The Remedy has undergone numerous revisions over the years. One thing that’s remained unchanged however, is its intent — it’s always been Trek’s do-everything trail bike.

In its current format, that means 140mm travel along with the choice of either 27.5in or 29in wheels — the biggest wheels being the preserve of the higher price point bikes. Even on the entry-level 27.5in bike, you still get all of the Trek’s frame technology, including its top-quality aluminium construction with an E2 tapered head tube and ABP (Active Braking Pivot) suspension.

You even get rubber armour on the underside of the down tube, to protect the frame from rock strikes, just like you do on the expensive carbon models.

The Remedy frame is not the lightest though, and the weight of the bike will creep up even further if you choose to fit a dropper post . The Remedy is, however, very solid — something that heavier riders will no doubt appreciate.

Watch our thoughts on the Cannondale Jekyll that also has adjustable geometry

Being the entry-level bike in the range, the Remedy 7 doesn’t come with Trek’s new RE:aktiv damper. You still benefit from Trek’s DRCV shock, with its twin air can design. And Trek has finally delivered on its promise of two shocks in one; the Remedy 7 offers great support at sag, but thanks to the second air chamber — which sits on top of the shock and kicks in mid-way through the travel — you can still blow the O-ring clean off the shock body on bigger hits.

Revised DCRV float offers two shocks in one (Fowler)

Up front, the 140mm RockShox Revelation fork doesn’t get Trek’s signature G2 steering geometry, with its increased offset, and the handling on the Remedy is so much better for it. The steering is much less twitchy at speed, and felt less floppy when climbing too.

OK, so the Remedy doesn’t get a dropper seatpost. But just like a TV without a remote, it doesn’t affect the quality of the picture. Yes, it’s a pain having to stop to raise or lower the saddle — just like getting off your ass to switch channels — but given that the Trek is £200 cheaper than similarly performing bikes, you could actually buy yourself a RockShox Reverb with change to spare.

We never thought we’d say this about a Trek, but the Remedy had a 70mm stem! And while 70mm isn’t short by today’s standards, it offered the best fit and feel straight out of the box. The 750mm bar is plenty wide enough, but it had a little too much backsweep for our liking. This probably worked in Trek’s favour though, as the profile of the bar had the same effect as reducing the stem length.

Trek has finally cottoned on to the idea of short stems (Fowler)

Performance

When the Trek showed up, we thought we’d been sent the women’s version by mistake — the frame looked so low-slung and compact. The numbers don’t lie, however, and sizing and reach on the 19.5in frame felt absolutely bang-on once we hit the trails.

Best of all, it took minimal effort on our part to get a good suspension set-up — the Remedy offering the most neutral and balanced ride from the get-go.

The rear suspension provided a lot of support, and we loved being able to ride it, up or down, with the shock always in the open setting. It just felt so efficient and responsive. It also comes with a Bottomless Token preinstalled in the fork.

It’s one seriously solid bike too. Slam a berm, or land a drop sideways, and the Remedy brushes it off and presses ahead with no loss of pace or composure. Add into the mix that the rear tyre always breaks traction just before the front washes out, and it’s a sure-fire recipe for a fun, confidence-inspiring trail bike.

Even though the Remedy 7 27.5 is the entry-level model, it’s got all the bases covered. The alloy frame is bomber solid, the 140mm travel suspension is superbly tuned and easy to set up, and while the specification isn’t standout, it’s competitive and, more importantly, functional. The bike feels built to last too. Of course, there are some things we’d change to gain those final few per cent in performance — like swapping the handlebar and tyres — but these are easy fixes. Trek’s already got the perfect blend of ingredients, and any changes would just be the icing on the cake.

Trek Remedy 7 review

Big capability trail bike

Guy Kesteven

Trek took the 160mm (6.3in) travel fork off the Remedy and we thought it was a real backward step, but now their Scratch bikes have taken over bigger-hit duties, the Remedy’s tough trail bike intentions are much better defined.

Even this entry-level model is a proper do-it-all option for new dabblers or dynamic riders alike.

Ride & Handling: Stiff frame, excellent tracking and feedback

The DRCV shock uses two inline air spring chambers, operating automatically in sequence in response to impact size. What that means in ride terms is a relatively tight, very pedal-friendly feel as you sit on the first, progressive feeling air chamber over small bumps.

