This article originally published on BikeRadar

The 2012 Trek Superfly Pro builds on the success of last year's Superfly Elite carbon 29er hardtail, adding an upgraded spec that lops a full pound off the build plus a thru-axle and better tires that improve its overall usability. It's speedier and more fun to ride than before but that extra performance carries with it a hefty price premium.

Ride and handling: excellent G2 geometry, stiff all around

The 2012 Superfly Pro essentially wears the same frame as last year's Elite so, not surprisingly, our list of likes and dislikes carries over, too.

Handling is once again especially sweet given Bontrager's trick G2 fork crown offset and its resultant trail, which mimics that of a 26" bike and generates a particularly light feel up front for a big-wheeler. Close confines at low speed in particular are no problem for the Superfly's nimble personality and we never once felt like we were fighting the front end in any way, even on tight uphill switchbacks.

High-speed handling is reassuringly stable for a dedicated cross-country bike, too, thanks to a smart 69.3-degree head tube angle that retains quick steering without feeling unnervingly twitchy and a low bottom bracket that keeps your center of gravity close to the ground. Coupled with the big wheels, there was generally little drama when mindlessly bombing through rock gardens but that same low bottom bracket will also produce more than a few pedal strikes if you're not mindful.

Given the bike's racing intentions, it's also no surprise that it's dutifully quick under power. Stiff carbon fibers and monstrous tube cross-sections – including Trek's ultra-wide 95mm bottom bracket shell and broadly spaced chain stays – yield a stout backbone and firm foundation for big pedaling efforts. Likewise, very good front triangle torsional rigidity keeps the bars from moving excessively when you're sprinting or climbing out of the saddle.

Add in the bike's impressive 9.66kg (21.30lb, complete, w/o pedals) weight and it's no surprise that the Superfly Pro is a perfect companion for long climbs.

Riding position is similarly race-ready with a puny 103mm-long head tube on our 17.5" tester that produced a suitably low hand position when paired with a slightly negative-rise stem and flat bar.

Though stiff, the Superfly Pro nevertheless still isn't quite as unyieldingly efficient as some other machines we've tested recently. Likewise, ride comfort falls a bit shy of the best examples in the market with a rear end that filters out high-frequency buzz but otherwise doesn't offer much vertical flex to speak of. Trek attempts to ameliorate this with the Superfly Pro's slim 27.2mm-diameter seatpost but even that effort is thwarted by the Bontrager Race X Lite ACC's aluminum core.

Despite this, overall comfort has still improved over last year's Superfly Elite. The new Bontrager 29-1 tires are generously sized at 2.2" across and suitably floaty for all-around trail duty yet still roll extremely quickly thanks to the ramped, low center knobs.

Add in the 15mm thru-axle fork dropouts and the noticeable bump in front-end stiffness relative to last year's open dropouts and the Superfly Pro is not only slightly more comfortable and a bit faster than before but also a more suitable all-around trail machine, too.

Frame: huge cross-sections, wide spacing

In typical fashion, Trek infuses the Superfly Pro with lots of smart engineering but doesn't stray too far from convention in terms of tube shaping.

Key features include a tapered 1 1/8-to-1 1/2" head tube and a 95mm-wide bottom bracket shell – both with molded-in carbon fiber bearing seats – a highly asymmetrical seat tube, carbon dropouts with bolt-in aluminum plates and standard 135mm spacing, especially wide-set chain stays that lend lots of tire clearance, and a bonded-on rubberized plate on the down tube underside to ward off impacts from trail debris – something we made liberal use of on Colorado's notoriously rocky terrain.

Frame weight is impressive though not groundbreaking at 1,340g including the rear derailleur hanger, seatpost collar, water bottle bolts, and chain stay and down tube guards (which aren't easily removable).

Cables are externally routed beneath the top tube for easy maintenance and the front derailleur bolts directly to the seat tube to minimize positioning errors.

Equipment: race ready but still trail friendly

As Trek's flagship cross-country race machine, little expense has been spared dressing up the Superfly Pro frame.

Shift performance from the ultralight SRAM XX group was once again fantastic with uncannily positive and fast front shifts – even under climbing or at low cadence – coupled with impeccably precise and consistent rear shifts. In short, gear changes were simply never something we ever gave a second thought about during testing.

