Thinking of getting the 2018 9.8 to replace my 2015 Trance. Anyone on here have one and what's there real world thoughts?
Want to do a few Enduro races next year and think it might be a bit much for the Trance.
OH has the 2017 9.9. He sold his 2016 Nomad shortly after he got it as he said that the Remedy is just a really awesome bike that can do everything really well. His normal riding is the golfie tweed valley type stuff. He absolutely raves about it and cant fault it at all. He was firmly a Santa Cruz rider before that.
The knock block system is a stupid design. They break really easily if you have an off and your bars spin. Trek will warranty it for some people and not others. They aren't expensive to replace, but you have to go through the hassle of getting your Trek dealer to order one and waiting for Trek to send it out. Otherwise it's a good bike. If I knew the knock block was so flimsy I would probably have gone for another bike.
Thanks for the replies. The knock block is what's putting me off the bike.
