Hey y'all sorry for the delay on this. @doggepp is the winner of the give away! Please email chase@thebicyclestaion.com to figure out shipping details.
After riding 34lb enduro bikes I moved to the 22 Top Fuel… The overall speed difference is crazy! Only problem is now I want more! Definitely getting the new Super Cal!
Thank you so much for the best quality and work you did with this video! You have the best reviews on TH-cam explaining about the different model of this bike, This build is so perfect 🤩 😍👌👌
gotta say this is the ideal / most atheistically pleasing build out so far. also checked the geometry and i cant believe what can be thrown down with this
I have the new Gen 2 9.9 AXS. So far I have changed the chain ring to a Wolf Tooth 36T, tires to Schwalbe Racing Ray/Ralph with Vittoria insert, saddle to WTB Silverado, Shifter to SRAM AXS Rocker. Fantastic XC bike.
I have met Jessie, I was actually looking around in the shop today. He is obviously a talented mechanic and seems to be a perfectionist at it. He's got a nice little family that is growing right along with the business. Good people. Oh and I hope I win.
I found your channel MONTHS ago and really enjoy your concept! I just ordered a gen 2 Supercaliber 9.6.. couldn’t justify a higher build kit for myself 🫤 but am definitely planning to upgrade a few parts, so winning few upgrades would be sweet 😁
Great video And an excellent build as usual. Have you thought about going next level with custom painted RSL bars and custom fork decals to match to frame?
I really like the idea of short travel xc bikes like the supercaliber, but you can get an Epic Evo frame for over 300 grams less, and a 3 pos lockout to compensate for the lack of efficiency.
Bike looks great! PF92 is a... choice... though. Not even mad about pressfit, just the 41mm ID boxes out 6806 bearings for DUB/30mm cranks. If anyone plans on having a good time, they better like Shimano cranks or go the BB infinite/ 4030 bearing route.
@@bicyclestation agree, there really isn't much going for Shimano cranks at the highest level. BB92 is another #thanksShimano moment IMO. Credit where it's due, I like the steel spindle/ delrin sleeve interface and affordability of 6805 bearings, but for all out performance SRAM has been KILLING IT off-road.
Such a sick build video! I took the lock out cables off my 9.7 and also took the dropper off for now, so just have the two brake cables running up front, couldn’t handle the clutter 😂. I’m just curious about the technicalities of the rear suspension being in open position all the time but if I can answer my own question in terms of ride, I haven’t really noticed a huge difference without having the lockouts. I figured out that when I climb and I move myself forward on the bike and into a specific position the rear shock doesn’t have that much “bounce”.
Just picked mine up! XO with no changes! I’m in S.E .Michigan so not sure I’ll need the dropper, I have a new RSL post. No a fan of the XO One piece aluminum cranks, but good for now! 🤙🏻
Bonito video, una gran bicicleta y un buen montaje. bbinfinite lo mejor de los mejor, es posible que si lo metes al revés las medidas no sean las correctas, hay que poner el Loctite adecuado.
Hi Jesse! Wanted to know more about your size choice to orient my selection between the ML or Large (I'm 5foot11). I listen to you about the procaliber M, Top Fuel's M and ML reflexion. Hope this includes me into the the giveway! Peace
I love the Supercal and wish I could afford one it looks sick. Currently running the Procal 9.5 and it's amazing so can only imagine how these are to ride. Awesome looking bike
How yah like the sizing on these. Thinking of building a SS version myself as my old 07 Jamis Exile has rusted itself out. I am 6 '2'', exile is XL but effective tt is 630 and I rock a 110-120 stem. Hmmmm. Def want that one peice bar and its longest option is 90. Large with the 90 might be too small!?!
I think thats a great idea, when this bike needs serviced I will do just that. But i will say the old bike was way more intersting to service. They made it really easy on this bike and its a less intersting video
Really love your OCD when it comes to shorting cables, attention to detail etc. Many bike mechanics could learn alot, from watching your Channel...... Huge Ozzie Fan.👊🙏
I got the GX build and it's been amazing to ride so far. Swapped the heavy dropper for a Transfer SL, new wheels on the way and eyeing that XXSL crank as an upgrade someday, as well. As shipped, the weight of the size Large GX in red was 26.86 lbs.
@@bicyclestation SLR, it's the 9.8 GX build. The website says this build comes with the new Kovee Elite wheels but in fact it shipped with the previous gen Kovee Pro which weight a lot more, like 1750g maybe for the set. Also came with Maxxis Rekon Race instead of the Saint Anne tires.
I have the same PRS-25 stand. It’s good. Do you find a lot of frames with internal routing end up having burrs inside the ports that scratch and damage the brake hose/cable housing? Frame makers need to take note and make sleeves inside the frame so the hose/housing goes in and out smoothly.
I’ve seen it once or twice. I honestly prefer just a big hole with a bolt on plastic cable holder. Trek had this nailed and kinda sad to see it go away on the new supercal. I think the tubes are fine in a trail bike but I don’t think it’s worth the weight on a race bike. It’s really not that big a deal to route them now that I’m used to it and do it almost daily
Can you share link to the headset you are using here? I have difficulties finding it. Is it still available? I get redirected to "discontinued products" page.
WOW nice looking bike which I probably will never see in person, so thank you for this cool video and whole explanation about it’s parts. Well the paintjob on the bike looks awesome I mean really awesome, someone has painted it for few hours by hand for sure to get this result. I really like and appreciate that you are so precise about the cable lengths and how they look when you put them all one by another, same with tire and rim logos I do the same on my bikes. And yes on 29.09. is our 💍 anniversary so I must get the prize 😁
This bike looks great really wanting to get an xc full sus supercal way too expensive though. Really great video this honestly is 10x more enjoyable than other boring build videos
I fully agree with you on the strange spec of the XX AXS Supercaliber. When I first saw the reivews/spec-list of it, its kind of super noticeable that they specced it only to hit a certain weight goal. No internal cable routing tubes in the frame, press-fit, fox dropper, 2.2 tires, no power-meter? And the weight they hit isnt that super impressive anyways. Loved your build though, its exactly what I would have done if I were to get one.
I want to see exactly how light is possible for this bike. Lightest of everything. Lightest paint, lightest tires, lightest fork, everything. Like, is it possible to beat the 21.45 specced on the Trek website? Its gotta be possible, right?
I bet it’s possible but you’ll have a sketchy less useful bike. The reality is the bikes a lb heavier then the epic evo before you even start building it

