Trek 8000 (SG) review

Trek make two ZR9000 aluminium framed hardtails that cost more than this: the 8500 at £1,400 and the 8900 at £2,000. They use the same frame as the 8000 and, as complete bikes, are only slightly lighter.

trek 8900 review

Trek make two ZR9000 aluminium framed hardtails that cost more than this: the 8500 at £1,400 and the 8900 at £2,000. They use the same frame as the 8000 and, as complete bikes, are only slightly lighter. For significant further weight saving you'd need to look at the 9.8, an OCLV carbon-framed offering at £2,400. The carbon frame alone costs the same as this bike. In other words, if you're after a light and lively Trek XC bike, the 'Rage Red' 8000 looks like the obvious 'sensible budget' choice.

The chassis

Like so many other brands, Trek haven't been shouting about their aluminium hardtails for a while now. But while the marketing effort has been going into the full sussers, the top end hardtails have been quietly reaping the rewards from a new generation of suspension forks and components.

Trek's ZR9000 custom-butted alloy tubes build into a strong, light and seriously decent frame, certainly worthy of a bike at this price. The down tube is bi-axially ovalised for maximum lateral stiffness and weld strength at the head tube and bottom bracket, a nicely executed gusset behind the reinforced head tube adds extra impact resistance, and the top tube is slightly sloped for generous standover room. There's loads of tyre room between the chainstays and wishbone seatstays, the cable and hose routing is tidy and the clean look is emphasised by a lack of cantilever brake bosses on the frame or the fork.

The RockShox Reba SL 80mm (3in) travel air fork has a compression lockout leg-top dial but comes without the Motion Control thumbshifter. It's still easy enough to flick the lockout lever as you're riding, though. The rebound damping is effective and the ride is great from the off.

The 8000's drivetrain features a superstiff Shimano Deore LX hollow-axled crankset with outboard bearings, an XT rear mech and LX front mech, Dual Control shifters (you shift gear by flicking the brake lever up or down) and hydraulic disc brakes. Dual Control shifters are becoming more popular, but it does take a few rides to adapt. The only problem we had with the gears was occasional chain slippage under power on the middle ring of the LX cranks; we've experienced this before and we still can't work out what causes it, but it only seems to happen on Shimano's steel middle rings when they're new.

The Bontrager Select wheelset is strong and reasonably light by disc wheel standards. The Bontrager Jones 2.2in treads are fairly light too; they're very grippy in most conditions and they have big air volume that adds a lot of comfort and confidence to the ride. The minimalist Bonty Race saddle is far more comfy than it looks but the seatpost kept slipping down in the frame, even with the quick-release clamp done up so tight that the bolt started to bend. This isn't the first time we've had this problem with Trek frames; it seems the seat tube is slightly oversized rather than the post being undersized.

The 600mm (23.5in) Bontrager flat bar has a pleasing back-sweep and there's a stack of steerer washers for height adjustments. The stem and the skinny but comfy grips are ideal for a race-ready bike, and clipless Shimano pedals are included.

Superficially, there may not appear to be much that separates the Trek from other conventional XC hardtails. The education starts if you ride an 11kg (24lb) hardtail like this directly after one that costs just over half as much and weighs over 1kg (2.2lb) more. You start to notice a few things.

The speed advantage is only slight and is most noticeable while climbing and accelerating, but there's a lot of other stuff going on here that makes the 8000 earn its price tag. For a start, the fork is far better controlled under pressure than other bikes in this market segment. This, combined with the sprightly ride that light bikes typically produce, adds considerably to your confidence when riding hard and fast through bumpy terrain. The big, grippy Bontrager treads help here too. Many XC speed demons still think skinny treads are the way to go, but big-volume treads that roll fast and grip well are a much better short cut to confident speed.

The long top tube of the Trek creates a speed-efficient riding position, and a fairly steep seat angle sits you far enough forward to get the best out of a very good fork. This, combined with incredibly stable handling, results in a bike that simply feels planted in all situations. The confidence that this produces conspires with the bike's low 11kg weight to make you realise it's worth the money.

Nice one, love the build for not being so "correct". Those brakelevers are really nice, never had them myself to test how they brake compared to the regular Shimano stuff. Have fun! Cheers Martin

The Trek 4900 also has fender mounts, making it a great choice for commuters who want to ride to work even in wet conditions. The bike is designed to handle all types of terrain, from rocky trails to smooth pavement.

The Bontrager SSR rims of the Trek 4900 are also designed to withstand the toughest trails. The rims are strong and durable, ensuring they can handle even the most demanding rides.

Frame and Design

The Trek 4900 is built with an aluminum frame that is both durable and lightweight. The frame is designed to handle the rigors of off-road riding and is equipped with forged dropouts that provide additional strength and stability. The oversized alpha top tube adds to the durability of the frame and helps to reduce flexing during hard rides.

The frame of the Trek 4900 is designed to be lightweight without sacrificing strength. This makes it easier to handle and maneuver on the trail. The mono-stay seat stay design helps to reduce weight and provides additional clearance for larger tires.

The Trek 4900 frame is also designed with a sleek and modern look. The lightweight frame is complemented by various lightweight components, including the suspension fork, wheels, and drivetrain. This helps to keep the overall weight of the bike down, making it easier to handle and maneuver on the trail.

