Suspension at the back as well as the front makes for more comfort and better control by smoothing out the biggest hits. Keeping the back wheel on the ground increases traction, especially on tricky uphills.
On the downhill sections it is a bonus to be able to actually see where you are going when you get up a bit of speed.
The Marin Alpine Trail and the Wildcat Trail are Quad XC 120 bikes : super efficient, lightweight, 5 inch travel cross country bikes.
The Quad-link rear suspension system has been moved to the front of the seat tube for extra smooth action, lighter weight and less muck all over the moving parts.
Put together with a newly designed hydroformed mainframe that increases strength, stiffness and standover while reducing weight, this all adds up to a truly amazing off road experience.
The Trek Fuel EX bikes come with 5 inches of travel front and rear.
Improved geometry at the rear and the use of Fox shocks, give a stiffer faster ride with improved traction and a plusher ride. These bikes have been getting rave reviews from "those who know".
There is also a WSD Top Fuel, a lean, mean racing machine with a carbon frame and full racing kit .
