I like the direction Trek are going with this. Not quite enough travel for my tastes and skills but I’m liking adjustability to suit a rider. My current Fuel ex is now quite dialed for my body and preferences. I was chatting with the local Trek rep at the LBS the other day and he mentioned a new race hardtail is coming soon. And the lack of colour is nice. I know some dislike a matt black bike with subtle colour blocks but to me it never looks dated and ugly. I might like a colourful swishy swirly bike for a few minutes but come resale time trendy colours make a bike look dated. Like too much makeup or jewelry on any person.
