Details

Remedy 9.8 is a high-end long travel trail bike built for getting rowdy on the most technical mountain bike trails. It offers the versatility and capability to take on everything from epic singletrack to serious air. A stiff OCLV Mountain Carbon frame, carbon wheels, Fox Performance suspension featuring Trek's exclusive RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft, and a 1x12 SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain are perfect for your wildest all-mountain adventures.

It's right for you if...
You're an all-mountain junkie who lives for the fun only a long travel trail bike can deliver. You love carving descents and throwing down style on new lines. You're a ride or die kind of mountain biker, and want a bike you can handle—not one that handles you.

The tech you get
A lightweight full OCLV Mountain Carbon, a Fox Performance 36 Float 160mm fork, and 150mm of rear travel with a FOX Performance Float shock with Trek's exclusive RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft damper. Plus, a SRAM GX Eagle 1x12 drivetrain, Line 30 carbon wheels with a 54-tooth Rapid Drive rear hub for fast engagement, a Bontrager Line Elite Dropper, and SRAM G2 RSC hydraulic disc brakes.

The final word
Remedy 9.8 is a carbon long travel bike with great suspension and a solid parts group that's light enough to stay quick on the climbs. It's a perfect all-around trail bike for riders who want a big, no-compromise build, and a quick, capable all-mountain ride.

Why you'll love it
- Remedy 9.8 plows through the gnarly stuff, but still likes getting loose on jumps and berms
- "Wait for me," said no Remedy rider ever—This bike has a lot of travel, but it's also extremely quick on the flats and climbs
- RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft works faster than a normal shock, so it tracks the ground better and keeps you in control
- It has all the latest tech that adds up to a great ride, like a 54-tooth Rapid Drive hub, Mino Link adjustable geometry, and Boost148/110 hub spacing

Wider than standard yet narrower than fat, plus-size rims and tires hit the sweet spot in grip, stability, and speed, giving you more confidence on technical terrain. Compared to a standard tire you’ll feel grip in places you wouldn’t expect thanks to a bigger contact patch and greater rollover clearance. More air volume allows lower tire pressures which softens bumps and increases float on sand or snow. Whether you’re a novice or an expert, the benefits of plus-size tires and rims will amplify your mountain biking fun.

A dropper seatpost allows you to quickly lower and raise your seat to give you an ideal riding position. Dropping your seat creates a lower center of gravity for better control and maneuverability on steep descents, while raising it puts you at normal riding height for efficient pedaling.

Construction can include either hydraulic- or cable-actuated systems and the post’s travel can either be infinitely adjustable or stopped at set intervals, depending on the model.

Dropper seatposts come in standard lengths and diameters and vary by the amount of travel.
