Trek Procaliber Trail Review | XC Carbon Hardtail

This is an overview of the trail performance of my 2022 Trek Procaliber 9.5 over a summer of trail riding. I was able to ride some mid west trails in Ohio, which included much more moisture, roots, and close proximity to trees as obstacles than I am used to here in my local Colorado trails, which are much faster and dryer. The bike still really impressed me despite the stock spec. If you want a deep dive on the spec of the bike, my initial impressions, or how it compares directly to the Canyon Exceed in similar spec, check out the videos linked below.

Great video ! Fun to watch !! Thanks for posting.

[@DanielPrzygoda1]

Cool Review. Your video helped me by my decision finding a right bike. Now I have a 2023 Caliber 9.6 and I am so happy about it ✌️🤩

[@thomashospodar9808]

That was a really good and interesting video great info keep them coming

[@madcapper6]

Didn't know until

[@bobbyjoesugar]

Love this bike- it’s got everything I need for my style of riding

[@johnmarkwilliams2599]

First class review. Clear, concise, yet comprehensive - thank you 👍

[@DirtEveryWeekend]

Great Video! I do want to see that bike shred with some good tires and fork upgrade for sure. Maybe it will be ready for Badlands trip in the near future 😉. it was Suckfest that Day at West Branch I have run that Rock Garden Black Diamond with virtually no issues on the Surly Wednesday in the Fall when it was cooler and very dry

[@sherryhospodar2401]

Beautiful picture , great riding , great video 👍👏

[@DamianNocun]

This is a great bike, I upgraded mine with complete Shimano Deore XT group set and SID SL 35 120mm fork, Bike is riding smoothly and is very stable. Frame looks amazing.

[@osafoca]

Thanks for the video. Love my procal 9.7, however I'll be adding a dropper post to it for the more techy and downhill sections.

[@eliongkokoli1602]

Amazing bike! It is in between a full sus and hardtail mtb! You get a little both of each which is fantastic!

[@muster442]

grazie del video , ho appena comprato questa bike , prima avevo una nuova marlin 6 che ho tenuto solo 5 mesi , ma la trek procaliber 9,5 in carbonio è un altra cosa, io la trovo fantastica , rispetto al marlin 6 faccio molto meno fatica e vado più veloce , il cambio a 12 velocità e fantastico , anche la posizione di guida e molto comoda , la guida e più aggressiva .

[@RolexDanny]

I just bought a Marlin 8 Friday but I think im going to take it back and get this. I should have gone with this

[@theanimaster]

I love my 9.6 ProCaliber - but I’ve upgraded it so much, it would have been better to have just gotten the 9.5. I went full carbon on the wheels and seat+seat post - the only thing left is to upgrade the shocks to something lighter. At this point I’ve already spent more than the cost of the bike itself in upgrades.

[@user-je5ww4nu2b]

Is this 9.5 a good choice? thank you for your sharing

[@ladislavpavelka447]

Hello, I am thinking about the new SID Ultimate Race Day 120 mm version. Legs 35mm. When will the Trek procaliber have this fork?
