TREK Session 8 29 GX Full Suspension Downhill Mountain Bike in Chameleon Green

Season:2026

Brand:Trek

Code:61330GRN

The Trek Session 8 is a purpose-built downhill mountain bike engineered to dominate the most brutal descents. With its rugged alloy frame and advanced high-pivot suspension layout, it delivers exceptional traction, control, and speed through rock gardens, root webs, and high-speed berms.

The 200 mm of rear travel, handled by a plush Marzocchi Bomber shock, pairs perfectly with a RockShox Boxxer fork equipped with a DebonAir+ spring and Rush RC damper—giving you confidence to send drops and hit lines harder than ever. A SRAM GX DH 7-speed drivetrain keeps your shifts dialed in the heat of competition, and powerful Maven Bronze 4-piston brakes ensure reliable stopping power when things get steep.

From gravity racing to lift-assisted laps at the bike park, the Session 8 is built to go big, stay planted, and keep you pinned from top to bottom.

  • High Pivot Suspension with Idler Pulley
    Boosts traction, stability, and speed with a rearward axle path and reduced pedal kickback
