🚵♂️ Bike Check — Trek Session 8 2025 🛠️
New season — new bike.
Already racing on it — and I’m seriously loving this machine. The suspension feels insane: incredible grip, smooth landings on jumps, and fast rolling speed. Still fine-tuning the setup, adjusting it on the go between races, finding that sweet spot between stability and responsiveness.
🔹 Frame: Trek Session 8 2025 (adjustable progression 20/25%)
🔹 Fork: RockShox BoXXer Base 2025, 450 lb/in spring (sag ~21%)
🔹 Shock: Swapped stock Marzocchi Bomber (400 spring) for RockShox Vivid, also 400 spring (sag ~26%)
🔹 Wheels: Front — DT Swiss FR541 / Industry Nine Hydra
Rear — DT Swiss FR560 / CushCore front and rear
🔹 Tires: Maxxis Assegai front, Maxxis DHR2 rear
Pressure: ~1.70 bar front / ~1.75 bar rear
🔹 Brakes: SRAM Code RSC
🔹 Drivetrain: SRAM X01 DH (7-speed)
🔹 Cockpit: Renthal 35mm bar, Bontrager stem, Kona One Key grips, DMR pedals
📏 Weight: ~17 kg
⚙️ Running 20% progression for now — still testing what holds better in the rough.
The bike’s feeling better every ride — confident in the corners, playful in the air, and fast on the pedals. Can’t wait to keep pushing it.
📸 Huge thanks to @_alexbowen for the sick photos! 🙌🔥
Let me know your thoughts on the setup / progression / suspension feel — always down to geek out on bike tech 🤘
