Review: Trek Session 9 X01 2022

Oct 2021 · Drew Rohde

If you’re looking for a bad ass downhill bike that will literally have you taking your fingers off the brakes longer as it floats over the chunder beneath you, the 2022 Trek Session 9 is worth a solid look.

Highs
  • Holy Moly Fast!

  • Smooth as butter

  • Fair value

  • Inspires confidence like few others

  • Looks good, paint splatter!

  • G5 Tires

Lows
  • 180mm rear brake rotor

  • Rear end can be awkward, long feeling in tight, slow corners

  • Handlebar sweep/lack of rise

Trek Session 8 27.5 review

Sep 2018 · Seb Stott

A pricey bike let down by a basic fork, disappointing brakes and dated geometry

Highs
  • ‘ABP’ rear suspension provides a solid, supple action

Lows
  • Relatively short front end feels cramped, high bottom bracket and short frame deliver a sometimes precarious-feeling ride, harsh fork and weak brakes are disappointing for the price
