Trek also designed the Procaliber with Boost hub spacing, internal dropper-post routing and an extended range of frame sizes, from 15.5 inches to 21.5 inches. The technology was then transferred into the mountain bike line and trickled down to even the most entry-level Procaliber. Trek’s IsoSpeed decoupler was first designed for its road racing team, allowing the bikes to travel over rough cobblestone streets with relative ease and comfort. What sets the Procaliber apart from any other hardtail is its IsoSpeed decoupler. The Procaliber 8 has an aluminum frame with a hidden trick up its sleeve. The Procaliber is a hardtail, so it’s not likely to be the choice of a rider who prefers gravity-fed technical terrain, but it could suit riders of all levels and ages who ride on dirt roads, racecourses and any local singletrack. This bike is also well suited for kids looking to join their local high school mountain bike team due to its reasonable price. The Procaliber 8 is ideal for riders interested in cross-country riding who don’t want to go all in with a top-dollar carbon fiber machine. So, the final question remains: can this aluminum cross-country hardtail hold its own against a sea of eager race bikes? Let’s find out. The Procaliber 8 has an aluminum frame, drastically reducing its MSRP while still providing racers with top-notch performance. Luckily, Trek is quite aware of this and offers its flagship cross-country hardtail with multiple build packages, bringing the cost down to a much more approachable price. To most, the high-performance machine was an out-of-reach price tag, unless you were a sponsored racer. It was, and still is, a cross-country rider’s dream bike-and that was sort of its only downfall. The bike was a rocket ship, and if it had wings, it would likely blast right through the stratosphere. Just over a year ago our test riders tossed a leg over the highly anticipated Trek Procaliber 9.9 SL, a bike built with all the best carbon parts Bontrager had to offer and a complete weight (with pedals) of just 20 pounds. Procaliber performance, entry-level price
