Experience the ultimate ride with the 2022 Session 8 29 GX from TREK, a downhill mountain bike built to deliver absolute speed, control, and stability on even the most demanding off-road tracks. This model is the all-rounder you need if you live for the thrill of downhill parks and yearn for a bike that can effortlessly handle sharp turns and rough terrains.Crafted with a robust alloy frame, this marvel of engineering showcases a high-pivot suspension design with 200 mm rear travel equipped with an advanced FOX DHX shock. Its 200 mm RockShox Boxxer Select offers a plush Charger RC damper to soften your ride and absorb impacts. The power doesn't stop there as the Session 8 includes a lightning-quick SRAM GX 7-speed drivetrain for swift and easy gear changes, allowing you to deal with varied landscapes effortlessly. Add to this its powerful Code R 4-piston brakes for greater stopping power and control, and you have a bike that is not only blisteringly fast but incredibly safe too.The new suspension design sets this bike apart from others, increasing traction and speed while substantially reducing pedal kickback, so you remain steadily in control regardless of your downhill speed. To further enhance this benefit, Session 8 features virtually zero pedal kickback, keeping you grounded and assured whether you tackle jumps, drops or treacherous descents.Also noteworthy is its improved high pivot design. This makes for a more efficient rearward axle path, helping you maintain speed while ensuring your wheel doesn't get obstructed on rugged obstacles. A lower shock mount chip allows you to adjust your suspension progression.TREK's advanced sizing system is based on reach, a crucial element as we believe it greatly impacts downhill-bike fit and performance. Enhance your speed even more with Session 8's high-pivot design. Developed to increase forward momentum and grip, this bike boasts a rearward axle path that works with, rather than against, the rearward forces from bumps making for a smoother ride. Embrace the 'Mullet' style and choose your wheel setup. Stick with the included 29er wheels for maximum speed, or change it up with a mixed setup for added agility.Get the perfect trail tune with Mino Link adjustments. Adjust both bike geometry and suspension easily, dial back for park days, or increase for efficient racing. The braking pivot offers confident control and allows our engineers to tune Session's response to acceleration and braking forces independently. Plus, session 8 comes with a size-specific chainstay length that adjusts as the frame reach grows, ensuring balanced weight distribution across all frame sizes, and paving the way for high-speed control and excitement.
