Trek FX+ 7s Review | Lightweight and yet loaded

By crossing the quantitative side of the qualitative testing, the FX+ 7S really earns its premium badge. There are many thoughtful touches – both the big and the small ones – who gather so that this would be a really comfortable ride.

Handling is felt crispy and well balanced. The Shimano Cuers residence moves smoothly, and the gear ratio has a great range of transmission and climbing and for higher speeds. Includes Shimano Linkglide, which beef drive for extra durability without sacrificing the quality of the shift.

The 700x40C Bontrager tires offer a solid towing and larger driving on road standards, thanks to the width. On 30 TPI tires is quite thick and durable. I liked to see that the wheels are without pipes, so you can drop the pressure for a softer ride without the risk of apartment.

Not only does the carbon fork help reduce the total weight, but also reduces vibrations on the roads better than aluminum, which makes the ride feel quite smooth without sacrificing the reactivity of a rigid fork.

It has a limited adjustment in the steering wheel, but it feels good for fast, agile handling. The integrated four-time stem bracket is the separation-begsily charge your phone when you use a compatible case, allowing you to start TRAK’s navigation, without the battery leak. Internal directed cables through headphones raise a smooth bicycle aesthetics, although they can complicate future maintenance.

The integrated upper pipe screen gives you basic things if you do not want to use your phone. It is nicely mixed in the frame, but I am a small and low placed with an effective bicycle tube on a short side – so it is more like a knee check than a quick view between the wrist – so we would recommend a four -legged case to take advantage of a fully advantage for a better view experience.

A little more details about the Trek Central app: You can accurately adjust the engine settings, synchronize with heart rate monitors or digital pressure gems and inspect your personal and cycling results. It basically acts as a cycling computer, which is a great bonus for drivers who want to monitor performance.

The rear mik stand acts with a wide range of fast mounting supplements, and the integrated brake light helps you to be visible. There are also two bottle cages, which is especially useful if you use it for an optional extender.

The points of the touch are mostly firm. Grips are soft and comfortable, and Bontrager verses Comp saddle – although they support – can be a bit firmly for less experienced riders. The plastic slippers were more concealed than expected, but they are plastic, and are probably one component that feels outside the place on such a polished bike. Accordingly, the slippers are among the easiest parts to upgrade if you want.

As for the frame, it’s an elegant sight. There are eight overall-size options in the high-step version and medium steps and while there are only two colors, our green test bicycle looked fantastic, with black accents that connect the fork, the lower side and the chain path.

And as a final thoughtful touch, the frame has a type of handle near the crankshaft – a small but super -convenient feature for residents of the apartment or anyone who needs to pull the bike up the stairs.
