Spotted on the Instagram feed of Trek sponsored professional racer Megan Pura Porteous, this prototype looks like the company’s first foray into a disc equipped carbon cyclocross model. It’s hard to decipher much from the grainy image, but it does appear that the bike has internal routing for DI2 and a madone-esque integrated seat mast.
For more speculation, head over to BikeRadar.
@David– Trek uses really stubby seat masts with long caps, so that is their seat mast system. and as @Bob astutely noticed, that does look to be an iso-speed coupler from the Domane. This bike will be the killer app for cross. I’m sure the fork will use the Domane fork configuration to get some more compliance.
I think Trek is spot on with new Chronus CX. Now hopefully, the can get KFC on it to get it some victories on the world stage.
1. Megan is otherworldly hot.
2. Thomas, Nate, Saris…get over yourselves. You think Trek/Meg are infants to marketing…nasty talk on their world class bad ass is all part of the imaging.
3. Jesus, a few dudes say they’d shag a hot woman…oh my virgin ears!!!!! You act like they went all BDSM on it…really, get over it.
4. @eyal. Are you kidding? Not that we have to relitigate the issue but don’t broad brush the issue. Are you as bearish on EVERY cyclist that ever jacked or just the most famous one? I don’t ride a trek, never will, but Lance is still a god damn hard man of the tallest order.
