1992 BICYCLESSee how far technology can take you. [No one lets you pus the lis further than Trek. Because no one's pushing technology furier than Trek. For overfifigen years we've designed and crafted the highest quality bikes in the world. (Ove commitment to engineering sas solid asthe finmes we build, Every year we putt find new ‘ways of building better products ‘This year we outdid ourselves, For 1992, we present line of Mountain, Hybrid and Road bikes that represent the furthest reaches of car innovation. With new entries ke the evolutionary 5000 series composite road bikes and 9000 series suspension mountain bikes, ‘our technological breakthroughs are staggering. See, or beter yet fee what happens when the world’s best materials meet the finest American technology and hand built craftsmanship. ey ‘One shocking new technology isthe 8000 ‘series dual suspension series. Designed for those that realize mountain biking is something that you should foe in your soul, Not your bones. ‘Start wih the unigue TIC rear suspension system, The revolutionary AB, Zor elastomer shock is ideally located a the dynamic center of gravity, to minimize is impact on balance and Fhanling. By compressing the shock just ver 3/4of an inch the rear wheel travels an incredible 275 inches. ‘This feature of the T3C system, allows us to make te shock extremely lightweight and compact Up font the new Trek DDS3 suspension fork boosts 18 inches of travel to balance the vide, With adjustable sping ate, adjustable damping and progressive damping you can customize its action on varying teins. "The cual suspension 9000 series al the thrill you can handle ona bike made to handle ial es} (Our next revolution is also the next revolution in rod bikes, Presenting the new 5000 sere, At is glance it is obvious that these bicyeles are special. The design plato for these bicyles blends advanced composite fabrication rl car proven luge, bonded frame constuction, Resulting in frame tha weighs a scant 24lbs The key? Our revolutionary carbon ues Using a Finite Element Analysis to sty stress aH points we can vary wal thickness, sedding ancl taking away materials as necessary. ‘The lugs’ shapes are the result of optimizing the propetics of carbon fiber by distributing the load pins over large surface. The shapes provide an aerodynamic advantage as well Because the lugs and tubes are manufac tured separately and then bonded together, cach pice can be designed for the greatest strength ‘and siiness for its particular demands. Add our new 1,05I carbon badd fork and it anslates into stong, light responsive ride ‘So getup on the latest technology, Orit might jst pss you by BONDING & BRAZING ‘The majority ofthe Trek tne revalves round ur famous lugged frame constuction methods, Our ugg frames offer precise ‘Alignment and unparalleled strength Utilizing an aerospace bonding technique ‘we are abe 10 join our high-ech alumi and ‘composite tubes to aluminum lugs.
