2011 Trek Marlin Single Speed
So you’re ready for single speed, off-road style? Why start from scratch and try to put something together in your basement?

The rear dropouts are a sliding vertical style for ease of adjustment. SR Suntour’s 100mm travel fork will keep you on the trail, and Tektro’s Novela mechanical disc brakes are easy to adjust in the field.

2011 Giant Trance X3
Giant’s line of Trance mountain bikes use the outstanding Maestro rear suspension system. Keeping the bike’s rear wheel attached to the ground on rough trails is easy, yet Maestro transfers power to the rear wheel without flexing the suspension under hard pedaling loads. Amazing! 125mm of travel as well! Even more amazing! The Aluxx SL-Grade aluminum frame keeps the weight down and has a tapered head tube to keep the fork from wandering on technical descents.

SRAM’s 8-speed X4 components are found in the drivetrain and Hayes mechanical disc brakes work well in muddy and wet conditions. Maxxis Crossmark tires will get you through the rough stuff, more>>
2011 Trek Superfly Elite
Wisconsin-made, but refined on the singletrack all over the world! The Superfly Elite 100 might be one of the finest mountain bikes ever made. The OCLV carbon fiber frame is light, stiff and provides a perfect platform for the rider to deliver power to the wheels. The ABP suspension pivots works perfectly with the Fox Float RP-23 ProPedal rear shock to keep the rear wheel planted, even under braking on rough descents. The front suspension is also a Fox gem: The 100RLC providing 100mm of travel. SRAM provides the X.0 10-speed drivetrain for lightning-fast, reliable shifting. Everything rotates around the 39/26T double crank and 12-36T cassette. Bontrager Race X Lite 29’er alloy wheels are shod with 29-2 Team Issue tires. Reigning those wheels in is a pair of Avid XO hydraulic disc brakes
