Trek Procaliber 9.5 Dark Star: a Fox fork on a carbon frame

Who is it for?

For the XC mountain biker who values steering precision and fork behaviour on technical descents, and wants a carbon frame without committing to a race build. It is well suited to riders on rocky trails like those of the Caroux.

The LVR workshop view

OCLV Mountain carbon, the off-road version. OCLV is Trek's in-house carbon process: the fibre sheets are compacted under heat and pressure to eliminate micro-voids. The Mountain version is tuned to withstand mountain bike impacts rather than chase the last gram, and the frame benefits from Trek's lifetime warranty. On the Procaliber, it comes with IsoBow: the seatstays extend beyond the seat tube, giving vertical compliance at the rear while saving weight overall.

	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 9.5: 12.73 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 Procaliber 9.5 keeps the carbon frame and Deore drivetrain, but adopts a Fox Rhythm 34 fork with Float EVOL spring and GRIP cartridge. Trek quotes 12.73 kg in M, 600 g above the Judy Gold version: the gain is measured in fork behaviour rather than lightness.

The Fox Rhythm 34 uses the chassis of Fox's 34 range, with 34 mm stanchions and a 15 mm Kabolt axle that tightens without a protruding lever. The GRIP cartridge offers a three-position lever: open for descending, middle for smooth tracks, firm for accelerating on tarmac.

The 170 mm Shimano MT520 cranks from S to ML become 175 mm in L and XL, and the 32-tooth chainring turns a 10-51 cassette. The carbon frame's 92 mm PressFit bottom bracket needs careful fitting: in the workshop, we check it to prevent any creaking.

Which Procaliber should you choose?

Model	Frame	Drivetrain	Fork	Weight (M)
Procaliber 8 (Eagle 70)	Alpha Platinum alloy	SRAM Eagle 70 T-Type 1x12	Recon Gold 120 mm	13.73 kg
Procaliber 9.5 (Fox Rhythm)	OCLV Mountain, IsoBow	Shimano Deore 1x12	Fox Rhythm 34, 120 mm	12.73 kg
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

Our take: compared with the Judy Gold fork version (12.13 kg), this 9.5 weighs 600 g more but gains a more precise Fox 34. The 9.6 adds the 130 mm Fox Factory and Eagle 70 for 12.38 kg.

LVR sizing advice

If you are between two sizes, the smaller gives a more playful bike on technical descents, the larger a more stretched-out position for long climbs. The cranks go from 170 to 175 mm in L and XL, and the dropper post from 100 to 170 mm depending on the frame.

Size	S	M	ML	L	XL
Rider height (cm)	155-165	165-177	173-180	177-188	188-195
Inseam (cm)	74-78	79-83	81-86	84-89	89-91
Cranks (mm)	170	170	170	175	175
Handlebar / stem (mm)	720 / 50	750 / 60	750 / 60	750 / 70	750 / 80
Dropper post (travel, mm)	100	150	150	150	170

Your questions

Fox Rhythm or Factory?	The Rhythm shares the Factory's chassis, with a simpler cartridge and no Kashima coating.
How do I set up the fork?	Air pressure according to your weight, then rebound: we do the set-up with you at handover.
Does the PressFit bottom bracket creak?	Not when properly fitted; we check it at every workshop service.
Does the black show the dirt?	It shows dry dust a little, but looks good again after a simple rinse.

The LVR Cycles verdict

A Procaliber 9.5 that relies on the quality of its fork, to attack technical descents with more confidence. Its deep Dark Star black gives it an understated, sharp look.

Pros
+ Fox Rhythm 34 fork with GRIP cartridge
+ IsoBow carbon frame
+ Understated, timeless black

Cons
- 600 g more than the Judy Gold version
- PressFit bottom bracket to keep an eye on
