• Great suspension platform performance when braking
• Good price for a bike which comes with the added value of shop customer service
• Light bike considering the more budget end build
• Short headtube means you'll need plenty of spacers to get the bar height right
• Knock Block is perhaps a redundant feature if you don't notice or benefit from the increase in stiffness

The Trek Remedy 7 is a long travel trail bike that sets a great standard for this category of bike. It’s reasonably well priced for a ‘shop bought’ bike, providing a nimble ride that will put a smile on your face. It's probably not the fastest bike you'll ride but it is a lot of fun!

• The best mountain bikes for under £1,000 - the best budget buys ridden and rated
• The best mountain bikes you can buy for under £1,500 - full sus and hardtails

The Remedy we chose to test was the bottom of the range Remedy 7, coming in at £2,200, it’s not the cheapest long legged trail bike you’ll find but it is competitive on price, direct buy brands eliminated from the equation.  For your money you get an alloy frame with internal cable routing, adjustable geometry via the brands Mino Link, Trek’s still excellent rear suspension, despite no longer sporting the ‘full floater’ design and a smattering of good spec choices alongside some more questionable ones.

The frame also features Trek’s Knock Block system, which stops the bars turning to far that allows the fork crown to hit the frame. It's something Trek need to prevent after altering the design of the bike to incorporate a straighter down tube in conjunction with an altered rear suspension design (no more ‘Full Floater’) which provides a quoted 5% stiffer frame and the ability to run metric shocks. Trek says that the advancement in shock technology means they no longer need the Full Floater design on longer travel bikes as the shocks are now more sensitive.

The Knock Block is unnoticeable when riding but try to manhandle the bike into a car or through a tight space and you’ll soon know about it. It might sound petty but considering I doubt many people will notice a 5% increase in stiffness myself included, I’d rather do away with the Knock Block altogether.

If you want to run the stem of your choice or one shorter than the 50mm Bontrager option then you need to fit a Trek KnockBlock Headset Lockring Spacer  which locks the steerer tube to the headset bearing cover and frame chip. You can then fit regular spacers and your own stem on top of this.

Whilst I’m talking about the frame we should also talk about the Mino Link, a reversible chip at the connecting junction of the seat stays and rocker link allowing the head angle to be steepened by half a degree and the bottom bracket to be raised by 10mm in the steep position.

I set the bike in low and left it with a 66-degree head angle and a 74.7-degree seat angle, I should think that most riders will largely do one or the other and I’m yet to meet anyone who flips a chip on a regular basis. That said, if you are putting in the miles then the option is there to steepen the effective seat angle and raise the BB further to make life easier and more efficient.

The bike features 150mm of travel at the rear, dealt with by a Rockshox Deluxe RL shock. Up front, the fork fitted is a Rockshox Yari RC with 160mm of travel. A good choice of fork I think, compare this to an entry level Specialized Stumpjumper  (£2,700) or a mid-range Giant Trance (£2,499) and you’ll get a Fox 34 Rhythm which will ultimately be less stiff than the Yari and not as easy to upgrade. Remember for about £200 and you can change the internals of this fork for essentially provide you with the impressive performance of a Lyrik RC2. It's this fork, plus the 12-speed drivetrain in conjunction with Treks impressive suspension performance that makes this bike good value for £2,200.

Elsewhere there is a SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain connected to the bike by a press fit bottom bracket and disappointingly underpowered SRAM Level T brakes. I’ve already alluded to the fact that this is a trail bike rather than an enduro ripper but these brakes are will woefully inadequate for the type of riding the bike encourages. The build kit is a mostly Bontrager affair; bars, stem, saddle, grips, dropper, wheels and tyres.

The wheels are nice and wide Bontrager Line Comp 30 (30mm internal diameter) meaning the 2.6” Bontrager XR4 tyres sit nicely on them. In fact, the tyres come up pretty large, the trail tyres aren’t the most aggressive in terms of tread or carcass but they grip very well in dry to intermediate conditions and they roll well too. If you are the type of rider to regularly roll tyres then you might find the sidewalls a little flimsy and lacking support though.

