Trek 2010 Catalogs

Trek has built a legacy of making the world's best bikes since 1976. For the better half of the past decade—with help of HDC—the world's number one bike brand has gone beyond great bike manufacturer to an understanding of just how riding can change the world. Biking is the simple solution to some of the world's most complex problems. HDC was enlisted to help tell this story.

Approach

For many years, HDC has been helping Trek deliver their buyer's guide to dealers all around the world. But 2010's books were different. Each of these books had a story tell. And a message—"Go by bike."

Solution

In 2010, HDC was responsible for the MTB and Lifestyle catalogs in the USA and for the full international books. Each had all the beautiful mix of lifestyle and product-focused design and photography that have made these Trek books some of the consensus best in the industry. They also took a rich storytelling approach. MTB focused on its Brand Champions and what they thought of each line of bikes and the Lifestyle books concentrated on how bikes are the simple solution to complex problems. The international compilation also included Road bikes and wrapped all of what Trek does beautifully together in one dealer guide.

Results

These multi-award-winning catalogs helped Trek broadcast their most important messages throughout the community and the world. They also drove sales and helped dealers tell a more robust message.
