Trek Remedy 7 review

Big capability trail bike

Guy Kesteven

Trek took the 160mm (6.3in) travel fork off the Remedy and we thought it was a real backward step, but now their Scratch bikes have taken over bigger-hit duties, the Remedy’s tough trail bike intentions are much better defined.

Even this entry-level model is a proper do-it-all option for new dabblers or dynamic riders alike.

Ride & Handling: Stiff frame, excellent tracking and feedback

The DRCV shock uses two inline air spring chambers, operating automatically in sequence in response to impact size. What that means in ride terms is a relatively tight, very pedal-friendly feel as you sit on the first, progressive feeling air chamber over small bumps.

Start hitting choppier, lumpier terrain though and a simple pushrod inside opens the second chamber to provide the deeper phase of travel. The chambers open and shut at an exactly matched pressure, so transfer between them is seamless and the overall control of the two chambers is superb. The fact that the bottom of the Free Floater swingarm-mounted shock moves down as the top is compressed also has a big effect on the overall feel.

Specifically there’s a much more controlled and predictable feel in the 25 to 75 per cent stroke range compared to single large volume cans, which often rush through the mid-stroke using travel for travel’s sake. There’s no need to run extra low-speed compression for pert pedalling feel either and once you’ve set pressures (using the handy clip-on sag indicator) the ProPedal lever is pretty much redundant for anything but fireroad sprints.

The rest of the handling is equally forgettable in a totally sorted way. We tested this bike with a wide range of riders from XC hardtail fans to Enduro DH podium racers and all of them came back full of praise. The longer stem and narrower bars combine with a relatively steep head angle to create a more trail rather than DH feel.

Progressive riders should therefore definitely think about upgrading to a short stem/wide bar cockpit. Having said that, it never let steep, rutted technical singletrack get the better of it when we raced it at Innerleithen. Even when we were braking and cornering hard enough to really feel the extended travel Fox fork twist and twang and the tyres slide in and out of traction over wet roots, the overall balance and high frame stiffness meant we never totally lost control.

The longer reach and less wander-prone handling also give it more balanced climbing manners, particularly on really steep, techy stuff. While it’s not light, the position and shock feel let it cover ground and gain height better than we expected.

Frame & Equipment: Stiff frame with cost conscious but still decent kit

Trek were one of the first companies to use a tapered front end, and the angular E2 tapered head tube is still an obvious feature.

The shared seam between the big truncated triangle down tube and steeply sloped hexagonal top tube, and a small gusset ahead of the seat tube, adds extra strength. It’s not a hollow axle rear end, but the single-piece EVO linkage and long ABP skewer works really well to lock down rotational rear wheel stiffness, and mud clearance is OK even with the 2.4in tyre.

Sandwiching the unique DRCV shock between the linkage and forward extensions of the swingarm – rather than anchoring it on the mainframe – means there’s room for a water bottle. The bottom bracket has mounts for an ISCG chain keeper and the fat down tube does a good job of acting like a Crud Catcher as well.

The seatpost needs cutting down if you want to get the seat really low though and there are no remote cable tabs if you upgrade to a remote post.

This is one of the cheaper bikes here, so Trek have had to cut some kit corners, but they’ve made sure it’s nothing that short changes the rider. The Avid Elixir 3 brakes are actually more predictable and reliable than their more expensive brethren once you’ve swapped to sintered pads. The open bath damped Fox forks are slightly heavier, but smoother over the small stuff than the more expensive FIT versions.

The SRAM X.7 gear all works fine too as long as you keep the cables clean, and the triple chainset syncs with the all-rounder ability of the bike. The longer stem and narrow bars create a more XC feel than the other bikes here too. The Bontrager tyres are relatively fast-rolling too, although broad rims give them a vast volume, and they’re tubeless compatible for low pressure running.

The really important component is the DRCV shock though. Not only does it use two inline air spring chambers, the side-mounted design squeezes a 220mm shock into a 200mm eye-to-eye length. The DRCV shock in Full Floater mount feels great.

Our in depth review of the Trek Remedy 9.7 long travel trail bike. At £2700, the 9.7 sits in the Remedy range just above the entry level Remedy 7.

Sublime rear suspension performance.

Adjustable geometry to further extend the Remedy's repertoire.

Build spec lacks any standout items but is solid and reliable.

The Yari fork simply cannot compete with the suppleness of the rear.

Trek went deep for 2017 and launched all new models of their Fuel EX, Remedy, and Slash platforms. At their launch event last year in Squamish we were introduced to and rode the first two, but only got a sneak peek of the Slash as its announcement followed about a month later. Go here for a full run down on spec, geo, pricing, and my early ride impressions of the Fuel EX and Remedy, and you can read Perry's Slash review here. The reason I'm starting this Remedy review with all of that info is because Trek didn't just release new versions of those bikes, they also changed the way the lineup looked:

Apr 2017 · Rob Weaver

It’s engaging, lively ride makes even the dullest trails fun to ride. Trek has done a sterling job with just about every element of this bike though I'd have preferred the Solo Air rather than Dual Position Lyrik up front. Buy if you’re looking for a great all rounder that will put a smile on your face no matter what trail you’re riding

Good angles and proportions with usable geometry adjustment

Very supple and active rear suspension tracks the terrain well

Solid, very cohesive spec

Great build quality with some nice, well-considered details

Pre-Brexit price hike adds another £200 to the original retail price

Dual Position Air fork needs more air pressure to keep it properly supported when pushing hard

The Trek Remedy Women's is part uphill cruiser, all downhill crusher.

