Trailster (non-electric)
Algupära
Trailster oli Bergamonti kogu mäestiku / raja platvorm 2010. aastate teisel poolel, paiknedes XC-orienteeritud Revoxi kõva sabaga ja pikema käiguga Encore enduro jalgratta vahel. Arhitektuur oli nelja vardaga Horst-link paigutusega, tagumise käiguga 130-150 mm ja esihargiga 140-160 mm, algselt 27,5-tolliste ratastega ja hiljem lisati 29-tolline versioon (Trailster 29). 'Sport' trim oli tavaliselt teine altpoolt astmestikus — sisseastumise tasemel Shimano SLX/Deore jõuülekanne, RockShox või Suntour vedrustus, ilma süsinikdetailideta — positsioneeritud kui esimene 'korralik' raja jalgratas Saksa keskmise hinnaga. Mitte-elektriline Trailsteri liin lõpetati umbes 2019-2020, kui turg liikus e-MTB suunas, ja Bergamont koondas kogu mäestiku segmendi E-Trailster 130/150 platvormiks koos Bosch Performance Line CX-ga. Täna säilib Trailsteri nimi ainult elektrilises E-Trailsteri alamkaubamärgis.

- Shimano SLX / XT 1x11, later SRAM GX Eagle 1x12; Fox / RockShox suspension front and rear
- Pidurid
- Hydraulic disc, 4-piston on later builds — Shimano MT520 4-piston (203/180 mm) on 2020 Trailster 8, SRAM Guide RS (200/180 mm) on 2019 Trailster 10, Shimano XT M8000 on carbon 10.0
- Rattad
- Initially 27.5" (2015-2018), 29" on 2019-2020 generation; 30 mm-width rims (Alexrims EXR 30 / Syncros Revelstoke 2.0 / Sun Ringle Duroc), Boost 148x12 mm rear
- Rehvid
- Maxxis Minion DHF front / Maxxis Aggressor rear, EXO tubeless-ready, 2.3-2.35" (29x2.3 on 2019-20, 27.5x2.35 Forekaster on carbon 10.0)
- Vedrustus
- Full-suspension, 4-bar 'X-Link' rear, 140-150 mm rear travel paired with 150-160 mm fork (150/150 carbon 10.0; 145 mm rear via RockShox Deluxe / Fox Float X2 / Manitou McLeod on 2019-20)
- Rooliplokk
- Alloy riser bar 760-780 mm (Syncros FL1.5 / Hixon 2.0) with short matched stem; dropper post standard — SDG Telis / Syncros Duncan 2.5, 125 mm (S) to 150 mm (M-XL); Manitou Jack dropper on carbon 10.0
- Sadul
- Ergon saddle (SMA30 Cro-Mo rails on 2019, SM10 on 2020)
- Geomeetria
- Trail/all-mountain — 65.5° head angle, ~431-485 mm reach across sizes; geometry-adjust flip-chip and headset cup allow 29" / 27.5+ wheel conversion on later models
- Kaal
- 12.59 kg (carbon 10.0, M); ~14.8 kg alloy Trailster 10 (2019); ~15.4 kg alloy Trailster 8 (2020)
Verdikt
- Lively, playful, 'flickable' handling — easy to throw around and confidence-inspiring on technical trails (MBR, Vital).
- Strong component value for a German mid-market price: quality drivetrain (Shimano XT M8000 / SRAM GX Eagle), 4-piston brakes and a dropper post standard even on mid trims.
- Modern, capable geometry — 65.5° head angle and short stem give an all-mountain bias rather than dated XC numbers.
- Adjustable geometry on later models (flip-chip + headset cup) allows 29" / 27.5+ wheel conversion to tune the ride.
- Reliable dropper performance (Manitou Jack on the carbon 10.0 'performed faultlessly').
- Rear triangle suffers noticeable flex — the rear wheel can push off-line under load (MBR).
- Pivot bolts are prone to loosening and need regular checking / Loctite; frame needs frequent maintenance.
- Bottom bracket (Rotor BB on the 10.0) reported creaking after only a few rides.
- Stock shock tune can feel underwhelming/jittery on steep, rocky terrain on some builds.
- Narrow 27 mm rims on the carbon 10.0 let tires fold at low pressure and needed re-tensioning; discontinued line means spares/pivot hardware are harder to source on the used market.
