trek 5200 oclv carbon 120

Our strongest, lightest carbon yet

OCLV Carbon is Trek’s patented carbon fiber process, the result of more than 25 years of experience building the world’s finest carbon fiber bicycles in Waterloo, Wisconsin, USA. Experience matters, especially when working with a material that holds seemingly endless possibilities but presents such unique challenges as carbon fiber. To understand the best technology, you have to build it, and we’ve been doing just that since 1991.

Why OCLV Carbon?

A well-built carbon frame dramatically reduces weight compared to metallic materials, while maintaining the strength and stiffness that high performance bicycles and their riders demand. This is where Trek’s pioneered and patented OCLV Carbon—an acronym for Optimum Compaction Low Void—process comes in. OCLV Carbon frames begin with the best material available. Trek has spent countless development hours perfecting the construction of a variety of weights and types of carbon (cloth, unidirectional, etc.). The OCLV process is best explained when broken down into two parts:

Optimum Compaction: Carbon is layered into a series of plies compacted to the ideal fiber-resin ratio. The process starts with cutting carbon fiber from large sheets to a specific shape which is then placed into a mold. A combination of heat and pressure then compresses the sheets of carbon into a carbon lug. This combination of heat and pressure is OCLV’s most essential and closely guarded equation. Low Void: Voids are the spaces that exist between the layers of carbon fiber that comprise a component or frame. Minimizing these voids is the primary goal of quality carbon engineering, as more voids translates to reduced strength and durability of the composite material. OCLV Carbon exceeds aerospace standards regarding the number of voids in its material.

Shapes matter

In addition to sizeable reductions in weight, the largest advantage of carbon fiber frames over another material are the limitless shapes that the material can be molded into. Different shapes exhibit different strength, stiffness, and aerodynamic properties. Trek utilizes Finite Element Analysis, a comprehensive software simulation toolkit, to tell us exactly how different shapes will respond to different riders and riding surfaces. We utilize proven theories of fluid mechanics through Computational Fluid Dynamics in order to explore the aerodynamic properties of various designs. Our bikes are conceived with computer-generated designs, fluid-dynamically assessed and finite analyzed, and the resulting shapes appear seamlessly machine-made. At the end of the day, these complex scientific investigations are applied in a hands-on, ground-up process that combines multiple molds with a variety of carbon materials to result in a magnificently engineered and largely hand-built product.

OCLV Mountain

Mountain biking is about pushing the limit of where your bike can take you. Riding on every conceivable surface in hostile conditions takes a toll on any material. To develop OCLV Mountain, Trek’s engineers developed a methodology borrowed from the aerospace industry to ensure our frames were up to the challenge: Retained Strength. The philosophy is simple and based around the single question of how durable a frame remains following impact. By employing different composite materials in unique layups specifically in typical high damage areas, Trek’s engineers have created frames that now retain their ability to bear load after an impact surpassing even their aluminum counterparts.

Carbon armor

Taking durability to another level, Trek’s development team created Carbon Armor, a highly refined elastomeric designed to slow down and spread the distribution of a sharp impact to the frame. Carbon Armor essentially decreases the immediate impact of a rough hit the frame feels, leaving you feeling more confident than ever to go after that next drop.

Built to last

Trek builds bikes to last and we stand behind every one that we bears our name. Just as the first Trek hand-welded over forty years ago in a red barn, our first full carbon frame is still under warranty. All OCLV Carbon bicycles come with a limited lifetime warranty, because we believe that more people riding bikes is in everybody’s best interest.

I believe the numbers are 120 OCLV for the 5000 frame, and 110 for the 5500. Is there any real difference with this? In stiffness, weight, cosmetics? Any input would be appreciated.

But the frame ain't any lighter, the weight reduction only results from the fork (Bontrager Race XXX-lite). But why don't you look for an '03 or '04 5200? The paint doesn't look as cheap as the new 5000s IMO... Beaver

Value of a trek oclv carbon 120 USPS (United States Postal Service)?

• Add to quote

HELP??!! Value of a trek oclv carbon 120 USPS (United States Postal Service)? Hi guys, i've had this bike for a while, but i think its time for her to move on, as it just sits there and over the year or 2 ive had it i've only done about 100 miles on it, although im not quite sure how much to ask for it? its all standard apart from a pro-lite rear wheel and a race-lite front wheel. The bike has no scratches or anything what so ever and still rides like new, also fitted is a profile design airstryke 2000 aero bar, so could anyone give me an approximate price? many thanks, Andrew.  

I sold my Trek 5200 USPS last year for $700 at the height of the Armstrong scandal. It was in very good condition, no crashes, a few minor scratches.  

I just paid $300 for a 5500 OCLV (not USPS colors). It needed some new shifters and wheels ($200 on CL) and it is riding great. All told I have $550 in the bike (new grip tape and 10sp cassette off CL) and the guys at the LBS said I did well. You can probably get $600-$800 from someone not motivated to do a little work on a project, but you may have to be patient.  

I still ride mine. It's a good bike and it was built for professional racing, at least it was used as such for years. That said, after all this time it's not in the same league as some of the newer bikes. A great bike to ride, use and not care about so much(as in chance of bad weather)  

look at ebay. frames in good condition sell for $450-ish. what size is it?  

im not sure, i know its the biggest frame size available tho
