A hybrid bike can and will mean different things to different people. But sometimes it is simply the bike that fills the gaps, that doesn't do any one thing but in fact does it all. Purists may scoff and say to compromise is to ruin the essence of life: if you are not something, you are nothing. But Trek has offered a repost: if you can't be something, be everything.

That certainly appears to be the aim of the Trek FX 2 Disc Equipped. It's the jack-of-all-trades, odd-jobber of a bike. It comes, as the name suggests, fully loaded with a pannier rack, lights, mudguards and even a kickstand but what elevates it to a place among the best budget hybrid bikes available today is that, as part of Trek's fitness range, all that versatility does not come at the cost of all rideability. 

And that's a crucial element. Just because a bike has more practical functions – going to the shops, commuting, family bike rides etc – doesn't mean it can't be fun, have its own personality and leave us looking forward to running that next errand.

Trek's FX range of bikes is quite extensive, starting at the £500.00/$599.99 FX 1 and going all the way to the full-carbon £3,050.00/$2,799.99 FX Sport 6. The FX 2 is available with a step-through frame – in both the Equipped and standard versions – and has been updated for 2023, with the main difference from the 2021 model being a move from a 3x8 to a 2x9 gearing system.

The FX 2 Disc Equipped is priced at £740.00 - it's not currently available in the USA - which is £90 more than the FX 2 Disc standard (£650.00/$799.99) which foregoes the rack, lights, mudguards and kickstand. Although it does come in a couple of extra colour options.

Design and specification

Recognising alloy frames' bad reputation for comfort compared to steel and carbon, Trek set itself a goal to "build more compliant frames that retain the acceleration and affordability that have always made aluminium popular" – and it is the fruit of that labour that the FX 2 Disc Equipped is designed around. 

The Alpha Gold Aluminium frame, while not the lightest, does offer a great balance between responsiveness and comfort. It is also strong: according to Trek, the FX 2 Disc can take weights of up to 136kg (for bike, rider, and cargo combined), which fares well compared to other hybrid bikes in the same class such as the Merida Speeder 200 (120kg) and Scott Sub Cross 50 (128kg). The pannier rack that comes with it is also very solid and suitable for carrying loads up to 25kg despite weighing less than 600g itself.

My size large test bike as a whole weighed in at 13.4kg with pedals. The rack, lights, mudguards, and kickstand account for just over a kilogram of that weight but it's still a touch on the heavy side for a fixed-frame hybrid in this price range. 

While the focus is on the practicality of the frame, it is by no means ugly – especially when stripped of all the accessories – with internal cable routing, a gentle curve to the top tube that is reminiscent of the Specialized Sirrus (one of the classic beauties of the hybrid world) and the choice of a striking Viper Red or classy Lithium grey colourway. The geometry is pretty much what you would expect from a hybrid, with perhaps a slightly longer chainstay length adding to its stability. It is not as upright as, say, the Sirrus but similar to the Cannondale Quick 3 – which is a good bike to use as a comparison in general.

Like the Quick 3, the Trek FX 2 comes with a Shimano Acera/Altus 2x9 drivetrain and has an integrated mounting system in the stem, as well as the ability to track cadence and other metrics using an integrated wireless sensor. 

Trek's Blendr stem system is designed for easy installation of computers, lights and other accessories to your cockpit. It does, rather annoyingly, require an additional base to be purchased (which plugs into the stem) and then a further mount for the specific accessory (which attaches to the base) but that does allow for a wide range of options to suit all needs.  

The DuoTrap S is a Bluetooth/ANT+ sensor that integrates into the chainstay and wirelessly transmits to a smartphone or computer to track cadence and other metrics. Again, it requires a separate purchase, but the frame is set up for it to be attached without the need for zip wires or other ungainly fasteners.   

Trek has made an effort to include ergonomic grips on the FX 2 Disc Equipped, although they are a little on the basic side, especially compared to those on the more expensive models in the FX range. 

The lights, however, are far more impressive, particularly the AXA Greenline 35 headlight. USB-charging, it has a wide beam, is also designed to be visible from the side and is discreetly mounted on the top of the fork, which avoids cluttering the cockpit.

The Tektro HD-R280 hydraulic disc brakes are pretty standard now for mid-range hybrids. My test bike came with Bontrager H2 Comp 700x32c tyres but with the mudguards fitted there is room for up to 35mm and Bontrager H2 Hard-Case Light 700x35c tyres are listed as an option on the spec sheet. Without the mudguards, Trek says the frame can accommodate tyres up to 38mm in width.