Likewise, the RockShox SID XX 29 fork was well suited for the task with an impressively sturdy chassis, smooth and smartly progressive action through the 100mm stroke, and a well-tuned damper that tackles both trail buzz and bigger hits with equal aplomb. More demanding and complicated sections of trail are still better handled by RockShox's more sophisticated Motion Control BlackBox damper but given the application, we're guessing most users are willing to sacrifice a bit of ride control for the convenient XLoc hydraulic remote lockout lever.

We unfortunately can't heap the same level of praise on the Avid XX brakes. Lever feel, power, modulation, and ergonomics were all excellent but both ends squawked loudly under hard braking – wet or dry, and regardless of pad or rotor condition. Both brakes were at least reliable throughout testing but only after we bled the front straight out of the box.

The vast majority of the included Bontrager kit is excellent, in particular the Race X Lite Carbon Big Sweep flat bar with its comfy 12-degree bend, the comfortable and maneuverable Evoke 4 titanium railed saddle, and the fantastic 29-1 tires with their supple, high-volume casings, fast roll, and surprisingly confident grip in all but marbles and mud.

As we noted last year, though, we'd still prefer to see a different seatpost included as the carbon-wrapped aluminum Race X Lite ACC model is too stiff to take advantage of its small 27.2mm diameter. We traded it out for Bontrager's softer – and lighter – Race XXX Lite all-carbon model and instantly got a big boost in ride comfort.

The included Bontrager Race X Lite FCC wheels are conveniently tubeless-ready (as are the tires, though the requisite rim strips and valve cores annoyingly aren't included with the bike) and they feel both stiff and sturdy enough for genuine trail use, not just race duty. Thankfully, we also never experienced any unnerving pinging and popping from the freehub body that we'd experienced with last year's Bontrager hubs.

However, we still find them to be a little too heavy for a bike of this level, particularly given the premium US$6,829.99/£5,000 asking price.

One place we're happy not to see the Bontrager label at all, however, is on the grips. Last year's foam grips were light but too narrow, prone to rotating on the bar, and uncomfortable. Trek has wisely switched to ESI's silicone foam rubber grips, which are still superlight but far more shock absorbent, grippier in your hands, and far less apt to move. Perhaps the best testament is the fact that even Trek's own Subaru-Trek professional team has used these for years.

Overall, the Trek Superfly Pro is a top-shelf ride and undoubtedly a better bike than the Elite model we tested last year – but then again, it should be considering it's roughly US$2,000 more expensive. It won't be a world beater, however, until it gets nicer wheels, a softer seatpost, and a more refined ride quality.

Trek Superfly 100 AL Elite 29er review

Long-legged, big-wheeled trail cruiser

Russell Burton

Arguably the most significant feature of Trek’s Superfly 100 AL Elite is tucked away behind the seat tube. It’s a Gary Fisher signature decal, signifying that this bike is, in genesis at least, the inspiration of one of mountain biking’s founding fathers – and the inventor of the 29er concept.

The AL Elite props up the bottom of the five-strong, 29in-wheeled Superfly 100 range, offering a trail-worthy spec at a price that just creeps over the magic £2k barrier. Great handling, sorted suspension performance, decent components and epic mud clearance make for big-wheeled trail fun. The Trek looks a tiny bit pricey compared to some of the competition, though.

Ride & handling: Fast rolling, great handling trail machine that’ll tackle anything you can throw at it

Big wheels only really look in proportion when they’re connected to a big frame. So our 17.5in test bike, in common with most 29ers around this size, has that slightly disconcerting effect of looking… well, not quite right at first glance. It’s only because we’re all used to smaller wheels, and we only mention it because that ‘not quite right’ feeling disappears the moment you climb aboard the Trek and turn the pedals.

From just-so weight distribution to a wheelbase that’s pretty much the identical twin of 26in-wheeled competitors and a front wheel that goes where you want it to, the Superfly 100 will have uninitiated riders forgetting about the big wheels within the first few minutes. Which is, when you think about it, about the biggest compliment we can pay it. Get on, ride, and enjoy the easy-rolling nature of 29er wheels.

Fox shocks with a high compression damping tune can make a bike feel constipated over small bumps. Not here. The big wheels certainly help, but the Superfly’s suspension remains supple and controlled on everything from technical climbs to flat-out descents. If we were to split hairs, we’d suggest that the front end is a tiny bit slower to respond in fast-changing situations, but that’s the laws of physics for you – more rotating mass, further from the centre of the wheel. There’s nothing anyone – not even Gary Fisher himself – can do about that.

