For the XC racer who rides rocky terrain and prefers robust tyres to saving a handful of grams, or for the experienced mountain biker who wants the wireless drivetrain and carbon wheels for training as well as racing.
OCLV Mountain: the foundation of the race Procalibers. This 9.7 is built on the OCLV carbon Trek has produced since 1992, here in a mountain bike version whose layup prioritises strength against impacts; its frames benefit from the brand's lifetime warranty. The rear end uses IsoBow, an arched junction between the seatstays and seat tube that works like a flexible leaf spring and absorbs some of the chatter. The rest of the build is that of a race bike: carbon wheels, RSL integrated cockpit, cable-free SRAM GX AXS.
| OCLV Mountain (Procaliber 9.x) | Alpha Platinum (Procaliber 6 / 8) | Alpha Silver (Marlin) | |
| Level | Trek's mountain bike carbon, lifetime frame warranty | High-end aluminium | Entry-level MTB aluminium |
| Construction | OCLV process, layup focused on impact resistance, IsoBow | Internal cables, threaded BSA, UDH | Simple, robust design |
| Reference bike (M) | Procaliber 9.7: 11.38 kg | Procaliber 8: 12.78 kg | Marlin 7: 14.15 kg |
| What it means | Lighter, rear end flexes over bumps | Heavier, no IsoBow | Versatile, noticeably heavier |
In short: this version of the 9.7 keeps the carbon wheels, SID and GX AXS, but rolls on Maxxis Rekon Race EXO tyres and an Eagle 90 chainset. Trek quotes 11.38 kg in M, 800 g above the version with Sainte-Anne RSL tyres: better-protected tyres for rock gardens, slightly less liveliness.
The EXO casing of the Maxxis Rekon Race adds sidewall protection against cuts, invaluable on the limestone edges around Béziers and in the rock gardens of the Espinouse. Set up tubeless, they can run low pressure without fear of pinch flats.
The GX AXS derailleur does away with cables: no housing to get clogged, precise shifts even after a muddy ride, and an adjustment that stays stable over time. The 34-tooth chainring paired with the 10-52 offers a tall gear for fast tracks and a reserve for climbing.
| Model | Frame | Drivetrain | Fork | Weight (M) |
| Procaliber 9.6 | OCLV Mountain, IsoBow | SRAM Eagle 70 T-Type 1x12 | Fox Factory 34, 130 mm | 12.38 kg |
| Procaliber 9.7 (Rekon Race) | OCLV Mountain, IsoBow | Wireless SRAM GX AXS | SID 120 mm | 11.38 kg |
| Procaliber 9.7 (RSL tyres) | OCLV Mountain, IsoBow | Wireless SRAM GX AXS | SID 120 mm | 10.58 kg |
| Supercaliber SL 9.7 (full suspension) | OCLV Mountain | Wireless SRAM GX AXS | 80 mm rear / 110 mm front | 12.18 kg |
Our take: the version of the 9.7 with Sainte-Anne RSL tyres comes in at 10.58 kg, 800 g less; this Rekon Race build favours protection. Compared with the Eagle 70 9.6 (12.38 kg), this 9.7 saves 1 kg and adds wireless shifting and carbon wheels.

LVR sizing advice The one-piece RSL cockpit measures 60 mm in S and 80 mm from M to XL according to Trek: the position is race-oriented, fairly low. If you are between two sizes, the smaller one raises your posture slightly; a bike fit will settle the question.

| Why Maxxis tyres? | The EXO casing resists cuts better on rocky terrain. |
| Is the white delicate? | It gets dirty quickly; a protective film applied in the workshop preserves the finish. |
| Updating the drivetrain? | The AXS firmware updates via the SRAM app; we do it at every service. |
| What stem length? | The RSL integrated bar-stem measures 60 mm in S and 80 mm from M to XL according to Trek. |

The LVR Cycles verdict A fast, reassuring Procaliber 9.7 on rough terrain, thanks to its EXO tyres on carbon wheels. Its crystal white gives it a dazzling look.
