You love nature, adventure, tackling singletrack with friends, seeking new challenges. So does Lush. It's a perfect match.

  • USER REVIEWS

I've had this bike for nearly two years, this was my first full suspension bike. This baby has been through so much, I've raced and trained for XC with it for the past two years. I've taken some serious crashes with this bike, and my first instinct has always been to check the bike. My Lush never let me down, the frame is still going strong as well as all of the components. I have not had to have a single repair. The 29" wheel rolls over anything and everything while giving me leverage on climbs. This is a fun bike and I highly recommend.

Weaknesses would have to be none.

good components for the price point, Women Specific Design simply WORKS for a petite woman handling suspension tuned to a woman's weight

slooooow on the flat... but that's not why you bought a full suspension, is it?!

I picked up my Lush S 2013 in Bangkok... which is flat as a pancake. I got a great deal on it (and I already think that it is a great value for the components) because there is really no use for a full suspension bike when you never go down a hill! the S was the only version offered in the store, so I didn't try the SL or regular Lush, but this price point and component level was pretty much what I was in the market for, anyway. I was all excited to try it out, despite the flatness of Bangkok, so I took it out with a local group who rides the trails around the rice paddies outside of town, which turned out to be almost as hard packed as the tarmac roads we took to get to them. I found myself at the tail end of the group the whole time- all of whom were riding hard tails with smooth, skinny tires - which was a bit embarrassing, really. But then I took it home, to Kathmandu... Suddenly I went from the back of the pack to charging up hills, passing the best of our group, and flying down singletrack like I had wings. I felt like Superwoman! The big knobbly tires, which slowed me down on the flat hardpack in Thailand, grip the mud and layered dust of Kathmandu like glue. The plush suspension takes the drops and rocks and ruts like they weren't even there, the derailleurs shift the chain along the 3X10 rings like silk, and the slack overdrive headset steers like a dream. The real difference with this bike, for me, is the geometry. I am 5 foot nothing, with relatively long legs and short arms- kind of a typical woman, really! I ride the 14.5 Lush S, which puts me much closer to the handlebars than my hard tail (also a Trek, but not WSD). The different angle makes my pedal stroke a lot more efficient too, which is how I find myself powering up hills about twice as fast as before, despite the rear suspension. This is also the first bike I've ever owned where I actually have the recommended stand over height! The suspension is also well designed for a lighter woman, making even the front fork significantly more cushy than my HT, while never being in danger of bottoming out- giving me a lot more control, not just a smoother ride. The one thing I'm still getting used to is the totally different center of gravity. While it makes me feel more in control and confident on the downhill, I feel much higher off the ground than on my HT, and therefore a bit tippy. This is particularly true when I'm headed up a short very steep bit of trail- I often feel like i'm going to tip over. This is more a technique issue than anything else, and I'll get used to it soon, but I thought I'd mention it in case other people feel the same way. The steering is also much more sensitive than on my HT, so I had a bit of trouble at first on particularly skinny "half tracks" like those between the Nepali rice paddies (the Thai paddies have tractor roads between them), I felt like I was in danger of accidentally over steering and falling off the track. Again, this is just something to get used to. Finally, it is a bit shallow, but I do have to say I love the color, and I've gotten a TON of complements on it. The powder blue and navy is just striking, and the gold accents are a nice touch! If you want an idea of what kind of riding I do in Kathmandu, look up "colors of Kathmandu" on YouTube.

not carbon! a good value. many frame improvements from the Trek Fuel WSD. handles well with excellent suspension properties. 2012 Lush SL has decent color. decent weight.

