the Remedy to be a revelation
Bicycling
Trek’s new Remedy 9 29 is a bruiser of a bike, ruthlessly mowing down smaller trail obstacles and allowing you to carry an inordinate amount of speed on rough terrain.

Read the full review of the Trek Remedy 650b 9.8 27.5 mountain bike

Highs
  • Trek has cranked the fun dial on the Remedy 650b up to 11.

Lows
  • Handlebar and stem don’t match the attitude and geometry.

  • Reverb remote and Shimano shifters aren’t the best bedfellows.
