It's finaly here,Trek has released there session 88 in a DH and FR version.

Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://www.nsmb.com/images/gear/SO08/sess88.jpgTrek Session 88 DH - 8" of travel, uses the same 1-piece 'EVO link' as the '08 Fuel and Remedy lines, along with the now Trek-standard ABP axle pivot. Expect to pay around $5999 to get a bike that builds to a lovely 37lb.

Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://www.nsmb.com/images/gear/SO08/88FR.jpgSession 88 FR - indentical geometry to the DH version, but with a more freeride component build.

Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://www.nsmb.com/images/gear/SO08/elixir.jpgNew brakes that we weren't meant to have seen yet. The Avid Elixir.

Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://www.nsmb.com/images/gear/SO08/saintmech.jpgNew Saint rear mech using a variation of Shadow technology. Notice the internal cable routing. Like the Remedy the Session 88 will pivot at the rear axle - what Trek calls 'Active Braking Pivot' or ABP.

Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://www.nsmb.com/images/gear/SO08/headtube.jpgE2 headtube flares from 1.125" to 1.5" for the best light weight / stiffness compromise..

The 88FR and DH are quite possibly two of the nicest bikes I’ve ever seen!

I’ve decided my Demo is being thrashed until next year then I might have to look into getting the 88FR.

Now where did I put those Kleenex?

Beautiful!

The only thing I don't like, is the flared headtube...
If it's like the one on the Remedy, and requires a special fork, it pretty much destroys any chance you have of upgrading until more companies adopt the tech.
