from Belgium Date Reviewed: August 21, 2010 Strengths: Stable in loose sand, stiff Weaknesses: Shifts verry bad (due to sram chain PC927). Elexir 5 squeel and vibrat all the time, the pads are way to close to the rotor. When the suspention Roch Shock Reba SL is shifted it stay in the hard condition, you need to pull the steer to unlock it. It is the worst bike I ever road on. He is back in the shop, hopefully TREK replaces the malfunctioning bike.

from Valrico, florida, U.S.A Date Reviewed: October 16, 2009 Strengths: After I re-set it up, and upgraded SLX to XT shifters. straightened out the rotors and reposition the calipers, removed the gear indicators for proper 1 or 2 finger brake finger position I can say this bike's manners are impressive. I dont care if your riding a $5000.00 dollar hardtail ,you wont be able to tell the difference. This bike communicates everything between you and the ground to your your butt and fingers. Gears are one pop away from the other and brakes after a long hill-less florida break-in period are grabby just how my 250lb body needs them to be. And its easy on the eyes Weaknesses: Hard ride. recommend you keep the paint waxed as the black is sure to show scratches for those who care how you look when you show up at the trailhead and your friends bikes cost thousands more than yours. Did I mention the hard ride.

from Miami, Fl, Usa Date Reviewed: March 30, 2009 Strengths: Great geometry, components great except chain, and awesome rockshox fork. The best bike for the money and for anyone interested on singletrack and xcountry Weaknesses: The rear tire sticks horribly on dirt but is good on asphault, as if that actually mattered. I replaced this immediately. the only other problem I faced was the chain kept on snapping. It snapped 3 times on my first chain and 2 times on my seccond. must be a problem with the cogs or chainrings or something.

from Boston,ma Date Reviewed: March 7, 2009 Strengths: Light, very light and fast. Climbs like a goat, almost taking the fun out of biking so easy it makes it! I've only had it for about a month and I couldn't wait for spring and have been riding it on snowed/iced and very technical trails and believe me this bike can take it! Brakes, geometry, shocks are great! and dive train, better than expected! I tend to like trek's frame better than other brands! Weaknesses: Seat, It hurts! But what do you want? a Lazy boy chair?

Weaknesses: if you jack the fork up too much, like to 115mm, it looks kind of ugly. the bike came with a 80mm fork. i use the fork at 100mm. 80mm is too small.

from PA Date Reviewed: November 16, 2008 Strengths: 2008 Model. Very Light, fast, excellent climber. Great component spec for the $$$. The Reba fork is awesome. The XT deraileur and cranks are great. Looks great too! (2008 model) Weaknesses: I haven't found any yet. I have seen on some reviews where people don't like the Avid brakes. Mine are tuned perfectly and stop on a dime. Some people don't like some of the Bontrager stuff. I honestly have no complaints. The color of the 2008 model was an issue for some. I am one who loves the silver and blue. I've had a lot of compliments on it. I am strictly an xc rider so I don't do a lot of drop offs and such. I ride hilly singletrack and fire roads mostly. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Fair Hill Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $1600.00 Purchased At: Bike Line Similar Products Used: Specialized Stumpjumper Comp HT. Scott Scale 40. Both are excellent bikes. I just liked the feel of the Trek better and felt that it had a tad bit better component spec for the same $$$. Bike Setup: Stock except for XT pedals
