"IsoSpeed decoupler
A technological revolution. IsoSpeed isolates the seat tube from the rest of the frameset, doubling compliance and comfort with zero performance drawbacks."

I think the IsoSpeed decoupler first popped up in the Domane line, but as it has found its way to the Boone range, hopefully Trek will bring it to their hybrids one day.