Performance

Trek deserves credit here for really delivering on its aim of a responsive-yet-compliant frame. It's one thing coming up with the jargon, but another bringing it to fruition at a genuinely affordable price. While the FX 2 Disc Equipped might come across as a bit of a plodder on paper, in reality, it has a surprising amount of responsiveness. Loaded up with a carry pack on top of the pannier rack, I was happy overtaking other cyclists on reasonably fast country roads, knowing I had the acceleration to get past and back across to the side of the road in ample time.

Yes, it's no speed demon – it doesn't have the playfulness of the Boardman URB 8.9 or the lightweight climbing ability of the Merida Speeder 200, two bikes at a similar price point – but where it completely outscores both is in comfort and stability, even with a rack, mudguards, light, kickstand all bolted on. 

Interestingly enough, I took it for a ride with all those added extras stripped off and, while significantly lighter – making an obvious difference on climbs – there was not a huge noticeable change in its performance on the flat. 

My test bike came with a slightly-different-to-advertised Microshift Marvo front derailleur instead of Acera T3000, which is roughly equivalent, and I had no issues with it. However, as a whole, I did find the drivetrain to be under-par for a fitness bike. It's perfectly functional and will get you pretty much wherever you need to go, but it is a little clunky and I noted that the next bike up in the FX range, the FX 3 Disc Equipped , comes with a 10-speed Shimano Deore groupset which, in my experience, is a huge step up in performance. 

In particular, I could not get to grips with the drastic change when switching chainrings on the 46/30 chainset. If I didn't downshift on the 4th sprocket or earlier I found myself spinning out – and this is perhaps a rare example of the FX 2 Disc Equipped coming a little unstuck wanting to satisfy in all areas. That 16-tooth difference in the chainrings (the same difference as a 50/34 compact road chainset, for example) means the bike has the range to get up steep hills while also having enough gas on the flats, but the user experience is compromised a little in doing so. 

Where it doesn't compromise, however, is in its comfort and handling, whether I took it on potholed roads, bike paths, or light gravel it felt so balanced and stable. I was even happy taking it on the grassy, rutted track of a nearby nature reserve – and this was all with the standard 32 mm tyres it came with. Even when there was a little rattling, you could tell it was coming from the rack, fenders, and lights rather than the frame. 

Taking it out at night in light rain did little to change my faith in its dependability and the lights were superb, particularly the wide-beam fork-mounted headlamp – a marked improvement from the usual glorified-torch-on-the-handlebars setup I usually use. Neither front nor rear light offered an intermittent option but, having been driven to distraction on long night rides behind blinking bulbs in the past, that was no great loss to me.

I took the Trek FX 2 Disc Equipped on rides around the countryside, trips to the shops, rides with the kids, rides at night, in the rain, for exercise, for errands and more, and on every occasion, it delivered. It is solid and dependable without feeling clunky or cumbersome. It's not sexy but it's not ugly. It's not overly fun but it's no chore to ride.

It will do what it needs to do in almost every situation you will need a hybrid bike for. Not necessarily to the highest level, but to a high enough level that you won't feel like you are missing out. 

Yes, I did find the Altus/Acera groupset to be restrictive in terms of performance but drivetrains can be upgraded, along with wheels and grips and seatposts etc. Having a top frame is such a great building block. I would stress, however, this frame still has a ceiling to what it can do as a fitness bike, even if it were upgraded in all those areas. It is built for sturdiness as much as anything else and the fact that its performance was similar with and without the rack, fenders, kickstand et al is quite telling. I'm not going to use it to take on the Brecon Beacons in the Dragon Ride but I might choose it over a more expensive performance-oriented bike for a long-distance overnight ride such as the Dunwich Dynamo , where comfort, stability and safety are the overriding priorities.

Trek FX 2 Review: Ultimate Guide To The Fitness Hybrid Gravel Grinder

  • by Riding With Ryan (Official)

My first bike from a legitimate bike shop was a Trek FX 2 Disc. There have been several changes over the years, almost all making this bike even better. If you are just getting into cycling and are interested in this Trek FX 2 review, be very careful. This bike will draw you into cycling, and soon you will start obsessing about saving grams, LYCRA, and Strava KOMs. Also, be sure to check out this 2022 Trek FX 3 review .

No need to worry about high prices with this bike. In other words, the Trek FX 2 is an awesome bike with a low price point, below $1,000. So what kind of bike is it, and who is it good for? These are both questions we will answer, and more, in this Trek FX 2 review. After that, you will want to call your bike shop to setup a test ride.

What Kind Of Bike Is The Trek FX 2?

