Component choices like stem and handlebar not ideal for all riders
Carbon isn’t just blingier and lighter, it’s much stiffer where it needs to be yet absorbs vibration better than aluminum.
BIKE MagazineThe Trek blasts rough lines and the Shimano kit is strong.
BikeRadarIt is a bike that’s quite capable of leaning into a bit of the next category – enduro – and doing it quite well.
Dirt MountainbikeThe 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.
Enduro Mountainbike MagazineTrek has cranked the fun dial on the Remedy 650b up to 11.

As we see in every round of the EWS, 29ers work for racing. We’ve put the Remedy 29 to the test to find out if it also can convince at our post-work rides.

Bigger turns out to be better on this speedy, 140mm-travel trail 29er mountain bike
Oct 2014 · Steve Williams
Capable and well-built, but weight, unadventurous angles and basic shocks hold it back

As an out and out trail bike, with the components to match, the Trek Remedy 29 does it all, but this bike has far more about it than just that...

Trek has cranked the fun dial on the Remedy 650b up to 11.
Being able to adjust the geometry is a massive bonus.
Handlebar and stem don’t match the attitude and geometry.
Reverb remote and Shimano shifters aren’t the best bedfellows.

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. …
Burly
Well-proven suspension and spec
Requires a wider bar
Cables are a mess