Upgrading Rear Shock on Trek Remedy Compatibility

• Add to quote

Hey guys I was looking into upgrading my rear shock on my 2010 Trek Remedy 9.9 to the new Fox Float X2 and was told by FOX that even though the measured stock shock I want to replace is a 7.875x2.25 and they make that in both the Float X and the Float X2. They said that the Remedy has a proprietary eye to eye length and that nothing on the aftermarket would fit this bike. Is this true? Thanks  

It's not the eye-to-eye it's that those DRCV shocks don't have a normal eyelet at the top thanks to the secondary air chamber and valving. I think the only shock that might fit is the Trek-specific Monarch RT3: First Look: RockShox Monarchs now available for Trek and Specialized bikes - Mtbr.com  

Thanks for the help. I found a thread where people were changing out the DRCV shock for a coil with a reducer kit and some other parts. Shouldnt this work with any shock thats the correct size even with the different eyelet at the top? Trek Remedy rear DRCV shock « Singletrack Forum  

There is a thread on my mtbr that details the conversion. I installed a 7.875 x 2.25 CCDB coil on my 2010 Remedy 8. I had to change the upper bearings to 8mm ID, run a thru bolt and fit a longer three piece reducer hardware.  

I recently swap the DRCV to a monarch plus. I recommend offset bushings for the parts  

So are you using a 7.875 shock in the 7.75 e2e of the remedy? What will the offset bushings do for me? Thanks  

http://forums.mtbr.com/trek/diy-trek-remedy-10-11-drcv-coil-conversion-719504.html  

So you think this should work the same way for the Float X2?  

CHINOTAKER said: I got the bolt and nut from pro bolt. They are solid steel a bit heavy but I don't care (don't be a ***** we are talking about grams here) you will also need washers for the top where the bolt and nut meets the bearing but not essential. In my later search I found trek aluminium bolts you can use. Just an advice if you buy from pro bolt, get the lower bolt as well the original I have from Trek is aluminium and I don't think it will last for ever because the aluminium is very soft and every time you torque it gets scary and scarier here some pics the DRCV at the bottom with all it's original hardware. KEEP the 2 black spacers for the top because you will need them. You can reuse the lower hardware too but if you are going to do this maybe get new ones the monarch plus with offset bushings and pro bolt bolt. If I could do this again I would ask for 38.8 mm lower bushing for the bottom because I ask for 40 mm bushing and is pretty tight but doable and now it squeal a bit. The people from offset bushings are pretty cool just email them and ask exactly what you need I think they cut them on demand. They even manage to offset the top bushing (10M) by a little bit clearance of the piggy bag of the Rock Shox Monarch plus in the Trek Remedy 8 26er. My frame is SMALL by the way I would asume it will fit any remedy frame size Click to expand...

Where can you get the aluminum trek bolt from?  

It was a google binge in the middle of the night but it started with one conversion bolt they make especially for the slash, then with the dimensions I know I needed I kept searching. I know is vague but I was drunk  

This is a very interesting thread. I have a '14 Remedy 9. The rear suspension seems super-duper plush to me as is. It takes drops/jumps in stride. Was the change over to a different shock worth the effort?

Ok I've had my local bike shop on this also and they talked to fox. Fox told them I would need this Fox mounting kit (803-03-189) in 8mm to fit it up top. Doesn't the top of the remedy have 10mm inner diameter bearings up top? How would a 8mm kit work? Also wouldn't I still have the 3mm difference? Fox Shox Polymer Du Bushing Reducer Kit > Components > Forks & Suspension > Service Kits & Parts | Jenson USA Thanks  

the top is 10m for sure. I remember in my research a lot of people used 8m bolt at the top but had to change the bearings to fit 8m. This is just my opinion but I didn't want to change the bearing in case the new shock fail I can still use the old DRCV  

bmwzimmer said: Was able to install a 2016 RS Lyric dual position 160/130 RC3 and Monarch RC3. Purposely didn't use any offset bolt/bushing on the Monarch to slacken the bike slightly to better balance it for the 20mm taller front end. No interference issues between the shock, seat tube and Evo Link. Geometry feels great now. Was running the new fork with the stock Reaktiv shock 197x57 (7.75x2.25) and it felt too slack which is ok for descents but not great for the climbs or handling. The Monarch at 200x57 raises the back end by 7.4mm (2.46 leverage ratio x 3). Shock is the ML tune (Medium Damping / Low Compression Tune) which is better for the leverage ratio of the bike. https://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/s...19-bronson-monarch-rc3-plus-rs-comp-chart.jpg Pedaling while standing up (in the climb position) is better than the Reaktiv shock (less bobbing) however sitting down and pedaling, the Reaktiv shock is slightly more efficient (less bobbing). But the descents is a different story. The Monarch is so much plusher/nicer. 18.5" Frame Weight as shown with the Lyric/Monarch Plus Combo with 2.5" Minion DHF/2.4" XR4 tires and XTR pedals is ~ 28.8lbs View attachment 1130238 View attachment 1130239 Click to expand...

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
