They arguably kicked off the recent “use a light to be seen” movement with their insanely bright and intelligently patterned Bontrager Flare R tail light , and now they’re taking that theme to rest of the bike and rider with a full collection of day glow goods.

At the top of the line are special Project One paint schemes for the Domane, Madone and Emonda. The color’s called Radioactive yellow, and you can customize all of the secondary colors for logo, stripes, etc., independently to create your own blinding masterpiece. Then, top it all off with matching hi-vis clothing…

The Trek-Segafredo team introduced the new ultra bright kit at the Japan Cup, and it’s available to everyone. Their goal is to increase a cyclist’s visibility. Throw in their lights and the bike and fat chance any motorist could miss you (hopefully). Get the paint job on the wind cheating Madone (above)…

…the lightweight Emonda climbing bike…

…and the endurance oriented Domane.

Select clothing items and gear, like the newer Ballista aero helmet , will come in Visibility Yellow.

Announce a 60% price cut on the Madone and I’m in!!

Oh… it looks like a vintage Look… or a vintage Giant from the 90:s… or whatever.

A cycle of colors, ending or starting with bright yellow depending on your perspective, seems many bike and parts manufacturers (including Magura ) tries this move from time and again to desperately gain some additional exposure when the acronym-levels run low in their marketing departments. Lol. 🙂

Let’s see how all of it looks after 30 days of UV exposure. I’m not a fan of pastel yellow.

I’ve got friends who have Trek’s Radioactive Orange as part of their Project 1 schemes for a few years and it’s still as retina-searingly bright as on the first day.

Once we have all been forced to wear high visibility yellow to avoid being blamed in any incident with traffic, how will we then try to standout in a visually noisy world of high contrast, ugh visibility?

Nope. Never bought into the idea that a bright colour will make you suddenly ‘seen’. I mean, no colour is going to save you when the driver is not looking in the first place. An annoying flashing light good enough for day use trumps everything from what I’ve found…

Possibly. But I definitely notice hi vis on cyclists so i’m happy to wear it. Shoes or booties mainly as they are moving. Maybe it just makes me ‘feel’ safer.

Yep. Numerous studies in both the motorcycle and bike worlds have shown that hi-vis helps.

Plus, I’m tired of black bikes!

+1 on this whole black bike thing. Called ‘murdered out’ isn’t it?

My motto is: black is for the bike, color is for the kit.

Now it’s only going to more difficult to look at a Trek, and it says shimano on it like a wal-mart bike…

I’d like to see Trek offer paint with some nano-technology that makes the bike truly pop in low light when hit by a beam, but look normal in bright conditions.

Trek developed a special sunscreen cream* for Radioactive Yellow. NOTE: *gently apply special sunscreen cream on whole frame 20 min. before each ride.

Personally, I refuse to buy a black/grey bike for many reasons, and visibility is one of them. For those that wish high vis was of no benefit because they love black or grey, all one has to do is look at utility and construction workers who are required to wear high vis clothing for safety reasons. Of course it won’t always help, just seat belts and airbags in cares don’t ALWAYS help, but the statistics say you are tilting the number in your favor, and that is exactly what this is about, that, and Trek trying to increase their sales numbers.

Trek road bikes: range, details, pricing and specifications

Cyclingnews' roundup of Trek road bikes available to buy this year

Trek road bikes you can buy today

Trek's road bike range explained.

With a history spanning some four decades, the Trek Bicycle Corporation has become one of the foremost bicycle makers in the world, and a perennial staple in our list of the best road bikes . What started out as a small steel frame-building company operating out of a carpet warehouse in Waterloo, Wisconsin, has grown enormously into a global leader of bicycle design and innovation. The Trek road bike range is based around three anagrammatic models; Domane, Madone, and Emonda - nominally the endurance, aero, and climbing bikes respectively. All are available in an array of build options, with the Domane and Emonda also available in both carbon and aluminium guises.

