History and Iconic Models

Trek started out in 1975 by providing only frames. In 1976 they would supply entire bicycles.

For many people Trek is most famous for sponsoring Lance Armstrong’s U.S. Postal team during the late 90’s up to his retirement.

But Trek already pioneered the use of carbon fiber in 1989 with the Trek 5000.

It would result in the short-lived but daring design of the Y-Foil, introduced in 1998. One of the few bikes that is designated with something more than just a number.

They were also early adopters of the mountain bike craze, with the Trek 850 launched in 1983.

Their early foray in using carbon fiber would be later used with the introduction of the iconic Y33 and Y22 models. Mountain bikes with a monocoque carbon fiber frame. Although it used the suspension technique URT ( unified rear triangle ) which would turn out to be rubbish, the original design was considered iconic.

1986 Trek 1500

My workhorse for 30 years. Back in 1986, I very much wanted the new Trek 2000. Since I already had a Dura Ace 7400 group; I looked into buying just a frameset. At that time, the Trek 1500 came out. It had (except for color) the identical frame as the 2000, and cost little more than a frameset. I liked the color so I bought a 1500, pulled its Shimano 600 parts off and put on my Dura Ace group. The Shimano 600 parts were put on my brother's Cannondale and I essentially had a nice yellow Trek 2000. I am now older and have changed it to lower triple gearing, hence the switch to 8 speed Ultegra drivetrain. At the same time, the brakes were upgraded to dual pivot as well. The rear dropouts remain spaced at 126mm. I re-spaced the rear axle to 126mm and it still has sufficient room for the 8 speed cogs.

Back to the Future Cycling Gear

In honor of Back to the Future day, we present the most forward-looking cycling gear and trends from October 1985, the month Marty McFly pointed his DeLorean to 2015.

7-Eleven Back Cycling Big corporations trying to hitch themselves to cycling as a way to show they care about your health? Not much is different today, except maybe someone might point out to 7-Eleven that one of those bike-safety seminars they sponsored should probably encourage the kid to wear a helmet .

Bio-Pace! In 1985, Shimano was pitching its Bio-Pace oval rings as a way to improve the efficiency of the pedal stroke. Bio-Pace was widely rejected and would soon become known as one of Shimano’s biggest missteps. In 2015, Chris Froome won the Tour de France with Osymmetric ovalized rings (mounted to Shimano Dura Ace cranks). The difference? The “big” part of the oval on Shimano’s Bio-Pace was at about 12 and 6 o’clock; with modern oval rings, the big part is at about 3 and 9 o’clock.

We Were Stronger—Or Worked Harder This Campagnolo freewheel has seven cogs, the biggest has only 20 tooth. Compare that to today’s 11-speed SRAM 10-42 cassette. But, the frustration of new standards was the same as today: special tools, new frame dimensions. Then, as today, aerodynamics was seen as a way to improve performance, and sometimes aerodynamic benefits come with aesthetic drawbacks.

Crash Pads Did anyone survive a crash in 1985? The Cinelli Crash Hat (great product name, BTW) was marketed as a “soft helmet,” which essentially means a bit of fake leather and a few millimeters of low-density open-cell foam. Basically, this “helmet” offers only the equivalent of the padding inside a modern helmet. 

Hollywood Knocks While Breaking Away (1979) is perhaps the seminal cycling movie, American Flyers released in 1985 stank up the box office (interestingly, Steve Tesich wrote both screenplays). Perhaps frightened by American Flyers’ poor performance, few major studios have released a cycling-related movie. Recently, though, Belov’s beard has returned to racing. 

Bike Packing Was Just Bike Touring In 1985, road touring was hot. Take a skinny-tired road bike and load it up by putting all the weight to the outside of the bike and explore America’s scenic byways. Today touring is hot again, but it’s adventure touring , away from the roads and deeper into quieter, less explored areas. The bikes have fatter tires, and the bags and weight are more centralized. Plus we have stiffer bikes, better brakes; and equipment that’s lighter, stronger, smaller and more efficient. One thing hasn’t changed: everyone loves a great value.

Mixed Bag Specialized , started with components before making bikes, and was one of the first bike brands to push house-brand components. Equipping a Specialized crank on a higher-end bike and not a Shimano or Campagnolo to match the group, raised eyebrows. Back then it was okay for Trek to spec a Specialized crank (Trek’s 1986 catalog description of the 760 road bike calls out the “top-of-the-line” Specialized crank). These days, almost every major bike brand has an extensive house brand component division and parts groups are broken up, mixed and matched. And there’s no way Trek would equip their bikes with anything from its rival, Specialized.

