It's right for you if...
You're an all-mountain junkie who lives for the fun only a long travel trail bike can deliver. You love carving descents and throwing down style on new lines. You're a ride or die kind of mountain biker, and want a bike you can handle—not one that handles you.
The tech you get
A lightweight OCLV Mountain Carbon frame that's feathery on the climbs yet stiff and sure-footed on the descents, Bontrager Line Carbon 30 wheels with a 54-tooth Rapid Drive rear hub for fast engagement, a SRAM GX Eagle 1x12 drivetrain, RockShox 160mm Lyrik RCT3 fork, and a RockShox Deluxe RT3 RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft shock that responds faster than any other shock on the market.
The final word
Remedy 9.8 is a capable carbon long travel bike that's light enough to stay quick on the climbs. It's the perfect all-around trail bike for riders who seek out big, technical trails and want a quick, capable all-mountain bike that can handle them.
Why you'll love it
1 - Remedy 9.8 plows through the gnarly stuff, but still likes getting loose on jumps and berms
2 - Wait for me, said no Remedy rider ever—This bike has a lot of travel, but it's also extremely quick on the flats and climbs
3 - RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft works faster than a normal shock, so it tracks the ground better and keeps you in control
4 - It has all the latest tech that adds up to a great ride, like carbon wheels with a 54-tooth Rapid Drive hub, Mino Link adjustable geometry, and Boost148/110 hub spacing
