Notes: Don?t buy this Trek if you are in search of a true dual suspension bike?it lacks the necessary rear wheel travel. We loved its no-fuss handling and superior climbing skills, but we believe that its feather-light chassis is not laterally rigid enough for aggressive bike handlers. If you are in the market for a no-hassle comfortable ride and a podium cross-country finish, the 400 fits the bill.