oem crankset on the 2012 Lush SL. not compatible with water bottle cages. 2012 color options are hideous (except for Lush SL which is decent) and will not match well with most prospective upgrades that are dominated with red, gold, etc unfortunately, color coordination is a big thing among most ladies

i have researched and tested the Trek Lush Carbon and the Trek Lush SL. I was intending to splurge on my girlfriend who has shown great improvement in mountainbiking. i was also intending to either settle with SLX or XT or maybe XTR For comparison among women's bikes, i have also researched the Specialized Safire Pro, Giant Trance XW, Norco Sight Forma 2 and Forma 3 and the Pivot Mach 5.7 Carbon. The Trek Lush rides very well. Suspension has minimal bob when pedaling but descends very well. Its ABP system works well and allows suspension to remain active even during panic braking. The price value is one of the best and second only to the Norco Sight Forma. Compared to last years model (its predecessor) 2011 Trek Fuel 8 WSD, the Lush has improved with lower standover height and a better riding experience. the Lush has less travel with 120mm compared to the Norco Sight Forma at 140mm and the PC Mach 5.7 carbon at 140/150mm. However my girlfriend is upgrading from a 80-100 fork hardtail so i think the 140 is overkill (at least for now). the difference in travel was therefore inconsequential. The price was great and i really wanted to settle with the Lush. Unfortunately, there were two things that were simply unacceptable in this bike: 1. color. the colors of their bikes are far from attractive and clashes with most upgrades that i wanted to add. for example, i intended to add a better wheelset which had red stripes (as most mtb components have)... with so many other colors the bike starts to look like a rainbow or clown in bad way. although color is not a big issue to me, it was an issue with my sister and my girlfriend and since i was already spending that much money, i wanted a good looking bike. The outgoing 2011 Trek EX 8 WSD (was on sale) looked great but was not the right size. 2. you cannot attach a water bottle cage on it. the bike decision basically came to this. as an avid mountain biker, we go 3-4x a week but each ride is less than 2.5 hours long. most of the female bikers including my sis and girlfriend rarely ride more than 2 hours and would rather use water bottles for non-epic length bike rides. they don't want to wear a sweaty camelback that needs to be washed each week and requires extensive preparation beyond filling a clean water bottle that they could wash in the dishwasher. in the end, no matter how i tried to convince myself about the Lush, it simply didn't cut it. by lowering the standover height (which was already sufficiently low in the previous Fuel EX WSD) they made the frame triangle too small to allow a water bottle cage and thus didn't even try to put bolts/receivers on the downtube. if this was a freeride or downhill bike, i would understand the lack of water bottle cage bolts/receivers but this is a trail bike! nearly went with the Specialized Safire Pro but it looks hideous and the suspension design was not inspiring. i ended up settling with the Pivot Cycles 5.7 Carbon (the aluminum did not allow water bottle cages either) and built it with Shimano XT at competitivecyclist.com. it is a sweet bike although i ended up spending nearly 2x more than i intended to when i was looking at the Trek Lush

smooth ride. easy too handle, corners great,and climbs like crazy! pretty paint job. solid, light,traction is top notch..fits my body correctly and 27 inch stand over.pretty girly looking paint job seems to cleean easy. appears to reject mud.good price was out the door.

none...... just be sure if you move brake levers in for one finger,that the rear brake cable might need slack re dispursed. this is because handle bars are not wide.24" (white grips are no problem they windex back to pure white anytime...)

my hard tail rattled too much so my husband bought me a lush. superb workman ship on this ladie bike. paint job is drk blackish blue with glitter that reflects near dark purple with a hint of gold.lots of laddie ish emblembs and a pink elephant on the back of the frame by the crank and shock. pretty bike. too pretty for a boy to ride. smooth ride and easy to control. i hate to climb but this bike climbs great! love the traction. Im not a hot dog like my husband but with the lush I can at least follow him in style and comfort. we see a lot of fuji and giant and specialized but the TREKS are way better and worth the money. my husband says the LUSH cant mop the floor with any other xc bike out there. I think he is right. I am really a begginner but yesterday we went to palos illinois and peddaled 3 ravines, one day and gravity cavity. ok so i walked 2 of the ravines but the 3rd I did and the Lush handled cornering at one day and I dont even know how to corner yet!!!then we walked up gravity cavity and my husband did the jump with his remedy 7, and then I climbed out of gravity cavity from first jump to top on my LUSH. last but not least the 27 inch stand over is perfect because i am only 5'2". all Lush frame sizes have 27 " standover give a 1/4" or so.I recomend this bike to all wifes because it helps to have a top machine. you dont got to be any good to pedal a LUSH but if you are good you could compete with this bike.

