Trek Superfly review

Proven and well-natured performer

justin loretz

Trek, or more specifically Gary Fisher, were the first big name to really ‘get’ 29ers. This understanding of the big-wheel phenomenon is clear from their design philosophy. Their bikes look different and ride differently to other 29ers.

• Highs: The Superfly is easy to ride fast and easy to ride slow
• Lows: It needs a bigger front tyre
• Buy if... You want a go-anywhere, do-anything racer with upgrade potential

Trek’s commitment to carbon is one of the longest-standing in the industry. Their Optimum Compaction Low Void (OCLV) monocoques have 20 years of iterative tweaks to offer frames that are stiff, light and blessed with a comfort factor that makes many other bikes feel like church pews.

Gary Fisher’s G2 geometry reduces trail (the distance between a line to the floor through the centreline of the steerer and a line falling vertically to the ground), which Trek use to increase steering stability. Many mountain bikers like this characteristic, as it enhances performance and confidence on steep or loose surfaces. Add in a tapered head tube for a stiffer front end and a wide, strong, press-fit BB90 bottom bracket, and the Superfly frame is ready for your power.

The Shimano transmission and brakes mix eye-catching XT rear and SLX front derailleurs, a non-series triple chainset, SLX brakes and that solid workhorse, a RockShox Reba fork. The rest of the bike is a trip through the Bontrager catalogue, with everything from grips to tyres from the Trek component arm. No one liked the overuse of blue anodising, which cheapens an otherwise tidy bike. We’d like a slightly more aggressive front tyre too.

All of our testers commented upon the Superfly's easy-riding nature. It goes exactly where it’s pointed, exploiting whatever grip the fast-rolling 2.2in Bontrager 29-1 tyres can find. The Trek gets you doing the basics right – climbing in the saddle without having to over reach, carving turns, railing around uphill switchbacks and letting you take liberties on line choice. Not having to jig about in the saddle to bring both wheels into play is refreshing.

This bike has a proven track record for performance, with the same frame being ridden to numerous World Cup podium spots. That the Trek was also popular with less experienced riders speaks volumes – it has a true pedigree not just as a speed machine, but for riding on dirt. There are more glamorous bikes, but few that ride as well as the Superfly.

2016 Trek Superfly 9.6

• Add to quote

Just Purchased this bike last week….. and it " should " be ready for pick up on friday the 28th. I guess there were only 4 of these here in the U.S… and they are all on the east coast so been waiting patiently. hahaha yea right. Going with Specialized flat pedals, ESI chunky grips, RCT3 A3 upgrade for Shox. And also considering switching to Saguaro tires since i've had good results with them in the past. Oh, and of course tubeless…….. Depending how it rides for me will determine what other upgrades i'll make in the near future. This'll be my 1st carbon frame so just wondering what others are using to protect the down tube? The SF 9.6 does already come with a plastic plate on the bottom of the down tube but it is somewhat short. I've heard helicopter tape or something along those lines will protect from minor scuffs and what not. so what are y'all using to protect your frames? I plan on mostly doing XC runs out here in the desert where there are tons of jagged rocks on parts of the trails so i'd like to take whatever precaution necessary to protect my new baby. Anyhow, i'll be sure to take pics once she's in my hands. Thanks all in advance…..  

This stuff has saved my frame (2014 carbon remedy) on several occasions: http://www.amazon.com/Effetto-Mariposa-Shelter-Frame-Protection/dp/B007W2C9UI Add the Shelter protection to the downtube... Especially under the bottom bracket. I can't tell you how many rocks I've kicked up or bounced into that area. I also tend to add stickers around the head tube where cable rub is likely. I had a trunk mount car rack that beat the ship out the top tube clear coat... so there's that.  

Thanks for the link…. looks like it's much thicker then helicopter tape. I'll be sure to order some. The bike is still in transit … so it looks like the new ETA is either this Monday or Tuesday. Sucks, because I was really looking forward to riding this weekend. Especially since I sold my other bike last week. lol Oh well…just a couple more days to go.  

Besides the RCT3 check under the air cap for a couple bottomless tokens. The end of stroke progression you get lets you run less air pressure, around 80 or so. The Expert tires are only really about 1.75". They cut down the frame compliance.  

My 9.7 has a big plastic downtube protector. Works fine. Great bike.  

