Trek Procaliber 8

It’s the right bike for you if you want to get into XC racing, featuring a hardtail that conquers demanding climbs and remains composed on rough terrain. You want to benefit from maximum performance and reliability anytime and anywhere.

Here’s what you get: a lightweight hardtail frame made of Alpha Platinum aluminum with modern XC geometry and a 148 mm Boost axle width for increased stiffness and stability under load, along with a trail-smoothing RockShox Recon Gold RL fork with 120 mm travel, DebonAir spring, Motion Control damper, and lockout. You also receive a smooth-shifting 12-speed drivetrain with Shimano XT/SLX components, Bontrager Kovee tubeless-ready wheels, a Bontrager Line dropper post with internal cable routing, and hydraulic disc brakes.

Our final word: When you stand on the starting line on race day, make sure it’s on the Procaliber 8. This aluminum hardtail has plenty of speed in its genes. It’s built on a modern cross-country geometry that accelerates rapidly on climbs and maintains composure on challenging descents.
