Is The Trek 6000 Mountain Bike Worth Buying? [Trek 6000 Review]

Table of Contents

Manufacturers will gradually abandon mountain bikes that are affordable while still providing good value for money.

However, as a cycling enthusiast, you are always looking for a mountain bike that fits you and is suitable for daily use.

With this comprehensive review of the Trek 6000 mountain bike, welcome to the Best Bike Select blog.

What are the Trek 6000 mountain bike’s features, as well as its advantages and disadvantages? We have detailed instructions on how to purchase a it.

Are you in a hurry? Let’s get this party started.

Features of Trek 6000 mountain bike

Stylish appearance (4.0/5).

The Trek 6000, like most men’s mountain bikes, has a dark paint job. The mystery and premium feel of Mount Grey/Gloss Black are palpable.

Gray is one of the most versatile colors, and Mount Grey is one of the few attractive grays. The frame’s exterior design is similar to that of Trek mountain bikes.

The stylish appearance of men’s mountain bikes reflects the rider’s taste.

Alpha Gold Aluminium Frame (4.0/5)

Frame composition: Alpha Gold Aluminum w/semi-integrated head tube, formed down tube w/integrated gusset, formed top tube, monostay seatstay, forged dropouts w/ rack & fender mounts. Smooth welded joints and sturdy special frame construction.

Can accompany the rider for quite a long time. Comfortable headtube angle, perfect for casual riders.

30 speed (4.5/5)

That’s right, the Trek 6000’s 2012-style 3 X10 gear configuration combines to create 30 different speeds.

Despite the fact that 1X mountain bikes are currently popular. An exaggerated 30 different speeds, on the other hand, is a very rare presence in any brand of mountain bike.

It increases the adaptation and learning curve, but this does not deter riders who enjoy multi-speed mountain bikes. Of course, the Trek 6000 is still a 27-speed mountain bike in 2009.

A comfortable ride is impossible to achieve without a good speed mix. You have 30 speeds at your disposal; learn the hard way.

Shock front fork (4.0/5)

The 2009 model had a RockShox Dart 3 shock fork, but the latest 6000 has an SR Suntour XCR-RL shock fork with 100mm of travel.

This is the bare minimum for trail riding, and it’s difficult to match the Trek in terms of shock absorption when compared to the 70-90mm shock forks on cheap mountain bikes.

The shock fork has enough damping effect for riding on rocky roads, but it cannot be ridden intensely for long periods of time, making it unsuitable for intermediate riders.

When the road is flat, the spring knob can be used to suspend the work of the shock fork, allowing the rider to convert the power to maximum and increase the speed of the ride.

26×2.2″ tires (4.0/5)

The Trek 6000 rides on Bontrager 26×2.2″ tires, which are narrow mountain tires with more limitations for riding in difficult terrain. It can ride smoothly and without skidding on muddy trails.

On rough surfaces, it also effectively converts riding power into tire grip.

Hydraulic disc brakes (5/5)

The brakes on the new 6000 mountain bike have been improved. The 2009 Trek 6000 still used Avid BB 5 mechanical brakes, but the new model uses advanced and popular hydraulic disc brakes that require less maintenance or are maintenance-free.

A sharp descending downhill section requires very little force to stop. More drifting maneuvers are also possible. (Because of the danger, newcomers should practice on flat roads first, then move on to mountain roads.)

Adjustable handlebar and seat height (5/5)

When riders select a suitable mountain bike, one of the more debatable points is how well the frame size and height match.

There are a lot of mountain bikes on the market that don’t have much adjustability. The Trek 6000 mountain bike has a handlebar height adjustment with a 15mm rise.

In addition, there is a 9 degree rear sweep. Adjusting the seat height necessitates the use of a tool.

Quick release front and rear wheels

Both the front and rear wheels have quick-release mechanisms for simple maintenance and adjustment at any time.

The installation will also be quite simple; if you want to update some accessories manually, you will only need basic tools to complete them.

• Trek 6000 mountain bike price?

There are still some 2012 Trek 6000 mountain bikes available for purchase offline. The price is expected to be around $800. Depending on whether some of the features have been upgraded.

If you own a used Trek 6000 it will be valued based on the condition of the bike. 2009 Trek 6000 bicycle trade-in price is estimated to be $80.

• Is the Trek 6000 mountain bike worth buying?

The configuration, the 30-speed number, and the hydraulic disc brakes are appealing to beginners.

The integration of these components into a high-quality cross-country mountain bike. It is well worth the money if you are looking to purchase your first mountain bike.

With a comfortable ride, an off-road configuration, and the ability to use it as a commuter bike, this is not a particularly good choice for an intermediate rider.

After all, you want better technical advancements, and woodland adventures necessitate better gear. So whether it’s worthwhile to buy depends on whether you’re a casual rider.

Bicycle Comparison

Trek 820 mountain bike vs trek 6000.