Big wheels with 100mm of travel translate into fast, efficient and comfortable mile-munching. We’ve known that for a while, but what the Superfly 100 does so well is to iron out all the little niggles that have beset earlier attempts at big wheeled full-suspension nirvana. The geometry works, the handling is excellent, the weight is reasonable in an unexceptional kind of a way and there’s even decent mud clearance. Is it the best 29er full-susser available? No. But it’s well worth putting on your shortlist.

Frame & equipment: We wish the frame finish was a bit neater, particularly around the welded areas

Cramming big wheels into a bike offering 100mm of travel at each end isn’t straightforward. There’s less space for most components, a greater need to pay attention to geometry and a number of stiffness-related issues to deal with. Trek’s design team have been sweating the details, resulting in a frame that’s bristling with mostly subtle design solutions.

Fitting the frame tubes into the available space is arguably one of their less successful achievements, the conjoined top and down tubes necessitating large – and, it has to be said, not particularly tidy – welds. Never mind that, though, because all the functional stuff has been taken care of.

Trek’s Active Braking Point (ABP) pivot – which places the chainstay pivot around the hub’s rear axle – is here in versatile ‘Convert’ form, meaning that the standard 135x5mm rear axle can be switched to a stiffer, lighter 142x12mm design at a later date. A Bontrager-designed hub with widened, bigger diameter flanges and larger dropout contact area performs the same job up front.

The Superfly 100’s fork uses a crown with increased offset, which reduces trail (the distance between the front tyre’s contact point on the ground and the point where a straight line through the centre of the head tube also meets the ground) and sharpens steering responses, countering the 29er tendency to be slow-handling in the turns. Carefully shaped stays wrap cleverly around the rear tyre, giving this bike the best mud clearance we’ve yet seen on a big wheeled machine.

In common with many full-suspension designs the Superfly 100 struggles to accommodate a pair of standard bottle cage bosses. There’s one set in the usual place on top of the down tube but the second set has been shunted into a position right in line with the spray off the front wheel, under the down tube. You could put a bottle there, but you probably wouldn’t want to.

A Fox Float RP2 shock matches the fork nicely and clip-on sag indicators make the job of getting the right air pressure front and rear straightforward. Predominantly Shimano SLX-based components work well and should prove reliable and Bontrager finishing kit is all top-notch, although we’d swap the tyres for something with more grip if you ride a lot in wet conditions.

Trek Superfly 29er Hardtail

Superfly is THE choice for the aficionado seeking the fastest, most advanced, best 29er out there.

• USER REVIEWS

Great geometry. Fast, fun and flickable. Good component spec's on the 2014 version. Bontrager components are surprisingly good. Very sensible overall component specs. Love the blue and white.

White seat on a mountain bike? Who's idea was that? Grips are a little firm.

Really great bike. I test rode Cannondales, Spec's, Jamis and a number of others. I loved the ride and handling of this bike. The slacker front geometry takes out the twitchyness I noticed with several bikes. Decent bottom bracket height and good overall proportions. I just could not believe how fast I was on this bike.

Light and fast

Wheels shipped with the bike we're defective needed to be replace after 2nd ride, Trek has yet to reply, frame / seat post also have an issue remaining secure dangerous. Again Trek has yet to reply, seems they have numerous defects with Superfly... I in the market for a new bike not a Trek.

To many great bike on the market to deal with this nonsense.

Light, Fast, Cushioned ride for a 29er hardtail, looks good

Head tube design. The non integrated head tube design is weak and the lower cups separated on my frame.

Set some really fast lap times on the local dirt tracks on this bike. The bike is fast, nimble, and comfortable to ride for those 30-40 miles trail rides. I rode the bike from around 500 trail miles, in 6 months and started noticing a noise in the head tube, we kept tightening the stem/ headset thinking there was and issue there, however during a ride the steerer tube failed...NOT SAFE. The lower cup of the head tube cracked and lost its integrity and caused the whole tube to move forward and backward several millimeters. Took it to the bike shop I bought it from and Trek sent a warranty frame two days later. Not the same color but it will do. They replaced with a 2013 superfly comp frame...which I am concerned may have the same issue down the line... The new 2014 frame remedy's this issue with a integrated design. Hopefully I do not have to warranty this again, as it takes 2-3 weeks to get everything taken care of, and this bike is addicting if I have the need for speed on the trail! Overall I am happy with the purchase and do feel good with Trek and their warranties.

