2020 Trek Supercaliber 9.9 AXS Review – Point. Shoot!

  • Joel Meintjes
  • July 29, 2020

Every detail of the bike has been carefully considered and designed by Trek engineers, to the extent that the bike operates in absolute symmetry with its rider. Literally, the only aspect at play, that can determine victory or defeat for any rider, is their skill or fitness level. It entirely eliminated the question of; “is my bike really fast enough?”. The minute I hopped on board the Supercaliber, I just knew it was.