Trek has a history of innovating in the world of bicycle manufacture, with a particular emphasis on pioneering new materials. Bonded aluminium and carbon construction was lifted from the aerospace industry in the '80s, creating the 2000 and 2500 framesets. The lessons learned from bonded carbon were then poured into the manufacture of the brand's first full-carbon frameset, the 5000. Nowadays it has its own patented in-house carbon fibre, known as OCLV (optimum compaction low void) which is on a par with aerospace-specific alternatives

Trek continues to disrupt the industry from a manufacturing standpoint, but first and foremost it makes bikes for riders; the manufacturing innovation is only a means to an end. For some that means the very best commuter bikes , for others that means the best touring bikes , and for a lot of riders that means racing at the highest levels. It's no great surprise that Trek has become a big player in the world of gravel cycling too, and it also features on our list of the best gravel bikes . Whatever your interests in cycling, Trek has options. If you are thinking about something from the Trek road bike range, keep reading to see all the details about what's available. 

Trek Domane

Specifications, reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

The latest model of the Trek Domane has gone through a complete makeover. The comfort-enhanced model in the Trek road bike range picks up a number of aerodynamic details, along with an all-new Isospeed decoupler design (additional flex at the steerer and seat post) and space in the frame and fork for up to 38mm of the best road bike tyres you'd care to cram in. These are changes that make the Domane an incredibly versatile road bike. The lineup is perfect for all-day comfort and the new Domane+ LT, makes our list of the best electric road bikes too.

The Domane is available in three frame types. For the budget minded, you'll want to look at the aluminium Domane AL; it's the most accessible in terms of price, and the only option for fans of a rim brake. It's entry level but it doesn't leave off the performance and adds options for racks for commuters, though it can only fit 35mm tyres rather than the 38mm max on the carbon models.

Moving up the range, the next option is the mid-range Domane SL. Stepping up to the SL means a move to 500 series OCLV carbon fibre. That opens up access to a dual IsoSpeed decoupler system, not found on the alloy version, for comfort-enhancing vibration damping. It also means space for larger tyres and storage in the downtube. If you'd like to stick with rim brakes there aren't any options for a fully built bike in the SL range but you can still get a rim brake option of the frameset.

The top-tier Domane SLR is also carbon fibre but it's a lighter 700 series OCLV. It still carries the dual IsoSpeed decoupler, but it's an upgraded adjustable version also seen on the aero focussed Madone. Like the SL, there's no fully built rim brake option available but you can still get an SLR frameset in a rim brake format.

Depending on your taste, and budget, builds are available from Claris-level at one end, through to SRAM Red eTap at the other extreme, with most options in between available.

Trek Emonda

For years, the Emonda had been the lightweight option in the Trek road bike lineup, and one of the usual suspects in our lineup of the best lightweight bikes . This is the bike to grab when you want to head to the mountains. As technology has progressed though the modern climber's bike has somewhat disappeared; brands have been slowly moving away from labelling their lightest offering as a 'climbing bike', and instead pivoting to selling it as an all-round option, for both up hill and down dale. Trek is no different in this regard, with the Emonda filling its all-rounder spot. It's no lump though, if weight is your concern.

While the Emonda is still the bike you'd want to turn to on the steep uphill segments, it's more than that now. Aero-optimisation and disc brakes take it away from a bike only for the mountains to a much more well-rounded option. In some ways it's defined more by what it isn't than what it is. It's not the all-out aero bike and it's not an endurance bike. The Emonda is the lightest of the options but it's also a bike that does a little bit of everything.

Available models for the Emonda still cover a wide range in much the same way as the Domane, with an aluminium option at one end, with a rim brake frameset option, and two tiers of carbon above it. The SL represents the middle ground with a carbon frame at a more affordable price. Then, at the top of the range, sits the SLR with a new ultralight 800 series OCLV carbon construction. There's even an SLR frameset with a more aggressive geometry available for those competing at the highest levels or fans of ultra-responsive handling. 

Trek Madone

The Madone sits at the top of the range as Trek's most purebred race bike. It's aero optimised in every way, and features among our list of the best aero road bikes too. Being the range topper means that it's the most expensive option in the Trek lineup but that has more to do with a lack of low-end options rather than it necessarily being vastly more expensive. There are only SLR and SL models available, meaning no entry level aluminium choice to be had. 

After years of aero bikes carrying a reputation for being harsh and uncomfortable, Trek went in a different direction. It was the first to market its aero bike as not just aerodynamically fast, but also fast because of its comfort, primarily thanks to the addition of the IsoSpeed decoupler system lifted from the Domane.

Of course, comfort isn't the only trick for the Madone; integrated cables feature heavily, along with fully integrated cockpits on the top end models. Even lower models, without an integrated cockpit, look to cheat the wind, with truncated aerofoil tube shapes and aerodynamically optimised disc brakes. Tyre width is however much more limited than with other models, topping out at 28mm.

