In the meantime…here are more high quality pictures of the new Session 88 from Trek Bikes than you will see anywhere else on the web. It’s time to see if this full floater, active braking pivot with a solid EVO link is ready for the DH/FR crowd…and if all of the preliminary reports on these new sleds from Trek Bikes are true…this should be a fun test period… For those of you that are already on previous generation Session 77’s…we will be comparing the two back to back as well. It will see everything from freeride drops to downhill races in the quest to find the bikes limits. Over the next 5 weeks, the Mountain Biking by 198 crew is going to put this new freeride sled from Trek Bikes through some serious abuse. Round the kit out with a Fox Racing DHX 5.0 coil shock and a RockShox Totem coil fork and you are left with a 39.50 lbs (light for a FR bike) freeride rig that is ready for big hit madness. The Session comes kitted with the new Shimano Saint groupo and Bontrager Big Earl components. At an MSRP of 6,049.99, you would expect the industry has to offer in range of components. Just like any Trek frame, the Session 88 FR build kit comes in custom color coded for Trek’s needs. The subtle graphics combined with the high quality welds and tubing make for a bike that is very well put together. Out of the box, the new Trek Session 88 FR is a beautiful bike.

The other version of the Session…the Session 88 DH…comes better equipped for full on DH race duty. The Session 88 FR is one of two new bikes in the FR/DH market from Trek Bikes. Within this large container is one of Trek’s completely designed rigs…the Session 88 FR. On Thursday of last week, I came home to find a beautiful brown box on my doorstep. With the introduction of the Active braking Pivot, EVO link, Full Floater linkage and E2 headtube, the new bikes out of the Trek Bikes stable bring more competition to the high end cross country, all mountain, freeride and downhill segments. For 2009, Trek Bikes completely redesigned their full suspension mountain bike lineup.
