Trek Procaliber 9.6 Gen 3 2025

Description

The Procaliber 9.6 Gen 3 is a carbon hardtail MTB with a need for speed. It’s built for XC racing, packing in vibration-damping IsoBow technology that flexes with the trail to reduce chatter, and aggressive XC geometry that’s confident, capable and nimble. It comes ready to rip with a 12-speed Shimano XT/SLX drivetrain and RockShox Reba RL fork.

It’s right for you if…

You’ve got race days on your mind and the only cure is more hardtail. You want a bike that helps smooth the trail with vibration-damping tech, plus a drivetrain that you can count on to deliver smooth shifts under pressure.

The tech you get

An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with IsoBow trail-smoothing tech. A RockShox Reba RL fork with 120 mm of travel, a Solo Air spring, Motion Control damper and remote lockout. A curated blend of Shimano SLX and XT 12-speed components, hydraulic brakes, a Bontrager Line Dropper post and tubeless Bontrager Kovee Comp 29″ wheels.

The final word

The Procaliber 9.6 Gen 3 is a cross-country hardtail that’s ready to deliver. It pairs a light and nimble carbon frame with trail-smoothing IsoBow tech and upgraded components where they matter most like the Shimano XT derailleur and RockShox Reba RL fork.
