Its RE:aktiv suspension technology and Active Braking Pivot are frequently praised for providing a smooth ride both uphill and downhill, making it a versatile choice for trail riding.

Trek Remedy 7 review

Apr 2019

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!