Hey eb1888…sorry I didn't completely understand your post above…...so your saying that I should also purchase a couple of bottomless tokens to go with the RCT3 upgrade? And yes, I did notice the "expert" tires were skinnier then the Saguaros I used to ride on. I was considering just trying out the Experts for a few weeks to give them a fair chance... but honestly, my gut is saying to just upgrade those too and to not mess around with the experts. Zippinveedub, yea, my 9.6 also has a plastic tube protector ….. but i'm not convinced that that will do a thorough job on protecting the underbelly of the bike since I am going to be riding all the time here in the high desert where jagged rocks are the norm. Again, i know i'm being overly cautious… and that's why I wanted to hear what others here had to say on the subject.  

I'm saying ask or check to see if the bottomless tokens are included with the Reba on the 9.6. Two are supplied installed on the 9.8 SID. If you don't have them the standard part is a 5 piece bag for about $14. They are an inexpensive performance upgrade. I push the bike a lot so I've gone to three. If you have a higher(or actually normal) volume tire that works in your locale, I'd put it on at the start.  

My 2015 Slash 9.9 came with a beefy downtube protector. I ordered a spare, assuming I would chew through it pretty fast. I ride some pretty nasty, rocky trails and I have had zero problems. The spare is still sitting on the shelf.  

Finally!!!!! Bike will be ready for pick up tomorrow morning………. Man, it's been hell waiting, but i know it is going to be worth it! Pics coming soon~  

Finally! Going to be taking her out on a 26 mile loop tomorrow morning. Already i am considering a shorter stem than the 100mm thats on there now…and also a longer carbon bar. oh, and maybe a new saddle…..but we'll see after i put some miles on her. But I am digging the red ESI chunky bar grips compared to the lock grips they had.

Glad you like it! I've got my XL setup with an 80stem and 700 bars and it fits well. They're great bikes. Doing my first hundo on it this weekend! Enjoy it.  

What size? Looks like a nice bike. Short stem and wide bars is definitely the way to go. SF HTs are great at climbing and you will love it.  

Great looking bike!  

Thanks guys….. I'm loving it so far. Went out again this morning to "Re-Test" the new stem / Bar combo I just got the day prior, and about half way through my ride, I noticed that my hands kept wanting to slide closer to the center of the bar maybe about an inch or so to have that perfect comfort level….so, the 780mm just felt a tad too long for me and felt as if though I still had the 100mm stem on as it had me reaching forward too much so went back to LBS after my ride and had them hack off enough to make them 740mm. Now they are absolutely perfect. I may still try an 80stem later down the road but for now, I believe my bike is finally dialed. Getting ready for a 35 mile ride this sunday and possibly another 26 mile on monday depending how I feel from sunday's ride. lol Zippen….good luck with your hundo. i'm def. not ready for one of those yet but one day soon.  

Rained here a lot on Saturday because of the Monsoons, so we decided not to go Sunday and go out Monday instead. Did a total of about 28 miles…. fell twice. I definitely need to work on my turning skills on rocky switchbacks . my front wheel kept wanting to slide out from under me. possibly too much air…i'm running 29psi on tubeless…. next time I will make sure it is much lower then that so I can hopefully get some better traction on those tight curves and corners. And on the other hand….it could just be these damn Bont. XR2's. looking into new tires now.  

Well, since three weeks ago I have…… switched tires from the stock Bont. XR2's and decided to go with a Continental Mountain King 2.4 on front and X-King 2.2 on rear. Upgraded my saddle to a WTB "speed" Switched out the 90mm stem for an 80mm And finally, yesterday I went down and picked up a pair of Shimano SPD's …..which I absolutely LOVE!!! So happy I made the switch from flats….huge improvement going over techy terrain. my feet "Stay" planted and I am no longer constantly trying to reposition my footing. Also…..decided to ditch the saddle bag and got myself an Osprey Raptor 6 hydration pack and find it to be much much better then having all that stuff rattling around underneath me.  

You can run lower pressure than 29 front unless you get rim hits. I like 30mm ID rim wheels for much better cornering grip with no foldover washouts. You get more sidewall support and can run about 4-5 lower psi pressure because of the added volume. Makes for better climbing traction too.  

R.I.P. Superfly……. Fell over on a huge rock and cracked the seat stay on the frame……. sad sad day for me. LBS is going to see what they can do…..if anything.  

Argh, that sucks man. Hardly even a month in.  

