The sleek and fast looking Trek Lush 29er comes in all black and provides 110mm of plush travel for a fun and stable ride. Numerous technical features dominate the Alpha Platinum Aluminium WSD frame, more than the price tag suggests, including internal cable routing, a seat tube ready for a dropper seatpost, E2 tapered headtube, press fit BB, alloy EVO link and more.
Components are predominantly Shimano Deore with 10 speed gearing and FSA Gamma Drive triple crankset. Forks are RockShox Monarch RL with rebound adjustment and lockout providing 120mm of travel. Bontragers respected components top off the spec with well-designed women specific bars, grips, and saddle.
The other full suspension mountain bike in the Lush range is the SL 29 at £2500, featuring the same frame attributes with Fox Evolution Series rear shock and fork offering more adjustment and set-up options than the lowere priced Lush. A mostly Shimano groupset is with SLX/XT Shadow Plus drivetrain and SLX brakes, topped off with RockShox Reverb Stealth dropper seat post.
