'13 Trek

The pinnacle of design, the zenith of performance, Trek's Superfly 100 Elite SL strikes fear in the heart of lesser race bikes the world around. It even has trail bikes keeping a watchful on it with 100mm of confident, custom Fox suspension. Trek used all the tricks in their arsenal like E2, BB95, ABP, a 142x12mm rear axle and G2 to give you a ride like nothing else out there: fast but not twitchy, capable but not sluggish. It climbs and accelerates like a race bike, yet somehow, it descends like a trail bike. The frame is amazing and victory is practically assured with a full XT group with chain-slap-reducing XT Plus rear derailleur, tubeless-ready Bontrager Race Lite wheels, a Bonty carbon bar and a ti-railed saddle. Down for racing, capable out on real trails, it's not called Elite by chance.
