Trek Session 8 27.5 GX Mountain Bike 2021
A full suspension, downhill mountain bike, the Trek Session 8 27.5 GX Mountain Bike is built for rugged, off-road trails. An Alpha Platinum Aluminium frame is paired with a RockShox Boxxer Select fork, and the SRAM 7-speed groupset is a fantastic addition. Damping the impact from even the most extreme of jumps, the Fox Performance VAN rear suspension is adjustable and easy to tailor to the intensity of the terrain you are riding.
Truvativ's Descendant DH crankset features a 34T steel chainring and it's paired with an 11-25 cassette, offering smooth and precise shifting. Wheels come courtesy of Bontrager, with their Line DH 30 alloy Tubeless Ready variants combining with Bontrager G4 Team Issue tyres. Bontrager further contributes to this bike with the addition of a Bontrager Line Pro stem, Line handlebar, Rhythm Elite alloy seatpost and Arvada saddle. Finishing touches include Wellgo BO-87B pedals and Bontrager XR Trail Elite grips.
