Trek Session 8 Full Suspension Mountain Bike 2023

You practically live at the downhill park, and want a fast, traction-packed DH bike that can handle your gnarliest runs thanks to a suspension design that keeps you in control all the way down.

The tech you get

A burly alloy frame, 200 mm rear travel with a Marzocchi Bomber shock, 200 mm RockShox Boxxer Select with plush Charger RC damper, powerful Code R 4-piston brakes and a SRAM GX 7-speed drivetrain.

Why you’ll love it

• New suspension layout with a high pivot and idler pulley increases traction, carries more speed and reduces pedal kickback for more stability
• Virtually zero pedal kickback means that you’ll stay confidently planted and in control during descents – especially when landing jumps or drops
• The high pivot design delivers a more efficient rearward axle path so you’ll carry more speed and your wheel won’t get hung up on obstacles
• Adjust your suspension progression by flipping the lower shock mount chip – 20% for plush park rides, 25% for racing efficiency
• Our new DH sizing system is based on reach, not rider height, which is the most important factor in a great downhill bike fit

The final word

The Session has always been the go-to DH bike. Now it’s more of a ripper than ever thanks to a new suspension design that delivers more traction, speed and virtually no pedal kickback.
