Trek Superfly 9.6 review

Race bike building pedigree puts this 29er in a good position

Russell Burton

Guy Kesteven

Trek has been building carbon race bikes for longer than any other major brand and the Superfly 9.6 uses its latest OCLV composite chassis to provide a great base for upgrading. It’s not a forgiving bike out of the box though.

• Highs: Direct, upgradeable carbon frame with sound stop/go kit and suspension
• Lows: Heavy wheels, tiny tyres and stiff frame make it hard to gain and hold speed through rough sections
• Buy if: You want a direct, but occasionally brutal race bike

Frame and equipment: all about the chassis

The frame is definitely the draw here, as the state of the art OCLV Mountain composite structure is the result of nearly 20 years of evolution. It’s not particularly light (around 1200g) but it’s seriously stiff and gets rubberised belly protection for long term survival.

The OCLV Mountain frame of the Superfly is loaded with impressive practical details, including swappable rear dropouts

Trek – or specifically its then sub brand Gary Fisher – was also the first major company to put its weight behind 29er wheels over a decade ago. That makes it unsurprising that it’s still fully committed to bigger wheels for bigger speed applications. Superfly wheel selection is size-specific though – the smallest 15.5in frame gets a 27.5in wheel option. Accurate sizing is definitely a strong point of Trek, with three rather than two frames in the most popular mid-size band.

Ride and handling: pin-sharp but punishing

With a curved seat tube to give short chainstays and put body weight further back and custom offset G2 geometry the Superfly steering feels particularly light and nimble even when jumping onto it straight from a 650b ride. The 15mm axle adds accurate feedback to the fork tips, though a straight steerer with oversized lower bearing rather than a true tapered steerer design dilutes some of the advantage.

The carbon framed Superfly 9.6 is kitted identically to the alloy Superfly 7, but is a significantly more punishing ride

If you’re expecting the usual floated ride of a carbon 29er though, you’ll be in for a shock. The Bontrager Expert grade tyres are more wooden in feel than the aftermarket Team versions and despite 2.2in labelling they’re under 2in wide and 1.75in high. That means they roll fast on smooth surfaces, but deliver a battering ride in the rough. The heavy rear wheel also made the Trek noticeably slow to accelerate even with the small volume tyres. Even with a skinny 27.2mm seatpost and slim seatstays to add flex the frame is firm. That’s great for power transfer but medium sized roots, ruts and rocks delivered proper body blows when trying to power through them at low speeds. The tyres and frame meant the quick steering G2 front end got knocked off line easily on techy sections and bar feel was far from ideal in comfort terms.

There’s some improvement if you turn the tyres tubeless, but we only started to get the skim and float we expected from a carbon big wheeler when we switched to more supple, larger volume tyres.

This is inherently a bike that takes no prisoners. If you can’t afford to upgrade later – or want a smoother ride – then the alloy frame of the identically specced Superfly 7 impressed when we tested it last year.

2016 Trek Superfly 9.6

• Add to quote

Just Purchased this bike last week….. and it " should " be ready for pick up on friday the 28th. I guess there were only 4 of these here in the U.S… and they are all on the east coast so been waiting patiently. hahaha yea right. Going with Specialized flat pedals, ESI chunky grips, RCT3 A3 upgrade for Shox. And also considering switching to Saguaro tires since i've had good results with them in the past. Oh, and of course tubeless…….. Depending how it rides for me will determine what other upgrades i'll make in the near future. This'll be my 1st carbon frame so just wondering what others are using to protect the down tube? The SF 9.6 does already come with a plastic plate on the bottom of the down tube but it is somewhat short. I've heard helicopter tape or something along those lines will protect from minor scuffs and what not. so what are y'all using to protect your frames? I plan on mostly doing XC runs out here in the desert where there are tons of jagged rocks on parts of the trails so i'd like to take whatever precaution necessary to protect my new baby. Anyhow, i'll be sure to take pics once she's in my hands. Thanks all in advance…..  

This stuff has saved my frame (2014 carbon remedy) on several occasions: http://www.amazon.com/Effetto-Mariposa-Shelter-Frame-Protection/dp/B007W2C9UI Add the Shelter protection to the downtube... Especially under the bottom bracket. I can't tell you how many rocks I've kicked up or bounced into that area. I also tend to add stickers around the head tube where cable rub is likely. I had a trunk mount car rack that beat the ship out the top tube clear coat... so there's that.  

Thanks for the link…. looks like it's much thicker then helicopter tape. I'll be sure to order some. The bike is still in transit … so it looks like the new ETA is either this Monday or Tuesday. Sucks, because I was really looking forward to riding this weekend. Especially since I sold my other bike last week. lol Oh well…just a couple more days to go.  

Besides the RCT3 check under the air cap for a couple bottomless tokens. The end of stroke progression you get lets you run less air pressure, around 80 or so. The Expert tires are only really about 1.75". They cut down the frame compliance.  

My 9.7 has a big plastic downtube protector. Works fine. Great bike.  

Hey eb1888…sorry I didn't completely understand your post above…...so your saying that I should also purchase a couple of bottomless tokens to go with the RCT3 upgrade? And yes, I did notice the "expert" tires were skinnier then the Saguaros I used to ride on. I was considering just trying out the Experts for a few weeks to give them a fair chance... but honestly, my gut is saying to just upgrade those too and to not mess around with the experts. Zippinveedub, yea, my 9.6 also has a plastic tube protector ….. but i'm not convinced that that will do a thorough job on protecting the underbelly of the bike since I am going to be riding all the time here in the high desert where jagged rocks are the norm. Again, i know i'm being overly cautious… and that's why I wanted to hear what others here had to say on the subject.  