Start hitting choppier, lumpier terrain though and a simple pushrod inside opens the second chamber to provide the deeper phase of travel. The chambers open and shut at an exactly matched pressure, so transfer between them is seamless and the overall control of the two chambers is superb. The fact that the bottom of the Free Floater swingarm-mounted shock moves down as the top is compressed also has a big effect on the overall feel.

Specifically there’s a much more controlled and predictable feel in the 25 to 75 per cent stroke range compared to single large volume cans, which often rush through the mid-stroke using travel for travel’s sake. There’s no need to run extra low-speed compression for pert pedalling feel either and once you’ve set pressures (using the handy clip-on sag indicator) the ProPedal lever is pretty much redundant for anything but fireroad sprints.

The rest of the handling is equally forgettable in a totally sorted way. We tested this bike with a wide range of riders from XC hardtail fans to Enduro DH podium racers and all of them came back full of praise. The longer stem and narrower bars combine with a relatively steep head angle to create a more trail rather than DH feel.

Progressive riders should therefore definitely think about upgrading to a short stem/wide bar cockpit. Having said that, it never let steep, rutted technical singletrack get the better of it when we raced it at Innerleithen. Even when we were braking and cornering hard enough to really feel the extended travel Fox fork twist and twang and the tyres slide in and out of traction over wet roots, the overall balance and high frame stiffness meant we never totally lost control.

The longer reach and less wander-prone handling also give it more balanced climbing manners, particularly on really steep, techy stuff. While it’s not light, the position and shock feel let it cover ground and gain height better than we expected.

Frame & Equipment: Stiff frame with cost conscious but still decent kit

Trek were one of the first companies to use a tapered front end, and the angular E2 tapered head tube is still an obvious feature.

The shared seam between the big truncated triangle down tube and steeply sloped hexagonal top tube, and a small gusset ahead of the seat tube, adds extra strength. It’s not a hollow axle rear end, but the single-piece EVO linkage and long ABP skewer works really well to lock down rotational rear wheel stiffness, and mud clearance is OK even with the 2.4in tyre.

Sandwiching the unique DRCV shock between the linkage and forward extensions of the swingarm – rather than anchoring it on the mainframe – means there’s room for a water bottle. The bottom bracket has mounts for an ISCG chain keeper and the fat down tube does a good job of acting like a Crud Catcher as well.

The seatpost needs cutting down if you want to get the seat really low though and there are no remote cable tabs if you upgrade to a remote post.

This is one of the cheaper bikes here, so Trek have had to cut some kit corners, but they’ve made sure it’s nothing that short changes the rider. The Avid Elixir 3 brakes are actually more predictable and reliable than their more expensive brethren once you’ve swapped to sintered pads. The open bath damped Fox forks are slightly heavier, but smoother over the small stuff than the more expensive FIT versions.

The SRAM X.7 gear all works fine too as long as you keep the cables clean, and the triple chainset syncs with the all-rounder ability of the bike. The longer stem and narrow bars create a more XC feel than the other bikes here too. The Bontrager tyres are relatively fast-rolling too, although broad rims give them a vast volume, and they’re tubeless compatible for low pressure running.

The really important component is the DRCV shock though. Not only does it use two inline air spring chambers, the side-mounted design squeezes a 220mm shock into a 200mm eye-to-eye length. The DRCV shock in Full Floater mount feels great.

Table of Contents

Trek Remedy 7

• Price: $3,299
• Frame: Aluminum
• Gear: 1×12 speed
• Tires: 27.5×2.60”

What we like about it: The shock absorber is second to none among vehicles of its kind, and the price concessions make it a great value for money in its class.

What we don’t like about it: the components are expensive.

Rating : (4.8\5)

From hiking up steep hills as a child to now riding a mountain bike to untouched woodlands. A quality mountain bike is an essential companion. And the appearance of Trek Remedy 7 satisfies all our imaginations.

Although the Trek Remedy 7 has also been evaluated on the data. But when I first started, I was really surprised. I am very pleased with the light body weight. Imaginative artistic colors make you ride like a blue lightning bolt on a tree-lined mountain path.

Not only that, but for riders on rough mountain roads, the long-travel 160mm RockShox fork provides the ultimate body stability while moving at high speeds.

Below, we break down the Trek Remedy 7’s descending and climbing capabilities, key features, components, and specs. and other editions of the series. If you want to see more Trek Remedy versions, check out our review.

I have to admit that as an off-road vehicle, the Trek Remedy 7’s downhill effect is very surprising.

