Kilian Jornet, trail running legend, has embarked on his new challenge, States of Elevation, an adventure combining cycling and hiking to autonomously connect peaks over 4,267 meters in the United States. Trek is supporting him in this adventure.
For 16 days, Jornet explored the demanding terrain of Colorado, alternating cycling and hiking to climb the 56 public peaks over 4,000 meters in the state. This journey included mythical routes such as LA Freeway, the Elks, and Nolan’s 14, as well as emblematic peaks like Mount Elbert and Pikes Peak.
Faced with storms, strong winds, and technical terrain, Jornet pushed his physical and technical limits, both on foot and by bike. To accompany him, Trek provided two custom-made bikes: the Checkpoint, designed for the roughest gravel trails, and the Madone, optimized for long asphalt roads. Each bike, featuring a unique paint job and SRAM components, was designed to meet the demands of this adventure.
States of Elevation stands out for its sustainable and innovative approach, perfectly aligned with Trek’s values, which advocate respect for nature and the spirit of adventure cycling.
Building on this successful first stage in Colorado, Jornet is preparing to continue his journey through other states, always autonomously, in what promises to be one of the most audacious adventures of his career.
