    The Trek Dirt Series Montain Bike Program Continues to Grow even after 10 Years- Montrose Bike Shop has your Next Trek

    Make sure to check out the extraordinary article about Trek Bkes and the Trek Dirt Series, and surpassing expections year after year.  Read the full article HERE!



    In its tenth year of existence, the Trek Dirt Series delivers instruction with the goal of developing skills through a supportive, step-by-step process that helps riders move beyond their fears to truly enjoy mountain biking. More than 5,000 riders, both male and female, have pedaled through the program since its inception in 2001.


    “With Trek’s support, we’ve been able to dramatically increase our resources and expand our operation for 2010,” Shadley said. “This will be our first year providing instruction as far east as Colorado and also the first year our riders will have access to Trek’s Women’s Specific Design Factory Demo Team and fleet of demo bikes at every event.”

    “Trek is pulling out all the stops for the 2010 Trek Dirt Series,” said Dean Gore, director of marketing at Trek. “We’re eager to augment our support for the growing women’s MTB market in North America and excited about partnering with a program as established and valuable as the Dirt Series.”

    Trek's Remedy OCLV and Scratch- Continues the Expanson of Trek's Reinvigorated Mountain Line Available at Montrose Bike Shop

    A thorough article covering everything you want to know about the new Trek Remedy OCLV as well as the new Trek Scratch.  Make sure you check out the whole article HERE.

















    Trek continues the expansion of its reinvigorated mountain line with the addition of the Remedy OCLV and Scratch. The Remedy OCLV is a made in the USA carbon version of their Remedy all-mountain bike launched in 2008, while the Scratch fills a hole in Trek’s line in the “freeride” category… Or freeride light… Or heavy duty all mountain… Or whatever you want to call that space between an all-mountain bike and a pure gravity bike.
    With the addition of the Scratch, Trek now has a full line of suspension bikes with a common theme - the ABP suspension system. This completes a remarkable transition that began with the 2008 Trek Fuel EX - Trek’s the first ABP bike. I wrote about the significance back then - you can read it here. In just three model years, Trek moved from a collection of bikes that were disappointing when you considered Trek’s potential, to a complete line of exciting bikes that are among the best available anywhere. Trek’s always been home to talented bikemakers: now they have suspension bikes to match.