Our testers spent more than 2 months on the Trek Remedy 7. The downhill twists and turns full of gravel and branches. In the midst of anxiety, I was also prepared to fall. But at the end of the no-brake coasting, it all felt extra quick. When I swooped down, I tried my best to control my balance so as not to lose weight.

To my surprise, I landed on the road smoothly and safely. The combination of front and rear suspension for fast descents, and the hydraulic disc brakes of the SRAM Guide T with enough stopping power, all roar down the road full of huge gravel and misconnected roots.

Thanks to the RockShox 35 Gold with 160mm travel and the RockShox Deluxe with 150mm travel, I didn’t get hurt on this stretch of road. Without Bob’s reminder, I seem to have forgotten his cheers from the back. Of course, all of this is related to the RockShox Deluxe Select+ that the Trek Remedy 7 is equipped with. When I stood on the road unscathed, I couldn’t help but sigh about the stability and power of the Trek Remedy 7.

In addition, some people think that the wide tires of the Trek Remedy 7 will become a hindrance to steering. However, to verify this, we did more than 10 tests on singletrack trails and downhill sharp turns.

In my opinion, this is not a concern for entry-level riders. Of course, if you’re racing in the woods, you have to have a lot of practice to get more breakthroughs in the different tracks. Having said that, after putting together all our downhill tests, we still believe that the wide 2.6-inch tires are more suitable for climbing rides than for downhill descenders.

In general, we will not force it to deliberately pursue the descent of super difficult technical terrain. But when you’re riding in the woodlands around town or in the mountains up to 4,000 feet above sea level, it’s downhill enough to keep you on your toes.

Of course, the Trek Remedy 7 still excels not only on bumpy roads, but even on muddy roads.

After almost four months of testing, the Bontrager XR5 Team Issue performed well on a tubeless tire (aramid bead, 120 tpi, 27.5×2.60″) on muddy fields.

I didn’t feel like it was strenuous on wet and muddy roads. Singing loudly on the field in a Trek Remedy 7 feels hearty.

The Trek Remedy 7 has a relatively steep head angle, strong tires, and a lightweight aluminum frame. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why it has a good performance in climbing.

When I happily drove the Trek Remedy 7 up the winding mountain roads, I didn’t feel the physical fatigue caused by the steepness of the road. Perhaps this should be attributed to the advantages brought by the SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain.

Meanwhile, the SRAM NX Eagle offers an ample number of gears. Although I was facing a ramp that was over 45° and I was even exhausted for it, it was surprising to get to the top of the hill with plenty of energy. Even on steep roads, I believe that the effect brought by the SRAM NX Eagle will not disappoint.

In addition, the Trek Remedy 7 has a 160mm RockShox front fork and a 150mm rear suspension dropper post, making it perhaps not the most effective match for uphill in terms of shock absorption.

But the good news is that the Trek Remedy 7 is also good enough to get you to the top of the trail with ease. The 32.36-pound body might have a weight advantage on climbs, and the 66.1 head angle gave me a good position on the climbs.

Not only that, but the slightly steeper seat tube angle (74.7) puts my foot in a proper pedaling angle, saving more effort and being more efficient.

Main Feature

The frame of the Trek Remedy 7 is the type of frame we often see in high-end bikes. However, the Alpha Platinum Aluminum material keeps it from being overly lightweight, but at a relatively low price, I think it’s very reasonable frame material.

With its youthful paint color and flat welds, the Trek Remedy 7’s detailing is also impressive. Of course, there are quite a few people who still prefer the traditional black, white, and gray tones relatively conservatively.

Clean and tidy internal wiring, and rubber protection are used at the entrance and exit of the cable to avoid accidental bumps during riding, so that your pleasant trip is interrupted.

There is a rear suspension in the middle of the frame, which is also able to continuously absorb small vibrations from the rear wheels. The overall frame weight is still on the heavy side, and if you increase your budget by $2,000 you can get a carbon fork with the same geometry.

In addition, it also hopes to be recognized by the rider, using a silent device on the top and bottom of the down tube, or it is more appropriate to say that the top is an anti-collision protective cover.

The frame also has adjustable geometry, which we detail in the geometry below. If you’re looking for a big-travel all-mountain bike, the Trek Remedy 7 is a great option if you don’t have the budget to spare.

Although it is currently only available in offline stores or used bike platforms.

It has to be said that the Trek Remedy 7’s geometric design does not feel extreme. The 66.1 head angle would feel too narrow for many, but given the actual riding experience, we don’t think so.