The bike I tested was the 18.5” model which actually means the bike has a seat tube length of 17.5”, plenty of room you’d have thought for a 150mm dropper post for a rider of my height you'd have thought. The Remedy 7 comes equipped with a Bontrager post but the kink lower in the seat tube means that the post won’t insert fully into the seat tube leaving me with about 30mm left out of the tube. A longer drop would fit here if the post had an overall shorter length, as it is shorter riders than I won’t be able to size up without swapping out the post after purchase.  

To ride the Remedy is a lively and nimble ride. It's incredibly fun and is a hoot to hope and jump over trail obstacles, in fact, I think the Remedy would be disappointed if you didn’t take some air! Trek’s Active Braking Pivot is a great addition, it’s immediately noticeable under braking, the bike is more composed when slowing providing more grip. ABP is a suspension design where Trek position the pivot on the rear triangle around the rear axle allowing the suspension to work better when braking as the rear wheel can track the ground better, increasing grip under braking in comparison to other suspension designs.

Although sensitive when descending I found the Deluxe shock a little overdamped but this is nothing new and not Trek Remedy specific, I’ve mentioned it on numerous test bikes this year and last. I’d like to be able to speed the shock up a touch and really make the most of the bikes affinity for popping and hopping around the trail.

Geometry wise the Remedy can’t be considered long, its reach of 435mm (in low position) puts it in the category of the shorter trail bikes, it’s not the most capable when going fast and the singletrack gets rough but it is competent in most trail situations and will see you through gnarly terrain in a composed way.  The head angle of 65.5 degrees is plenty slack enough for the purpose and the chainstays 435mm suit this ‘medium’ sized bike well. I’d be keen to see how a lower bottom bracket (349mm) and longer wheelbase changes the stability of the bike for the better but then it probably wouldn’t ride like a Remedy, I liked sliding the bike around and jumping over most things in my path whether they required it or not, so perhaps it’s best left the way it is.

The head tube is pretty short though at 105mm and you’ll find the best way to set up this bike is with plenty of spacers under the stem in order to weight the front of the bike more efficiently and prevent the front end from feeling too low when on steeper tracks. It's easier to weight the front effectively without feeling pitched over the front with higher bars, your weight can stay balanced front to rear. 

True to form of a trail bike the Remedy climbs well too, mostly due to a good suspension platform and a relatively light build (32.1lbs) even considering the hefty SRAM NX drivetrain. The bike moves easily over bumps and undulations in the trail whilst not bobbing too much when pedalling either.

In summary, the Remedy 7 is a classic long travel trail bike, this niche of bikes is proving ever popular and this is a great example. The bike may not be the slackest or the longest and the geometry is conservative given more modern standards out there, but it is a super fun bike which will evoke a smile on every trail. Ride one and if it suits the trails ride, you like it and it makes you laugh, it’ll be a good buy.

Trek Remedy 7 review

Big capability trail bike

Guy Kesteven

Trek took the 160mm (6.3in) travel fork off the Remedy and we thought it was a real backward step, but now their Scratch bikes have taken over bigger-hit duties, the Remedy’s tough trail bike intentions are much better defined.

Even this entry-level model is a proper do-it-all option for new dabblers or dynamic riders alike.

Ride & Handling: Stiff frame, excellent tracking and feedback

The DRCV shock uses two inline air spring chambers, operating automatically in sequence in response to impact size. What that means in ride terms is a relatively tight, very pedal-friendly feel as you sit on the first, progressive feeling air chamber over small bumps.

Start hitting choppier, lumpier terrain though and a simple pushrod inside opens the second chamber to provide the deeper phase of travel. The chambers open and shut at an exactly matched pressure, so transfer between them is seamless and the overall control of the two chambers is superb. The fact that the bottom of the Free Floater swingarm-mounted shock moves down as the top is compressed also has a big effect on the overall feel.

Specifically there’s a much more controlled and predictable feel in the 25 to 75 per cent stroke range compared to single large volume cans, which often rush through the mid-stroke using travel for travel’s sake. There’s no need to run extra low-speed compression for pert pedalling feel either and once you’ve set pressures (using the handy clip-on sag indicator) the ProPedal lever is pretty much redundant for anything but fireroad sprints.