Fork and Suspension

The Trek 4900 bike comes with a Suntour fork that has a remote lockout feature. This means that you can lock the fork from the handlebars, which is a useful feature when you are climbing. The lockout feature makes the fork rigid, which helps to transfer more power to the pedals.

The fork on the Trek 4900 is semi-integrated, meaning it is not a full-suspension fork. It has a single coil spring with magnesium lowers. The fork has hydra-coil damping, which provides a smooth ride.

The suspension on the Trek 4900 is adequate for most riders. It’s not a full-suspension bike, but the fork does a good job of absorbing bumps on the trail. Overall, the fork and suspension on the Trek 4900 are well-suited for cross-country riding.

Wheels and Tires

The Trek 4900 comes with Bontrager Ranger alloy rims or Bontrager SSR wheels and tires, depending on the version. The wheels are made of aluminum and are durable enough to handle rough terrain. They’re also lightweight, which makes the bike easier to handle and maneuver.

The tires of the 2006 version are 26 inches in diameter and have a width of 2.2 inches. They provide good traction on most surfaces, including loose gravel and dirt. The tread pattern offers a good balance of grip and rolling resistance, making the bike efficient on both climbs and descents.

One thing to note is that the tires are not tubeless-ready, so you’ll need to use inner tubes. This is not a big deal, but it does mean that you will need to carry a spare tube with you in case of a flat.

Riding Experience

When it comes to riding experience, the Trek 4900 is a solid choice for both casual and experienced riders alike. The bike is designed to handle the most rugged trails, making it a great option for those who want to take on challenging terrain.

The Trek 4900 is also a great option for cross-country riding, as it is lightweight and easy to maneuver. The bike's geometry is designed to provide a comfortable and efficient riding position, which is great for longer rides.

Drivetrain and Gears

When it comes to the drivetrain and gears on the Trek 4900, you'll find a reliable setup that can handle a variety of terrain.

This bike comes equipped with a Shimano Deore rear derailleur, which is known for its smooth shifting and durability. This component helps ensure that you can easily shift gears as you climb hills or pick up speed on flat sections of the trail.

The rear derailleur is just one part of the bike's overall drivetrain, which includes the chain, cassette, and front derailleur. Together, these components work to transfer power from your pedals to the rear wheel, propelling you forward.

The Trek 4900 does not disappoint when it comes to its stopping power. Equipped with hydraulic disc brakes, you can stop on a dime, even when going downhill at high speeds.

The disc brakes provide more consistent stopping power than traditional rim brakes, making it easier to control your speed and avoid accidents.

If you're a rider who loves to have fun and push your limits, the Trek 4900's brakes will give you the confidence to do so. You won't have to worry about your brakes failing you when you need them the most, which can make all the difference when riding in tough terrain or country mountains.

  • Strong, durable aluminum frame that can handle rough trails and jumps.
  • The frame is also lightweight, making it easier to maneuver and control the bike.
  • Smooth and precise shifting
  • Powerful brakes
  • The suspension fork absorbs bumps and vibrations, providing a smoother ride.
  • 26-inch versatile tires that are suitable for a wide range of terrains.

    THe bike also has good components but I had a XTR shifter set and front derailur so I put them on. Also I put on so cool answer carbon fiber bars and a titac stem. The icon stuff looks stupid. I paid $1300 (employee purchase) but even at retail of $2199 its a steal. [Mar 19, 1998] John.

    09-14-21 08:46 PM. Legendary bikes. I've never seen a joint failure in a bonded Trek. Even the epically bad 9000 full suspension frames, AKA "the worst full suspension mountain bike ever made, or, as me and my buddies who owned them called them, "The Pogo Stick," were utterly unkillable. I had a buddy who rode one as his everyday commuter, plus ...

  9. 1990 Trek 8900 Composite

    Retro Guru. Recently picked up this 1990 Trek 8900 Composite as a frameset. I had previously owned an 8300 composite which I sold recently, telling myself i would replace it with a neon Trek Composite if the chance ever came up. The frame is carbon main tubes bonded to aluminum lugs and stays. The ride is very nice.. almost "bouncy" in a way.

  10. Trek 8900 SL Bike 1998 or Older user reviews : 3.9 out of 5

    The light weight (24lbs) was quick and responsive and climbed like a Mt. goat, resulting in a trip to the podium. The 1998 Trek 8900 is a BEST BUY. This bike includes top of the line suspension (SID), brakes (Hayes. Disc) and an XT/XTR shifting group on a super light weight aluminum hardtail frame.

    D=0&ID=226. I think the Frame is the same, with the Geometry like 1999! I will also ride the new Trek 8900 in 2006. I dont know the real Weight for this Frame, but the Bontrager Race Lite Wheelset is toooo much to heavy for this excellent Bike! The technical Specs of the 8900 in 2006 like the same from the 8500 in 2005!

  16. Trek 800 Review: Is It a Good Bike or Waste of Money? (2024)

    The Trek 800 was equipped with 26-inch wheels, which are nimble and allow for quick acceleration but are not as fast, stable, or comfortable as 27.5 or 29-inch wheels. In today's market, it's rare to find adult mountain bikes with 26-inch wheels. They are primarily used for kids' mountain bikes and dirt bikes.