The tighter head tube angle will allow the arms to flex to a comfortable angle, increasing riding efficiency and eliminating the fatigue of long-distance riding. But if I have one complaint about the Trek Remedy 7, it’s that it’s too short a reach.

Because of commuting, I always pass the 200-meter-long uphill road with potholes, which was very difficult in the past. But Trek Remedy 7 relieved me a little from this difficulty.

The 74.7 seat tube angle makes my center of gravity lean forward involuntarily, and the tubeless tires (120 tpi, 27.5×2.60″) have a strong grip, allowing me to drive forward faster when going uphill.

Of course, good climbing also means more relatively slow descents. In the downhill comparison of the same type of off-road vehicles, the Remedy 7 may not have any advantages. However, as an entry-level off-road vehicle, it’s still worthy of your consideration.

Finally, the Trek Remedy 7’s shorter wheelbase allows it to have more responsive steering in circling highway form. Of course, you might worry about whether this will bring instability, however, after two days of experimental testing, this worry is not necessary.

The center of 356mm BB makes the center of gravity of the whole body very stable.

According to the above analysis, after removing the price factor, Trek Remedy 7 may be your first choice in terms of choice.

Components and Specifications

Sram nx eagle drivetrain.

But in my opinion, the SRAM NX Eagle is the core highlight of the Trek Remedy 7. In terms of climbing ability, the large 50-tooth sprocket allows you to get good power on the tortuous climbing road, while the heavier and larger gears will allow you to maintain a stable forward power in smooth travel.

Combined with the 150mm rear suspension, the body has very high stability, and even off-road riding in the Alps can be equally fun.

SRAM Guide T 4-Piston Hydraulic Disc

If you want to evaluate the quality of a car’s braking, then I believe that moving like a rabbit and standing still like water should be the highest description. Braking is one of our most important evaluation criteria for off-road vehicles. So how does the Trek Remedy 7 brake? To this end, we also conducted a two-day evaluation.

First of all, on the rough and uneven mountain path, the road is piled with withered and yellow leaves that fell in early autumn, and there will be some difficulties in the entire road. We tested hard braking at both fast and slow speeds.

I found that at any speed, braking was done with just one finger of my left hand. I’ve also come to the same conclusion in my experiments on a smooth Fireroad.

Because the existence of the hydraulic disc makes the body lighter and better controls the direction of the whole car, which is really amazing.

But also realize that the SRAM Guide T’s powerful braking power is made up of a relatively fragile shell. Maybe it will cause some damage to the bumpy riding on the mountain road for a long time.

At this point, we should go to the bicycle store to find a good alternative. Of course, for everyday use, the SRAM Guide T still met our braking needs.

Other Versions of Trek Remedy

The Trek Remedy line has always been sought after and loved by customers. But considering different audiences, Trek Remedy will also optimize the configuration to meet your personalized needs. Compared with Remedy 7, Remedy 9.7 has been fully upgraded.

The aluminum material bracket has been upgraded to OCLV Mountain Carbon, and the body has become lighter and smaller.

Meanwhile, the 150mm shock, dropper post and SRAM NX 11-speed drivetrain make the Remedy 9.7 a high-end carbon fiber mountain bike that costs a little more than the Remedy 7. Those with deep pockets prefer all components of carbon fiber.

All in all, you can find the best model for your needs here.

What do we like about it?

• The steeper head tube angle gives a more powerful advantage on the climbs.
• In any terrain, the SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain brakes faster and better.
• RockShox Deluxe Select+ reduces vibration for less ride fatigue.

What we don’t like about it?

• The 2.6-inch tires slowed down descents.
• Lower-quality aluminum brakes.

Comparison Chart

Marin alpine trail 7 vs trek remedy 7.

If the Trek Remedy 7 intrigues you, it’s impossible not to notice the Marin Alpine Trail 7 of its kind. We also do functional tests for this, so that you can better choose the vehicle that is right for you.

If descending performance is your thing, the Marin Alpine Trail 7 might be hard to beat. SLX brakes may not meet your expectations for downhill performance.

Compared to the SRAM NX Eagle, the slx may have the rider to apply more force to start the body. Of course, you can also upgrade the rear wing by 203mm to make up for this gap.

Scott Genius 950 vs Trek Remedy 7

Have to admit that the Scott Genius 950 and Trek Remedy 7 are similar in many ways. Especially on some rough ascents, the climbing skills displayed by both cars are amazing.