The Trek FX 2 is a fitness hybrid bike. A hybrid bike is simply any bike that doesn’t fall into a specific category like road bike, mountain bike or cruiser. Fitness hybrids are bikes with similar geometry to an endurance road bike, but it will have flat handlebars instead of traditional road bike drop bars.

Fitness hybrid bikes can be ridden in the road, on light gravel, or a combination of the two. They make great bikes for commuting, as well as making an awesome gravel bike with flat bars. It really is a do-it all bike that’s good at everything, great at nothing.

For a long time I ran two different sets of wheels on my Trek FX 2. I had a set of wheels with 40mm gravel tires, and I replaced the stock 35mm tires for some slightly more aggressive 32mm road tires for the factory wheelset. Eventually tire upgrades were not enough and I started buying upgraded bikes. However, I love my Trek FX 2 so much I still own it today.

Who Is The Trek FX 2 Good For?

The Trek FX 2 is made for anyone looking for a high quality ride without sacrificing comfort. This bike is incredibly fast to anyone not already riding a road bike. With beefier tires its a capable endurance bike.

The Trek FX 2 has multiple rack and fender mounts for commuters, and plenty of storage add-ons available for tourers.

It’s not often a single bike fills the holes of so many different riding disciplines. This Trek FX 2 review may be the first bike review I’ve done that covers road biking, fitness, gravel, and recreational riding. All of which are extremely fun and comfortable on the FX 2. The only riding discipline the FX 2 isn’t good for is mountain biking.

Trek FX 2 Gravel Upgrades

One of the most popular questions in the bike shop these days is about gravel bikes. Its an awesome riding discipline that has exploded in popularity for good reason. An easy and affordable way to ride gravel is with the Trek FX 2.

The maximum tire size recommended by Trek for the FX 2 Disc model is a 38mm tire. I have first hand experience fitting 40mm tires on my Trek FX 2 without a single issue. Above all, you don’t want to risk your warranty. It’s best to stay within the specifications Trek recommends. Adding fenders restricts that maximum tire size to 35mm.

After the new tires the FX 2 is ready to shred your next gravel trail. Modifying grips and saddles, as well as adding clipless pedals are all recommendations I would make. Getting those accessories specifically for gravel riding will only enhance your riding experience.

Gravel Purists, or Gravel Snobs, will not appreciate your flat bar gravel bike. Gravel bikes have drop handlebars. Some forged bar ends hanging down should be the final touch to keep everyone happy. They will also give you some additional hand positions on longer rides.

Is the Trek FX 2 Worth It?

Yes, the 2022 Trek FX 2 Disc is certainly worth it’s $779.99 price tag. Save the extra $150 to afford the Trek FX 3 Disc. It comes with an upgraded group set and a carbon fork to eat up additional vibrations from the road. In other words, you can’t go wrong with any Trek FX model.

The 2022 Trek FX 2 Disc bikes come in two color options. Firstly, is Trek’s traditional Satin Lithium Gray that has been a color option every year on the FX model. The second color option is absolute fire. It is Satin Viper Red and it looks amazing.

I love the Viper Red for two reasons. Firstly, it makes the bike look great and look fast. Secondly, is the way the color stands out. Someone driving by is going to see this Viper Red bike. If they see you they are less likely to run you over. Which is, you know, a great thing!

Trek FX 2 Disc vs Rim Brakes

Trek offers the FX 1 and 2 models in rim brake and disc brake versions. The FX 3 is disc brakes only. What exactly is the difference, and are disc brakes worth the upgrade? Lets dive into those details.

First, the difference between disc and rim brakes can be dramatic. Disc brakes provide better stopping power in all conditions. The Tour De France was won on rim brakes for over 100 years, but you can’t argue against disc brake stopping ability.

The only reason someone should consider rim brakes over disc brakes is if their budget requires it. Riding a rim brake bike is better than riding no bike at all. Also, many dry climates won’t notice much difference between disc and rim brakes. The differences are more noticeable in wet riding conditions.

In conclusion, if you aren’t sure which model of FX is best for you I’d recommend browsing through the details on Trek’s website. Also, you can read this 2022 Trek FX 3 review .

I just bought a Trek FX 2 Disc at Scheels Grand Forks, North Dakota on July 22nd, 2023. They installed cheap brake: RUSH bake system and Cheap tire 700x32c with no name on it into my bike. These components were not as specifications on sale list at Scheels Grand Forks, North Dakota. The bake system should be Tektro HD-R280 and the tires should be Bontrager H2 Comp, 700x35c. First, they said that they will replace the brake and the tire as the specifications on the sale list. Then they call me to come back to the store and told me they only change the tires to the Bontrager H2 Comp, and if I want to change the brake I have to pay for the labor. I really disappointed about this. To my experience, you should check out the component of the Trek bike before you buy it. If you don’t, maybe your Trek bike get a cheap component installed on it.