The rest of the handling is equally forgettable in a totally sorted way. We tested this bike with a wide range of riders from XC hardtail fans to Enduro DH podium racers and all of them came back full of praise. The longer stem and narrower bars combine with a relatively steep head angle to create a more trail rather than DH feel.

Progressive riders should therefore definitely think about upgrading to a short stem/wide bar cockpit. Having said that, it never let steep, rutted technical singletrack get the better of it when we raced it at Innerleithen. Even when we were braking and cornering hard enough to really feel the extended travel Fox fork twist and twang and the tyres slide in and out of traction over wet roots, the overall balance and high frame stiffness meant we never totally lost control.

The longer reach and less wander-prone handling also give it more balanced climbing manners, particularly on really steep, techy stuff. While it’s not light, the position and shock feel let it cover ground and gain height better than we expected.

Frame & Equipment: Stiff frame with cost conscious but still decent kit

Trek were one of the first companies to use a tapered front end, and the angular E2 tapered head tube is still an obvious feature.

The shared seam between the big truncated triangle down tube and steeply sloped hexagonal top tube, and a small gusset ahead of the seat tube, adds extra strength. It’s not a hollow axle rear end, but the single-piece EVO linkage and long ABP skewer works really well to lock down rotational rear wheel stiffness, and mud clearance is OK even with the 2.4in tyre.

Sandwiching the unique DRCV shock between the linkage and forward extensions of the swingarm – rather than anchoring it on the mainframe – means there’s room for a water bottle. The bottom bracket has mounts for an ISCG chain keeper and the fat down tube does a good job of acting like a Crud Catcher as well.

The seatpost needs cutting down if you want to get the seat really low though and there are no remote cable tabs if you upgrade to a remote post.

This is one of the cheaper bikes here, so Trek have had to cut some kit corners, but they’ve made sure it’s nothing that short changes the rider. The Avid Elixir 3 brakes are actually more predictable and reliable than their more expensive brethren once you’ve swapped to sintered pads. The open bath damped Fox forks are slightly heavier, but smoother over the small stuff than the more expensive FIT versions.

The SRAM X.7 gear all works fine too as long as you keep the cables clean, and the triple chainset syncs with the all-rounder ability of the bike. The longer stem and narrow bars create a more XC feel than the other bikes here too. The Bontrager tyres are relatively fast-rolling too, although broad rims give them a vast volume, and they’re tubeless compatible for low pressure running.

The really important component is the DRCV shock though. Not only does it use two inline air spring chambers, the side-mounted design squeezes a 220mm shock into a 200mm eye-to-eye length. The DRCV shock in Full Floater mount feels great.

Trek Remedy 2018 range explained

What's the difference between a Remedy 7 and a Remedy 9.8?

27.5in wheel enduro smashing Trek Remedy is high on the list for anyone wanting to take on bike parks and tech terrain without forfeiting climbs.

>>> Which Trek mountain bike is right for you?

Based around providing 150mm of Trek’s proven ABP based rear suspension and a longer, 160mm suspension fork. The Trek Remedy creates the Goldilocks effect for riders looking for one bike that does everything.

The Remedy is quite rightly one of the most popular full suspension platforms in Trek’s vast collection, but how do you navigate the range? If you are in the market for a versatile all-rounder with a slant on pushing hard on tech terrain, then use this handy guide to tell the difference between a Remedy 7 and Remedy 9.8.

Trek Remedy need to know

• RE:aktiv suspension design providing 150mm of rear wheel travel. All models feature a trunnion mounted metric shock .
• ABP rear pivots isolates braking forces and prevents its detrimental impact on suspension performance.
• All models use Trek’s Mino-Link suspension adjustment to alter frame geometry .
• Designed for use with a 160mm travel suspension fork .
• Each Remedy is based around a 27.5″ wheel size .
• Boost 148 rear end

So let’s take look at the range.

