Are you saying there's 26" Enduro wheels.

@Elitecaleb: I guess some people would prefer Enduro didn't have jumps?

I know, beautiful, it kinda reminds me of Klein back in the day, boy they had nice paint jobs!

I thought it was two different bikes at first and then I realized it changes colors a little.

macross87 (May 12, 2018 at 11:14)

@landscapeben: maybe that’s why Trek purchased them(?)

bunjiman82 (May 14, 2018 at 4:41)

@macross87: That and the beautiful light weight frames they were churning out. I occasionally see one out on the trails or parked up somewhere and they're still head turning even now.

@macross87: Cor they were beautiful:

Fise is the worst thing to happen to freestyle. Nice colour tho

jpcars10s (May 11, 2018 at 16:23)

Those tires are definitely not Maxxis Ikons.

bikebike69 (May 11, 2018 at 17:02)

Why you say? they look just like my set.

TheDownhillDude (May 11, 2018 at 17:18)

BryceBorlick (May 12, 2018 at 8:01)

Could be protos. Everyone had such great success knocking off minions, why not try an ikon?

DaveATthreat (May 11, 2018 at 20:40)

When will Trek find someone who can do a better job welding there frames? For the money they should be better quality.....

supercruizer1 (May 12, 2018 at 7:01)

I thought the same thing... quantity over quality..

2 0

DaveATthreat (May 12, 2018 at 10:27)

@supercruizer1: Exactly right. You would think with quantity they would be prices for the quality they put out haha! I have seen cheap department store bikes with better quality welds.

sriracha (May 12, 2018 at 20:02)

Maybe they are double welds? Laid on thick like toothpaste for extra strength?

2 1

supercruizer1 (May 13, 2018 at 6:43)

@sriracha: The extra heat from a secondary weld would likely create a weaker section .... Just looks like a poor tie-in or improper trail off..
An ugly weld doesn't necessarily mean a bad weld..

rellinger (May 13, 2018 at 19:02)

Gorilla welds. Stronger then all get out but ugly AF.

Pretty awesome, what is that fork? 80 millimeters? The fat tires, and black rims look good together.

robito (May 12, 2018 at 9:11)

What's a mini flip? Flipping off a real small kicker?

bikebike69 (May 11, 2018 at 19:32)

With such a build, I'm surprised they couldn't give us the weight?
