The "Boone 5" model from Trek, released in 2024, is a high-quality cyclocross bike that stands out for its advanced technology and well-thought-out features. The frame is made from 600 Series OCLV carbon and features the innovative IsoSpeed technology, which provides additional comfort. The tapered head tube and internal cable routing contribute to aerodynamic efficiency and a clean look. The frame is also fitted with a Ride Tuned seat tube, a 3S chain guide and a T47 bottom bracket. The flat-mount disc brake mounts and the 142 x 12 mm thru-axle ensure stability and precise braking performance.
The Boone 5 has a maximum load capacity of 125 kg, making it a robust and reliable companion. The braking system consists of SRAM Apex hydraulic disc brakes at the front and rear, with 160 mm SRAM Paceline discs, which provide excellent braking power. The drivetrain is also from SRAM Apex and offers a 12-speed system which, in combination with the SRAM XG-1230 cassette (11–44T), provides a wide range of gear ratios. The crankset is the SRAM Apex 1 with a 40-tooth chainring and a DUB Wide bottom bracket axle.
The Boone 5’s fork is the Trek Cross Full Carbon fork with a tapered carbon steerer tube and a Flat Mount disc mount. It is fitted with a 12x100 mm thru-axle, which provides additional stiffness. The handlebars are the Bontrager Elite IsoZone VR-CF, made of aluminium with a width of 44 cm, whilst the stem is the Bontrager Pro, with a length of 110 mm and a 7-degree angle.
The wheelset consists of Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25 Tubeless Ready wheels with an inner width of 25 mm, fitted with thru-axles at both the front and rear (100 x 12 mm at the front, 142 x 12 mm at the rear). The saddle is the Verse Short Comp with steel rails and a width of 145 mm, mounted on a Bontrager aluminium seatpost with a 5 mm offset.
The Boone 5’s geometry comprises a top tube length of 59 mm, a seat tube length of 58 mm, a head tube angle of 72 degrees and a seat tube angle of 73 degrees. The reach is 40 mm, the stack 62 mm, the head tube length 20 mm, the chainstay length 42 mm, the standover height 84 mm and the wheelbase 104 mm.
The Trek Boone 5 thus offers a balanced combination of comfort, stability and performance and is available at a price of 3,499 EUR.