Specialized Sirrus vs Trek Fx Bikes (7 Helpful Differences)

Specialized Sirrus vs Trek Fx Bikes (7 Helpful Differences)

When it comes to choosing a bike, there are many factors to consider. Two of the most popular brands on the market are Specialized Sirrus and Trek Fx. Both offer a wide range of bikes for different purposes, so it can be tough to decide which is right for you.

To help you make your decision, we’ve put together a comparison of Specialized Sirrus bikes and Trek Fx bikes.

Specialized Sirrus vs Trek Fx Bikes

Both brands offer a wide range of bike types, from road bikes to mountain bikes. However, Sirrus specializes in hybrid bikes, while Trek focuses more on performance-oriented bikes. If you’re looking for a bike to use for commuting or leisure riding, Sirrus is a great option.

However, if you’re looking for a bike to take on tougher trails or race, Trek is the better choice.

In terms of pricing, Sirrus bikes are generally more affordable than Trek bikes. However, Trek offers more premium options that come at a higher price tag.

When it comes to features, both brands offer a wide range of options. However, Sirrus bikes tend to be more basic, while Trek offers more advanced features. For example, Sirrus bikes typically have steel frames, while Trek offers aluminum and carbon fiber frames.

Trek also tends to offer more suspension options, making their bikes better suited for off-road riding.

In terms of size, Sirrus bikes are typically smaller than Trek bikes. This makes them a better choice for riders who are on the shorter side.

However, Trek offers a wide range of sizes, so you’re sure to find one that fits you well.

Finally, when it comes to warranty, Sirrus offers a lifetime warranty on their frames and a two-year warranty on their components. Trek offers a similar warranty on their bikes.

It depends on your needs and budget. If you’re looking for a bike to use for commuting or leisure riding, Sirrus is a great option.

However, if you’re looking for a bike to take on tougher trails or race, Trek is the better choice. It comes down to what you need the bike for and how much you’re willing to spend.

Specialized Sirrus Bikes

Specialized Sirrus Bikes

Specialized Sirrus vs Trek Fx Bikes Frame

When it comes to choosing a bike, there are many factors to consider. One important factor is the frame. The frame of a bike can have a big impact on the ride quality, weight, and durability of the bike. Two popular choices for bike frames are the Specialized Sirrus and the Trek Fx.

Here is a comparison of the Specialized Sirrus and Trek Fx frames:

Specialized Sirrus:

  • The Specialized Sirrus frame is made from lightweight aluminum. This makes the bike lighter and easier to ride.
  • The frame is designed to provide a comfortable, upright riding position. This is ideal for casual riders who want to be able to see and enjoy the scenery.
  • The Sirrus frame is also designed for easy pedaling. This makes it a great choice for people who want to get around quickly or ride long distances.
  • The Trek Fx frame is made from durable steel. This makes the bike heavier but also more durable.
  • The frame is designed to provide a sporty riding position. This is ideal for riders who want to go fast and have a more aggressive riding style.
  • The Trek Fx frame is also designed for easy pedaling. This makes it a great choice for people who want to get around quickly or ride long distances.

If you want a lighter, more comfortable bike for casual riding, then the Specialized Sirrus is a great choice. If you want a more durable, sporty bike for a more aggressive riding style, then the Trek Fx is a great choice.

Both bikes are designed for easy pedaling , so they are both great choices for people who want to get around quickly or ride long distances.

Specialized Sirrus vs Trek Fx Bikes Groupset

Bike groupset is a very important factor to consider when purchasing a new bike. There are many different types of groupsets available on the market, and each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Two of the most popular groupsets on the market are the Specialized Sirrus and Trek Fx Bikes. Both of these groupsets have their unique features and benefits, so it is important to compare them before making a decision.

Specialized Sirrus Bikes Groupset:

  • The Specialized Sirrus Bikes groupset is designed for use on road bikes. It is one of the lightest groupsets on the market, and it offers great shifting performance. The only downside to this groupset is that it is not compatible with mountain bikes.

Trek Fx Bikes Groupset:

  • The Trek Fx Bikes groupset is designed for use on both road and mountain bikes. It is a bit heavier than the Specialized Sirrus, but it offers excellent shifting performance and durability. The only downside to this groupset is that it is not compatible with some older model bikes.

Specialized Sirrus vs Trek Fx Bikes Wheels

Specialized Sirrus vs Trek Fx Bikes Wheels

When it comes to choosing a bike, there are many factors to consider. One important choice is between a specialized Sirrus bike and a Trek FX bike. Both offer great options for riders, but they have some key differences in terms of wheels.