Trek Remedy 7

Price: £2300

If you are looking at getting in to the Remedy family at the ground floor then the Remedy 7 is your gateway. The frame is made from Trek’s Alpha Platinum aluminium and even though it’s the ‘entry level’ model it shares the same suspension performance characteristics and geometry chart as it’s more expensive versions.

Remedy 7 spec highlights

• RockShox Yari RL suspension fork, RockShox Deluxe RL rear shock
• SRAM NX 11 speed drivetrain
• SRAM Level T hydraulic brakes
• Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheelset
• Bontrager dropper post
• Bontrager 780mm handlebar , Bontrager 50mm stem

Remedy 9.7. Upgrades include carbon front triangle and uprated rear shock.

Trek Remedy 9.7

Price: £2700

Trek offer two Remedy models at the same price point. You can opt for either a carbon front triangle or vastly improved components. If you want carbon then the 9.7 is the model for you. This model gets an OCLV Mountain carbon (Trek proprietary carbon lay-up) front triangle. It keeps the aluminium rear stays of the 7 and the majority of the parts list but does update the rear shock and brakes.

Upgrades over Remedy 7:

• OCLV Mountain carbon fibre front triangle. This reduces weight, increases strength and improves integration.
• RockShox Deluxe RT3 rear shock. Three position damping (rather than just Open and Lock)
• SRAM Guide R hydraulic brakes . Four piston brakes for more powerful braking performance.

The Remedy 8 boosts the suspension performance with a RockShox Lyric fork up front. Gearing goes to 12 speed with SRAM’s GX Eagle.

Trek Remedy 8

The Remedy 8 sticks with the same full aluminium frame as the Remedy 7, but ups the desirability of the parts list. Top of the list of upgrades is a RockShox Lyrik suspension fork and SRAM GX Eagle 12 speed drivetrain. Trek class this bike as ‘the best blend of performance and value in the Remedy range’.

• RockShox Lyrik RC suspension fork. The Lyrik is at the top of RockShox hard-hitting long travel single crown fork range. The RC has rebound and compression damping adjusters.
• RockShox Deluxe RT3 rear shock. Same as the Remedy 9.7.
• SRAM GX Eagle 12 speed drivetrain. SRAM’s Eagle groupsets provide a vast 500% gear range from the massive 10-50 tooth cassette.

The female specific Remedy 8 Women’s is effectively the same as the standard Remedy 8, just with a slightly shorter stem and women specific saddle.

Trek Remedy 8 Women’s

Trek introduce a female specific Remedy at this price point. Interestingly, apart from the female specific Bontrager Evoke saddle, shorter 35mm stem and the colour scheme, the bike is exactly the same as the ‘men’s’ version. Even the frame geometry, often somewhere you might see some tweaks, stays the same. It’s only available in 15.5″, 17.5″ and 18.5″ frame sizes. So taller riders will need to look at the alternative model.

Changes from Remedy 8:

• Bontrager Evoke, women’s specific saddle.
• Bontrager Line 35mm stem.

The remedy 9.8 is the choice for Trek’s enduro riders wanting to run more agile 27.5″ wheels.

Trek Remedy 9.8

Price: £4500

Trek’s top of the line, long-travel trail bike is the Remedy 9.8. It’s a big leap up from the 9.7 or 8 models at £1800 more than either model. For this huge jump you do get some much bigger changes to justify the price increase. The frame is upgraded to an almost complete OCLV carbon version, both front triangle and chainstays are made from the wonder material. The seatstays stay as alloy though.

>>> Trek Remedy 9.8 (2018) first ride

Suspension sees big changes, especially at the rear. The 9.8 goes to a unique Thru Shaft RockShox rear shock for an increase in performance on more demanding terrain and a top of the line RockShox Lyrik suspension fork. The drivetrain stays as SRAM GX Eagle but brakes are upped to SRAM Guide RS versions. The Bontrager wheels see an improvement to their lighter Line Elite versions with lighter rims and quicker engaging hubs. Even the Bontrager finishing kit sees a smattering of carbon and titanium to reduce weight.

