Trek Supercaliber SL 9.7 AXS Gen 2
Details
Supercaliber SL 9.7 AXS is a carbon XC mountain bike built for rocketing over singletrack and scorching the way to the finish line. It's built with a carbon frame that balances stiffness with compliance for power when you need it most, while IsoStrut rear suspension gives you just enough squish to soften the blow through the rough terrain peppering modern XC courses. It comes ready to rip with a fully wireless 12-speed SRAM GX AXS transmission for precise shifting—even under load.

A fully wireless SRAM GX AXS 12-speed electronic transmission, OCLV carbon handlebars, Bontrager Line Dropper post, Bontrager Kovee Comp 25 tubeless-ready wheels, and SRAM Level Bronze 2-piston hydraulic disc brakes.