The Specialized Sirrus has 700c wheels, which are the standard size for most adult bikes. They are a good choice for riders who want a bike that is versatile and can be used on a variety of terrain. The Trek FX has 26-inch wheels, which are smaller and better suited for road riding.

If you plan to do mostly road cycling, the Trek FX may be a better option.

Both the Specialized Sirrus and the Trek FX have strong and durable wheels. However, the Sirrus has slightly wider tires , which may provide more traction and stability on rough terrain. If you plan to do a lot of off-road riding, the Sirrus may be the better.

When it comes to choosing between a Specialized Sirrus and a Trek FX, it is important to consider your riding needs. Both bikes have great features, but they differ in terms of wheels. Consider your terrain and intended use to choose the bike that will be best for you.

Specialized Sirrus vs Trek Fx Bikes Tires

One of the biggest differences between the Specialized Sirrus and Trek FX bikes is the tires.

The Specialized Sirrus comes with specialized tires that are designed for speed and efficiency, while the Trek FX comes with wider, more comfortable tires that are better suited for leisurely rides or commuting.

The Specialized Sirrus tires are faster and more efficient, but they can be more difficult to ride on rough terrain. The Trek FX tires are wider and more comfortable, but they can slow you down on smoother roads.

Ultimately, the choice between these two types of tires depends on your riding style and what kind of bike you want to use.

If you’re looking for a bike that’s fast and efficient, the Specialized Sirrus is a great option. However, if you’re looking for a bike that’s more comfortable and versatile, the Trek FX may be a better choice.

Specialized Sirrus vs Trek Fx Bikes Brakes

The Sirrus and Trek FX bikes both come with specialized brakes that are designed to provide optimal stopping power and control. Sirrus bikes feature V-brakes, while Trek FX bikes come equipped with disc brakes.

Both types of brakes offer advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to choose the right one for your needs.

V-brakes are typically lighter and easier to adjust than disc brakes. They also offer good stopping power in dry conditions. However, V-brakes can be less effective in wet or muddy conditions, and they may not provide as much stopping power as disc brakes.

Disc brakes are more expensive than V-brakes, but they offer superior stopping power in all conditions. Disc brakes are also easier to maintain than V-brakes, and they offer more consistent performance over time.

If you’re looking for the best possible braking performance, disc brakes are the way to go. However, if you’re on a budget or you don’t need the absolute best performance, V-brakes may be a better option.

Specialized Sirrus vs Trek Fx Bikes Saddle

Specialized Sirrus vs Trek Fx Bikes Saddle

When it comes to comfort, both the Specialized Sirrus and Trek FX bikes offer a comfortable saddle. However, the Specialized Sirrus has a bit more padding, making it slightly more comfortable for longer rides.

For those who are looking for a bike that can handle both road and off-road riding, the Specialized Sirrus is the better option. It has more durable tires and can handle rougher terrain. However, the Trek FX is a great choice for those who want a lighter bike that is easier to carry.

Overall, both bikes offer a comfortable ride, but the Specialized Sirrus is the better choice for those who want a bike that can handle more difficult terrain.

Specialized Sirrus vs Trek Fx Bikes Riding Experience

Riding a bike is a great way to get around. It’s a healthy activity that can help you lose weight , and it’s also environmentally friendly. But what kind of bike should you buy?

There are many different types of bikes on the market, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Two of the most popular types of bikes are the Specialized Sirrus and the Trek FX.

Both of these bikes have their pros and cons, so it’s important to decide what you’re looking for in a bike before making a purchase. Here’s a look at the riding experience of each type of bike:

The Specialized Sirrus is a great choice for someone who wants a bike that is comfortable and easy to ride. The Sirrus has a suspension fork that absorbs bumps in the road, and the frame is made of aluminum, which makes the bike lightweight.

The Sirrus also has wide tires that provide stability, and the bike comes with Shimano components, which are known for being high-quality.

The Trek FX is a great choice for someone who wants a bike that is fast and efficient. The frame of the Trek FX is made of carbon fiber, which makes the bike extremely lightweight.

The Trek FX also has narrow tires that are designed for speed, and the bike comes with Shimano components.

So, which bike is right for you? It depends on what you’re looking for in a bike. If you want a bike that is easy to ride, then the Specialized Sirrus is a great choice.

If you’re looking for a bike that is fast and efficient, then the Trek FX is a better choice. Whichever bike you choose, you’re sure to have a great time riding it. Get out there and enjoy the ride!

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
