Summary

The Trek Remedy is a versatile trail bike praised for its capable suspension that excels in rough terrain and provides excellent small bump compliance.

Overall, it's seen as a fun, agile bike that can lean into enduro riding.

Key Quotes
Carbon isn’t just blingier and lighter, it’s much stiffer where it needs to be yet absorbs vibration better than aluminum.

The Trek blasts rough lines and the Shimano kit is strong.
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
It is a bike that’s quite capable of leaning into a bit of the next category – enduro – and doing it quite well.
Dirt Mountainbike logoDirt Mountainbike
The Remedy is perhaps not best suited for a hardcore racing style, but rather for comfortable enduro tours with a focus on smooth riding, comfort, and safety.

Flow's First Bite: Trek Remedy 9 29

May 2014

Check out our full review here. It’s nice to be able to get away with mistakes. You know, maybe give someone’s car a nudge on a tricky reverse park, but they don’t see and there’s no damage. Or looping out during a wheelie but getting your feet unclipped just in time to save your coccyx. …

Highs
  • Burly

  • Well-proven suspension and spec

Lows
  • Requires a wider bar

  • Cables are a mess