Yea you can go pretty nuts with the XC stuff
Awesome build. Super refreshing to see all these custom builds and insight. Always looking forward to the next one.
Thanks!
the Supercaliber will definitely be my next bike. Great build and cool video. 👍💪
The design of the rear suspension on this bike is insane! Trek did a great job with this one!
I agree
Thanks for all the effort showing the build process in your videos! Also appreciate seeing the variety of brands that you showcase!
Hopefully we can keep branching out!
Thank you so much for the best quality and work you did with this video! You have the best reviews on TH-cam explaining about the different model of this bike, This build is so perfect 🤩 😍👌👌
Thanks!
Love the build! RSLs would look sick on my procaliber 9.5
Sweet build! That RSL cockpit looks really clean
This build is so damn slick! the cockpit and the wheel/tire RSL logo alignment is just 👌🏾👌🏾 top notch
Thanks!
gotta say this is the ideal / most atheistically pleasing build out so far. also checked the geometry and i cant believe what can be thrown down with this
Nice to see the build being done in the great outdoors.
I have the new Gen 2 9.9 AXS. So far I have changed the chain ring to a Wolf Tooth 36T, tires to Schwalbe Racing Ray/Ralph with Vittoria insert, saddle to WTB Silverado, Shifter to SRAM AXS Rocker. Fantastic XC bike.
Nice build! Bought the black/gray XO build as well and put my XX on it. Love it!
Nice!
I like how the RSL cockpit and wheelset go really well on any build!
Gotta keep it factory
Awesome build! Love the new supercal color
Blair just got a new bike.. my turn ! Congrats on the site launch
I have met Jessie, I was actually looking around in the shop today. He is obviously a talented mechanic and seems to be a perfectionist at it. He's got a nice little family that is growing right along with the business. Good people. Oh and I hope I win.
Thanks!
Super cool bike. I want 🙋🏼♀️ but I think Gentry is the real superstar of the channel 🤩
Congratulations on your website! 🎉 Hoping for the best.
Yay! Website finally! Thanks for the entertaining videos always!
Nice work, Jesse. Website and TH-cam channel are great!
Thanks!
I found your channel MONTHS ago and really enjoy your concept!
I just ordered a gen 2 Supercaliber 9.6.. couldn’t justify a higher build kit for myself 🫤 but am definitely planning to upgrade a few parts, so winning few upgrades would be sweet 😁
Honestly a great bike still
my dreambuild bike that’s so sick to look with the RSL handlebar pretty clean build, thank you for showing us the process of building this bike.
This channel makes GCN look like Lifetime.
lol
Great video. I find all your videos really entertaining. Keep up the great work! September 21st 9:51 pm
Found you via your standout instagram, stayed for the awesome builds and raw bike enthusiasm. Love it, if I'm ever in Colombus I'm stopping in
Any time!
I have a gen 1 can’t wait to your feedback on a gen 2 are you going to race this at Iceman?
I would have, but I will be going to Austin Rattler to try and get a better Leadville qualifying spot for 2024
Love my old Supercaliber. Those RSL bars would be a great add.
Great video Jesse! Full bike build outside in the yard is the BOSS way to do it.
hahah we keep tryin to mix it up
love the white paint with black spatter. looks neat
The paint is the best part
I never did see that elephant😂. Sick bike for sure.
color of this bike is awesome!
Great video And an excellent build as usual. Have you thought about going next level with custom painted RSL bars and custom fork decals to match to frame?
Yes, I actually tried to get Allied to paint a bar for me to match my BC40 but they said they would only paint their parts
I really like the idea of short travel xc bikes like the supercaliber, but you can get an Epic Evo frame for over 300 grams less, and a 3 pos lockout to compensate for the lack of efficiency.
I have exactly that and without giving a definitive answer id say id prefer the evo or my BC40
Bike looks awesome, love the look of those handlebars!
Thanks for all the effort showing the build process Awesome new bike
Great build. Love the way the logos lined up.
Most important thing
Put me behind some of those RSL bars! Great build and super informative, thank you!
No problem
Nice build. I’m gonna have to visit your shop.
any time
Absolutely love the finish on this frame. Nice build