Trek Speed Concept

The Trek Speed Concept is the Trek solution for triathletes who want the very best. For years the design had been stagnant but that all changed at the end of 2021. The brand new 2022 Trek Speed Concept is all new and faster than it's ever been before. Compared to the previous version, Trek claims the new bike saves a full six minutes over the Kona full Ironman race course. 

Moving away from a solely wind-tunnel focus, Trek has sought to create a bike that works as an entire system, rather than simply a lab-optimised object. The system approach means hydration and storage helps make not only the bike faster, but also the rider. There's an available between-the-arms (BTA) bottle that enhances aerodynamics by smoothing air between the arms and a clip allows you to drink without leaving the aero bars. It's also easy to refill during a race with a port on the top that accepts the nozzle of another bottle. 

While the BTA bottle is a separate purchase, the downtube bottle comes with every Speed Concept bike. Capacity is 750 ml and, like the BTA bottle, it also enhances aerodynamics; the system is 14 per cent faster when the bottle is in place. 

Outside of hydration there are two additional storage solutions onboard and included. The two bottles cover opportunities to enhance aerodynamics so the storage doesn't make the bike more aero. Instead, the bento box and the flat repair storage take advantage of the increased frame space to hide from the wind. 

The once-simple exercise of choosing a bicycle has become an appreciably complex decision owing to a plethora of new riding disciplines and technological advancements.

There are four different types of road bikes available in Trek’s current catalogue — aero, endurance, time trial, and climbing/do-it-all, each of which differs based on design and function.

As the name suggests aero road bikes are designed for speed while still retaining some form of compliance and comfort. Climbing bikes are ideal for hilly/mountainous routes and are pretty decent all-rounders. Endurance bikes offer a combination of durability and comfort while time-trial bikes are more outlandish-looking in their appearance and built for speed.

Trek offers a wide selection of specifications for each of the models in its range. Most of the brand's road frames are available in three different types of carbon, as well as aluminium and denoted by SLR (Trek's lightest OCLV carbon), SL (mid-range OCLV carbon) or AL (Aluminium).

Different geometry options are also available on certain models, with the majority featuring regular H2 geometry and some offered in the more aggressive H1 geometry, designed specifically for racing.

Meet the all-new Trek Domane

This bike is already a Paris-Roubaix champion

The Domane was designed to be the ultimate cobble-eating road bike, and the go-to for all-day adventurers — the perfect blend of comfort and performance. Now, with the all-new fourth generation Domane, Trek has made its “ ode to the open road ,” a bike that’s ready to top podiums and go anywhere, from your local gravel trails to the famed pavé of Paris-Roubaix.

The new Domane disc is lighter and faster than ever, and proved its bona fides when Elisa Longo Borghini rode it on her way to winning The Hell of the North this past April . But don’t let the racing pedigree scare you, this is a road bike for anyone who simply loves to ride. Those long, ambling trips on a breezy autumn Sunday? Oh yeah, Domane is great for those, too. 

Here are three reasons why the new Domane is the perfect ride.

Elisa Longo Borghini putting the new Domane through the ultimate test.

The new Domane *could* make you this happy.

Lighter and faster than ever

“Comfortable” doesn’t mean “slow.” The Domane was born to race, winning Paris-Roubaix in 2013 with Fabian Cancellara, and Paris-Roubaix Femmes in 2021 and 2022 with Lizzie Deignan and Elisa Longo Borghini, respectively.

The fourth gen Domane disc is the lightest ever, thanks to its new lightweight frame design and premium OCLV carbon. And with updated Kammtail tube shaping, it’s also more aero. The new Domane is ready for action.

Rear IsoSpeed is back and better than ever.

Tire clearance up to 38c on SL and SLR models.

Ultimate comfort and versatility

The new Domane brings back rear IsoSpeed, which has been updated to help make your ride even smoother and more comfortable for the long haul. It works by separating the seatpost from the rest of the frame, providing seated compliance and much less road fatigue.

The Domane SL and SLR frames also feature tire clearance for up to 38c wide tires, allowing you to ride everything from smooth pavement to hard-packed gravel. (Or cobbles, if that’s your thing.)

Lucinda Brand, third place at Paris-Roubaix, loves the Domane too.

