Trek Factory Racing rides Remedy 29 Carbon to Enduro World Series lead

Trek Factory Racing continues to dominate the 2014 Enduro World Series after this past weekend’s event in Valloire, France as the series’ top ranked overall team, overall women’s leader (Tracy Moseley), second place overall in the men’s division (Justin Leov), and a third place finish for Rene Wildhaber. The positive results build upon last year’s success which saw Trek take the Series’ overall team classification and Tracy Moseley take the overall women’s category.

Both Moseley and Leov have garnered their impressive results on a recently announced new bike, the Trek Remedy 29 Carbon, racing the new 140mm OCLV Carbon 29er at the past two EWS events. In both events, Moseley would ride to the top step of the podium while her teammate Leov rode to a second place finish in the Series’ Scotland event and was on his way to a potential win at Valloire before an untimely flat tire dashed that notion.

“Oh so close this weekend! From a thirty eight second lead with two stages to go, to a puncture and two minutes down,” said a dejected Justin Leov. “I could only get back on the bike and go for the final stage win as a consolation. It’s great to see Tracy’s consistency continue and I’m stoked to see Rene get his first EWS podium!”

The new Trek Remedy 29 Carbon follows the 2013 release of the popular alloy Remedy 29. The new Remedy 29 Carbon OCLV frame sheds over a pound of weight from the bike which also employs a new rear hub interface, Boost148. The 148mm rear hub spacing strengthens the rear wheel and allows for more tire clearance all while fitting larger chainrings optimized for enduro.

While positioned as a trail bike, the Remedy 29 is adept at conquering a variety of terrain. Its capable nature mixed with a lively efficiency is proving to be a winning combination at the top level of enduro.

The Remedy 29 Carbon and Boost148 were recently unveiled to select members of the global bike media at Trek’s springtime media camp.

The Remedy 29 Carbon will be available to the public late July 2014 exclusively through Trek’s global retail network. More information on the Remedy 29 Carbon will be available closer to its release.
