Trek Session 88 DH
The basics
It's Trek's new 200mm downhill and freeride frame platform. From the front , the head tube has a bottom-heavy hourglass shape to incorporate Fox and Rockshox' E2 forks (a 1pointFive inch lower race and a standard 1.125in upper race). The shock linkage is similar to that on the Remedy - only bigger.
The frame's linkage uses the same 'Full Floater' technology, where both ends of the shock are mounted to linkages, rather than the frame. This lets you play around with shock ratios a lot more. At the back end, there is the same sort of captive QR for the Active Braking Pivot - only this time it's a bolt-through axle.

i ride the DH model and it is awesome! There is nothing on the bike that you have to "get used to" you can just hop on and ride. For an off the shelf DH bike it is respectably light and feels like you can just flick it in and out of corners. It may not be one of the cheapest DH bikes out there but it worth every penny! It is well worth trying one out some time if you are thinking of getting a new DH bike, if you like it you will love it and never go back onto a different bike. Only problem i found with the session 88's is that they dint really easily however this has yet to happen to mine.
