Trek Procaliber 9.6

Procaliber 9.6 is a race-ready cross country hardtail. Its fast carbon frame boasts a trail-taming IsoSpeed decoupler, fast 29er wheels and a RockShox Recon Gold RL suspension fork to keep you fast and smooth over roots, and rocks during your most demanding mountain bike rides.

Why you’ll love it

1. The upgraded fork gives you a remote lockout, a more plush spring and a damper that gives you more control over the rough stuff.
2. The IsoSpeed decoupler and carbon frame makes it ride smoother than any other hardtail, so your body doesn’t get beaten up by trail chatter
3. The solid XC group set will hold its own on the race course, but it’s also going to hang tough through everyday training rides
4. You get a Straight Shot downtube for extra-stiff, responsive handling without added weight and a Knock Block headset that protects against spinning bars and fork crowns
5. The remote lockout lets you lock out the fork without taking your hands off the bars
