MY starts in May… so yes MY 23 is May 2022-April 2023. Trek only does so many runs of a bike model per year… They don’t keep track of inventory sitting on the dealers show room floor or storages. Trek (and other companies) only care about their inventory on hand at their warehouses, that is why online Trek shows out of stock and recommends calling your LBS for local inventory
