It's right for you if...

You like to go fast, and also love the idea of a hardtail with frame tech designed to take the edge off rough singletrack. Speed is your main consideration, but comfort is right up there, too.

The tech you get

A lightweight Alpha Platinum Aluminum frame with IsoSpeed, a tapered head tube, and internal derailleur routing. Procaliber AL Frameset includes a headset, and is designed for a PF92 bottom bracket, post-mount disc brakes, and Boost148 wheels.

The final word

Procaliber AL is a lightweight aluminum mountain bike frameset built in Trek's trail heritage. It's fast, responsive, and it comes in at a great value, but the biggest advantage is the trail-smoothing IsoSpeed decoupler, which takes the edge off fatiguing bumps in the trail so you can stay stronger longer.

Why you'll love it

1. The IsoSpeed decoupler makes it ride smoother than any other hardtail, so your body doesn't get beat up by trail chatter
2. Internal cable routing extends the life of your cables and adds to the bike's sleek look
3. This Alpha Platinum Aluminum frame is race-light and trail-tough
