![]() ![]() ![]() It was a shame since the bike was so excellent in terms of appearance, spec, and price. The changes ended up being a welcome relief as the Cronus CX, which I rode two seasons ago, was “temperamental” in terms of handling, thanks to toe overlap on even the larger sizes and a long trail number and resulting tendency to wheel flop. The Crockett was developed with Compton’s input and was a complete redesign of Trek’s prior cyclocross geometry featured on the Cronus line of bikes. So before we saw the Boone, there was the Crockett. When that bike was released, the first thing cyclocross racers said was, “put that thing on a ‘cross bike,” referring to the excellent IsoSpeed decoupler. The Boone was a few years in the making, going all the way back to the Domane road bike. It was the second year Katie Compton was riding for them and her second year to take the women’s UCI World Cup title on a Trek, they were signing the sport’s biggest name and greatest ambassador, Sven Nys-maybe the worst-kept secret in pro cycling-that would see him ride both Trek and Bontrager products starting January 1, 2014, it was the second year for the Trek Cyclocross Collective their own homegrown team, and they released the much anticipated Boone cyclocross bike. ![]() This cyclocross season was a big one for Trek. But with the recent Holey Roller gravel grinder and upcoming Castell Grind, talking cyclocross bikes in Spring makes perfect sense. It’s too early to be talking cyclocross bikes. ![]()
