Trek Supercaliber Goes Rigid – Travers EVO Prong Carbon Fork Conversion

One of the questions I get asked regularly is, “Will the Travers EVO Prong work on modern XC race bikes?”
The answer is yes.
This Trek Supercaliber has just been fitted with a Travers EVO Prong carbon fork, transforming an already lightweight and efficient race bike into an even simpler, lighter and lower-maintenance machine. The clean lines of the Supercaliber frame pair surprisingly well with the matte black fork, giving the bike a purposeful XC race-bike look while retaining plenty of tyre clearance for modern tyres.
The EVO Prong is designed around modern Boost standards and suspension-corrected geometry, making it a straightforward option for riders looking to experiment with a rigid setup without dramatically altering the handling of their bike. At just 680g, it offers a significant weight saving over most suspension forks while maintaining precise steering and excellent front-end stiffness.
Rigid bikes aren’t for everyone, but for smoother XC courses, winter training, endurance riding, bikepacking, and riders who simply enjoy the direct connection to the trail, a quality carbon fork can completely change the character of a bike.
I don’t sell Trek bikes, but I do love seeing the EVO Prong fitted to different brands and models. It helps demonstrate just how versatile the fork is, whether it’s being used on a dedicated race bike, a bikepacking build or a lightweight trail machine.
If you’ve fitted a Travers fork to your bike, send over some photos—it’s always great to see the different builds people create.