Trek 820 has two types of frames, if you are a female rider, you can consider Trek 820 WSD, a frame suitable for female riding, and the Sky Blue paint is very bright.

There aren’t many differences between the Trek 820 and Trek 6000 in terms of configuration. The Trek 820 is a low-cost mountain bike that can meet the needs of commuting and low-difficulty mountain riding at a low cost.

However, if you enjoy mountain riding, the Trek 6000 is ideal. 30 speeds almost completely outperform the 21-speed configuration, and while 10 and 11 speeds are popular now, I still prefer the 30-speed Trek 6000.

Excellent maneuverability is provided by hydraulic disc brakes. There are also wider tires, which add to the difficulty of mountain riding. The 6000 is an excellent choice for improved mountain riding.

The Trek 820 is currently the hot newbie mountain bike. We have also done a full review of it, if you want to know more you can click more.

Trek Marlin 5 mountain bike vs Trek 6000

The Trek Marlin 5 is very similar to the Trek 6000, and it is not very expensive.

More details, such as the internal alignment, which is cleaner than the Trek 6000 and protects the cables from damage, have been optimized. The same hydraulic disc brakes, no discernible difference in braking effect.

The Trek Marlin 5’s style is enhanced by the gorgeous paint color.

Young people may dislike the dull black, and the bright colors make for a more visually appealing commuter ride.

However, the speed is limited to a 2X8 configuration, which is slightly slower than the Trek 6000. The Trek Marlin 5 is an excellent choice for anyone new to trail riding or looking for a comfortable, stable commuter with the ruggedness of a true mountain bike.

The Trek Marlin 5 is also an excellent replacement for the Trek 6000.

Schwinn High Timber VS Trek 6000

The Schwinn High Timber is one of the best options for those on a tight budget who want to get their hands on one right away, and it also comes with a good warranty.

The Schwinn High Timber is reasonably priced, but it lacks the features of the Trek 6000. 27.5-inch medium size tires are also an inexpensive tire size to replace.

The Schwinn High Timber has mechanical disc brakes front and rear, without the ease of braking with hydraulic brakes, but compared to The Schwinn High Timber is more for the casual rider, and at an affordable price, many entry-level riders like them.

For those who want to know more, we have also done a detailed review specifically for the Schwinn High Timber .

Final rating (4.5/5)

The Trek 6000 is a high-quality mountain bike from Trek that is perfect for entry-level mountain riders. If you are a new mountain rider, you are not familiar with it, but you can get a good impression of the Trek 6000 with this review. Most of the mid-range accessories combined into the Trek 6000 can be ridden in more mountainous areas. Woodlands, trails, and gravel roads all perform well. All in all the Trek 6000 is a good mountain bike and worth buying.

Updated: Trek 6700 review

Sorted if not outstanding all-rounder

Guy Kesteven

The top dog in Trek’s 6000 range is a reliable, responsive and obedient ride, and it’ll have a decent go at most things, from racing to trail centre red routes. However, at this price we’d expect a better fork and overall kit level on what is an adequate rather than outstanding frame.

Ride & handling: Well-balanced overall ride that’s ready for anything

With a long (105mm) stem and a PopLoc remote lockout lever under your thumb, the first impressions of the 6700 are that it's designed for racing rather than more casual use. This also sets up a swift but safe rather than cut-and-thrust handling character that’s carried right thought the bike.

The mid-width 660mm low-riser bar gives enough leverage to coax it into corners without too much effort though, and it’s well balanced enough to surf the slippery-when-wet Bontrager tyres through boggy sections, or otherwise treacherous corners.

The neutral feel was appreciated by less aggressive riders, and the general feedback from all our testers was that it was a “safe and confident ride”. It’s not the lightest bike at this price but still hops and pops around well if you need to lift it over rather than roll through.

It climbs and drives out of corners with encouraging purpose too, and it’s comfortable enough to make day-long rides easy rather than a test of endurance. The reduced control of the TurnKey (rather than Motion Control) damping circuit of the RockShox Recon fork becomes more noticeable the harder you push the bike, though.

While the low (11.75in) bottom bracket aids stability, it sometimes makes itself noticed by pedal-to-ground strikes when you’re riding through bumpy corners. But you soon get used to such limitations. It’s essentially a well designed and reasonably equipped all-rounder that’s sprightly enough to make £1,200 seem well spent.

Frame & equipment: We'd hope for a better chassis and fork at this price

The 6700 is the most expensive model that uses Trek’s mid-range Alpha Black aluminium frameset. It’s a competent chassis with a balanced cross-country-style geometry. Features include a twin taper reinforced down tube, a big hydroformed top tube and a semi-integrated head tube.

There are three sets of bottle cage bosses and eyelets for a rack and mudguards, all of which point to the bike's all-rounder credentials and workhorse rather than thoroughbred breeding.

Going with the relatively cheap frameset doesn’t reap the dividends you might expect when it comes to kit. Specifically, while the TurnKey damper equipped Recon SL fork offers reasonable compression and rebound control, it's definitely lacking in composure compared with the RockShox Motion Control or Fox forks found on some other hardtails at this price.