trek lush mountain bike

Not one to forget the women cyclists out there, Trek is reaffirming its dedication to producing the best WSD equipment with the all new Trek Lush. Replacing the Fuel WSD, the Lush is a completely new from the ground up 120mm full suspension bike with an new design that incorporates what is now the lowest standover height in its class.

Not only is this a new model for women out there, but it is also the first time Trek has produced a 120mm WSD platform that included an OCLV Carbon top level bike. In 2011, the Fuel WSD didn’t even get up to the EX 9 level, so the Lush Carbon and Lush SL will certainly be good new for women looking for a top quality ride.

Jump past the break for more on the new Lush!

trek lush mountain bike

After doing some market research, Trek found that for most women a good mountain bike had to have great balance and control. More so, the bike had to be confidence inspiring with the right fit, and feel. Part of dialing in the comfort and confidence of the Lush meant lowering the top tube substantially from the Fuel EX. The biggest hurdle to overcome in this process was making room for the shock with such a low top tube. Eventually, Trek decided to run a shorter shock, which in the end turned out to be a bonus for the rider.

Typically, a lot of small women’s bikes are set up for fairly light riders when compared to many men. This means running the shock at much lower pressures to get the right suspension set up. However, most shocks have a minimum air pressure for optimal performance in order to overcome the stiction of the seals to provide a plush ride. Using a smaller shock on the Lush meant Trek’s engineers had to use a higher leverage ratio, that allows lighter riders to use more air pressure to overcome the higher leverage. This of course means the shock will be run at a better pressure to ensure optimal performance.

The Lush will be offered in 4 different models, including the top end Lush Carbon at the top. Women will get all the new tech the men do, including the all new DRCV Fox forks on both the Lush carbon, and Lush SL. Every Lush will be speced with a DRCV rear shock, with the top two models getting the new DRCV RP3, with CLimb, Ride, and Descend modes. Also, all Lush models will feature an ABP Convert rear end, with the top end Lush Carbon coming stock with a 142×12 set up. You’ll notice in the photos that Lush Carbon features Bontrager wheels, due to the fact that this is the first year Bontrager Rhythm wheels will be available with a 142×12 rear hub in 26 inch. Up front you’ll find a tapered E2 head tube along with a QR15 fork in all but the lowest end model, to guarantee the best handling possible.

The top tube look ugly!

Samuel J. Greear

My girlfriend (who works at a Spec/Giant dealer) has been on a 2011 Fuel EX 8 since late Sept. or early Oct. of last year. She is in love with the bike, especially considering the alternatives, and these improvements address several of her very few criticisms. Not mentioned in the article but it looks like they may have shortened the head tube a fuzz too, which will also be an improvement for the vertically challenged. New riders and women seem to feel very at home on the DRCV suspension vs other configurations, I can only prognosticate as to why that is the case, but Trek’s EVO/ABP/FullFloater/DRCV rear end is indeed quite uncompromising.

ted

Did they mention the target weight for their mens bikes?

Mike

I do not understand at all why woman need more than men “lower standover heigh”. Are our “parts” harder than theirs? I want “ugly” VERY LOW STANDOVER top tubes for men too (even more if they are on 29er bikes).

Bob Barwick

LUSH……………..??????.what is Trek saying about women??? How about just call it Wineo! Ha Ha… Nice updates except for the name guys and gals!

matt

“Not only is the top tube lower, but the entire bike has a lower center of gravity than the old Fuel to add to rider control. Bottom bracket and axle height stay the same, resulting in WSD Pro geometry that is easier to ride, and more confidence inspiring for shorter riders.”

