New Trek Session88.
http://www.nsmb.com/images/gear/SO08/sess88.jpg
Trek Session 88 DH - 8" of travel, uses the same 1-piece 'EVO link' as the '08 Fuel and Remedy lines, along with the now Trek-standard ABP axle pivot. Expect to pay around $5999 to get a bike that builds to a lovely 37lb. http://www.nsmb.com/images/gear/SO08/88FR.jpg Session 88 FR - indentical geometry to the DH version, but with a more freeride component build. http://www.nsmb.com/images/gear/SO08/elixir.jpg New brakes that we weren't meant to have seen yet. The Avid Elixir. http://www.nsmb.com/images/gear/SO08/saintmech.jpg New Saint rear mech using a variation of Shadow technology. Notice the internal cable routing. Like the Remedy the Session 88 will pivot at the rear axle - what Trek calls 'Active Braking Pivot' or ABP. http://www.nsmb.com/images/gear/SO08/headtube.jpg E2 headtube flares from 1.125" to 1.5" for the best light weight / stiffness compromise.. http://www.nsmb.com/images/gear/SO08/bigearlrim.jpg Bontrager rads up the decals |
sweet.

Trek is just a big evil company doing nothing for the sport!! How DARE they!!
|
I like the ABP design. I think those bearings and bushings will take a lot of abuse in a downhill/ freeride environment, but I do like the design.
|
I'd hit it.
|
Looking good Trek!
|
I actually lust after the DH version of this bike
|
I can't wait to see the XC version.
|
It's the EX at the moment. I wouldn't be suprised at all if we see an abp top fuel by interbike. The one I'm waiting for is the new all mountain rig from Fisher. Has the swing link of the hifi with the active braking pivot.
