Trek Procaliber SL Build

[@roneysilveira7606]

Hi, last April I assembly myself exactly same frame, with Deore XT 1-12 having carbon wheels with DT180 hubs, total weight including crank brothers pedals are 19,1 pounds (8,7 kgs). I am very happy 😃

[@laurentduval7025]

This is awesome, greetings

[@helge11293]

Last year built up my pro caliber sl. Was around the 8kg mark. Awesome bike. Building up a new one this year not as light as the last one. But very inspired by your build.

[@kbesner]

Hey could you detail out your build?? Thx!

[@Wfuntime3]

Thanks for showing the brake install. I need to shorten mine and hope not have to bleed them. 👌 absolute beauty of a build 🤘

[@bicyclestation]

Its possible. Just be careful

[@GokkunGuru]

I love hardtails and this build is amazing. Love the components and the RSL theme. Sub 10kg club. Love the carbon cranks and AXS.

[@bicyclestation]

Thanks!

[@morethanbikes]

Proper build! Stoked you are stocking with some bontager parts, they are so good.

[@bicyclestation]

They are amazing.

[@jaredjackson8097]

Clean build. Done right.

[@joeydirty6112]

Nice build! I had a 17 SL m/l and traded it for a same year Top Fuel, I moved from Rochester to Holly so Grubers is 2 miles away and tough for a H/T. Well I missed it so much I bought the same frame in a L, had it built XTR, XT rear cassette, the XTR cassette robots are trash and came loose. New design Kovee Pros, same seat post and bars, SID fork, XR2 2.2 tires. It’s right about 20.6 lbs. lights bike I’ve ever had. The XTR shifting is above sram IMO and I like you can down shift by pulling not pushing. I had the new style frame built before this one and didn’t like the way it handled, probably cause it was a m/l. I love this one! And BTW, just order a 23 Farley 9.6 and ordered Whiskey Flat Carbon bars, Bontrager Pro Carbon seat post, Stylo Carbon fat cranks and Bontrager Wampa wheelset! Making it a 9.8! 👊🏼 My favorite bike it my 21 Supercaliber 9.9, that’s a rocket!

[@apostoloskarathanasis5981]

Hi nice builds ! I’m ready to pick one 9.7 2024 m/l and I’m 1,80cm tall 120kg! What’s you height and you moved to larg ? Thanks.

[@joeydirty6112]

@ 5’10” with 31” inseam, so I’m between a M/L and L. I feel faster in a L Hardtail and M/L FS. I just picked up a 24 Supercaliber 9.9 XO last year in a M/L and continue to get PRs!

Great vid! really like your bulds, everything is made of top components and aesthetic :D I've got procaliber 2019 9.7 upgraded to XT groupset, carbon SRAM X0 Crank and carbon bontrager pro habdlebar and stem on carbon kovee wheels and now after this biud i am thinging about upgrade to SRAM GX AXS :D HT are very versatile and fun

[@fewkilometersaday]

amazing build buddy.. kind of my future dream

[@bicyclestation]

Thanks!

[@mrnobody9821]

That's light considering it has a power meter, pedals and two bottle cages when you weighed it. I would say though, SID SL ultimate may have given you a lower weight and perhaps a slightly different choice in tires may see you drop below the 20lbs mark. Alternatively take the orange paint off the forks and polish it, it will look awesome and be lighter lol.

[@bicyclestation]

I actually ended swapping to the sl. With light tires and the sl it’s 18

Great build bro. I think Procaliber frame tends to be heavy. I ride a Procaliber 9.6 and i'm very happy with it!

[@bicyclestation]

Its because of the iso speed, Ive enjoyed having it tho so I think its a net positive.

[@bobwells1517]

Nice build. 20lbs with pedals and cages is more than respectable. Love bbinfinite; perfect solution to manufacturer stupidity.

It could go lighter but then it wouldn't be as fun to ride. Same! we sell them to everyone

Hello where can I buy a mount for my RSL handlebar of my TrekSupercaliber like yours for a Garmin 1040

[@johnreyintia1482]

Wowwwwww.. Great built!

[@michaelsmrcka5753]

I have the same frame as well, but I wonder about the headtube angle and how newer xc hardtail frames are coming out with a slacker angle. Did you have any second thoughts about buying an older model for this reason, or was it not an issue for you? If to you the head angle is not a concern, why is it not a concern? Asking because I easily give in to new trends and need a good reason to stick with my frame! 😃

[@bicyclestation]

So on the bleeding edge the slacker head angle is probably faster. I like slacker Xc bikes. But trek doesn’t make one that’s really lightweight enough. Honestly the supercaliber made hardtails kinda obsolete in their lineup. This model is modern enough and isn’t gonna hold anyone back.

[@NRCycling]

I bought one of the newer generation Procalibers, the 9.5 but upgraded from Deore to XTR, Bontrager Carbon wheels, Kogel Ceramic BB, Pro Tharsis, and Pirelli XCRC tires. Got it from 26 to 22 lbs. I think if you put lighter bottle cages on that, that’d get it under 20?!

[@bicyclestation]

I don’t think there are lighter bottle cages. These are titanium ones

[@gauravsawn]

So beautiful

Total weight with pedals 19.8lbs amazing bike!!! My only concern is that IsoSpeed tends to have some play & makes knocking noise when I rock the seatpost. Not noticeable when riding but bugs the heck out of me. Any way to fix that? I bought 2nd hand from so probably not covered by warranty…

You can service it. Might just need new bearings.

[@welovecastingspells]

do you think you could make it sub 20 with carbon cages? the ones you used look heavy. otherwise, super clean build. wish the procaliper was still light

They stopped making the superlight weight frame. So now its just the standard carbon one. I think it rides great. Its definitely still a hardtail tho.

I also really like the combination of handlebars and stem. I measure 170 cm and the size of the frame is M. Would you advise me with the width of the handlebars? On TREKBikes I noticed that they only sell 750 and 820 mm. What did you choose for your building? Greetings from the Czech Republic 🙂
