The view from down below isn't bad either. You're looking at the downtube and protective fender on the '11 Session 88. Those of you who are intimately familiar with the previous iteration of the 88 should quickly spot the very different shape of the downtube. Gone is the square shape of last year, in its place is a rounder downtube with a much taller profile that has added strength that allows lighter tubing to be used elsewhere in the frame, as well as being more aerodynamic. Do you remember the wind tunnel testing that Trek did with the 88? You're seeing the results here, and while aero concerns may yield only small gains in the real world, it is very cool to see Trek taking it into account. Rather than just sitting back and being happy, Trek's engineers looked at the effects of adding the new downtube had on the rest of the frame and realized that a lighter toptube and seattube could now be used without sacrificing an ounce of strength. Remember, it's all about the total package.