Trek Bikes Review — History, Models, and FAQ

Trek Bicycle Corporation is a bicycle and cycling products manufacturer whose headquarters are located in Waterloo, Wisconsin.

Trek bicycles are marketed through 1,700 dealers across North America . They have distributors in more than 90 nations across the world with subsidiaries in Asia and Europe.

Only a small percentage of their bikes are manufactured in the USA while the remaining 99% are manufactured in other parts of the world including Germany, China, and the Netherlands.

Over the years, this manufacturer has distributed bikes under brand names like:

• Diamant Bikes
• Klein and LeMond Racing Cycles
• Trek, Villiger Bikes
• Gary Fisher
• Electra Bicycle Company

Trek Bikes History

Over the last 42 years, this company has continually worked to refine and improve its products and persuaded the world to join in and take the journey towards better health and fitness.

The Early Years

• Trek’s story began in December 1975 in a barn when Dick Burke invested a sum of $25,000 to manufacture steel touring frames to battle those produced in Japan and Italy.
• Initially, the idea was to make the world’s best bikes but it was not until 1982 that they managed to actually manufacture their first complete bike as a company after acquiring more space and building a factory. In 1983 , they made their first mountain bike.
• Later in 1984 , they launched aftermarket parts and accessories line, Trek Components Group (TCG) .
• The period between 1985 and 1991 could be described as the technology frontier for Trek. In 1985, they borrowed from aircraft and other bike companies’ technology and introduced their first bonded aluminum bike frame in 2000.
• Later in 1986 Trek followed up the success of 2000 with a 3-tube carbon composite model, The Trek 2500.

This was Trek’s entry into the world of carbon fiber. That same year, to keep up with rapidly growing sales, they added another 75,000 sq ft (7,000 m 2 ) of manufacturing space to its Waterloo headquarters.

• In 1988 , Trek bikes introduced “ Trek Wear ,” which strongly indicated the company’s entry into the cycling apparel business. A year later, Trek ventured into foreign markets, opening subsidiary offices in the UK  and in Germany.

That same year Trek introduced its Jazz brand of bicycles, a collection of entry-level and kids’ bikes designed by Trek but manufactured in Taiwan. Jazz bicycles were discontinued in 1993.

The famous Trek 2500

• In 1992 , They launched their first bikes built with a full-carbon frame, the 5500 and 5200 which featured Optimum Compaction Low Void ( OCLV ) frames. These went on to become the world’s lightest production bikes with a frame weighing around 1.11kg.

The company further expanded its space to accommodate the new OCLV manufacturing facility.

• In 1992 , Trek also introduced their first full-suspension mountain bike, the 900 series which featured the T3C suspension system. In 1993, Trek also acquired Gary Fisher Mountain Bikes, named after Gary Fisher , one of the inventors of the mountain bike and one of the most popular names in off-road cycling.

Fisher had founded Gary Fisher Mountain Bikes in 1983 and sold his company in 1991 to Taiwan’s Anlen company, remaining on as President.

The Later Years

• From there it has been all systems go for Trek bikes with a various event marking their success such as introducing a full suspension Y bike in 1995 and signing three-time Tour de France champion Greg LeMond to get LeMond Racing Cycles on its feet (1995), although the relationship with LeMond soured in 2008 as both sides alleged breach of contract.

In 2006 Trek launched the “ 1 World 2 Wheels ” campaign. The idea was to encourage Americans to swap their cars for bikes on trips of two miles or less.

Today their mission is to “Help the world use the bicycle as a simple solution to complex problems” such as easing traffic congestion, improving health, seeing the world, and combating climate change.

They’ve cut their coal emissions to nil and parking spaces at their headquarters are allocated for carpoolers only.

Trek Bikes Model Range

Today, Trek produces everything from high-end road, mountain, and triathlon bikes to hybrid, comfort, cruiser, and kids’ bikes. These products are available at a range of prices; the high-performance bikes will require you to dig deeper into your pocket while other bikes are more affordable.

They have also designed bikes and accessories to fit female riders since 2000 and they have a custom bike program called Project One, where customers can choose their own paint scheme and component mix.

Trek Mountain Bikes

Trek’s mountain bikes are made for off-road adventure, fun, and competition. Among their extensive range of 13 models, you can find something to take on any off-road conditions and fit every budget and rider preference.

They categorize the bikes into four groups: six cross-country models, four trail models, two downhill models, and one fat bike model. Additionally, there are electric mountain bikes which we discuss below.

