OMG SOO SICK!!!
its called R&D. research and development. it takes em so long because they keep making them better and better. plus, the longer it takes for them to get a model out, the more they can show it off (like this). Then more people want them because they are sicker. look at the 88, once that came out, ppl paid 6g fer a stock new model. thas rare. in 2010 (when the remedy slopestyle comes out, it was in decline), ppl will kill to get a model. and they'll be able to charge more. Trek is brilliant. i agree tho, i want one now. now now now.
Well the Remedy slopestyle (dubbed the Cam 1 and Cam 2) isn't anywhere on the Trek 2010 bikes list on the dealer site, so it will probably not be released until the actual year 2010, if at all.
To seraph...I have yet to see a full Trek line even at my shop. The Scratch is the newest model I have heard them produce which competes with the SXT. I doubt the Remedy SS will be available...I talked to one of the guys early May and he said they weren't gonna do a Remedy frame, nevertheless a 4" travel model. IDK. They may or may not do one...in terms of publicity..they should!
http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/3857346/ Hey Rattsl heres the rear pivot. http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/3755276/ and this photo clearly shows with all certainty that it is not a full floater.
i think cams is a full floater but brandons is not. i read that somewhere but never actually looked closely at cams bike..
http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2398629/ Another from last years bike. It wasnt a full floater either.
olaffons is right! right above the ABP weld just snaps. i work at a bike shop and we've gotten about five warranties two of them were 88's the others i think were remedies. dont get me wrong the bikes look good but trek needs to fix that problem
yea its so its out of the way for barspins/ t whips. if it was on his bar. it would defeat the purpose of his hydro gyro
Trek makes all these custom frames for cam . Why do they spend all this money supporting and making these custom dirt jump and slope style frames for one of the best slopestyle riders in the world , and they dont even produce slopestyle or dirtjump bikes ? i mean isnt the idea of having a pro rider ride your bike is to make of other people want to buy them ??? its suposed to be a marketing thing . but no , they hire the guy and make one off bikes for him . thats like a company that makes hockey equipment sponsering a football player, and making him custom football equipment . all the hockey players tha buy there equipment dont give a flying f*ck about , let alone probly even know who the football player is . and theres all the these foot ball palyers would buy there equipment , but it doesnt exist . I know this is bikes, but the point is its stupid creating interest in a pruduct line that doesnt really exist . You can buy a remedy for 1000's , and spend 1000's more changing all the parts on it , and its still not the same as cams , but w.e ...... its f*cked
It's called r and d, research and developement, look at mtbkr's post his is the 7th comment on this photo
brandyn16, they do make a dirt jump bike now, it's called the Ticket. Their Remedy Slopestyle frames will likely be out for 2011 if not a bit sooner. They are in the process of refining them for public use.
sure, but do you really thing the average joe is going to wait around for some thing that may never even be made?? i mean trek isnt really aimed at selling some kid a bike like that . They did debut there new dh and fr line last year i think it was, 2 bikes in total, both pushin 7 grand . how many of those do you see ever?? you probly dont even see them at shops, they wont buy them cause they cant sell them . now ask your self this . how many kona stinkys have you seen over the years?? im not taking a side for kona here, but im saying, they are the one one of the most succesfull companies in sell ign dj/ freeride bikes . not because people think they are great, or because they keep peolple in suspense for years waiting for a bike that in the end they will never be able to afford . no, they sell quality bikes people, (espeacialy young people, who are more likely to want to buy a bike of that type) . tons of people hate kona, yet if you went down to your dirt jumps, or to your bike park, your gona see tons of konas . trek is out to make one awsome bike, which are good, but nobody rides them, they can afford it usually . but kona has a line of bike for one model, you can buy a stinky for 1800, or you can buy one for 5000, and for the 1800, some kid could save up for one summer, and buy the a bike almost the same as their pros ride . i dunno, but it seems liek trek is workin the wrong angle . making top line is good, but making lower end bikes for the average joe is what sells bikes .
yea ok, they have a dj bike for the first timew in like 3 years, but they need a bike that is 1200 for a whole bike, not 1200 for just a frame .
not gonna lie but i actually see a surprising amount of session 88 considering theyre super expensive. and a friend of mine just got a ticket.
My argument on this one is the same as one I made on the article reviewing the new Scratch and Remedy models for 2010 on this site. Trek offers a lifetime warranty on all of their bikes (except the Session). Do you not think that is worth the extra money you pay for one? The only other company with a lifetime warranty is Specialized, and their comparable models are equally priced.
yes, im not saying its not a quality buy, but its not what most people want . its good to have bikes like that, but that cant be your whole line . i do like trek , i even own one and its lasted me for well for a few years now . but its a cheap one . my point is, most jumping type bikes are sold to people 18 and under im gona say, about half at least . how many people in that age group are ( i shouldnt saying willing to spend) but HAVE like $3000 to spend on their bike . not a lot of them, most will spend less then probably $1500, to start with . so i think they should have a line, with like 3 models of the ticket for example , starting around $1000 point and getting more . Trek probably is working on making some killer bikes (when they get around to producing them, but they are only targeting a small precentage of riders . They thing they are doing them selves good by keeping people in suspense you say, but when the bike fianlly drops , im gona say alot of the people that need/ want a new bike at the start of the season, arnt going to be waiting around for something that they have no clue if or when its coming out, so they will buy something else . and when it these bikes finally come out, i think alot of people wont be able to afford them
Nope its fully custom the frame doesnt have the full floater so the geomtry is setup better for slopestyle.
Keaton...it does have a full floater. Find the rear pivot. You won't because it's concentric to the rear axle with seperate stays and not a frame mounted shock.
ive heard that everywhere that he is running 6 inch. plus i got to meet the bike last year at crankworx. so i dunno if the remedy in this pic is 6, but last year im almost positive it was. im not 100% sure. what are u basing your claim on?
I'm basing my theory on a few things. One thing is that he probably wouldn't be running a 32mm stanctioned fork with 150mm of travel in the rear (like he is in this pic). Another thing is that based on what a lot of the pros are riding these days, a 6" travel slopestyle bike is almost unheard of.
hmm yes i didnt notice they were 32 this year. last year he rode the talas 36 at 160mm, so i think he rode 6 inch last year in rear. but some guys do run 6. gully for instance. but yea i see ur point here with this bike.
I do know that, but I don't see any pros running 32mm 6" travel forks on their slopestyle bikes. The new Remedy bikes for 2010 are more trail/all mountain than freeride, which is why Trek introduced the Scratch line of bikes.
Oh and Rattsl, the rear axle pivot point is for ABP (Active Braking Pivot), not Full Floater. On a Full Floater bike, the lower shock mount is on the swingarm, which pivots at a point on the seat tube. On these frames the shock is mounted directly to the front triangle near the bottom bracket.
Sur ce coup la remercie Paul qui a été voir McCaul pour lui demander de poser...

Personally I wish they had used 36mm stanctions and a 20mm axle for the new 831, since running at short travel is pretty much what people have been doing to their 36 forks already.
the difference really is damping features, and weight.
the weight is the real reason why this will be popular

Well my Reba Team Dual air 20mm was 3.8 lbs with and uncut steer tube, so the Fox really doesn't really have anything over it as far as weight.
It's as much of a jump/4X fork as the new 831 is. Almost every pro who is sponsored by SRAM races on either a Reba or Revelation 20mm.