Who doesn't love extra storage?

Built for adventure

The SL and SLR models also feature top tube mounts and hidden downtube storage, so you’ll have plenty of space to pack snacks and tools for your all-day outing. Because there should be nothing holding you back from exploring the farthest reaches of your world. 

This bike is definitely ahead of the pack.

Whether you like to ride fast or ride slow, or do a bit of both, the new Domane is there for you. Just start pedaling.

Make every road ride better

Trek SL1000 review

Half a grand is a lot of money for a lot of people - luckily it can get you a lot of bike

Paul Vincent

Half a grand is a lot of money for a lot of people - and luckily it can get you a lot of bike. There's a huge range to choose from at this price, from commuting cycles to long-distance tourers, but if you're looking for something a little lighter and sportier you'll be pleased to know that for around £500 you can buy a machine that'll easily cope with distance rides such as sportives, as well as your day to day cycling, with a good dose of style thrown in.

The Trek SL1000, was a winner in Cycling Plus' 2006 budget race bikes of the year. >

Frame >The Trek frame is based on 7005 series aluminium tubing with butted main tubes and is 1,551g in the 56cm size tested. The welding is plain without any smoothing of the joins, and the paint and decals are an improvement on the previous year's model. We like the neatly executed mudguard bridge detailing between the chainstays.

The distinctive and unusual forward-sloping top-tube (it's higher at the seatpost) is an aspect of the 1000-1500 series that you'll either like or loathe, but the short head-tube enables a low riding position for time trialling that simply isn't possible on the Specialized with its taller head-tube. The handlebar height can be altered considerably by flipping the stem through 180 degrees to point upwards, and further adjustments can be effected in small increments by using the headset spacers provided. The inclusion of rack and mudguard eyes is a major plus point as far as versatility for commuting and general cycling is concerned, meaning that this frame is a good all-rounder.

> Equipment >Given that the £500 price point is largely focused on those who are just getting into their cycling, it is appropriate that Trek have specified the SL1000 with a triple chainset, because the range of gears this provides is more important than the small weight saving of a double chainset. The anatomic 'pistol grip' handlebars have a slightly deeper and lower bend than those of the Specialized, and the radically sloping stem provides a greater than average range of handlebar height settings, though it doesn't win points for style. The Shimano Sora levers work well with your hands rested on the hoods, but it's a long reach to the brake hood button levers when your hands are on the drops.

>An eight-speed Shimano cassette means the transition to a smaller gear is a noticeably bigger step than with a 10-speed system, but the testers felt that it hardly affected their ability to maintain a constant pedalling cadence on undulating roads.

> > Wheels >The Trek wheels are of the traditional variety in using 32 spokes per wheel, laced in a 3-cross pattern to strong, reputable Alex rims - each spoke is crossed by two others, between hub and rim - with unbranded but smooth-running hubs. This year's wheels are 115g heavier per pair than those of the previous year's model that were outwardly similar but used Rigida Chrina rims instead. Trek have retained the tried and trusted Bontrager Select tyres that are probably the best budget tyre we have come across for vertical compliance, and they grip tenaciously in the wet. Their slightly larger 25mm width means they are more resistant to pinch punctures than 23mm tyres, but they'll need to be changed for a 23mm tyre if mudguards are to be fitted to provide enough clearance.

> Handling

The Trek's butted tubes make for a lively performance out on the road and were it not for the weight of the components, this could easily be confused with a bike costing twice the price. There really is very little to criticise when ridden on the flat, but at a shade under 21lb its bulk, which is mainly centred on the wheels, makes it harder for the rider to change tempo on a climb. That said, the fun and lively nature of the ride makes you want to take the long way home on a warm balmy summer evening.

Though odd looking, the system of using spacers stacked to give the greatest handlebar height didn't cause our testers any worries, and the time triallists will warm to the fact that the spacers can be omitted completely to get a low, aerodynamic riding position. > > Verdict

The Trek won our budget race bike of 2006 award by virtue of its versatility and now receives a carbon seatpost, but it's 115g heavier overall because of the new wheels. Compared to the previous model year, the Specialized has seen the biggest raft of improvements which, like the Trek, include a carbon seatpost in place of an aluminium one, together with a higher spec and marginally lighter wheels. >Iit's hard to ignore the Trek's inclusion of mudguard and rack eyes. These make the it a very versatile bike, a quality that can't be overlooked if the bike is to be used year-round for different types of riding. If versatility is your bag, the Trek should be right up your street.

