Is from an era when Trek USA Built Carbon Fiber Bikes that exceed aerospace build standards, while at the same time the mighty 9900 was the worlds lightest production mountain bike!

At only 25 pounds this super flyweight was really an out of the box racer. Look her over and you can tell this Trek 9900 XC is a serious Mountain /XC Bike. In the early 1990s, Treks director of technology, Bob Read, attended an aerospace industry trade show in Salt Lake City, Utah, eventually meeting up with a closed mold tooling company called Radius Engineering.

That visit convinced Bob that Treks future success depended on building frames from carbon fiber, a material he envisioned could be used to make light, strong frames. Having lived through the troubled introduction of the 5000, Trek invested heavily in in-house carbon fiber manufacturing capabilities. In 1992 Trek unveiled its first home-grown, full-carbon framed bicycles, the 5500 and 5200, featuring OCLV Carbon frames. OCLV stands for Optimum Compaction, Low Void and refers to Treks proprietary process for creating carbon structures that exceed aerospace standards.

Weighing only 2.44 lb (1.11 kg), the 5500 frames was the worlds lightest production road frame. To make room for its new OCLV manufacturing facility, Trek expanded its Waterloo headquarters again to a total of 140,000 sq ft. In 1993 Trek introduced its first OCLV Carbon mountain bike frames, the 9800 and the 9900, which at 2.84 lb. Was the worlds lightest production mountain bike frame.
