The Trek Remedy 7 is a long travel trail bike that sets a great standard for this category of bike. It’s reasonably well priced for a ‘shop bought’ bike, providing a nimble ride that will put a smile on your face. It's probably not the fastest bike you'll ride but it is a lot of fun!

The remedy’s trail-eating suspension and geometry inspires a spirited, almost-childlike ride.

Trek's updated 2019 Remedy 8 trail bike climbs very efficiently and gobbles up bumps on the descent.

Laura Bailey saddles up her new Trek Remedy 8 27.5 Women's in a bid to ascertain whether or not women's specific rigs are worth it.
Well specced components meant no need for immediate upgrades.
Haven’t even noticed that it’s an alloy frame.
Standard Issue Bontrager Tyres have only let me down in the deepest of mud.
Matt finishing touches on the frame scuff too easily.
Women’s finishing kit was pointless and a token effort.
SRAM Guide R Brakes needed bleeding a couple of times.

Handles well at all speeds
Excellent bump compliance
Nice components
Geometry is a little dated
Tight reach measurement
Heavy
