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.
Holy Moly Fast!
Smooth as butter
Fair value
Inspires confidence like few others
Looks good, paint splatter!
G5 Tires
180mm rear brake rotor
Rear end can be awkward, long feeling in tight, slow corners
Handlebar sweep/lack of rise

The new Trek doesn't look like a Session...ok maybe it does, but it's still all new!
Rearward axle path and idler pulley improve square bump compliance and traction
ABP system provides neutral braking characteristics
Adjustable progressivity (20-25%) and BB height via Mino Links
Wheel size options: full 29er, mullet, full 27.5" on same frame
Chainstay length increases with frame size (439mm/445mm/452mm)
Internal and external cable routing
Replaceable downtube protector
Aluminum only, no carbon option

Out of the box the Session is a full 29” bike with the Mino link giving a High or Low setting..
Sept 2018 · Seb Stott
A pricey bike let down by a basic fork, disappointing brakes and dated geometry
‘ABP’ rear suspension provides a solid, supple action
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

All new carbon framesets for both 27.5 and 29 inch wheels for Trek's downhill race bike
May 2017
Trek releases the 2018 Session with updated geometry, refined linkage, and a revamped Float X2 shock. There's also a 29 inch version, which the internet will probably have nothing to say about.
