When you've just spent several slow-mo seconds floating through the air and you're about to re-merge with the ground on your way down a steep mountain side, what you want, more than anything in the world, is shock-absorbers. And the Trek Session 10 has shocks. Big shocks. 10 inches (254 mm) of shocks, in fact.

It also features Trek's innovative rear suspension system that gives maximum travel without absorbing all the hard work from your peddling.

Add to that eight-inch (203 mm) disc brakes and a durable frame to take whatever punishment you, or the mountain, can dish out, and you have one serious bike. It's like the armoured Humvee of the bike track.
