Our first gear review here at Charge The Summit is of the 2014 Trek Remedy 9 mountain bike. What a fantastic machine this is!
Check out the video for an overview. I talk a little about why I went with the 29’er version and my experience riding a Trek Remedy 7 with the 27.5 wheel size. I also go in depth on Fox’s DRCV rear suspension system. [For you technical types, the specs are posted below.]
