Trek Remedy

Trek has been fully committed to 29er mountain bikes for several years, incorporating the ideas and work of Gary Fisher into their range of models. Longer travel 29ers took a while to develop, but earlier this year they wowed the world with the big-wheeled Remedy. Then immediately followed that with a 650B Remedy. You could get dizzy trying to keep up with the bicycle industry sometimes.

The 140mm has been a popular choice in the UK and the shift towards 650B wheels probably won’t do it any harm. It gets a 67.5-degree head angle and 1131mm wheelbase, and will be available in carbon and alloy versions. So with a 650B and 29er version of the Remedy, which would you choose? I would be amazed if both make it into Trek’s 2015 range.
