Quick Ride Review: 2017 Trek Remedy 9.8

The not-so-minor details.

Trek Remedy 9.8

Trek Bicycles Australia

AUD6,799.00

Bigger and angrier than before. Ideal for 27.5" wheel fans. Plush and grippy.

Double chainring not our choice.

For 2017 suspension bumps up to 150mm of travel and slackens off the head angle, now adjustable between 66.5 and 66-degrees. Reach has been pushed out quite a lot as well, by 11mm on a size 19″ (large) frame, and short 50mm stems are employed across the range.

With more travel and such aggressive geometry, the Remedy can be ridden harder, so Trek needed to make the bike stiffer. The Remedy and the Fuel us the new Straight Shot down tube, the massive, boxy down tube shaves a few grams and gives the front serious stiffness. But with the wide fork crowns of boost spacing forks they ran into clearance issues so to stop the crowns impacting the frame when the wheel turns right around, they came up with a headset that stops the rotation, ‘Knock Block’. In addition to the headset there are bumpers underneath the head tube area to further protect the frame.

The wide Bontrager Line rims, grippy XR4 tyres and big 35mm stem clamp give the Remedy a far tougher appearance than the 2016 model, these were the areas we upgraded our long term test bike last year, Trek are onto it!

A complete Shimano XT groupset is always a good sight, the 9.8 is covered in the stuff. The brakes are especially nice and Trek are using the I-Spec single handlebar clamp for the brake and shifter to keep the cockpit as neat as it can be.

The 9.8 does have a double chainring, which isn’t our cup of tea but sure can come in handy on the longer climbs out there.

We spent a whole year aboard the hot green/yellow 2016 model 9.8 and after just a quick ride on this one we’re very impressed. It feels a whole lot more robust and the rear suspension feels more planted, and with the wide rims and insanely good XR4 tyres it feels great at speed.

With 29ers on either side of the Remedy in the Trek range with the 130mm Fuel and 160mm Slash, the 150mm travel Remedy is a bike that will enjoy a jump, drop, drift and a tight line on the trail.

Stay tuned for more as we get our hands on a Trek Remedy for a proper review.

We got our hands on a 2019 Trek Remedy and have all the dirt you need to know about the new bike! Trek shows it's possible to make a good thing better.

Jan 2018 · Alan Muldoon

We’ve been impressed by the sensitivity of Trek’s RE:aktiv dampers from RockShox and Fox, but the Trek Remedy brings sensitivity to another level.

The price of this bike has only gone up by £200 in five years, yet it’s a vastly superior ride. Great small bump sensitivity with the RE:aktiv damper Thru Shaft shock.

Unproven reliability of the Thru Shaft damper design.

Trek went deep for 2017 and launched all new models of their Fuel EX, Remedy, and Slash platforms. At their launch event last year in Squamish we were introduced to and rode the first two, but only got a sneak peek of the Slash as its announcement followed about a month later. Go here for a full run down on spec, geo, pricing, and my early ride impressions of the Fuel EX and Remedy, and you can read Perry's Slash review here. The reason I'm starting this Remedy review with all of that info is because Trek didn't just release new versions of those bikes, they also changed the way the lineup looked:

Apr 2017 · Rob Weaver

It’s engaging, lively ride makes even the dullest trails fun to ride. Trek has done a sterling job with just about every element of this bike though I'd have preferred the Solo Air rather than Dual Position Lyrik up front. Buy if you’re looking for a great all rounder that will put a smile on your face no matter what trail you’re riding

Good angles and proportions with usable geometry adjustment

Very supple and active rear suspension tracks the terrain well

Solid, very cohesive spec

Great build quality with some nice, well-considered details

Pre-Brexit price hike adds another £200 to the original retail price

Dual Position Air fork needs more air pressure to keep it properly supported when pushing hard

I must admit I wasn’t super excited to hear there was a Trek Remedy waiting for me to test ride during Crankworx, as the plan was to spend the day in the Whistler Bike Park. If we were hitting the trails I would have been thrilled, but before I actually saw the new bike I …
