Description
The Procaliber 9.6 Gen 3 is a carbon hardtail MTB with a need for speed. It’s built for XC racing, packing in vibration-damping IsoBow technology that flexes with the trail to reduce chatter, and aggressive XC geometry that’s confident, capable and nimble. It comes ready to rip with a 12-speed Shimano XT/SLX drivetrain and RockShox Reba RL fork.
You’ve got race days on your mind and the only cure is more hardtail. You want a bike that helps smooth the trail with vibration-damping tech, plus a drivetrain that you can count on to deliver smooth shifts under pressure.
An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with IsoBow trail-smoothing tech. A RockShox Reba RL fork with 120 mm of travel, a Solo Air spring, Motion Control damper and remote lockout. A curated blend of Shimano SLX and XT 12-speed components, hydraulic brakes, a Bontrager Line Dropper post and tubeless Bontrager Kovee Comp 29″ wheels.
The Procaliber 9.6 Gen 3 is a cross-country hardtail that’s ready to deliver. It pairs a light and nimble carbon frame with trail-smoothing IsoBow tech and upgraded components where they matter most – like the Shimano XT derailleur and RockShox Reba RL fork.
– You get the hardtail efficiency you crave without the chatter thanks to IsoBow vibration-absorbing technology
– The OCLV Mountain Carbon construction is light, tough and stiff, with just enough compliance to keep you comfortable in the rough
– It comes equipped with a 120 mm suspension fork for soaking up the gnarly obstacles that pepper modern XC race courses
– You get upgrades where they matter most, like the Shimano XT/SLX drivetrain and RockShox Reba RL suspension
– You get huge clearance for up to 2.4″ tyres, so you can roll with plenty of grip on loose, technical courses
Smooth means fast
Innovative IsoBow frame technology extends Procaliber’s seat stays beyond the seat tube, allowing for increased vertical complicane that smooths trail chatter while reducing frame weight.
Cool and composed
With a slacker head tube angle than most XC bikes and longer 120 mm travel, the Procaliber Carbon’s calm demeanour encourges you to put your foot down.
Float and flex
Rather than mounting to the seat stay, the brake secures to an extension of the rear axle, allowing the seat stay to flex and damp vibrations from the trail without impacting braking consistency and modulation.
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.
Shimano XT
Shimano XT is the original mountain bike groupset and trusted by generations of mountain bikers around the world. Whatever the trail, wherever you ride, XT is your solution for mountain biking today. Reliable shifting. Superior braking. Intuitive maintenance. XT is the high performance workhorse you can count on.
You almost forgot your pedals
This bike doesn’t come with pedals because you’ll have a better ride if you choose your own. See the pedal guide to find the best pedals for your riding style. Want pedals built for the race? We recommend clipless MTB pedals for control and efficiency.