The Shimano XT chainset and rear mech spec is diluted by SLX front mech and shifters, although these keep shifting just as slick and precise as XT. Avid's Elixir brakes are powerful performers, well suited to the bike's intended use.

The fat-carcass 2.2in XDX tyres on broad Bontrager Ranger rims add a welcome dose of float and comfortable buoyancy to the bike, as long as you’re prepared to ride the slide of the non-directional tread. The wheels aren't especially light but they're tough enough to take a bit of punishment.

The rest of the finishing parts are mid-range Bontrager tagged offerings, including a 660mm low-rise bar, comfy saddle, lightweight single-bolt seatpost and decent stem. The whole thing isn’t as light as we’d hope for a £1,200 racer though, at 11.7kg (25.8lb, without pedals).

History of Tula Oblast

Ancient people began to settle in the territory of today’s Tula Oblast at the end of the Paleolithic (about 12 thousand years ago). In the early Iron Age (about 3 thousand year ago), the tribes of the Verkhneoksk archaeological culture appeared (the Balts).

In the 8th century, the Slavic tribe of Vyatichi came to this region in place of the Balts. They were engaged in cattle breeding, farming, crafts. At first, the Vyatichi paid tributes to the Khazars, and then they became part of the Old Russian state. In 907, they took part in the campaign of Prince Oleg against Tsargrad (Constantinople).

In the 12th century, the town of Dedoslavl (presumably, the present village of Dedilovo in Kireevsky district) appeared - a fortified craft and trade center, a place of gathering of the elders of the Vyatichi. By the 13th century, the smoothing of tribal features led to the disappearance of the tribal name Vyatich.

Having fallen into the sphere of influence of Kievan Rus, the territory of the Tula region for a long time remained a wild pagan land. After the collapse of Kievan Rus, this land became part of the Chernigov princedom. In the 13th century, the Mongol invasion swept through the territory of the region.

More historical facts…

In 1380, in the southeastern part of the present Tula region, at the confluence of the rivers of Nepryadva and Don, the Kulikovo battle took place, which initiated the liberation of the Russian lands from the Golden Horde yoke.

In 1503, the Tula lands became part of the Moscow Grand Duchy. In the beginning of the 16th century, the fortress of Tula was founded. In the 16th-17th centuries, it was an important fortified town located on the southern outskirts of the Moscow state.

The industrial development of the region began in the 17th century. In 1696, the Tula blacksmith Nikita Demidov built the first blast furnaces and workshops at the mouth of the Tulitsa River, which were the beginning of the development of blacksmithing in Tula.

The town became one of the centers of Russian metallurgy and metalworking. In 1712, according to the decree of Peter the Great, the State Arms Factory was established in Tula, which produced weapons for the Russian army. In 1719, the Tula region was formed. In 1777, it became a gubernia (province). At the same time, the production of samovars, gingerbread, accordions began to develop in Tula.

In 1855, the Malevskaya mine (to the south of Bogoroditsk) was put into operation, regular coal mining began in the Moscow region basin, the oldest coal mining region of Russia discovered in 1722. The development of industry in the province was facilitated by the construction of the railways: “Moscow-Kursk” in 1864-1868 and “Syzran-Vyazma” in 1870-1874.

In 1929, the Tula Governorate was abolished, its territory became part of the Central Industrial Region. In September 1937, it once again became a separate region. During the Second World War, Tula defensive and offensive operations were carried out on the territory of the Tula region.

For the courage and steadfastness shown by the defenders of Tula in the defense of the city, which played an important role in stopping the Wehrmacht offensive and subsequent defeating of enemy troops near Moscow, Tula was awarded the honorary title Hero City.

In the post-war years, the machine-building, chemical, metallurgical, and coal industries were further developed in the Tula region, research institutes and design bureaus were established.

Tula Oblast - Features

Tula Oblast is located in the center of the East European (Russian) plain, within the zone of deciduous forests and forest-steppe. The length of the territory of the region from north to south is 200 km, from west to east - 190 km.

The climate is moderately continental, characterized by moderately cold winters with frequent thaws and warm summers. The average temperature in January is minus 10 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 20 degrees Celsius.

Tula Oblast was badly damaged as a result of radioactive fallout after the Chernobyl disaster, tens of thousands of hectares of land were contaminated and became unusable for agriculture. Forests occupy about 13% of the territory. Most of the rivers (about 80%) belong to the Oka basin, the largest and only navigable river in the region, a small part - to the Don basin.

The distance from the center of Tula to the center of Moscow is about 185 kilometers. The region has a relatively well developed transport network.

About 50% of ore deposits of the Moscow region coal basin, estimated at 1.5 billion tons, are concentrated in the Tula region. In the south-west, there are large deposits of peat. The region also has significant deposits of iron ore, strontium ores, various building materials including limestone, clay, sand, gypsum.
