Trek X-Caliber 8 2020
Trek
The X-Caliber 8 is the cheapest bike in the Trek range with an air sprung fork. Air sprung forks are great because of the ease with which one can achieve a customised tune. By simply adding or removing air, the fork can be dialled in to offer an optimum amount of resistance to the rider's weight. An adjustment that on a coil sprung fork requires a costly change of spring. Air sprung forks are also significantly lighter than coil sprung forks.
Includes comprehensive, personalised bike fitting plus bundled accessories and 14 months of FREE servicing. Hendry Cycles' new bike packages that are amongst the best value in the country and we stand behind our products with high quality servicing & repairs.
