Exclusive First Look: Prototype Enduro Sash™
Don't be fooled everyone!!! It is exactly the same as the All Mountain version from last year... they just tagged "Enduro" on it to be cool!

Trek Remedy 9 29 - Review
@mikelevy - haven't read all of the comments but to clear up the clunk coming from the rear when brakes are applied is coming from the XT finned brake pads. We have noticed it on a couple of bikes including my Remedy 9 29. We have never heard any such sound coming from an ABP.... although there is always a first.
Question - In your opinion ("No, the bike is not as agile as a 26"-wheeled machine of equal travel, and it did take a bit more effort to throw around, but the tradeoff is awe-inspiring calmness in the heat of battle.")
Is is really not as agile.. or could it be with a little more time on the bike? Having spent most our lives on 26" and only through time on the saddle have we gotten to the level of agileness we enjoy today.... would we not get there in time on the 29er, or will they always hold us back? Is it only the elite level pro rider that will really notice this potential drawback? If true, I feel it would be worth mentioning that 80-90% of todays bike consumers would likely never notice less agility, and quite possibly notice the opposite.
This is my 4th year on a 29er (rumble fish for 3 and now Remedy) and I have surpassed any of my pre abilities in throwing around a bike since this Remedy came into my life. Me being part of the 80-90% lol
Thanks for your time. Great review!

Pinkbike Poll: Did you pay full price for your last bike?
haha. your name is extremmist! no false advertising here... I hear what your saying Extreammist... Although I think believing your getting the same thing at a better price is naive. Good shops are in it for the long haul and will be there for you when you need them... that costs money. Poor shops will do what they think they need to to get YOUR money NOW!! Selling below MSRP leads to struggling shops that are more worried about making their next bill payment then fixing your bike right the first time.... and maintaining the ability to pay techs that have the experience YOU should be demanding from your shop.
PS Very close call Steevo3030!

Pinkbike Poll: Did you pay full price for your last bike?
You all could buy a new bike every year if you limited your beer/weed/fast food intakes. Budget properly like your Dads been telling ya for years... this instant gratification trend is destroying any of you from actually NOT living pay check to pay check. Save and Play
