Raised on Rocket Science
The path to superior performance is paved with curiosity. In 1976, Trek was founded on a question: Why are no high-performance bikes made in the United States? Today, Trek gives the brightest and most passionate cycling designers and researchers the resources to question everything. Because innovation happens only when you have the courage to ask the hard questions and go where no one has gone before. To lead, you must invent.

OCLV CarbonIn 1992, Trek introduced an entirely new revolution to the world of cycling. There are lots of carbon bikes, but only one OCLV. | Alpha AluminumMore than three decades have passed since our first aluminium bike rolled off the line. Since then, we've completely redefined the idea of aluminium bikes. |

Active Braking PivotBefore Trek's patented ABP, active rear suspension during braking was thought to be a myth. After ABP: greater control and a better world for mountain bikes. | RE:aktivBorn from the world of automotive racing, RE:aktiv is a totally new way of thinking about rear suspension. In the end it means better flow and a better ride. |
| Full FloaterA shock that floats is one that can be dialled in to meet any rider's needs. A suspension for every trail? Brilliant!. |
IsoSpeed
Performance under pressure shouldn’t come at the cost of your comfort. That’s why we created IsoSpeed – a fatigue-diminishing comfort technology that lets your bike flex with the road, so that you don’t have to. It’s engineered to soak up chatter from rough rides while maintaining responsive handling, so you get better performance without any compromises.
IsoFlow
Trek-exclusive IsoFlow technology flexes over bumps in the road to provide a smoother ride, improves aerodynamics and shaves weight to save precious seconds in the saddle. We refined our race-focused comfort tech to be lighter and more comfortable with 80% more vertical compliance than the previous version.
Aerodynamics
When the margin of victory is measured in thousandths of a second, every inch, every gram, every angle matters. In the effort to move an object through air in the most efficient manner possible, Trek engineers dream, draw, build, test, and repeat. The countless hours of development and work are paid in the raised arms of thousands of athletes the world over grateful to have met their challenge. It is unspoken but in every age-group triathlon, every World Tour Time Trial, every coffee ride sprint finish, the work of Trek's Analysis Team plays a role.
