2024 Trek Supercaliber SLR 9.8 GX AXS Gen 2 - Carbon Red Smoke
The Supercaliber SLR 9.8 GX AXS is an ultra-light carbon XC mountain bike that's ready to lay down rubber on race day. Its SLR Mountain Carbon frame is as light as it is meticulous, with a high modulus lay-up that gives you all the stiffness you crave, and none of the weight. XC courses get rowdier every year, so it's equipped with a 110 mm fork and 80 mm of IsoStrut rear suspension to smooth your roll without kicking pedalling efficiency to the wind. It's all topped off with carbon wheels, a carbon cockpit and SRAM's wireless GX AXS Transmission.
