Trek ABP - Active Braking Pivot

Other suspension systems firm up under braking. Active Braking Pivot (ABP) allows your suspension to remain active, whether you're pedaling, coasting or braking.

This means your bike performs as it was intended, all the time.

The transaction to full-sus for me was smooth and clean. :) I'm a full-sus whore, now. :P

If it was down to rear-sus design, I'd go for Trek's Full-Float and ABP systems. All the way down the line, its effective and works very well. From the Remedy to the Session 88, its tried, tested and glorious. :)

So if it was for that, I'd say the Trek again. I don't know much about the sus on the Scott as I've only ridden it once, but it felt solid, chewy and it was adjustable. So, meh? :)

haha thx, that was quick^^

ill stick to Trek or Scott, as my fav dealer/ mechanic mainly sells those. even though some specialized look very good indeed.

So far I've been a hard tail fan boy, so I'm overcautious with the rear suspension. both the twinloc (Scott) and the ABP/ FullFloat/ double chamber thing (Trek) look good. what's your experience on that? (Don't like the Spec Brain Shock though).

Trek Remedy. :) A friend of mine just bought a Scott Genius LT10, and its fantastic! But, from both my own experience and a tad bit of bias, I would go for the Remedy. Saying that, depends on the model of the Genius? If it was the LT10, I may be tempted to sway more in that direction. Other bikes you could look at: Modraker Factor RR Cannondale Jekyll Ultimate. Morewood SP.d. Niner Jet 9. Sunn Charger. Spec. S-Works Enduro. Orange Alpine 160. If its the LT10, go for that.

so, what would you say: Scott Genius LT or Trek Remedy? main use: getting up and down any hill as fast as possible. :-)

Not really: They're the most popular bike manufacturer in the USA, Britain and some other countries. They have excellent bikes, brilliant service and fantastic design ideas as this suggests.

I've got the new Trek Session 88 2011; and I'm absolutely amazed by the quality of it. Especially seen as my younger brother demos new bikes for lots of different companies and as I've ridden most of what he's demo'd I would consider these bikes to be beyond what many others can come up with.