How do you lower a center of gravity while keeping everything at the same height????? That makes no sense.

rhyspekt

Matt, the picture clearly shows a lower toptube, seatstay and linkage plate, so existing mass is obviously being lowered, lowering center of gravity. Pointing out that no changes have been made to the lower half of the bike is to assure that there will not be increased pedal strike. Tbh, this makes perfect sense. A steeper seat tube angle and shorter toptube are also correct for WS geometry. Picture also indicates identical, not taller head tubes, which is also correct. Lowering top tubes is a perfect example of catering to perceived need instead of actual necessity, as greater standover height is not needed for women. Can’t argue that it doesn’t lower center of gravity though, so not totally useless. It does bear an unfortunate resemblance to a giant trance, but luckily will be a whole lot better.

PMN

a. Luxurious; opulent: the lush décor of a grand hotel. b. Extremely pleasing to the senses: a lush scent; lush fruit; the lush sounds of an orchestra. c. Voluptuous or sensual.

I test rode a LUSH recently at a SBC Trek demo day in Harrisonburg VA. The bike was a little heavy compared to my GF Pro Cal but that can be addressed with diferent components. It climbed great and responded well and on the down hill handled extremely well. I could go faster and felt more confident. It chewed up the rock gardens and roots, didn’t bounce me all over the place. Stuck in the corners and put a smile on my face from ear to ear!! I loved the downhill on that bike. What a ride!! The name is a little cutsie… women mtn bikers don’t need gimicky or girlie. We just want an awesome bike. I suggest that pLUSH may be a better name.

I’ve looked so much but can’t find the standover hight just asking 27″ at the most

2015 Trek Fuel EX (Sterling Lorence)

First Ride: Re:aktiv and Fuel EX 27.5 Trek partnered with Penske Racing shocks to improve the dampers found in the Dual Rate Control Valve (DRCV) shocks found on its Fuel, Lush, and Remedy bikes. Penske Racing has a long history building shocks for some of the most demanding motorsports, including F1, NASCAR, and World Touring car racing as well as other disciplines such as ATV and motocross.

The new technology is dubbed Re:aktiv. At the heart of the system is a new damper stack that allows faster low-speed-compression reaction time while providing a firmer platform for pedaling. The new shocks will retain the DRCV air spring, and will continue to be produced by Fox Racing Shocks. The DRCV shock has two air chambers. On smaller bumps or smooth terrain, the shock uses only the primary chamber. Larger hits that force the shock shaft to travel halfway through its stroke open an auxiliary chamber that increases the overall air volume. Trek claims the DRCV offers the lively feel of a shock with a smaller air spring, but provides the plush bump absorption of a larger air spring. Combining that technology with a firmer platform to pedal against, it says, will result in a bike that will perform just as well whether you’re pedaling over rough terrain or letting the suspension (and gravity) do the work on a descent.

2015 Trek Lush 650b (Sterling Lorence)

Jose Gonzalez, Trek’s director of suspension design, explained that the new damper optimizes the suspension by keeping the shock at the sag point (previous-generation shocks tended to sit closer to the mid-point of the stroke). The benefits of this are twofold: It holds the bike closer to the true geometry of each model and allows the damper to react quicker and return to its optimum position sooner. As a result, the bikes pedal more crisply in all three shock modes, Climb, Trail, and Descend.

Trek also linked up with Push industries to supply air volume reducers for its DRCV shocks and forks. The parts are available directly from Push and allow riders to tune the suspension to their liking by altering the factory air spring rate. These small spacers are available in multiple sizes so you can make incremental changes in a fork’s or shock’s air spring rate.

