Gearing

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Key Quotes
This thing rips.
BIKE Magazine logoBIKE Magazine
The Remedy feel very planted and grippy, with the supple suspension and generous traction the whole bike confidently glues to the ground where many others would skip about and feel nervous.

It’s not the fastest up any hill but it’s one of the most fun going down.

Field Test: Trek Remedy 9.9

Dec 2018 · Mike Levy

No, the Remedy is a thinking rider's 150mm-travel bike that's happy on rowdy trails and that you'll be happy to be on during an all-day epic.

Highs
  • Versatile, well-rounded package

  • Impressive suspension performance

  • More of a long-legged trail bike than a bruiser

Lows
  • Knock Block is silly

  • Run of the mill pedaling manners

  • More of a long-legged trail bike than a bruiser

2017 Trek Remedy 9.9 RSL

May 2017

Trek went deep for 2017 and launched all new models of their Fuel EX, Remedy, and Slash platforms. At their launch event last year in Squamish we were introduced to and rode the first two, but only got a sneak peek of the Slash as its announcement followed about a month later. Go here for a full run down on spec, geo, pricing, and my early ride impressions of the Fuel EX and Remedy, and you can read Perry's Slash review here. The reason I'm starting this Remedy review with all of that info is because Trek didn't just release new versions of those bikes, they also changed the way the lineup looked:

Crankworx 2016: A day in the park with the Trek Remedy 9.9

Aug 2016 · Steve Fisher

I must admit I wasn’t super excited to hear there was a Trek Remedy waiting for me to test ride during Crankworx, as the plan was to spend the day in the Whistler Bike Park. If we were hitting the trails I would have been thrilled, but before I actually saw the new bike I …

Trek Remedy 9 29 test | Mountain Bike Reviews

Jan 2016 · Jamie Darlow

We've spent 10 months aboard the Trek Remedy 9 29, here's our thoughts

Highs
  • The first ride: on flowy trails, with stock quick-rolling rubber, the Remedy was a rocketship

  • Tweaking the geometry and getting the most from an already good bike

  • On tour at Coed-y-Brenin, where the Remedy made mincemeat of the trail centre terrain

Lows
  • My first Remedy crash, OTB when the front wheel got hooked up in a corner

  • Discovering the Mino Link adjustable geometry doesn’t push things low and slack enough

  • End of the road: the 2016 Remedy won’t be available in the UK as a 29er

Trek Remedy 9.9 29 - long-term test review

Dec 2015 · Josh Patterson

Light, fast and incredibly capable. Buy if you are looking for an incredibly capable trail bike and are willing to make some tweaks

Highs
  • An efficient climber and incredible descender in one lightweight package

Lows
  • Stock wheels and tires hold back the bike’s potential

  • Needs a firmer shock tune for aggressive riding
