Trek Elite 9.9 SSL
I haven’t blogged about mountain bikes before but as this is my main form of weekend fun, I thought it was about time I shared this with you.
Being in the market for a new bike, I’ve been looking around for a replacement for my failful Trek 7300, which being around 8 yr old, has served me very well.
I was on the Trek website the other day and saw this beauty, the Trek Elite 9.9 SSL. Before you get all excited, be warned, at £5,000 its not for the average biker, we are talking series about your sport here.
The Trek Elite 9.9 SSL is the highest caliber racing hardtail around. The Elite 9.9 SSL features technology previously unavailable in a mountain bike. With OCLV Carbon and a no cut off road seatmast, the 9.9 SSL is the lightest, stiffest, and fastest hardtail mountain bike around.