Fast, light, X9 parts have been bomb proof and always work well. Rims have held up very well despite limited online info for "29er mustang rims". 2x10 works well with the bike Color scheme is sexy

Fork - CTD (I'm missing the complete lockout from my other bike) and no remote = sketchy DH if you forget to change from C to D. Don't bother reaching to flip the switch on the fly. You will FAIL and fall! Maybe.... Seat - a 2-3 hour max ride time for me; have switched over to my old fizik nisene and has made a huge difference. Brakes get HOT!

All around, a great bike, and a lot of fun to get back on a hardtail. The 29 wheels make it a lot less abusive for your back and legs (ie -your suspension system). It feels fast, and I have no trouble keeping up with my xc racer friends on FS bikes , until the DH gets really technical...but I bet I have more fun. The frame has been through some seriously hard terrain (5 hour fast XC rides through the heart of kananaskis country) with no issues at all. I'll be converting everything to tubeless soon, for a little more plushness. If you want to be on a carbon hardtail, and can't afford the really nice rigs (ie Santa Cruz Highball), this is a great bike with components that are decent enough to work well almost all of the time.

Light, Fast, carves, compliant (for a carbon HT), climbing, made me forget all about my Fuel 9.9

not cheap; made me forget about my Fuel 9.9

First off, don't believe the bad reviews about Trek's products or warranty, every company has one-off/limited customer service nightmares. Trek stands behind their products, and their products are good. I weigh almost 200 lbs, and all of my Trek carbon bikes (Madone 5.2, Fuel Ex9.9, Superfly Comp) have held up to thousands of miles of (ab)use without unexpected failure. The ONLY issue I had with any of them was the 2011 SF frame cracking at the front der mount (well documented flaw).I knew it when I bought the bike and bought it regardless of the risk BECAUSE OF THEIR WARRANTY.Trek replaced the frame WITHOUT QUESTION with a 2013 Superfly Carbon Comp frame ACTUAL BIKE REVIEW: I loved the 2011 Superfly (the one that broke) so much that I never rode my Fuel after the second ride on the SF. Then I rode my Fuel a lot while waiting to get my replacement frame, and after a trip to Sedona in NOV, I almost regretted buying the Superfly. Once I got the replacement frame built back up, I forgot all about my Fuel for a second time. The new frame rides so nice that I NEVER take the Fuel out of the garage, not even for a return trip to Sedona this JAN. That alone is a reflection of how great this bike is...I CHOSE to take a carbon hardtail to Sedona instead of taking a top of the line carbon FS bike, and this wasn't a trip for easy trails/hill climbing, this was for the technical trails down to Buddha Beach and other fun, rocky, technical sections. I cannot praise the ride of the Superfly enough. It is totally responsive to steering and body english, puts the power down incredibly well, and really does climb and descend faster than my Fuel (so says Strava). RECOMMENDED for avid riders/xc racers looking for a high performance bike. Must be willing to sacrifice a little comfort to get that extra zip. Perfect match for someone who wants a great cross country bike that can handle a bit of the technical stuff courtesy of the larger wheel diameter. NOT RECOMMENDED for a recreational rider who wants something comfortable to goof around on. Fuel EX8 is a far better choice for an all purpose bike for the recreational rider. Sort of about the bike (29 vs 26 debate): Being a hard tail, the Superfly is clearly not as plush as the Fuel, but it is still a comfortable ride once your ditch the stock seat post/saddle (I went with an EC90/Sella Italia SLR and LOVE IT). The larger diameter wheels help take some of the edge off, and regardless of terrain, I am absolutely comfortable on demanding 25+ mile rides. I debated for a long time before making the jump to a 29er, but after talking a friend into getting one, I had to get one for myself. I immediately noticed that it rolls smoother and is a bit more stable at speed vs my 26er. While it may give up some handling to a 26er hardtail (geometry), I can rail it through tight single track segments FASTER than my Fuel. On all but the toughest technical areas, it really does flow better. While a 26er HT may be more flickable and agile, from past experience, they are no where near as comfortable. If you are a serious rider (see my recommendation above) and can only have one mtn bike (oh the humanity), 29er HT is your best bang for the buck. Not really about the bike (Trek Red Shield): One perk to riding Treks is the Red Shield program. Adds a bit up front, but I have yet to pay for repairs on any of my Treks. Fork leaking, take it in for free...brakes acting up, yup, take it in for free. I wrench my own bikes for simple things, but I like the peace of mind that comes from having what amounts to an extended warranty that covers MOST of what can go wrong.