Wow how did you fall? I've had a SF 9.8 for two years and I've beaten the crap out of it and blown several sets of wheels but the frame just keeps on going. That's too bad. Hopefully something can get worked out for you.  

The way I fell was so lame….. I actually wish I had a cool story to tell you. I was riding both the Robles and Starpass Loops yesterday morning ….and well, there's a trail that connects the two loops together called Cat Mountain Trail Cat Mountain Trail Mountain Bike Trail, Tucson Estates, Arizona CMT is very technical in certain areas with LOTS of jagged rocks everywhere. There was one area that had a steep climb and I managed to get up and over it but the back tire spun out at the top. So after I got my breath and was ready to go again, I had my right foot on a huge jagged rock and my left foot was clipped in…I went to push off and my front wheel got caught between two rocks and I started to tip over to the right…..my right foot tried to reach for that jagged rock I tried to push off of but missed and I ended up doing a little bit of the splits and the bike suffered all the weight between me and the rock. I guess the rock was sharp and jagged enough to crack the frame. I actually didn't know it was cracked and rode the rest of my ride that day …then after some more pondering I decided to take it to the LBS to have them look it over and after they did they determined that it was in fact cracked. They did mention that they were going to try and help me out so we'll see what happens from here. If I have to buy another frame ……… I might have to wait until after January before I can afford another investment like this. Just F'n sucks!!!  

Found a place in California called Calfeedesigns.com that can repair my carbon frame. Will cost me around $250 and comes with a 10 year warranty! Looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel after all!  

Cool. I'm in Australia and even I've heard of Calfree. They're a pretty safe bet and that's a pretty good price, you should go for it.  

Sweet!!!! I actually found someone local who does Carbon repair…..will cost half the price as Calfee. Pics coming soon!

Photos From Moscow Star Trek Into Darkness Premiere

| April 26, 2013 | By: TrekMovie.com Staff 34 comments so far

Photos from Moscow

On Thursday night Chris Pine, JJ Abrams, Zachary Quinto and Alice Eve attended the red carpet premiere of Star Trek Into Darkness in Moscow, Russia. The start of the film ended up being delayed due to the stars being caught in bad traffic. On top of that it was raining, so those together created a shortened time on the red carpet. But the stars did stop to take pictures with some fans and do some signing.

More red carpet with fans:

Here are some posed shots from inside the theater.

Before the film started JJ and the stars spoke to the crowd.

And some members of the Russian Fan Club put together cards that spelled out "Live Long And Prosper" on one side and "We Love You" on the other. Abrams and his actors commented on them and said he was touched by the gesture.

New Publicity photos

Paramount also had a photo call with the group in Moscow. Here are some of those photos.

Next Red Carpets: Berlin and London

Today the Star Trek Into Darkness tour went to Paris, but there was no red carpet, however JJ did meet with the press. On Monday there will be a red carpet premiere in Berlin. And on then they head to London on May 2nd for what is being called the "World Premiere" event, where they will be joined by most of the rest of the main cast (including Benedict Cumberbatch), as well as the other producers.  Following London will be an event in Mexico City and then on to the Hollywood premiere on May 14th.

What, there are Trekkies in Russia?? ;-)

Chris Pine, buddy, who needs catwomen, when you got those beautiful Russian girls. Well done, Chris. Wink-Wink Yea, baby!!!

Until now, i only knew that Russians are huge Dolph Lungren-Fans. Maybe they’ll also swallow Trek in the future.

These publicity junkets must be so tiring, but everyone seems to have happy energy! And since I have heard Alice Eve interviewed several times, I am getting rather fond of her. She sounds as devoted to the craft of acting as some of my favorite actors. Wondering if she will be back for Trek3.

Thank you Zachary for not wearing hipster Hitler hair :)

Oi, that black lace dress Alice Eve is wearing in those photos looks damn much like the dress Adele wore at her 2011 London concert and… dearest me, did I actually just write that? Time to go to sleep. Good Night!

@5 I thought the exact same thing, that she reminds me of Adele … no worries. She looks good, appears she’s eating more than spinach again :)

Yes, they’re Trekkies from all over the world. *Does the Vulcan Salute, from Jamaica, West Indies. :)

Goddam Russkies get to see the film before Americans. The world has gone to hell.

Yes Adele and Alice look so alike!! A bit similar to the Gorn and a tribble likeness. you could almost assume they were twins. Hmm

Adele and Alice look alike?

