ever try them.Bottom Line: My warranty experience with Trek and Calgary Cycle was very good. Due to a shortage of replacement 9.7 frames in the summer of 2012, Trek provided a 9.9 frame at no cost to me. I'm sorry to have missed riding the Remedy during part of the prime summer weather, but I am very impressed with the replacement frame.
Favorite Trail: Frisby Ridge, Revelstoke
Duration Product Used: 2 months
Purchased At: Calgary Cycle
Similar Products Used: last bike was a 2004 Blur, so probably too old for comparison
Bike Setup: stock except swapped out tires for Maxxis Ignitors and went tubeless. And after warranty replacement, now have a 9.9 frame.
