Trek MTB - for a mountain bike you can trust anywhere
Engineered for everywhere
You may ask yourself – “How can a middle-of-nowhere Wisconsin bike company know what goes into the best mountain bikes?” The truth is, we’re not all based in the Barn. Trek mountain bikes are a product of brilliant minds across the United States and around the world. Our global team of passionate riders research, test, and ride the hell out of Trek bikes on trails from the backwoods loam of North Coast, BC to the hairiest alpine descents in Switzerland. From world class athletes to average Joes, XC speed machines to e-MTB adventurers, we wrangle in feedback from all kinds of riders, so we can make the best bikes for you.
Let’s talk development
There’s a lot that goes into a mountain bike, and the greatest bikes don’t leave anything up to guesswork. We spend countless hours obsessing over every geometry tweak, linkage design, component, and far beyond, running every element through rigorous testing, so you can have a ride that’s designed with absolute intention. No shortcuts. No half-assery. Just mountains of research, development, and so much testing that we raise the standards for the entire bike industry along with us.
Trek Netherlands e-MTB Development Team
For seamless collaboration with e-system creators Bosch and TQ, our e-MTB development team takes charge in the Netherlands, keeping Trek at the front of e-bike technology.
The Trek Colorado Crew
Tucked into the San Juan mountains, MTB Hall of Fame legend, Travis Brown, along with Trek MTB Frame Engineer, A-Mart, and a crew of motley rippers routinely put our products – and themselves – to grueling tests in the highest reaches of the Rockies.
Endless riders around the world
Across the globe, our massive network of trusted Trek testers rip, repeat, and report back on how tomorrow’s bike performs in demanding locales from the wet and wild UK to the staggeringly steep Alps and iconic forests of British Columbia.
Back at the barn
Our development team collects all the data, ride reports, and a wealth of global mountain biking data back in Waterloo, WI, where it’s factored into extensive testing and analysis until we’re sure we’ve nailed the favorite bike of the future.
The tech of the best
Since the first clunkers careened down a mountainside in Marin County, California, our hearts have beat to the rhythm of the trail. Over the years, Trek has influenced tech that’s defined what mountain bikes have become. From our first mountain bike in 1983 to Boost spacing, 29ers, OCLV Carbon, and ABP, we’ve kept our finger on the pulse of innovation and we’ve never stopped striving to make mountain bikes – and the trail –better for everyone.
