![]() I ended up swapping out the bar for something taller and with less backsweep, as well as putting a 5mm spacer under the stem. Plus things felt precarious in steep or technical sections. ![]() ![]() With a high-ish bottom bracket, the bar feels even lower when riding. At 6ft 3in, I was practically rubbing my knees on the bar when I leaned forward to pedal. Not only is the reach noticeably short, but the minimal-rise bar (15mm) sits low on the negative-rise stem. In fact, I found myself double-checking that Trek had sent the XL frame I’d requested. The Session 8 has solid DT Swiss wheels, Bontrager tyres and SRAM drivetrain parts, but its BoXXer RC coil fork houses RockShox’s more basic Motion Control damper. The SRAM Guide R brakes were also disappointing, lacking in power and developing a spongy feel after a few muddy rides. To be blunt, you don’t get all that much for your money. Trek calls this set-up ‘Full Floater’ and uses it to tweak the leverage curve so that the Session provides 210mm of slightly progressive travel.Ī ‘Mino Link’ chip allows the bottom-bracket height to be adjusted by 10mm and the head angle by half a degree. The shock is compressed between the upper rocker link and the forward tips of the chainstays. Trek’s ABP (Active Braking Pivot) suspension system is essentially a single-pivot with linkage-driven shock design, except it uses a rear-axle pivot to reduce the effect of braking on the suspension action.