Comfortable seat. Comfortable handlebar position, nice retro styling. Easy to pedal. Great commuter bicycle. My last bike was a Walmart piece of junk bike and this bike is leaps and bounds way better. Responsive and effective brakes. Bakersfield Pro Concrete Pumping

Can't find any.

The frame is superb! Geometry are great, solid, no flexing, fits perfect, rather light weight. I am highly satisfied. Carlsbad Concrete And Masonry

None so far.

This was my brother's first training bike when he began racing. It was handed off to me and I used it as a commuter class in Syracuse NY, commuting every day of the winter, snow and all. The chain regularly dripped rust when it thawed inside my apartment despite my best efforts to keep it lubed. Headset bearings totally rusted out twice and replaced. It then turned into my off road bike with 30mm knobby tires, getting battered over rough roads in Colorado like Engineer pass. This bike can handle anything and I love it. Original derailers, shifters, and brakes are still working like a charm and I can't remember the last time I adjusted anything! Orange paint scheme is a classic.

Not going to win any bike races as it's a cheaper aluminum frame.

Not a light weight performance bike, but it is a solid bike. I've had mine for over 25 years and who knows how many miles. I've taken it out of town on centuries and ridden the mountains with it. It doesn't have the original components anymore having been upgraded about 20 years ago from Sun Tour to Shimano RSX. I'm on my 4th saddle and probably my 3rd set of wheels. The frame is still rolling though. I would rate it and the Specialized Allez as the 2 best bikes for those starting out in road cycling.

The components are not top of the line or even close and the bike is heavy. You're not going to be doing many races on this bike. But I bought this bike for under $400 new so I didn't expect a bike that would be used in the Tour de France.

Great bike. Come to Nairobi and look for Brent Aviation and they can take you to the safari country with your bike for testing. www.brentaviation.co.ke for more details. You will not be disappointed

None that come to mind as compared to others

I am the 3rd owner. Bought after 10 years of use. It's been a year with me and I love it!

Not yet known

It is nice and light! I bought it used but it's lighter than my Cannondale.

I don't like the where the shifters are located. I'd rather have them by the handlebars.

I really like it though and think I will get used to the shifters.

Amazing frameset - strong and durable, still competitive with new tech alu bikes

A little heavy (8.3 kg with Easton EC90 cockpit, Quattros and 6800 Ultegra)

(I am Polish so sorry for my mistakes) I had many carbon bikes but i still got this one since 2007. In 2009 i equipped this frame with 7700 Dura Ace groupset and mavic wheels. Right now i still ride this bike but with Fulcrum Quattro LG and 6800 Ultegra. The geometry is amazing. Frame is stiff so still the bike is competitive in sprints in local races. The ride quality is OK, but mostly due to my upgrades (Easton EC90 handlebar, steam and seatpost and 25mm tires on wide rims) After all this years i decided to sell all other (newer and lighter) carbon road bikes, because this is The ONE :D Tottaly worth its price back then.

First Road Bike, bought in 2005. Still going strong, 2014... Just routine maintenance. Left a review here years ago.

Wheelset, changed out to supergo years ago and been fine ever since. Great first road bike.

I believe the model now is a Trek 1.1...Great buy, reliable. No its not carbon, hence you don't have to baby it...

frame and geometry are great, solid, no flexing, fits perfect, rather light weight. The group on it was Sora Tiegra. I took it all off and put Shimano 105 group, 9 speed, triple, Campanolo Record chain, upgraded the rims to Rigida racing 2000, with 105 hubs, Union - BMW spokes. The bike rides like a dream. I like riding it better than my Carbon Trek 5200, but the 5200 has Campanolo Chorus Gruppo, which is flawless- like a Mercedes compared to the 105, which is like a sewing machine. This is an excellent frame and fork, the the Crane Creek headset on mine is outstanding

Not as light as carbon. Low cost of this bike makes it unlikely to get high end components. Trek seems to provide better than average frames and lower than average (for the money) components, so more than likely you will want to upgrade as much as possible.

Great bike for the money. Solid, dependable, great to ride long distances, I ride 50 miles each Sunday.

