Speed Concept 9 Series

When Trek decided to improve upon the Equinox TTX, many in the company’s design studios knew they had a big job on their hands.  Didn’t the TTX carry Lance Armstrong and Levi Leipheimer to time trial wins in the Tour?  Didn’t it prove itself countless times in triathlon victories around the world?  How could it be surpassed? The Speed Concept was born after the Trek aerodynamicists came across an aerofoil concept invented by Wunibald Kamm.  Many in the cycling community knew that a long-tail aerodynamic teardrop shape cut through a headwind nicely, but was heavy and frequently tossed around in crosswind situations.  Kamm realized when the aerodynamic teardrop shape was cut off near the back, the airstream still followed a clean line with minimal turbulence, almost as if the removed more>>

2011 Trek Speed Concept 9.9

The Speed Concept 9.9 is Trek’s finest bicycle for riding against the watch. Triathletes have discovered that aerodynamics play a major role in achieving top performance on the bike. A smooth, comfortable ride quality is paramount in reducing rider fatigue for maximum speed, especially when the course includes rough and choppy pavement. The Speed Concept 9.9 can give a ride both benefits due to it’s Wisconsin-made OCLV2 carbon frame. The frame’s KVF shaping allows the Speed Concept to slice through the air, but still reduce weight and vulnerability to crosswinds. Ultralight SRAM Red components, including a 53/39T crankset and R2C shifters, produce razor-sharp shifts. Bontrager Aeolus 6.5 carbon wheels reduce drag, weight and fatigue in equal measure. Bontrager Speed Concept aero bars, more>>

2011 Speed Concept 9.5

The Speed Concept 9.5 shares the same frame as the 9.9, and is equipped with a value-laden component package. Shimano’s Ultegra 10-speed drivetrain runs around a 53/39T crankset. Bontrager Race Lite Aero aluminum wheels slice the air with blade spokes and reduce rotating weight for the hills. The same Speed Concept S-bend aero bars, base bar and seatpost found on the 9.9 is added here, too. Even the hidden brake calipers aren’t left out. Come in and see the Speed Concept 9.5 for more>>
