Trek enlarges the small wheels

The American bike manufacturer seems to be saying goodbye to 26-inch wheels. The all-mountain classics "Remedy" and "Slash" will be chasing down the trails on 27.5-inch wheels from next fall.

Trek is convinced that the future belongs to large wheels. However, the carbon pioneer is not concentrating on just one, but is specifically focusing on two wheel sizes. In the cross-country and marathon sector, the company remains loyal to twentyniners. According to Trek, the all-mountain and enduro segment is predestined for 27.5-inch wheels. It should only be a matter of time before the "Session" downhill bike also gets a wheel update.

Trek describes the "Remedy" as a technical trail bike. The rider has the choice between the 27.5-inch and 29-inch version, depending on the area of use or personal preferences. Both "Remedy's", the 27.5" and the 29", are equipped with 140 millimeters of suspension travel. There will be three carbon and three aluminum models of the "Remedy", of which only the seat stays of the "Remedy" 9.9 and 9.8 are also made of carbon.

The "Slash" goes one step further. 160 millimetres of travel in combination with the mid-size wheels promise a lot of control in rough terrain. There will be three aluminum versions of this race-ready enduro bike. The top version is equipped with Sram's "XO1" and Fox suspension elements.