Idk why you'd want the Shimano crank to be honest
@@bicyclestation agree, there really isn't much going for Shimano cranks at the highest level. BB92 is another #thanksShimano moment IMO. Credit where it's due, I like the steel spindle/ delrin sleeve interface and affordability of 6805 bearings, but for all out performance SRAM has been KILLING IT off-road.
Like the breakdown of the distant build kits and new website!
Thanks!

I find that a lockout on a bike like the supercaliber is only really useful on pavement. Important for longer distance racing but that’s about it.
This bike would make me a trek fanboi for life.
Congrats on the store!! I’ll be ordering some goodies today!
Totally awesome sick incredible amazing racdical wicked build
Sweeeeet build! I would use those bars on my new xc race bike.
I would love those handlebars for my Supercaliber Gen 1!!.
Just picked mine up! XO with no changes! I’m in S.E .Michigan so not sure I’ll need the dropper, I have a new RSL post. No a fan of the XO One piece aluminum cranks, but good for now! 🤙🏻
Bonito video, una gran bicicleta y un buen montaje. bbinfinite lo mejor de los mejor, es posible que si lo metes al revés las medidas no sean las correctas, hay que poner el Loctite adecuado.
I think that loctite makes it impossible to remove. I just use normal greese
The gen 2 is awesome

For me to ride the large id have to run a crazy short stem. Running a 70 on the M/L and on the L id have to run a 55.
Nice build with slick color ❤
Your bike build looks amazing. Such a great MTB. Also, really nice Video - keep it up guys.
Will do!
Super stoked for this site, good luck!
I’m building a top fuel. Need the stem/bar for the cockpit.
got some availably to order on out web-store now
Send me the link, please.
www.thebicyclestation.com/bicycle-components/handlebars/flat-bars/
As always, another excellent video.
Thanks!
Love these build video's....keep em coming!
Will do!
I'm curious how the SID SL 110 compares to the SID 110.
The Sid is way better. I sold the Sid SL I had and think the Sid just better in every situation
I love the Supercal and wish I could afford one it looks sick. Currently running the Procal 9.5 and it's amazing so can only imagine how these are to ride. Awesome looking bike
They have a SL frameset you could upgrade to
@@bicyclestation I'll take a look, thank you
I hope you are shipping to Europe...because I will win the handlebar!!! Love the Trek Supercaliber!
Yooooo. Looking to build a mtb after riding road for a while. Might be a nice start
Id say its a good one for someone used to road bikes
How yah like the sizing on these. Thinking of building a SS version myself as my old 07 Jamis Exile has rusted itself out. I am 6 '2'', exile is XL but effective tt is 630 and I rock a 110-120 stem.

Hell yeah boys. Lookin good
Let's go I can't wait to see this new video!
Sick build, wish I could pick up a top fuel from you guys but im up here in Canada!
I bet we could figure it out
Absolutely love your content. Anychance you could make a video showing how to service rear shock on either gen1 or gen 2.....🙏🙏
I think thats a great idea, when this bike needs serviced I will do just that. But i will say the old bike was way more intersting to service. They made it really easy on this bike and its a less intersting video

Thats super lame. Id honestly complain.
Great build. Love em all.
Love the bike, Love the video, Sweet bike!!!
clean build!! i'm trying to make my build like yours
Let me know id you need any help
Super nice build!
Gen 2 looks amazing!
Those tires look really interesting to me
YES! why cant anyone buy them is the question
That's a great build!
That is a gorgeous bike.
Been loving the channel, keep it up!!

What was the part number of the headset you used?
qbp or cane creek part number?
@@bicyclestation cane creek please. Thank you in advance! Would love to see a follow up video on this bike if you’ve been riding it.
What makes you like this frame more than the Fuel?
Bro, the lockout cables go under the brake!!! Let Trey build it!!!!
I will never do that. EVER
Can you share link to the headset you are using here? I have difficulties finding it. Is it still available? I get redirected to "discontinued products" page.

Appreciate it!
Never in a million year I win the package with the handlebare, cap and bottle, since i live in norway. Anyway, great video - keep up the good work 🙂
I would love that bars on my supercaliber!
need to check out your new shop in Jeff!
100% its honestly the coolest shop
Killer build!
Damn good spin for BB92. Maybe best ever?
I think it actually is
BB92 for the spin.
Beautiful bike, perfect for BC!
It might be the best BC bike ever
Love the new website!
