Trek Procaliber 9.6 Gen 3 (2025)

It's right for you if...

You've got race days on your mind and the only cure is more hardtail. You want a bike that helps smooth the trail with vibration-damping tech, plus a drivetrain that you can count on to deliver smooth shifts under pressure.

The tech you get

An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with IsoBow trail-smoothing tech. A RockShox Reba RL fork with 120 mm of travel, a Solo Air spring, Motion Control damper and remote lockout. A curated blend of Shimano SLX and XT 12-speed components, hydraulic brakes, a Bontrager Line Dropper post and tubeless Bontrager Kovee Comp 29" wheels.

The final word

The Procaliber 9.6 Gen 3 is a cross-country hardtail that's ready to deliver. It pairs a light and nimble carbon frame with trail-smoothing IsoBow tech and upgraded components where they matter most – like the Shimano XT derailleur and RockShox Reba RL fork.

Why you'll love it

• You get the hardtail efficiency you crave without the chatter thanks to IsoBow vibration-absorbing technology
• The OCLV Mountain Carbon construction is light, tough and stiff, with just enough compliance to keep you comfortable in the rough
• It comes equipped with a 120 mm suspension fork for soaking up the gnarly obstacles that pepper modern XC race courses
• You get upgrades where they matter most, like the Shimano XT/SLX drivetrain and RockShox Reba RL suspension
• You get huge clearance for up to 2.4" tyres, so you can roll with plenty of grip on loose, technical courses
