The SRAM X.4 shifter gives the Wahoo eight speeds, as well as easy to read gear indication. The Bontrager Low Riser handlebars enable greater control, and more comfort for the rider. When compared to another Trek mountain bike, the Advance, the Trek Wahoo appears to be mostly the same, though it does have some different components (crank, front derailleur, etc). The Trek Wahoo is also available in a version made exclusively for women called the Trek Wahoo WSD. The compents of the two versions are exactly the same, the only difference between the two versions being that the WSD was made and adjusted with women in mind, to provide better comfort and control.
