Jumping on a new bike and riding hard on very foreign trails is always a challenge when trying to get a feel for any new bike, but I found the 88 to be a confidence inspiring machine. So how did the bike ride? I was very impressed, especially considering the demanding and unfamiliar terrain. ![]() Can a bike be considered hot? Apparently so. You'd be mistaken if you thought that the bike has a matte gray finish to it, it's actually bare brushed aluminum with red and white highlights and finished off with a protective clear-coat. All the new frame and shock changes are great, but I know some of you are still staring at the new bike's graphics instead of reading these words. That's all well and good, but you tech heads out there may be most interested in the very special tuning that has been done to the Fox DHX RC4's insides, which you can read and hear more about down below. Trek has employed a brand new large diameter downtube that has a much taller (and more aerodynamic) cross section, a lighter toptube and seattube, new box section stays that give added tire clearance, and even some very clean looking integrated fork bumpers. While the 88's lines look very similar to previous year's offerings, there are many big changes that have been made in the name of all out speed and control. ![]() Do bikes get any more stunning than this looker? This is Trek's 2011 Session 88, a machine that apparently has no qualms about both looking great and being fast as hell.
