All-new Supercaliber - The next-generation ultimate XC race bike

Fortune favours the fast

When it comes to course-scorching speed, what matters most is that it’s proven, and no cross-country mountain bike sets the bar quite as high as Supercaliber. From its first iteration to the all-new second-generation, Supercaliber has had its mettle tested on the most demanding cross-country courses on the planet. It charges ahead with hardtail efficiency and full-suspension compliance that crushes the competition. And you don’t just have to take our word for it – since 2019, Supercaliber has harvested an ever-growing collection of 30+ gold medals from the world’s most renowned competitions, from World Cups to World Championships, just to prove it.

THE PROOF IS ON THE PODIUM.

More trail-taming travel

Year after year, cross-country courses continue to get gnarlier. Bigger features and rowdier rock gardens can send riders off the bike, that’s why we’ve bumped up Supercaliber’s suspension. Now with 110 mm of front and 80 mm of rear travel, Supercaliber gives you more compliance in the rough stuff, so you can rally faster.

IsoStrut - Fast is smooth

Trek’s exclusive IsoStrut shock sits at the heart of Supercaliber, shifting it into territory that rides the fine line between a hardtail and full suspension. IsoStrut is structural suspension that pairs damped, tuneable travel with unique pivotless seatstays that move with the trail, keeping you smooth and fast.

Strut meets Luxe

Smoother suspension performance with a new RockShox SIDLuxe IsoStrut means rocks and roots feel better than ever.

SL VS SLR - Light or lighter

With two levels of OCLV Carbon to choose from, you get to pick how light you roll. Go light with Supercaliber SL or even lighter with Supercaliber SLR that saves grams by reducing material, using a higher-modulus carbon lay-up and skipping the guides for internal cable routing.

As a feather

Gram counters, rejoice. Supercaliber SLR’s intensely light lay-up keeps weight shockingly low, weighing in at just 9.3 kg for a Carbon Red Smoke Supercaliber 9.9 XX AXS T-Type build in size medium.

Once upon a trail

Extra fuel in the tank

Riding fast burns through a lot of energy. That’s why Supercaliber has room for two full-sized water bottles, so you can stay fuelled all the way to the finish line.

No small flex

Flexing stays may make a ride smooth, but they can pose challenges when it’s time to brake. To allow for the most flex possible – and a smoother ride – we use a brake mount that floats around the rear axle, allowing the rear triangle and suspension to act freely while improving braking performance.

Progressive cross-country geometry

1: Longer reach

Supercaliber Gen 2 gets longer in the cockpit for extra stability and control, so you can rip through rowdy descents.

2: Slacker headtube

A slacker, 67.5° headtube angle stretches out the front-end for easy handling on steep downhill sections and techy terrain.

3: More travel

Supercaliber Gen 2 gets a bump in travel with 110 mm in the front and 80 mm in the rear to haul ass on the downs.

IsoStrut: an innovation in speed

The magic of Supercaliber

Supercaliber is a radically new short-travel XC race bike that sprints and climbs faster than a full-suspension bike and gives you more control than a hardtail. Its magic comes from IsoStrut, a structural, frame-integrated shock created in partnership with RockShox suspension engineers that delivers the ideal suspension solution for today’s fastest cross country racers.

How IsoStrut works

IsoStrut is a frame-integrated shock that provides 80 mm of damped, tuneable rear travel for XC racers. Supercaliber’s unique design relies on minimalism. There’s nothing here that isn’t necessary, and every piece is made to work together as part of a greater whole.

Lightweight, structural speed

Standard full-suspension bikes have an independent shock and linkage system, but IsoStrut was designed to be a structural part of Supercaliber. This design eliminates the extra hardware and parts normally associated with full-suspension bikes, and the extra weight along with them.

Anti-rotation, anti-deflection

IsoStrut is encased in a structural stanchion that prevents twisting, flex, deflection and shock damage. You get the direct power transfer and racy feel of a hardtail, with a short-travel shock that soaks up the trail’s fatiguing bumps.

Pivotless seat stays

When you add extra linkages to a bike’s design, you get excess lateral motion. That’s not efficient, and it’s not fast. With IsoStrut, our engineers ditched the traditional rear pivot and designed wide, flat seat stays that bow vertically, not laterally. They keep the rear of the bike stiff and give it the responsive feel of a hardtail.

Damped and fully tuneable

IsoStrut uses a standard shock pump so you can tune the spring rate for your weight, and it has a dial for adjusting rebound and a lockout.

The Supercaliber SL 9.6 is a carbon cross-country 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 12-speed Shimano SLX drivetrain, so you've got a gear for every climb and breakaway.

It's right for you if...

You're looking for a cross-country race bike and want a little suspension to sweeten the ride. You want the benefits of a carbon frame and IsoStrut, and want workhorse components you can count on and upgrade over time.

The tech you get

An SL OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with modern XC geometry. 110 mm of front suspension from a RockShox Recon Gold RL fork with DebonAir spring and Motion Control damper and 80 mm of IsoStrut rear suspension from a RockShox SIDLuxe shock. A Shimano drivetrain with a blend of Deore and SLX components, OCLV Carbon handlebars and a dropper post. Plus, the reliable stopping power of Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.

The final word

If you're at home between the tape and want an XC steed that can keep up, the Supercaliber SL 9.6 is for you. It's bred for cross-country, with modern race geometry and just enough supple suspension to smooth out the rough stuff and keep you hammering until you cross the line.

Why you'll love it

1. You get a 110 mm fork and 80 mm of IsoStrut rear suspension that partners with slacker, capable geometry for handling the roots and rocks of modern XC courses
2. IsoStrut gives you tunable, damped suspension without missing out on efficiency for hammering up climbs at top speed
3. The frame's SL OCLV Mountain Carbon gives you the vibration damping and stiff responsiveness of carbon with a smaller price tag
4. Pivotless seat stays save on weight and actively bend to help soak up trail chatter
5. The 12-speed Shimano drivetrain gives you a huge range of gears, so you can ease the ups in the big ring or stomp to the front in the flats