But at the same time, we also see that the two cars respond differently to different roads. Scott Genius has to have TwinLoc enabled or your pedals will keep shaking as you go uphill, while Trek doesn’t have to do that, and the more support makes it easier to start.

In terms of comfort, the Trek is slightly better. Although the two cars are very good in rough terrain.

Trek Slash 7 vs Trek Remedy 7

The Trek Slash 7 is highly sought after by customers for its high stability. The 29-inch tires give it a place in larger vehicles as well. So far, the combination of RockShox Yari RC and DebonAir springs can give you a great sense of security on the road.

The 170mm of fork travel avoids a lot of unwanted shocks. But the sheer size means there may be a slight lack in speed, with a steeper, slacker head tube. And the SRAM NX Eagle on the Trek Remedy 7 means you’ll likely have more traction uphill than the Slash, and the 27.5-inch wheels give you the flexibility to traverse the hills.

GT Force 29 Expert vs Trek Remedy 7

The GT is one of the few bikes with RockShox suspension, paired with the ZEB ultimate fork and the ultimate ultra-luxury shock with 170/160mm of front and rear travel, and it has a solid performance in shock absorption.

The GT is the product of choice among many customers in endurance racing. But some shortcomings are undeniable. In our months of testing, we found that the GT had a lot of chain slack on uphills, and I noticed weird noises from the cables rubbing against the frame during rides due to the messy wiring layout. This may be a big improvement.

And Trek Remedy handles the details of the body very well. Clean and tidy internal wiring, and rubber protection is used at the entrance and exit of the cable to avoid accidental bumps during riding, so that your pleasant trip will not be interrupted.

Trek Remedy 7 (2013)

• Add to quote

I have decided to pull the trigger on this bike. Pretty psyched. Planning on upgrading the crank set immediately with the SLX set up from my old hard tail. Couple things: Thoughts on this bike? It lists at $2649 on the Trek site (same price at my LBS). It has been a while since I have bought anything ski or bike related without being a shop employee. My question is how much wiggle room do you think I have with the SRP? Negotiation tips?  

mizzaboom said: Thoughts on this bike? how much wiggle room do you think I have with the SRP? Negotiation tips? Click to expand...

you should be ble to get 10-15% off no problem unless its a new release. the 2013s just came out so youre probably going to pay msrp.  

Paying in cash helps too . Sometimes  

Thanks for the advice everyone. I will do my best to bargain a little bit and see how it goes.  

Mizzaboon, What size are Remedy are you looking for? A foolish buddy of mine just bought a small, and he wants to get rid of it. He's selling the complete Remedy 8 for 2100 I believe. PM me if you're interested.  

I don't haggle with the bike shops, they don't make that much profit on bikes. But being a loyal and pleasant customer pays off in spades. I got 10% off my last two bikes on top of already discounted prices (from different shops) without asking, and they throw in freebies if they like you.  

I can absolutely 100% state by fact the bike shop made $1000 profit on my last new bike purchase and it was a previous years model on sale. They make MORE on a current years high-end bikes. I saw their cost on the bike with my very own eyes, more than once.  

Awesome choice man! Post up some pictures when you get her!!  

My LBS is usually 10-15% cheaper than MSRP. I'd check other LBS around your area even if 40-50 miles away and get thier price. Check online at pinkbike, ebay etc.... Find the cheapest price and ask your LBS how close they can match it. Usually they hate to miss a sale over a few bucks.  

Very true I shopped around and took lowest price to my lbs and paid cash they made it happen I saved a few hundred off of retail  

End of last year there was a Remedy 8 for sale for $2000. I like buying the last models to save several HUNDRED dollars, but then again I don't have to have the newest...  

Update: My decision to buy the Remedy 7 was short lived. When I originally posted this thread I had narrowed my selection down mostly on research here and elsewhere. Back in October there were no '13 Remedy 7s in the country yet...so I couldn't test ride it (also had no luck finding any last year's Remedy's to ride in my area). LBS guy said they would be in come spring. Well throughout the winter I decided to do a bit more research and wait until late winter/early spring to make a final decision on anything. Alas, I found an awesome deal on an '11 Giant Trance x1 a couple weeks ago... got it for $2600. Less travel than the Remedy but I like the feel of the Trance a lot more plus at that price for the XT kit (brakes, drive train, wheels/hubs) I couldn't pass it up. I might swap the fork out for a 140 at some point but for now I am going to enjoy the hell out of this purchase!
