You’re looking at the United Kingdom / English Trek Bicycle website. Don’t worry. We’ve all taken a wrong turn before. View your country/region's Trek Bicycle website here.
You want a bike that can go way off the beaten track, even when it means encountering mud, sand and snow. You like the lightweight benefits of carbon fibre, and want a bike that feels nimble, even with its gargantuan tyres.
The tech you get
A lightweight OCLV carbon fibre frame and fork with added rack and cage mounts for carrying gear. Huge 4.5-inch tyres that float over sand and snow. A 130 mm TranzX dropper post lets you move around on the bike and get behind the saddle when things get steep. SRAM's workhorse 12-speed GX Eagle drivetrain that can handle shifting and braking, even when conditions are cold and icy. Internal cable routing that keeps cables protected from the elements while looking sleek. Plus, adjustable horizontal sliding dropouts.
The final word
The Farley 9.6 is the go-to for cutting loose when conditions keep most riders indoors. Its carbon fibre frame with internal cable routing is as sleek as it is light, and massive tyre clearance for 4.5-inch tyres helps you stay afloat through mud and snow. When you want to ride way, way out you'll appreciate its extra cage mounts on the fork for loading up plenty of gear.

Trek's mountain-specific carbon fibre is tougher carbon, with unique materials and lay-up procedures, Trek's advanced engineering, and a higher standard of testing.
27.5″ fat tyres give you the best combo of all-terrain grip, stability, flotation and fast-rolling speed
Adventure-ready fork
Farley's new, short-offset OCLV carbon fork puts you in an optimal position over the front wheel, upping traction over sketchy terrain while allowing for a shorter stem. A customised rack mount on the crown and thoughtfully positioned triple bottle bosses (64 mm spacing) on the lower legs let you gear up without sacrificing handling. Protective rubber bumpers on the bottom of the fork legs keep the Farley upright and manageable when the front wheel needs to come off.
Haul of the wild
Mounts all over the frame let you carry a wide variety of gear with endless customisation options. Gummy bears? Extra layers? Camping gear? Haul it all.
Keep it clean
Internal routing helps to protect Farley's components from the elements and makes it easy to mount gear
Rapid Drive 108 rear hub
With 108 points of engagement, Rapid Drive gives you nearly instant acceleration instead of a clunky lag when you step on the pedals. You get smooth, immediate power to blast out of corners and hammer through the rough stuff. And that extra pedal ratchet adds control that can make all the difference when tackling a tricky climb.
Trail-ready gear
Deck out your Farley Carbon with our favourite compatible accessories
Pedals are two of the five touchpoints that connect you with your bike, and even though this bike comes with a pair, upgrading to pedals that boost control and grip will greatly improve your ride. See the pedal guide and find the best pedals for your riding style. We recommend flat pedals for simple versatility.
Use the remote lever to lower your saddle so it's out of your way when you're descending and cornering.
Tubeless Ready wheels and tyres
Tubeless Ready rims and tyres make it easy to ditch the tubes so you get better traction, fewer flats and less weight. Just add TLR rim strips, valves and sealant.
The horizontal sliding dropout with redundant securing mechanisms allows for no-slip single-speed or geared options and provides the ability to dial in the geometry to match each rider’s style.

How tall are you?
To measure your height, stand up straight, barefoot, with your back, heels, shoulders and head all touching a wall. While looking straight ahead, place a book or straight edge on your head and slowly push it against the wall. Your straight edge should be parallel with the floor. Mark the spot where the bottom of the book is touching the wall. The distance from the marked spot to the floor is your height.
What is your inside leg?
How to measure: Stand barefoot with your back straight and against a wall. Tuck a ruler or something that extends to the floor between your legs. Using both hands, and keeping it level, pull the ruler up into your crotch as if you were sitting on the saddle. Measure the distance from the top edge of the ruler to the ground to find your inside leg measurement. Your inside leg is very important to your final bike size so please measure carefully.
