There’s the IsoSpeed decoupler, of course, which replaces the usual top tube/seat tube junction with a pivot that allows the seat tube to flex along its entire length, giving much greater deflection at the saddle and thus a more comfortable ride. The geometry of the bike copies that of the race-ready Crockett alloy bike but the design is very much drawn from the road bikes.
Sven followed up Katie Compton's win by taking the men's race, making it a clean sweep fro the Boone on its first day.
KATIE COMPTON BOONE FULL
The full range will comprise three cantilever builds and two disc builds, as well as a frame-only option for both discs and cantis. Nys’ bikes, unveiled earlier today and tweeted by the man himself, are a mix of the traditional and the new, with two cantilever bikes and one disc bike in the rack. Interestingly all the press pictures we have of Katie Compton’s bike show discs, but the women's race in Baal has just finished and she gave the Boone the perfect winning start she was first over the line, but on a canti-equipped bike. So it seems that Trek are hedging their bets and they're not ready to drop support for cantilevers just yet.
The bike as currently featured on Trek’s website is available as a disc build, the Boone 5 Disc, at £2,400, and as a frameset at £1,750 with cantilever bosses. Trek’s IsoSpeed decoupler, used on the Pavé-busting Domane road bike, has made the jump over to cyclocross with the launch of the new Boone CX, which world champions Sven Nys and Katie Compton launched this morning in Baal, Belgium at the Grand Prix Sven Nys event.
