Trek X-Caliber 8 Mountain Bike 2023
Trek's X-Caliber 8 Mountain Bike is a cross country race-ready machine with an efficient, lightweight Alpha Gold Aluminium chassis featuring internal cable routing. The RockShox Judy air front fork adds 100mm (80mm for XS) of suspension for added comfort and control. The fork can be locked out for maximum efficiency when climbing steep hills and opened up again to soak up the rougher terrain.
The 12-speed Shimano groupset consists of a Deore shifter and wide-range 10-51 cassette with an XT rear derailleur to ensure smooth and accurate shifting. The hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful, reliable all-weather performance. The wheels are frame size-specific, with the smaller including 27.5" and the larger 29", ensuring effective control and responsiveness no matter your height. The rim and tyre combination offers tubeless-ready compatibility for the ultimate puncture protection and rolling efficiency.
Highlights
- Cross country race-ready machine kitted with high-performance components
- The frame is fully compatible with higher-end parts, like race wheels and a dropper post, if you ever find the need to upgrade
- Smart Wheel Sizing means you'll get the fastest wheel that fits (29˝ wheels on larger frames, 27.5˝ wheels on smaller frames)
- Tubeless-ready wheels with wider Boost141 hubs for increased wheel strength and better tyre clearance
- The Shimano Deore/XT 1x drivetrain delivers a wide range of gearing with the simplicity of a single shifter