Is it me, or does Mr. Quint’s jacket look a little to small?

Great post, Tony!

And thanks again to JJ & Co for visiting us, and, of course, for awesome Star Trek movie!

“No Anton?”

Anton along with Zoe and Eric Bana were last time on Star Trek premiere.

This time we had more trekkies and that was great. The audience reaction was priceless. We all laughed, cried and applauded during the movie and that it worth to wait four years.

here in Berlin someone told me that there is a stage being build at the sony center, the place of the star trek premiere gala, which is bigger than anything before. He did not know if it will be actually for the star trek premiere but if this is the case this will be the biggest event of that kind, Berlin has ever seen!

Yes, much better. They all look very elegantly turned out. Much nicer than at that MTV thing. Though I doubt they were able to eat anything that evening in those supertight jackets.

Alice Eve always looks so beautiful.

damn! Russian Trek chicks are hot! =P

Alright, so whom do I have to blackmail in order to have our local premiere shifted from June to April? :-P

Then again, why am I surprised. This is Paramount I’m talking about, so of course they messed the whole thing up. They always do. I can’t really think of any redeeming quality they have, aside from owning the Star Trek trademark. *shrug*

Don’t Chris Pine and Alice Eve make a lovely looking couple?

The four of them look wonderful and there seems to be such a big enthusiastic audience. Oh dear, the ties again… Everyone looks better minus the tie… and I want me some Chris Pine…sigh…so gorgeous….oops…starting to drool again…oh dear…:) Loving it!

@19. I’m disgusted. Trek is an AMERICAN institution and for the first time, we have to wait while the entire world gets to see the movie premiered before WE do. This is a crime!

I thoroughly understand the fact that the bean counters want to make this movie more international and drum up the international dollars. Perhaps, we should have been first, then the international dates follow in rapid..say weekly succession.

From the few quickie reviews, it seems the movie is ho-hum popcorn movie fare, not to talk about being a stand out Trek movie. The posters with Kirk, Spock and Uhura holding guns in a Charlie’s Angels’ like pose is telling. What does vengeance by the Trek crew have to do with Star Trek? If this is the theme of the movie, this would be a shame. I would more than be glad to be proven wrong come 5-18.

We will see..

#21. On the one hand you pretty much say the movie probably is mediocre. Then, on the other hand, you whine about not seeing it ASAP versus other countries.

Sheesh, Cybil, make up your damn mind???

Exactly. I want to see it first and if it IS mediocre. :-D

@9 @11: I’m not sure whether you were referring to MY comment but I’d like to point out that I was referring solely to the DRESS… and that it was one of those observations you make when you’re dead tired and a bit drunk, like I was yesterday.

@15 Yes it is for the star trek premiere and they need quite some space to build it. Picture from Friday http://www.flickr.com/photos/94644037@N07/8685766908/in/photostream/

Zach’s Hair looks totally sharp! Would have looked even more sophisticated with a clean shave ;)

Man are there going to be a lot of people mad about this movie when it comes out.

If you thought hardcore Trek fans hated the first movie then you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Nah, Chris Pine and Zach Quinto are a much more lovely looking couple…it’s amazing how much they look like each other….

#19. Paul – April 27, 2013

Well, they don’t even own that, so that slate is clear for you.

Then you obviously haven’t watched a lot of Trek. There are a LOT of story lines involving revenge.

#30. CoffeeProf – April 28, 2013

Pray tell, out of over 700 scripts filmed what percentage involved Federation crew vengeance that you consider a LOT?

TV shows and movies aren’t connected. In the movies revenge has played a role in a lot of the movies and it was the main focus in quite a few.

How can anyone who is upset or ‘disgusted’ about other countries getting an early premier call themselves a Star Trek fan??? Star Trek is not YOURS, it is the collective OURS of the world. Gene emphasized in the original show that by that time we’d be working together harmoniously. You’re going to see the damn movie so calm down. America is not the only place with Trek fans and usually, the ones outside of this country arent thrown a bone (gotta admit, I do want the JJprise model that’s only going to be sold overseas :)) But really, it’s a studio issue about trying to have the film make more money than it did previously and before you get on a soapbox about how Trek isnt a cash cow, um how else do you think Trek gets to be around? Enterprise was cancelled because of money. The late 90s boom of new Trek was because of the money that TNG produced. So lets get real and dial down the anger to outsiders. Trek is for all of us.
