88 FR vs. Previous 77 given same suspension components...
Luckily, I have a friend that is a long time rider on a Session 77 who just happened to upgrade it to a RockShox Totem Coil and Fox Racing Shox DHX 5.0, so we also got to do a side by side comparison with last years Trek Session 77 with similar component setups. The Session 88 FR was noticeably stiffer and plusher under braking than the previous Session 77. The Session 88 also held lines easier while also feeling like a more stable bike under normal riding. The contrasting seat tube angles will take some getting used to for previous owners of the Session 77, but once you get used to it you will come to enjoy the ability to get your weight back easier.