Is The Trek 1200 A Good Road Bike? [Review]

Table of Contents

Lightweight road bikes have always been one of the most popular types of bikes for casual riders. And this is a comprehensive review of the Trek 1200 aluminum road bike from 2006.

The Trek 1200 has long held a place among road bikes, thanks to its lightweight aluminum frame, multiple speeds, and specifications for fast riding and a more comfortable road ride. Some road riders use it as their first road bike.

To fully understand this road bike, we will look at its different terrain performance, key features, components, and specifications, as well as a comparison to its older versions. If you’re on a tight budget, you should also read our Top 9 Best Road Bikes Under 500 [Review].

Road Performance

We prefer flat, mixed dirt roads because they are the flattest and can be accelerated to the highest speeds. With its fast road-ready head tube angle and lightweight Alpha SL aluminum frame, combined with 25C fast-riding tires, the Trek 1200 performs surprisingly well on roads where you can accelerate.

Riders new to road bikes will be familiar with the Trek 1200 and will feel more at ease on roads in good condition with few undulations, but on hilly terrain, the Bontrager Select can show amazing traction with the 3X9 drivetrain and allow you to go up hills more comfortably. Not to mention on steep downhills.

Commuter Roads

Tarmac and brick sidewalks are the most commonly used roads for commuting. While the road performance is superior, the commuter road performance of the Trek 1200 is as simple as breathing.

The carbon brazed dimensional fork makes it easier to roll the front wheel during the ride. The most popular gear is the smallest 30-tooth Bontrager Select cog, which is not too fast but allows you to get through crowds more easily and onto roads where you can ride faster. Has an aggressive riding position that will not let you down on downhill roads.

Although it is not a mid-range road bike, it provides a better commuting experience than a standard commuter road bike.

Key Features

Alpha sl aluminum frame.

With the current development of road bikes, the frames of mid to high-end road bikes usually use carbon fiber, but the choice of frame material in Trek or other brands of low to mid-range road bikes is still dominated by aluminum frames.

The Trek 1200 SL has an Alpha SL aluminum frame that is lightweight and simple to maintain. The paint color is dark red, which I personally do not dislike. However, the most popular paint colors today are still the classic popular colors black, white, and gray.

The Trek 1200 aluminum road bike has a very steep headtube angle of 73°.

This is a very aggressive head tube angle, which means you can climb more efficiently on steeper uphill roads and descend more comfortably. This is one of the primary reasons that some riders use the Trek 1200 as a training bike.

However, staying upright on flat roads becomes more difficult as a result of this. As a result of the body geometry angle, it is closer to a race road bike.

Components and Specifications

Shimano tiagra sti drivetrain.

Shimano’s 3X9 drivetrain is one of the bike’s main components, and I think it’s a good choice.

The ability to provide a large number of gears to help the rider deal with the effects of different terrain changes. Despite the fact that the Trek 1200 still used a 3X8 drivetrain in 1999.

The new Trek 1200, on the other hand, did not disappoint the riders who wanted it at the time. Longer rides are possible with a wider gear range, allowing you to use your energy more efficiently and have the best riding experience possible.

Aluminum dual pivot brakes

Although I’m not a big fan of rim brakes, the Trek 1200’s Aluminum dual-pivot brakes are very good in terms of braking performance.

Despite the low replacement cost, the performance is excellent, and the braking effect is comparable to that of mechanical disc brakes. If you are not a particularly aggressive road cyclist, the Aluminum dual-pivot brakes are ideal.

You’ll be impressed with the performance of the Trek 1200 brakes after a little break-in time, with crisp braking and not too many cables for a full set of braking action.

When it comes time to replace the brakes, I believe it would be a good idea to upgrade to mechanical disc brakes along the way for lower maintenance costs and a better experience.

Carbon fiber fork

The fork is subjected to a lot of strain, especially on descending roads or when there are potholes and rough terrain, and a good fork will help the bike last longer.

Bontrager forks have withstood the test of time, despite being mostly found on low to mid-range road bikes. When subjected to large impacts, the fork will not deform, and its internal construction reduces the impact on the Trek 1200.

I have to say that the carbon fiber fork has contributed to the Trek 1200’s overall weight reduction, which I believe would have been a mistake on the designer’s part if a cheaper aluminum fork had been used.

There isn’t much to complain about with the Trek 1200’s fork, and it performs admirably on all terrains.

