Style:
The Remedy 7 will take you up to places the shuttle doesn’t run. And when it’s time to point back down, you’ve still got the legs to pump the g-outs, rhythm that elusive double, and clean the loose granite rubble. So drop the lift ticket and load your pack. All you need are the legs and the gusto.
The Remedy is ram-packed with technology. Everything Trek know is represented in the Remedy - the most capable trail descender, with unsurpassed climbing ability.
If your idea of a great day is testing the limits of your skills on a bike that can take you up, down, and wherever you want to go, Remedy is your ride. An all-day, technical trail machine, a perfect combination of lightweight climbing performance and descending prowess. With 150mm of travel, it's ready to go faster and climb higher than anything else in its class.
Highlights:
- ABP: patented, proven: Trek’s patented ABP means your suspension works the same whether you’re on the brakes or off. Smooth, controlled suspension that’s at its best all the time.
- Legendary control of the patent-pending DRCV rear shock technology
- More control, adjustable geometry: New geometry increases control at higher speeds. Remedy now features Mino Link adjustable geometry, and ISCG tabs on all models!
- Why settle for 140mm?: Sacrifice nothing on the climbs, gain everything on the descents. The 150mm platform weighs no more than the 140mm competition, and surpasses them all in descending ability.
Features:
ABP:
Other suspension systems firm up under braking. The patented Active Braking Pivot (ABP) allows your suspension to remain active, whether you're pedalling, coasting or braking. This means your bike performs as it was intended, all the time.
ABP Convert offers all the benefits of the original ABP, and comes with interchangeable wheel interface options so you can swap from a 142x12mm rear wheel back to a traditional style 135x5mm wheel. And with ABP Convert's thru-axle, it's 35% stiffer than any open dropout design.
EVO Link:
The EVO Link is Trek’s exclusive evolution of the rocker link from the plate-and-bolt style used on most suspension bikes today to a one-piece moulded magnesium rocker link. This lighter link provides a stronger connection at the system’s most crucial connection point between the front and rear triangles.
Full Floater:
Most suspension systems attach the shock to a moving linkage at the top, and a fixed frame mount on the bottom. That fixed mount can contribute to a harsh ride.
Full Floater attaches the shock to two moving linkage points that give the shock increased ability to respond to bumps across a wide variety of terrain. It feels like more travel, but it's not - it's smarter travel.
DRCV Rear Shock:
Can't control big hits? Trek solved that.
Most full suspension air-shock bikes use a small-volume canister. A small-volume shock is efficient, because it doesn't move up and down excessively when you pedal. But it doesn't have the best big-hit control.
To compensate, some companies use a less-efficient larger-volume shock. Others try to strike a balance with cumbersome manual controls or with fussy, overly complex shock systems. So to gain control, you either lose efficiency, or you lose simplicity.
DRCV shocks solve that.
DRCV seamlessly adjusts its air volume based on the size bump you encounter. You get supple feel on the small bumps, seamless control over midsize bumps and harsh hits, with less rear-wheel hang-up. Seemingly bottomless travel on the rough stuff. Big hits seem to disappear. All this, with the pedalling efficiency of a small-volume shock.
• Sag + small bumps: DRCV is supple and controlled like any other Fox RP2 or RP23 rear shock at sag and over small bumps.
• Midsize bumps: This is where DRCV shines. At 50% of compression, the shock opens up more air volume. Where other shocks wallow and stick, DRCV offers seamless control through the nastiest terrain you can find.
• Finish: Throughout the final stages of compression, DRCV behaves like a larger- volume air shock.
• Return: As the shock returns to its idle state, the shock closes the secondary air chamber to return to its small-bump compliance.
Mino Link Adjustable Geometry:
Need an attitude adjustment? Trek solved that.
The Mino Link is an adjustment link located on the EVO Link. By flipping the Mino Link, riders can choose between slack or slacker geometry, without negatively affecting suspension performance.
E2:
The evolution of the traditional 1 1/8" headset to a tapered headtube, fork, and headset system.
E2 tapers from a 1.5" lower to a 1 1/8" upper headset to provide more material where it matters most, resulting in a stronger, lighter frame with point-and-shoot control.
15QR:
A 15mm front thru axle makes steering more precise for more control, and the quick release feature allows for easy wheel removal.
Alpha Platinum frame:
Trek’s high-performance lightweight aluminium alloy is continuously cold extruded and butted at multiple points for ultimate weight reduction and superior strength. Frames built with Alpha Platinum feature a high degree of hydroforming to create the most complex industrial designs for the lightest weight, and are finished using Trek's smooth-weld finishing process.
Front derailleur internal routing:
Sleek ports at the head tube and near the seat tube let you run your front derailleur housing directly through the frame, keeping the cable protected from the elements and your bike running smooth, clean, and quiet.
ISCG mounts:
International Standard Chain Guide mounts offer easy aftermarket chainguide device installation and adjustment.
Shimano SLX/Deore 3x10 drivetrain: With a 10-speed cassette and a 3-ring crankset, 3x10 delivers a closer-ratio drivetrain, a wider range of gears, and increased efficiency and durability.
Avid Elixir 3 hydraulic disc brakes: give great stopping power and control.
