OCLV Mountain Carbon
Trek’s mountain-specific carbon fibre is tougher carbon, with unique materials and lay-up procedures, Trek’s advanced engineering, and a higher standard of testing.
Fat and fast
27.5″ fat tyres give you the best combo of all-terrain grip, stability, flotation and fast-rolling speed
Adventure-ready fork
Farley’s new, short-offset OCLV carbon fork puts you in an optimal position over the front wheel, upping traction over sketchy terrain while allowing for a shorter stem. A customised rack mount on the crown and thoughtfully positioned triple bottle bosses (64 mm spacing) on the lower legs let you gear up without sacrificing handling. Protective rubber bumpers on the bottom of the fork legs keep the Farley upright and manageable when the front wheel needs to come off.
Haul of the wild
Mounts all over the frame let you carry a wide variety of gear with endless customisation options. Gummy bears? Extra layers? Camping gear? Haul it all.
Keep it clean
Internal routing helps to protect Farley’s components from the elements and makes it easy to mount gear
