Bergamont Trailster (non-electric)
Origin
Trailster was Bergamont's all-mountain / trail platform during the second half of the 2010s, sitting between the XC-oriented Revox hardtail and the longer-travel Encore enduro bike. The architecture was a four-bar Horst-link layout with 130-150 mm rear travel paired to a 140-160 mm fork, 27.5-inch wheels initially and a 29-inch version added later (Trailster 29). The 'Sport' trim was usually the second-from-bottom rung of the lineup — entry-level Shimano SLX/Deore drivetrain, RockShox or Suntour suspension, no carbon parts — positioned as a first 'proper' trail bike at a German mid-market price. The non-electric Trailster line was effectively wound down around 2019-2020 as the market shifted toward e-MTB, and Bergamont consolidated the all-mountain segment into the E-Trailster 130/150 platform with Bosch Performance Line CX. Today the Trailster name survives only in the electric E-Trailster sub-brand.
