Nope. Bontrager. Not quite on the web yet due to their availability. But they're Bontrager bits.

Everyone here at Trek is stoked for you, Aaron!

No alloy frame option — but the 8 and 88 builds are pretty dern good right out of the box.

The cool thing about this launch is that the alloy bikes are all new as well. The 88 and the 8 get the same frame, and they both share geometry and the same features as the 9.9 (increased travel, new leverage rate, Mino Link adjustable geo., AngleSet compatible). Those 2 price points aren't going away.

@MattPatt -- funny, we've tossed that T idea around before. Rather than that, we opted for a #Gwinning shirt as a special one-off project. Now we just need the right slogan for T-Mo t-shirt to remind people how awesome she's doing this season!

If you're measuring gaps and jumps, the launch that Aaron rode off in the video was at least 30ft from takeoff to landing. It was one of the more impressive things I've seen -- he'd never ridden it before, and just came in charging so hard that the first time he flew through tree branches. incredible.

I would not say that Fox had nothing to do with it — Trek conceived the technology and owns the intellectual property, but Fox was a major partner in figuring out how to manufacture it...

hahah... it was a funny day for sure to do all that wrenching on the floor. had to stay low key, and shipping product into Canada ain't easy. let alone getting it home.

very different technology -- this allows you to use the lightest weight spring and adjust it to your rider weight by adding air. nothing else like it!

No, it's a Trek patent -- so, distributed through Trek only. But I guess if someone wanted to buy the Session 9.9 and put the fork on their bike, they'd be welcome to. Not sure why you'd want to do that though...
