6700
The Trails Are Calling
Getting a trail-worthy bike shouldn't mean spending your way to the poor house. Luckily for you, there's the 6 Series from Trek: bikes with true off-road performance, thanks to judicious component selections and trickle-down frame technology from the big-brother 8 Series. The 6700 features all of the little touches to make this bike your next best friend. The right geometry, the right components, the right price. Indeed, the trails are calling.
8000 WSD
Fast, Light and Raceable
Lightweight bikes are fun to ride because they're easier to handle and let you travel further without getting as tired. Designed specifically for women, the 8500 WSD is the lightest WSD hardtail model Trek makes. In short, it's the best off-road hardtail choice we have for you. Ride it, love it, repeat.
8000
Fast, Light and Raceable
Racing may not be your number one priority, but that doesn't mean you want to ride anything less than the best. Sharing the same frame as the sleeper-hit surprise 8500, the 8000's performance will tackle hills and singletrack in no less a commanding demeanor, yet with parts to spare you some extra change at the end of the day.

Elite 9.9 SSL
Our Fastest Hardtail Ever
This is it — the highest caliber racing mountain bike available. At 19 lbs and with 100mm of front suspension, the all-new Elite 9.9 SSL features technology previously unavailable in a mountain bike. With OCLV Carbon and a no-cut off-road seatmast, the 9.9 SSL is the lightest, stiffest, and fastest hardtail mountain bike around.
69er
Have it All -- with gears!
69er is all about serious fun.

This 3x9 bike gives mere mortal riders the gears they need to keep things moving, plus the same rippin' Fox F29 fork that the big-wheelers are raving about

The Supermotard: a track bike with mountain tires
Electric Mountain Bikes
Salsa Fargo 29er complete bike
If that long and winding road is beckoning to you…consider our adventure touring 29’er mountain bike, the Fargo. Crafted of Salsa Classico CroMoly, the Fargo is a bit of a bicycling anomaly: a disc brake only, drop bar mountain bike designed for fully-loaded touring. Drop bars provide multiple hand positions for long days on the road or trail. A full compliment of braze-on’s on the frame and fork allow for both front and rear racks and fenders. The investment cast chainstay-mounted disc brake mount is conveniently tucked out of the way, eliminating accessory mounting interference. Load as much or as little gear as you choose for your next adventure. Six (count ‘em, six) water bottle cage mounts (on sizes 18 – 24") help keep you hydrated on a long journey. The sloped toptube allows plenty of standover clearance for those fully-loaded starts and stops. Both frame and fork offers gobs of tire clearance. Run pavement friendly 700c x 35mm rubber, or throw on some big 29 x 2.4" meat (29 x 2.3" with Planet Bike Cascadia fenders). The Fargo is designed to take you wherever it is you wish to go. Throw a dart at a map, make some plans, load up your gear, and hit the two-wheel highway. Fargo. Go far.
