yes, im not saying its not a quality buy, but its not what most people want . its good to have bikes like that, but that cant be your whole line . i do like trek , i even own one and its lasted me for well for a few years now . but its a cheap one . my point is, most jumping type bikes are sold to people 18 and under im gona say, about half at least . how many people in that age group are ( i shouldnt saying willing to spend) but HAVE like $3000 to spend on their bike . not a lot of them, most will spend less then probably $1500, to start with . so i think they should have a line, with like 3 models of the ticket for example , starting around $1000 point and getting more . Trek probably is working on making some killer bikes (when they get around to producing them, but they are only targeting a small precentage of riders . They thing they are doing them selves good by keeping people in suspense you say, but when the bike fianlly drops , im gona say alot of the people that need/ want a new bike at the start of the season, arnt going to be waiting around for something that they have no clue if or when its coming out, so they will buy something else . and when it these bikes finally come out, i think alot of people wont be able to afford them

yea ok, they have a dj bike for the first timew in like 3 years, but they need a bike that is 1200 for a whole bike, not 1200 for just a frame .

sure, but do you really thing the average joe is going to wait around for some thing that may never even be made?? i mean trek isnt really aimed at selling some kid a bike like that . They did debut there new dh and fr line last year i think it was, 2 bikes in total, both pushin 7 grand . how many of those do you see ever?? you probly dont even see them at shops, they wont buy them cause they cant sell them . now ask your self this . how many kona stinkys have you seen over the years?? im not taking a side for kona here, but im saying, they are the one one of the most succesfull companies in sell ign dj/ freeride bikes . not because people think they are great, or because they keep peolple in suspense for years waiting for a bike that in the end they will never be able to afford . no, they sell quality bikes people, (espeacialy young people, who are more likely to want to buy a bike of that type) . tons of people hate kona, yet if you went down to your dirt jumps, or to your bike park, your gona see tons of konas . trek is out to make one awsome bike, which are good, but nobody rides them, they can afford it usually . but kona has a line of bike for one model, you can buy a stinky for 1800, or you can buy one for 5000, and for the 1800, some kid could save up for one summer, and buy the a bike almost the same as their pros ride . i dunno, but it seems liek trek is workin the wrong angle . making top line is good, but making lower end bikes for the average joe is what sells bikes .
