The Red crank is unusually long for a 52cm bike, but Compton became accustomed to the 175mm length when racing as a tandem pilot for the Paralympics. Compton's SRAM 2012 Red group is fairly straightforward - including the use of Gore Ride-On Professional lined shifter cables - but she uses WickWërks chain rings, an older SRAM front derailleur and a 175mm crank. In the aluminum Ion line, the current top-end model comes with SRAM Rival.

In addition to Trek, the Collective is sponsored by SRAM and Honey Stinger. The members of the Trek Cyclocross Collective are a diverse group of women and men of all ages, from all over the US: ‘wise masters’ racers, young gun juniors, local heroes, and hip cats that bring the pain on the course and spread the fun of cycling’s most punishing discipline.’ Using elite-level athlete feedback in the early stages of product development is a process piloted through the company’s Race Shop and engineering teams that has contributed to every one of Trek’s new racing designs. The move into professional CX racing also provides Trek an opportunity to gain vital athlete feedback for developing cutting-edge racing equipment. Members of the ‘Cross Collective will be piloting the aluminium Trek Ion CX and carbon Cronus CX bikes as they bunnyhop barriers, manhandle mud, and keep the cowbells clanging throughout the domestic race calendar. The team will make its debut on 22 September at the USGP race in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, just down the road from Trek’s global headquarters. “I’m really particular with my equipment so having a hand in helping Trek develop products in the future is really exciting for me.” They’ve really stepped up and given me everything I need to perform,” said Compton. The support their Race Shop provides to athletes is unlike anything else out there. “I’m super excited about working with Trek. The three-time World Championship medallist, who began her professional racing career on Trek’s East Coast Regional Mountain Bike Team, will represent the Collective at world-level events, while a small army of popular domestic regional athletes will bring the world of Trek cyclocross to their local race series’ and the United States Gran Prix. Trek Bicycle has launched the Trek Cyclocross Collective, a US-based ‘cross racing team headlined by eight-time US National Champion, recently signed up Trek sponsored athlete and ‘all-around badass’, Katie Compton.
