DESCRIPTION
The Trek Session 8 is a downhill mountain bike with a burly alloy frame and high-pivot suspension that keeps you nimble, planted and blazing fast on the most punishing runs. It runs 200 mm of travel front and rear, with a RockShox Boxxer fork and Marzocchi Bomber coil shock, powerful SRAM CODE 4-piston brakes and a SRAM GX DH 7-speed drivetrain.
