Enduro Bike of the Year 2021:
Bought in October of 2021 from Trek Berkeley for $4700 (still have original receipt). This bike hasnt seen too much use in the last year ~300 miles (local trails dont require big enduro bikes). I meant to take it to a bike park in 2021 but work was too busy. I originally bought this same bike used in a Large and it was awesome but too big for me - I sold that one and bought this one new. Its always been stored indoors and its regularly cleaned and maintained.
My Review:
The bike has been great for the 300 Miles Ive used it for (lots of blues, and a few black diamonds). Super capable and confidence inspiring but doesnt mute the trail too much - it gives you just the right amount of feedback without being harsh or overwhelming. Its also surprisingly maneuverable for a 29er - my friend who rides a Yeti SB150 tried it and said it felt like the handling of a 27.5.
Im 510 and it would work well for a person from 56-511 depending on body proportions (arm and leg length).
Its got a really smart spec as the highest end alloy model they offer: super stiff bomb proof alloy frame, 3 degree super high engagement hubs, quality suspension (Rockshox Thru-Shaft shock is amazing), powerful Code R brakes and a full GX drivetrain. The only complaint I ever heard from a reviewer was the stock tires which I swapped out 50 miles ago.
You honestly wont find this kind of value in many other bikes. Best of all they havent changed frame from 2021 to 2022 so this is the most current build.
Upgrades:
(2) 29 Onza Aquila 2.4 Wide Tires ~$120
(1) 220mm Centerline Rotor (Front) ~$80
(1) 200mm Centerline Rotor (Rear) ~$50
Total Cost was about $5300. Asking $3400.
I also have a 230x65mm Marzocchi Bomber, coils and Trek Specific Mounting Hardware that fits it too. Can include for additional cost.