Bontrager Select Tires

The Trek 1200 and Trek 2000 both have 700 x 25c Bontrager Select tires. This is the most commonly used tire size.

They provide dependable traction in a variety of terrains. And because their rims can accommodate 23c and 28c tires, you can change widths depending on whether you want a faster or more comfortable ride.

However, I’m more at ease with the Trek 1200’s 25c mid-width tires.

Carbon Fiber Seatpost

Bontrager Carbon seatposts are still designed to reduce overall bike weight. This part of the bike is often overlooked.

Trek 1200 aluminum road bike still considered the weight factor of this part at the time. Because the Trek 1200 is not expensive, it does not cut corners by using low-cost components. So I’m not concerned about the Trek 1200’s durability.

However, because it lacks a quick lift mechanism, riders cannot quickly find the proper riding height.

Other versions of the Trek 1200

The 1999 production Trek 1200 is the earliest information I could find on the Trek 1200, a model that is hard to find even in the used bike trade. I have only found a few comparisons from a handful of components and forums.

The 1999 Trek 1200 has a 3X8 drivetrain and the fork is made of Chromoly. The seatpost, on the other hand, is made of aluminum. These accessories arguably keep him out of the mid-range configuration. And the price is just less than $100 lower than the 2006 Trek 1200. So not a great value for the money.

What we like about the Trek 1200

• Lightweight aluminum frame that will stay with the rider for 10 years
• Carbon fiber fork for durability and longevity
• 3X9 drivetrain with wide gearing for more terrain
• Race-ready geometry

What we don’t like

• Dark red paint color, not all riders like it
• Brakes look outdated
• What is the body weight of Trek 1200?

About 17 lbs.

• What frame sizes are available for the Trek 1200?

43, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 63cm

• What is the Trek 1200 value?

Depending on the condition of the Trek 1200 bike, it is around $82 if in better condition.

Trek 1200 Specs

Comparison table, competition, trek domane al 2 vs trek 1200.

If you like Trek’s road bikes, the Trek Domane AL 2 is the best budget road bike they make.

The bike is outfitted with a 100 Series Alpha Aluminum frame, 25c tires, and a carbon fiber fork. They share many similarities, but there are some differences as well.

The Trek Domane AL 2, for example, has an alloy seatpost for durability, but it costs less than the Trek 1200. The slightly looser head tube angle is intended for commuters or casual riders rather than faster riders.

If you want to go on a road trip, it also has The commuter-friendly fenders and rear rack mounting holes allow for more touring gear, so you won’t run out of room.

As a result, the Trek Domane AL 2 is one of the most affordable road bikes on the market today.

Trek Domane AL 4 Disc vs Trek 1200

The Trek Domane AL 4 Disc is an improved version of the Domane AL 2, with the Trek 1200’s aluminum frame and carbon fiber fork.

The Trek 1200, on the other hand, has a more relaxed head tube angle, allowing it to adapt to upright riding on flat roads while also serving the purpose of a fitness bike.

With hydraulic brakes, the best brakes available on a road bike, the brakes are overkill. When riding, the 2X10 drivetrain, which looks a little less than the Trek 1200, doesn’t feel like it’s missing a gear combination.

So, for an additional $700 on top of the Trek Domane AL 2, you get a lot of premium gearing. So it’s a good value-for-money investment that will last for years without being outperformed by other road bike configurations.

ALL CITY Super Professional vs Trek 1200

The ALL CITY Super Professional road bike, which can handle more difficult terrain, is a popular daily commuter model.

The price is comparable to the Trek Domane AL 4 Disc, but the focus is on how the daily commuter rides, so the head tube angle is similar to the Trek 1200, and it performs better on cobblestones or potholes.

The 612 select chromoly steel frame is very strong, and despite being heavier than the aluminum frame, it will last for ten years. After ten years of use, the material frame retains the same properties.

The improved internal alignment will also improve the riding experience for commuters. It’s not the most affordable commuter road bike, but it’s built to last for 20 or even 30 years, making it more than just a passing investment.

Final Verdict (4.5/5)

The Trek 1200 is a good road bike for exercise riding, or for competing in beginner road bike races. Although its latest version is the 2006 model, it still has more components than some of the current sub-$1,000 road bikes. So it’s still a very worthwhile investment road bike. Combined with its comparative ratings, we think it gets a high score of 4.5.
