Next we continue with Trek’s awesome Session 9.9…

If you want a true DH race bike then we think this is quite possibly the very best that there is. Others may beat it in certain areas, but this bike wins simply because of its neutrality, it’s like a blank canvas. It never does anything strange, it just lets you get on with the job in hand, popping in and out of holes, whilst all the time carrying some serious speed. The drawback used to be that the only way to own one of these carbon frames was to buy the seven grand complete bike, but now the Session 9.9 has joined Trek’s ‘Project One’ scheme which allows you to custom spec the bike, right down to a fancy paint job. Exact pricing is yet to be sorted, but you’ll definitely be able to build one for much less than £7000.
