2023 Trek Procaliber 9.5 - Mercury
Procaliber 9.5 is a lightweight carbon hardtail with the unique advantage of our trail-smoothing IsoSpeed decoupler. It's the most affordable carbon model in the Procaliber mountain bike family, and it's built for speed and efficiency on singletrack with a wide-range Shimano Deore 1x12 drivetrain, RockShox Judy SL fork, and speedy 29er wheels.
It's right for you if...
You love riding singletrack. You’ve entered several XC races, enjoyed every single one, and want to give racing a serious go. You’re looking for a solid carbon race bike at an affordable price.
The tech you get
A light and stiff carbon frame with trail-smoothing IsoSpeed, a 100mm RockShox Judy SL fork with Solo Air spring and a TurnKey lockout, a smooth-shifting Shimano Deore 1x12 drivetrain, powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, and fast, tubeless ready 29" wheels.
The final word
Procaliber 9.5 gives you the advantages of a carbon race bike with IsoSpeed at a wallet-friendly price, and it gives you solid tech where it matters most.
Why you'll love it
- You're getting into a carbon race bike at an awesome price
- The IsoSpeed decoupler and carbon frame makes it ride smoother than any other hardtail, so your body doesn't get beat up by trail chatter
- 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
- The RockShox fork's Solo Air spring can easily be adjusted for a specific rider weight, and it's lighter than a coil spring