-Mt. Shasta Pechanga Comp (cro-mo), my first real mtn bike, rigid, then upgraded to an Antigravity susp fork with Power Grip pedals (long ago) -Giant HT (aluminum), first built up as a light weight geared bike (Mavic 217s, XT cranks, Sid Race fork, XTR v-brakes, etc...), then morphed into a go anywhere/do anything single speed (one of my favorite bikes...Crossmax wheels, Bomber 5" front end, avid bb7 discs) -2002 Specialized S-works FSR XC- stock -2008 Trek Fuel EX8- stock -2009 Trek Fuel EX 9.9- stock, though some parts swapped to new Superfly

Weight, handling, geometry, stiffness

Cracked two Superfly frames so far that were claimed to be manufacturing defects. Sure it's great that they warrantied them but I won't have much confidence in the new frame either.

Bought the 2009 Superfly back when it was still Gary Fisher to replace my full suspension Trek Top Fuel. Loved everything about the bike! The G2 geometry really is great. Then it cracked between the headset and down tube. They said this was a common issue on that frame and warrantied it. They sent me the 2011 Trek Superfly frame. Many of the components, most notably the fork, were not compatible so more cash out of pocket. Once it was built up it was actually better then the 2009! Felt stiffer and the steering was just a tad more relaxed. The bad news, now the 2011 frame has just cracked at the front derailleur mount as mentioned in these other reviews. The Trek rep again said that this was a known issue with this frame and that they would warranty it. LBS told me that the replacement frame will be here in a week and that it would be the 2013 carbon Superfly Comp frame. I pointed at the 2013 Superfly Pro SL on the website and inquired why I wouldn't be getting the latest and greatest like they sent last time. He chuckled and said those frames will never see the light of day. Too many issues with the frames breaking.

The frame and general handling

Reliability: The bike is one year old: Rear brakes had to be replaced, front brakes replaced. Three times broken spokes. The shock start to leak. Sand and mud in the bottom bracket.

Trek Superfly 2012 Well as you can see, the bike has been braking a lot down. But I had it for 8 months before it started to brake down. So it was running fine, and im using it a lot. The dealer is fantastic, thank god. The handling is fantastic, and I love the bike.

Overall a very solid ride. Easily manages advanced terrain and transitions well to road with the lockout.

Alot of broken parts. I bought the 2013 version when it came out in early August and have rode it through October, so alittle less than three months. During this time I had four rear wheel flats and one front wheel, broken lockout switch, back tire wouldn't stay true and warrantied, and a bunch of minor glitches that have been worked out. So, probably around ten visits to the bike shop (once a week.) This was a huge frustration, but since the back tire warrantied and I got an upgrade instead I have had zero problems. Also for context, I biked around 40 miles of moderate trail riding a week. I'd say a two flats could be on me, but most were pinch flats. The rest of the problems were definitely on the bike mostly the Bontraeger rim and wheels.

Though I had a lot of problems in the beginning I am still in love with this bike. It is too fun to get rid of despite the money and time sink it has become. Hopefully next season I will have better luck because I'm a better rider and parts were replaced. Buy this bike for cross-country around urban environments such as river trails.

None, apparently wood sticks in the forest are stronger than the frame according to the engineer at TREK! LMFAO

Bike broke 1 week before leaving for the Tour Divide Race. Bike had only ~500 miles on it no scratches or wrecks. TREK could not get me a new bike in time so I was forced to buy a new bike. I bought the Salsa Mariachi Ti and it is the best bike I have ever owned which I rode in the Tour Divide this year. After TREK denied my warranty claim I was pretty ticked off. I made a few phones calls to TREK and talked to one of their engineers that actually looked at the bike. He said that it was an impact probably from a stick. I asked him how a stick was stronger than their frame and he couldn't give me a real answer, instead he compared it to the force of straw flying through the air in a tornado. Pretty retarded answer dude, I have taken enough physics to understand a real answer. Also I got screwed over because I was told that TREK has great warranties and policies only to be screwed over by them one out more than 2000 dollars and almost without a bike for a race that costs thousands of dollars. Anyways I will never buy a TREK bike again. They constantly break. And I will never recommend their bikes to anyone in fact I will work at destroying their reputation one customer at a time.

None, weakest bike I have ever owned. Wood sticks in the forest are stronger than this bike according to the Engineer @ TREK BIKES! LMFAO

Weak frame, horrible warranty.
