Trek has multiple different number designations for their OCLV material on their current bikes. What those numbers mean, I don't know. My 2018 Procaliber 9.9 RSL was indicated as "Super Light OCLV". This was the Pro Team frame, and made with their lighter weight OCLV material than the "standard" Procaliber frames. I don't have any reason to believe that the OCLV 110/120 materials from 20 years ago were superior to Trek's current OCLV materials. Like it has with others, I expect their CF technology has evolved. I suspect this has a lot to do with me not being hung up on thinking older, US-made products are always superior to new stuff made elsewhere. The transfer of knowledge and technology is not hindered by crossing oceans.
