Awesome! I Ordered the X Caliber 8 2022 last week. Can't wait for it! Thank you for the review and content. Hopefully, more reviews on the X Caliber 8 2022.
Hey, thanks for your effort and uploading so many videos. Your content tells me that you know much, much more than my local Trek dealers in Europe. X-Caliber 8 2022 is on sale right now and I can get one for 1155 USD. I am only afraid that XL frame which is available will be too big for me. My height is 6'1''. Unfortunately they don't have it in store so I can't test it.
You’re welcome! I’m flattered. And regarding your issue, I do think XL would be a little too big, but it’s nothing crazy and I think you could make it work if you have to. Did they give you a lead time on when the Large size may be available? And if you haven’t already, it would be good to call around with any local Trek dealers to see if anyone has any in stock or may be getting some in the near future, that’s how I ended up getting the size I wanted but I may have also been lucky
Hello, excellent video. Congratulations. I have a question: Is it possible to transfer all components from Xcaliber 9 to X Caliber 8? The reason is because I don't like the colors of the Xcaliber 9. I hope you can help me with this information. Thank you so much.
Thank you! And yes that is possible, though it would take good amount of time and effort. They share the exact same frame so as long as you get the same size frame it’ll work great
Didn't finish the video yet but 1 question why does some pictures of the x caliber 9 2021 have an xt cassette but comes in an slx cassette is it different because of the regions or what?
As far as I know, no X-Caliber 9 in recent years (2020 -2022) has come with an XT cassette despite Trek’s images showing it with one. All of the listed specs always say SLX cassette though and I’ve seen and built many of them and they always have SLX. Maybe it’s a region thing but at least in the US it’s SLX
I let him go. The summer of 2021 was presented. I ordered it in November. They promised spring. It is now the end of 2022. Maybe. I went into a store and bought a Scott instead. At least it's available. It's annoying that in Asia it is advertised in stores. With us, customers do not receive it
I went to my local trek shop today and they are going to sell me the 9 for the price of the 8. They told me they are trying to sell them all as Trek is discontinuing this line and all the frames will be turned into Marlins. Is this true?
According to Trek’s website, the max is a 32 tooth. I haven’t seen someone try to put a larger one so I am not 100% sure unfortunately, but I know a 32 works
Hmm I’m not sure. They seem to have the same exact wheelset so it would be strange for the spokes to be different. Did you see that on the specs somewhere?
🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️ i woukd like to add to the comnent below about the review of two road bikes emonda vs the madone.. hmmm didnt someone promise a ride video of his one of many new bikes last year he would do ride review of his road bike?
Update to video: The price of the X-Caliber 8 has increased to $1,600.
I knew they raised the price. The price for the x-caliber 8 is now $1,599.99 instead of $1,529.99. Still a great value, nice video as always.
Wow that price increase was quick haha, it was $1,530 when I made the video but I’ll add that in an update comment right now.
Bought a Trek because of your reviews
I’m flattered!! Which one did you get?
@@TalalipopMTB 2022 Dual Sport 3. I love it. Does exactly what I need for my area.

Thank you too!!
How's the bike going?
Did you consider the 9? I'm trying to decide between the two.
Im drooling over the x caliber 9 🤤
I’m here in the KC area, bought my 2022 Xcaliber 8 last fall. As far as I know there hasn’t been a 8 or a 9 in any store since and I keep checking.
Yeah they’re pretty rare right now
I up grade my xcaliber 8 to XT parts...now it's like an xcaliber 10 jjjj
How? Where? Hace the same help

Great video, X-Caliber 9 is the better choice.
Thanks!
Tiền cũng tốt hơn thôi bạn. Sản phẩm tốt tiền sẽ tốt thêm chút
The QR rear is the only turn off for me for this bike. But this is the best bang for buck bike for me plus the white color is what I really love.
Boost 141 it's going to be the future standard.....141 and 148 are the same...

@@TalalipopMTB Thank you very much for your answer. You have cleared my doubt.

No problem! Greetings from California :D

scott scale 960 2021 vs x caliber 9 2022 ?
Which one is better?
I went to my local trek shop today and they are going to sell me the 9 for the price of the 8. They told me they are trying to sell them all as Trek is discontinuing this line and all the frames will be turned into Marlins. Is this true?
Maybe this what the 8 is on sale... Aug 2024
Is it possible to use 34t chainring on xcaliber 8? Tks
According to Trek’s website, the max is a 32 tooth. I haven’t seen someone try to put a larger one so I am not 100% sure unfortunately, but I know a 32 works
Thanks a lot..
@@TalalipopMTB Yep the 32 is the Max = My next purchase the 32T
No release for xcaliber 7?
No. it was replaced by marlin8
No changes for the X Caliber 7, it’s still the 2021 model for 2022.
Can you install internal dropper on x caliber 8
Yes
arent the spokes different on these bikes...the 8 has 14g spokes but 9 has 15g spokes
Hmm I’m not sure. They seem to have the same exact wheelset so it would be strange for the spokes to be different. Did you see that on the specs somewhere?
Do you know if we can update the crankset from 30 to 32 or 34?
32 max, but it does have mounting options to run a 2x as well

hahahaha so many videos… so little time
New XC 9 cost 1490€ in sale in EU now...
Precio en Perú. Xcaliber 8 a 2000 dolares. Y xcaliber 9 a 2500 dólares. 😔
Does anybody wants to sell used x caliber
These bikes are still available in 2024. Seems trek no long makes new models every year. Not the same trek as it once was
Yeah they’re definitely outdated now. Trek has been updating most of their other mountain bikes though which is nice to see
Guys anybody accept human for a bike
The white one is way nicer looking
Yeah I agree
