G2 Geometry:
Conventional wisdom says 29ers have sleepy handling compared to 26" wheel bikes. We solved that with G2 Geometry, featuring a custom-offset fork and advanced frame geometry for precise handling at low speed without compromising high-speed stability. It’s why Trek 29ers handle better than any others.

Flow Mold carbon swing link:
Our exclusive Flow Molded carbon linkage uses a unique carbon shaping process that minimizes material and weight while maintaining a strong bracing angle for a more rigid frame.

OCLV Mountain Carbon:
Every carbon mountain bike we make is built using OCLV Mountain Carbon. We start with our patented OCLV process, then tailor it to the rigors of off-road use. We reinforce the right areas with unique materials, while still preserving the light weight and great Trek carbon feel. It’s tougher carbon, built for the trail. We have the deepest carbon fiber know-how in the industry. Our carbon engineers and designers have pioneered new processes, obtained over 52 carbon-specific patents, and built more carbon bikes than any other manufacturer. No wonder our carbon mountain bikes are the best in the world.

Removable Carbon Armor:
Removable, replaceable down tube guard increases damage resistance, and allows riders to shed valuable grams on race day, or to replace the guard as necessary.

ABP:
Other full suspension systems firm up under braking, reducing your control when you need it most. Trek’s patented Active Braking Pivot solves that by keeping your suspension active whether you're on the brakes or off. The ABP axle is fully convertible between 142x12 and 135x5 standards, offers easy wheel installation, and is at least 20% stiffer than any open dropout design.

E2 tapered head tube:
E2 is the evolution of the traditional 1-1/8" headset to a tapered head tube, 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.

Internal shock routing:
Internal rear shock remote lockout routing solves the persistent issue of how to route the remote lockout cable by running it through the top tube for a clean, protected solution.

Internal Control Routing:
Yet another next-level mountain bike frame development from Trek: built-in ports let you route cumbersome shift and brake systems through the frame for a sleeker, quieter system. Save your frame from cable rub and save weight over competing systems, since our Internal Control Routing doesn’t use full shift-cable housing.

Front derailleur pivot mount:
Innovative derailleur placement doesn’t require a band clamp, or the additional frame material required for direct mounting. Reduces weight without compromising performance.

Fully integrated head tube:
A fully integrated head tube eliminates the need for headset cups, reducing overall weight without sacrificing performance.

BB95:
BB95 is a 95mm OCLV Carbon bottom bracket with precision-fit sockets and press-fit bearings. Its wide stance is a stronger, stiffer platform, compatible with all major crank manufacturers. Combined with EVO Link, BB95 helps your wheels track each other, rather than twist and turn with each bump.