Related:  Tested: Trek Lush 27.5 

I tested the design on the new 27.5-inch carbon Fuel EX 9.8, a 120mm travel bike perfect for the hills and hollers of the DuPont State Forest. Compared to the previous non-Re:aktiv equipped machines, the bike did sit higher in the travel without resorting to higher air pressure and/or an air-volume reducer. The Climb mode, which was previously useful only for long, smooth ascents, became a viable setting for anything from pavement-smooth trail to smaller bumps and rougher patches of track. Set in Trail mode the shock provided crisp, efficient pedaling, remaining firm when I stood to jet up over small rises or during sustained seated climbs. Yet it still ate up the bumps when the terrain became stuttery and coarse. I spent the bulk of my time in Trail mode, resorting to the fully open Descend mode only at the highest speeds on the chunkiest terrain.

Re:aktiv will be available on Trek’s 9-series bikes this year. Lower-end models could get the new damper as early as 2015.

New Remedy 29 Carbon with Boost 148 The Remedy 29 gets a makeover for next year with the addition of carbon-frame offerings. Most of the bike remains unchanged, with geometry and spec carrying over from the current models. The biggest change is at the tail of the bike, with the introduction of Boost 148. Trek increased stiffness laterally in the wheels by partnering with SRAM to offer a hub that is 6mm wider at the axle ends and pushes the hub flanges out by 3mm each. Trek claims this will create better triangulation and even out spoke tension, and that the 29er wheels will ride closer in stiffness to their smaller counterparts. The Boost 148 design adds clearance to the frame for tires as large as 2.3 inches, while also keeping chainstays short and chainline in check for proper shifting performance. For riders using a single-ring drivetrain—the system will work with a double setup too—SRAM developed a spider that keeps the centerline of the ring in proper alignment with the cassette so shifting performance is unaffected. Trek and SRAM designated the system as “open source,” so the design is available to any manufacturer.

City OKs new Moscow Mountain trails

Moscow Mountain could have a new 2-mile system of bike trails in two years thanks to a local volunteer group and a Tuesday decision from the Moscow City Council.

The Moscow Area Mountain Bike Association is proposing to build and maintain the trail system on the mountain near the intersection of Moscow Mountain Road and Rock Creek Road.

MAMBA is a local nonprofit organization founded in 1997 that develops, maintains and promotes the use of more than 60 miles of non-motorized trails on and around the Moscow Mountain area.

The group wants to construct the trails on 20 acres of land that was donated to the city in 1941 by Harry and Nina Powell. It is currently undeveloped and not being managed for recreational purposes.

MAMBA anticipates construction will cost $10,000. It has applied for a grant from the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation to fund the project, and asked the city to provide a matching $5,000. The city approved the match along with a license agreement for the trail system.

MAMBA anticipates construction to start this spring and for the trails to open in May 2025.

The nonprofit says this new trail system will discourage unauthorized user-created trails, improve recreational activity in the area and appease those who want more advanced mountain bike trails.

Councilor Sandra Kelly said she believes this project will help with the city’s tourism, and she appreciates that MAMBA will maintain the trails.

Councilor Gina Taruscio also praised MAMBA’s ability to tackle a project like this.

“The reputation you guys have precedes you and I really think this is a ridiculous no-brainer,” Taruscio said.

In other business, the council approved an appeal that will allow The Jubilee School Montessori in Eastside Marketplace to have a day care for children ages 3 to 5.

City staff previously determined the proposal did not meet the license requirements because the facility did not have a fenced outdoor play area adjacent to the day care.

Malia Mason, director of The Jubilee School Montessori, approached the council to appeal the denial. She said the school wants to incorporate 3- to 6-year-old children into its school program, but the city requires a day care license for 3-year-olds.

The school plans to create an outdoor play area in the future. There is currently an outdoor space behind the building. Mason also said that 3- to 4-year-olds would not use the outdoor area because they are only at the facility for three hours in the morning.

There was much debate about this request, particularly about whether the school’s unique education model justified waiving the day care rule regarding play areas. The motion to approve the license passed 4-2.

Also on Tuesday, the council approved a grant request to the Idaho Parks and Recreation to upgrade Lola Clyde Park by adding parking, frontage improvements and an internal pathway system.