Upgrades from Remedy 8:

• Full OCLV carbon frameset.
• RockShox Lyric RCT3 suspension fork. The RCT3 features the ability to make more complex compression damping changes on the fly.
• RockShox Deluxe RT3 shock with Thru Shock. The Thru Shock design helps it react to terrain changes quicker, giving much smoother suspension travel.
• Bontrager Line Elite wheels. Lighter rims and faster engagement at the rear hub.
• SRAM Guide RS brakes.
• Bontrager Line Pro OCLV carbon handlebar.
• Bontrager Line Pro 35mm stem.

The standout model in the women’s Remedy range. The 9.8 has a full OCLV carbon frame.

Trek Remedy 9.8 Women’s

Again, it’s just the saddle, paint job and smaller size range that differentiates the women’s version of the Remedy 9.8.

Like to customise? Then get the Remedy as a frame/shock only option.

Trek Remedy Frameset

Price: £2750

Trek also has a frame only option in the Remedy line-up. If you already have your favourite fork and parts then you can get the benefits of the top end OCLV carbon Remedy but with the freedom to customise. The good news is it does benefit from a Thru Shock version of the RockShox deluxe RT3 rear shock.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

Where to watch movies for free in Moscow this summer

People watching a movie in a Pioner 24-hour open-air cinema in Gorky Park.

Temporary cinemas will be popping up across Moscow very soon, starting from July 16. All of the spots are brilliant examples of either constructivist or avant-garde architecture, so expect striking settings. A selection of classic Soviet films will be aired using cinematic equipment from the last century. All the screenings are free although online registration is required beforehand, while there will also be guided tours of the spaces, organized by the “Moscow through the Engineer's Eyes” company.

Registration will be open soon at mos-kino.ru

Bread factory

Following the success of former factories transformed into art spaces (VinZavod, Arma, Trekhgornaya manufacture), Khlebzavod (“bread factory”) No 9 is one newly opened joint that is attracting creative types from all over the city. The movie Time! Forward! will be screened in the building’s boiler room on July 16. It follows workers from the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, one of the largest steel companies in Russia, and is based on a novel by Soviet writer Valentin Kataev.

What’s more, Khlebzavod is a monument to constructivist architecture. Where better to watch such a film?

Novodmitrovskaya St. 1

Roof of the Narkomfin Building

The Narkomfin Building was originally designed to house high ranking employees at the Commissariat of Finance. It was built by architects Moisei Ginsburg and Ignaty Milinis. Also a fine example of constructivism, it’s currently in a state of disrepair, locked down, and fairly difficult to get into - which is like a red flag to a bull for more adventurous types.

However, on July 30 the place will be opened up and people will be welcomed onto the roof to watch the film Faith and Truth.

Novinsky Blvrd . 25b1

Khrushchyovka courtyard

A courtyard located in the 9th experimental block of the Novye Cheremushki district will turn into an outdoor cinema this summer. Cheremushki is the first district where Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchyov decided to build the iconic Khrushchyovka apartment blocks in the 1950s. As a result, thousands of Russians were given their own pads after decades living huddled together in communal apartments known as kommunalka .

Cheremushki is the adapted film-version of Dmitry Shostakovich’s operetta and will be shown here on Aug. 6. The organizers of the multiple screenings - the Moskino cinema chain - say they will revive the Soviet tradition of neighbors meeting in courtyards for a good old tongue wag. There will also be a guided tour of the block.

Address to be confirmed at mos-kino.ru

Pioneers Palace

If you want a slice of the postwar Soviet avant-garde style, head to the Pioneers Palace at Vorobyevy Gory. Pioneers Palaces were youth centers for sport, creativity, and hobbies for Young Pioneers (a communist organization for children) during the Soviet Union. There were dance classes, martial arts, drawing, and many other activities.

To Love a Man , a movie about two young architects building a new town in Siberia, will be shown here on Aug. 22. There will also be a lecture about building experiments in the 20th century.

Kosygina St. 17b2

A secret place

The last cinema venue remains a secret. On Aug. 27 there will be a screening, but at the moment no one knows where. Information will appear on mos-kino.ru but those who attend all four screenings above will be able to guess the last location.

A talk about architecture and Soviet history also will be hosted here.
