Who is it for?
For the sporty mountain biker who wants a bike that is fast uphill yet reassuring downhill, for sportives, marathon events and fast-paced club rides. It also suits the rider who rides varied terrain and wants only one mountain bike.
The LVR workshop view
OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. With OCLV, Trek has been compacting its fibre layers under heat and pressure for more than thirty years, for dense, void-free carbon. The OCLV Mountain derivative prioritises impact resistance, essential on a mountain bike. The Supercaliber SL 9.7 uses the SL version: slightly more material than the SLR, the same geometry, the same IsoStrut and Trek's lifetime warranty.
| OCLV Mountain SL | OCLV Mountain SLR | Alpha Platinum alloy (Procaliber 6 / 8) | |
| Level | Trek's standard mountain bike carbon | Trek's lightest mountain bike carbon | High-end aluminium, hardtail |
| Construction | OCLV process, layup tuned to absorb impacts | Same process, optimised layup, less material | Hydroformed, welded tubes |
| Reference bike | Supercaliber SL 9.6 and SL 9.7 GX AXS | Supercaliber SLR 9.8 and 9.9 | Procaliber 6 and 8, 120 mm fork |
| What it means | Tough frame, lifetime warranty, gentler budget | A few hundred grams less on the frame | No IsoStrut or rear suspension |
Put simply: the SL frame is no cut-price carbon, it simply accepts a few more grams than the SLR. On this 9.7, the investment goes into the GX AXS T-Type wireless drivetrain and the carbon handlebar: 750 g saved compared with the SL 9.6.
The 2.40-inch Rekon Race tyres offer a good compromise between efficiency and grip: low knobs for rolling fast, a voluminous casing for cushioning. On the rocky tracks around Lodève, set up tubeless at low pressure, they noticeably improve grip and comfort.
The Line Dropper post, from 100 mm in S to 170 mm in XL, lets you tackle descents with the saddle lowered; the 4-piston Motive Bronze brakes give you the power to slow down without tensing up. This pairing makes the SL 9.7 a modern XC bike, as at home on trail rides as on a race circuit.
Which Supercaliber should you choose?
| Model | Carbon | Drivetrain | Suspension | Weight (M) |
| Supercaliber SL 9.6 | OCLV Mountain SL | Mechanical SRAM Eagle 70 | Reba RL / SIDLuxe | 12.93 kg |
| Supercaliber SL 9.7 GX AXS | OCLV Mountain SL | Wireless SRAM GX AXS | SID / SIDLuxe | 12.18 kg |
| Supercaliber SLR 9.8 XT Di2 | OCLV Mountain SLR | Shimano XT Di2 | SID SL Ultimate / SIDLuxe | 11.58 kg |
| Supercaliber SLR 9.8 X0 AXS | OCLV Mountain SLR | Wireless SRAM X0 AXS | SID Select+ / SIDLuxe | 11.38 kg |
Our take: the SL 9.7 GX AXS offers the best balance in the SL range at 12.18 kg in M. For less weight and a higher-end fork, the 9.8 XT Di2 in SLR carbon weighs 11.58 kg.

LVR sizing advice Between two sizes, go for the smaller one for liveliness in the woods, the larger one if you ride mainly on fast circuits. In S, 720 mm handlebar and 60 mm stem; up to a 90 mm stem in XL.