I'm saying ask or check to see if the bottomless tokens are included with the Reba on the 9.6. Two are supplied installed on the 9.8 SID. If you don't have them the standard part is a 5 piece bag for about $14. They are an inexpensive performance upgrade. I push the bike a lot so I've gone to three. If you have a higher(or actually normal) volume tire that works in your locale, I'd put it on at the start.  

My 2015 Slash 9.9 came with a beefy downtube protector. I ordered a spare, assuming I would chew through it pretty fast. I ride some pretty nasty, rocky trails and I have had zero problems. The spare is still sitting on the shelf.  

Finally!!!!! Bike will be ready for pick up tomorrow morning………. Man, it's been hell waiting, but i know it is going to be worth it! Pics coming soon~  

Finally! Going to be taking her out on a 26 mile loop tomorrow morning. Already i am considering a shorter stem than the 100mm thats on there now…and also a longer carbon bar. oh, and maybe a new saddle…..but we'll see after i put some miles on her. But I am digging the red ESI chunky bar grips compared to the lock grips they had.

Glad you like it! I've got my XL setup with an 80stem and 700 bars and it fits well. They're great bikes. Doing my first hundo on it this weekend! Enjoy it.  

What size? Looks like a nice bike. Short stem and wide bars is definitely the way to go. SF HTs are great at climbing and you will love it.  

Great looking bike!  

Thanks guys….. I'm loving it so far. Went out again this morning to "Re-Test" the new stem / Bar combo I just got the day prior, and about half way through my ride, I noticed that my hands kept wanting to slide closer to the center of the bar maybe about an inch or so to have that perfect comfort level….so, the 780mm just felt a tad too long for me and felt as if though I still had the 100mm stem on as it had me reaching forward too much so went back to LBS after my ride and had them hack off enough to make them 740mm. Now they are absolutely perfect. I may still try an 80stem later down the road but for now, I believe my bike is finally dialed. Getting ready for a 35 mile ride this sunday and possibly another 26 mile on monday depending how I feel from sunday's ride. lol Zippen….good luck with your hundo. i'm def. not ready for one of those yet but one day soon.  

Rained here a lot on Saturday because of the Monsoons, so we decided not to go Sunday and go out Monday instead. Did a total of about 28 miles…. fell twice. I definitely need to work on my turning skills on rocky switchbacks . my front wheel kept wanting to slide out from under me. possibly too much air…i'm running 29psi on tubeless…. next time I will make sure it is much lower then that so I can hopefully get some better traction on those tight curves and corners. And on the other hand….it could just be these damn Bont. XR2's. looking into new tires now.  

Well, since three weeks ago I have…… switched tires from the stock Bont. XR2's and decided to go with a Continental Mountain King 2.4 on front and X-King 2.2 on rear. Upgraded my saddle to a WTB "speed" Switched out the 90mm stem for an 80mm And finally, yesterday I went down and picked up a pair of Shimano SPD's …..which I absolutely LOVE!!! So happy I made the switch from flats….huge improvement going over techy terrain. my feet "Stay" planted and I am no longer constantly trying to reposition my footing. Also…..decided to ditch the saddle bag and got myself an Osprey Raptor 6 hydration pack and find it to be much much better then having all that stuff rattling around underneath me.  

You can run lower pressure than 29 front unless you get rim hits. I like 30mm ID rim wheels for much better cornering grip with no foldover washouts. You get more sidewall support and can run about 4-5 lower psi pressure because of the added volume. Makes for better climbing traction too.  

R.I.P. Superfly……. Fell over on a huge rock and cracked the seat stay on the frame……. sad sad day for me. LBS is going to see what they can do…..if anything.  

Argh, that sucks man. Hardly even a month in.  

Wow how did you fall? I've had a SF 9.8 for two years and I've beaten the crap out of it and blown several sets of wheels but the frame just keeps on going. That's too bad. Hopefully something can get worked out for you.  

The way I fell was so lame….. I actually wish I had a cool story to tell you. I was riding both the Robles and Starpass Loops yesterday morning ….and well, there's a trail that connects the two loops together called Cat Mountain Trail Cat Mountain Trail Mountain Bike Trail, Tucson Estates, Arizona CMT is very technical in certain areas with LOTS of jagged rocks everywhere. There was one area that had a steep climb and I managed to get up and over it but the back tire spun out at the top. So after I got my breath and was ready to go again, I had my right foot on a huge jagged rock and my left foot was clipped in…I went to push off and my front wheel got caught between two rocks and I started to tip over to the right…..my right foot tried to reach for that jagged rock I tried to push off of but missed and I ended up doing a little bit of the splits and the bike suffered all the weight between me and the rock. I guess the rock was sharp and jagged enough to crack the frame. I actually didn't know it was cracked and rode the rest of my ride that day …then after some more pondering I decided to take it to the LBS to have them look it over and after they did they determined that it was in fact cracked. They did mention that they were going to try and help me out so we'll see what happens from here. If I have to buy another frame ……… I might have to wait until after January before I can afford another investment like this. Just F'n sucks!!!  

Found a place in California called Calfeedesigns.com that can repair my carbon frame. Will cost me around $250 and comes with a 10 year warranty! Looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel after all!  

Cool. I'm in Australia and even I've heard of Calfree. They're a pretty safe bet and that's a pretty good price, you should go for it.  

Sweet!!!! I actually found someone local who does Carbon repair…..will cost half the price as Calfee. Pics coming soon!

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
