We had a little trip down to Silverstone on Friday to check out Trek’s 2015 range at the annual Trekworld show.
First up are these rather nice Bontrager Rally helmet available in a number of colour options and styled for when the “trail gets a bit gnarly”. Retail should be around £80.
The Bontrager Lithos helmet gets a style makeover and addition of a Blendr mount for lights or GoPro mounting. It’s a really neat design which pops on and off easily. The same style of mount is available for handlebars and stems making the whole thing pretty versatile.

The Bontrager Montrose range of saddles are designed with pressure relief in mind.
The clothing range is looking pretty good with a good selection of colour and decent cut for on the bike too.
The Rhythm MTB shoe gets a grippy sole, for hike a bike, to match it’s enduro aspirations.
For the XC whippets the triple X MTB is embracing euro disco slipper with a stiff pedalling platform.
Onto the bikes now. X Caliber hardtails come in different wheel sizes according to frame size.
Here’s the size chart that explains all.
The Superfly range is 29er specific and looking good with colour matched forks, hubs and rims.
Want to go “proper fast”? The Superfly 9.9 SL XX1 is probably the bike for you. With XX1 and Rockshox RS1 it’s not going to be a budget bike though.
Women get the Cali Carbon SL to meet the fast bike demand.
It’s certainly green. It’s the Farley, Trek’s contribution to the world of fat bikes.
Which also sees the introduction of Bontrager’s Jackalope tubeless ready fat bike rim.
In the world of full bounce fun the Remedy gets an update in both 27.5 and 29er platforms.
And our Dan’s favourite; the Slash gets a makeover too with a swap to Rockshox Pike and Monarch Plus.
Bike of the show we’d sell our kidneys for? I reckon the Slash 9.8 carbon enduro gnarpoon is the one. Don’t bother wrapping it we’ll ride it home.
Can’t fond the colour option to match your red raw eyes? You’ll be wanting the Project One custom option, yeah?
For quick inflation options in your pack or van we’re liking the Mini Charger and Travel Charger mini track pumps.
And finally. Need a bike with a towel rail? The Electra cruiser is looking hot.

There’s a whole lot of want hanging in this thread
So Trek having 2014 as their last “model year” last year has somewhat gone by the wayside then?
Not at all, Keith. We’ve actually introduced 6 new bike platforms since the first of the year, and will probably have at least once more before the end of this year. The idea is that we introduce them when they are ready, rather than wait until one time of the year when we introduce everything. Also, some of these bikes haven’t changed since Trek World last year. Some may have a new colour, but that’s it.
Any ideas how to fit a Rockshox Monarch onto a 2012 Slash frame? Keen on trying something different to the Fox DRCV.
At long last Bontrager produce some desirable apparel that’s not just xc biased. Liking the look of the a Rally helmet and clothing that’s not shrink to fit so it’ll fit us fat lads
Any news about the Stache?
like the Bontrager tubeless fat rims lose the heavy tubes and super low pressure in the tyres. Like the Farley a lot,I’d get one for no rusk riding……(sorry!)
mmmmmm… a kroooozer
