The Session 88 platform features all of Trek’s recent full suspension development efforts including the one piece of technology responsible for creating the most active suspension system under braking, ABP. The Session 88 platform also combines Trek’s Full Floater shock mount with a custom-tuned Fox DHX 5 coil shock, delivering the small bump compliance, good mid-stroke control and bottomless feel associated with all of Trek’s full suspension offerings.
Stiffness and strength, balanced with light frame weight, were a major concern for the Trek team. To that extent, Trek’s industrial designers used hydroforming and extensive frame shaping to achieve project goals. Also of note in the frame construction is the one-piece EVO rocker link and E2 tapered steerer/head tube technology.
“Our goal with developing a new Freeride and DH bike is in line with Trek’s guiding principle to have the best in class product for every category we pursue,” said Joe Vadeboncouer, Trek’s product manager. “The new Session products are my personal favourites of all the full suspension bikes we build at Trek.”
