2021 Trek X-Caliber 9 Hardtail Mountain Bike in Teal/Volt Fade is the top-end model in the X-Caliber family that will help you cover more trail in less time. It's a fully race-ready cross-country mountain bike built with competition-level parts designed to compete. Trek is a renowned company known around the world. Their bikes are prominently used by professionals in road, gravel and mountain biking.

The X-Caliber 9 is built with hi-spec lightweight parts ensuring reliability. Despite all this, it has the price of a more basic hardtail. X-caliber 9 has a lightweight Alpha Gold Aluminium frame, built to be sturdy with a playful geometry making it easier to control your bike on technical trails and winding singletrack. Sleek internal cable routing gives you clean looks, protects your cables and makes it easy to upgrade to a dropper post for even more capability. The frame is fully compatible with higher-end parts, like race wheels and a dropper post, if you ever find the need to upgrade. RockShox Judy Silver 100 mm suspension air fork with remote lockout letting you lock out the fork without taking your hands off the bars. 1x12 Shimano XT/SLX drive train and a wide-range cassette make it an excellent choice for easier climbing, speeding through singletrack and race-ready. Smart Wheel Sizing means you'll get the fastest wheel that fits (29" wheels on larger frames, 27.5" wheels on smaller frames). The wheels have lightweight alloy rims that save weight and are easy to upgrade to tubeless, with wider Boost141 hubs for increased wheel strength and better tyre clearance. Shimano hydraulic disc, MT4100 lever, MT410 calliper and MT401 lever, MT400 calliper disc brakes provide powerful stopping. Shimano XT M8100, long cage, 51T max cog clutch rear derailleur prevents chain slap, even in the rough. As if all that wasn't enough the X-Caliber 9 has rack and kickstand mounts so you can use it for bikepacking or even running errands.

Mountain Bike Buying Guide

Mountain biking is an incredibly diverse sport. Mountain bikes now come in three main flavours. They are XC, Trail and Enduro.

XC – short for cross country, are quick race bikes. They will normally have 29” wheels and come with 100mm of suspension. If you are mainly going to be riding bridleways and natural trails in the South East of England, where our shops are, an XC bike will be the quickest and most efficient option.

Trail – these bikes are designed to be pedalled up and down hill and for use on bridleways and natural trails, but also at dedicated trail centres. They normally come with 130mm or 140mm of suspension travel and can have either 27.5” or 29” wheels, but 29” is quickly becoming the norm. Trail bikes are good all-rounders. They won’t be as fast as an XC bike on the flat but they can handle a lot more challenging terrain, and a few jumps. If you plan on taking your bike to trail centres in Wales, or to the Alps, then a trail bike may be your best option.

Enduro – enduro racing is a thing in and of itself but many people buy enduro bikes for ‘aggressive’ trail riding and uplift days at places like Bike Park Wales. This generally means challenging downhill trails with some big jumps. With around 160mm of suspension travel enduro bikes can take some big hits. They are designed to be efficient enough to pedal up hills but really come into their own when pointed downhill. You get enduro bikes in either 27.5” or 29” wheel sizes as well as mullet setups of 29 at the front and 27.5 at the back.


Men’s and women’s mountain bikes

Nearly all the mountain bikes we sell are now unisex. All of the big brands have gradually stopped doing dedicated men’s and women’s bikes over the last few years. Instead they are focussed on producing bikes in a bigger range of sizes. So, for instance, the Trek Marlin 5 is a unisex bike that now comes in sizes from XXS to XXL large. This means it will fit riders from 4’ 5” to 6’ 5” and everything in between.
