That's exactly what we found out for you. You can find all the details and our riding impressions here.

With its gorgeous lines and unique IsoStrut suspension design, the Trek Supercaliber doesn't look like any other mountain bike. But with just 60mm of travel, why would you choose it over a more conventional XC race bike? We put the Trek Supercaliber 9.9 to the test to find out - read on for our in-depth review.
Stunning frame design
Powerful pedalling surge
Effervescent suspension performance
Precise hifi-handling
Super light and wide Kovee XXX wheelset
Frame-saving Knock Block
Dual bottle friendly
You can run out of travel on really rough trails
The unfashionably narrow bars
Front hub should have Torque Caps
Shock servicing is more involved

Several months ago, while pondering the summer season void of events due to COVID-19, I suggested a harebrained idea to my wife. We’d recently done a few 100-plus-mile gravel rides, inspired by the #DIYGravel effort initiated by former pro cyclist (and neighbor) Ted King, in which he was encouraging people to ride the distance near their homes of the events that he’d planned to do this season. Having heard of a movement among a small faction of riders to double down on Colorado’s Leadville 100 MTB and the 144-mile SBT GRVL, originally scheduled for the same weekend in August, I suggested my wife plan a Vermont-based LeadBoat as an end-of-summer goal.