Among the styles, you can find hardtails, full-suspension gravity bikes; 29″, 27.5″, mulleted wheels; aluminum, steel, and carbon frames; and a range of options from a beginner hardtail to a World Championship-winning beast.

The Trek Slash 9.9 XX1 enduro is the most expensive in the range, with an RRP of over $12,500; at the other end of their range, you have the sub-$500 steel-framed Trek 820 cross-country bike.

Interesting design technologies include Trek’s  advanced OCLV Mountain Carbon frame and progressive sizing geometry. Other innovative MTB technologies from the company include Active Braking Pivot, IsoStrut shock—structural suspension, IsoSpeed frame-integrated suspension, and Mono Link adjustable geometry.

Trek Road Bikes

Trek is most widely recognized for its exceptional road bicycles, used by the World Tour team Trek Segafredo. Their road bikes are made for speed and efficiency on paved surfaces and gravel.

The company makes four distinct styles of road bikes in a range of builds:

• Aero (Madone) – Most popular racing bike for its aerodynamic tubing
• Lightweight all-rounder (Emonda) – The all-rounder lightweight climbing choice
• Endurance (Domane) – Built for comfort over long distances, with more relaxed, stable geometry and 38mm tire clearance
• Gravel – A fast off-roader with mounts for accessories and more tire clearance

You can find Trek road bikes with OCLV Carbon or Alpha Aluminum frames and SRAM or Shimano groupsets, depending on the price, which ranges from just over $1,000 for the cheapest Domane AL 2 to over $12,500 for the highest spec version of each.

Some exciting technologies used on Trek’s road bikes include invisible cabling design, IsoCore vibration dampening, and adjustable IsoSpeed micro-suspension.

Trek also mentions its aim to make each bike as effective as possible for both sexes, eliminating the need to find a women-specific model.

Trek Hybrid Bikes

Urban & Commuter / Fitness / Dual-sport / Recreation / Women’s / Kids’

Aluminum / Carbon

Trek hybrids are another hugely popular range of bikes among casual cyclists. These urban bikes are designed for versatility and benefit from the trickle-down of technology from the brand’s most innovative models. These hybrids include:

• FX 1-6 – This is a speedy fitness bike with a rigid fork
• Dual Sport 1-4 – A suspension fork hybrid built to tackle off-road terrain or function as a fully-equipped commuter
• Verve 1-3 – This is the ultimate comfortable hybrid bike with upright geometry and a low-step option available

These bikes come in various builds, including OCLV Carbon or Alpha Aluminum for the frames; step-over, step-thru, or low-step designs; IsoZone handlebar-integrated suspension, IsoSpeed Decoupler for endurance comfort, and mounts for a rack and fenders.

These bikes range from around $500 for the cheapest FX 1 to over $2,000 for the most expensive FX 6 Carbon and can be paired with various accessories to customize the bikes for your diverse urban or commuter needs.

Trek Electric Bikes

Each of Trek’s traditional bike ranges has a selection of e-bikes to complement it. This includes eHybrid, eMTB, and eRoad.

• Allant+ and Verve+ – Two fully equipped urban hybrid electric bikes, the Allant being the more sporty of the two
• E-Caliber, Rail, and Powerfly – Three full-suspension e-mountain bike options. The Rail is a long-travel MTB, and the E-caliber is a super lightweight XC bike
• Domane+ – Trek’s endurance road model goes electric with a lightweight and comfortable design that makes all-day riding a breeze

All of their bicycles use Bosch e-bike systems. Bosch produces some of the most innovative systems on the market with stylish integration, powerful mid-drive motors, and large-capacity batteries.

Trek uses the design technology found on their traditional bikes on many of their electric ranges, such as the IsoZone, IsoSpeed suspension, and premium frame engineering.

In addition, Trek’s subsidiary brand Electra has two comfort-focused “Recreation” electric models, the Townie Path Go and Attitude Go, and one hybrid, the Vale Go.

These e-bikes cover a wide price range, comparable to the standard bikes, beginning at around $1,600 for the entry-level Electra Townie up to $12,500 and $13,500 for the top-end road and MTB models.

Got a 1989 Trek 1400 road bike, I love that thing, it was converted to STI brifters, and the bike itself even for today’s standards is so light!

I haven’t had the privilege to ride it, but the bike looks great! I’m sure it rides like the wind 🙂

Please doble check when you buy a Trek bike! For self experience, I bought one 10 month ago (all stock) and the chainring start touching the frame. I thought it was normal because I think they put correct components. But that was not the case they put a 36t and 26t xt crankset. My frame is completely damaged and I was worry because I do not want to get a accident. I went to the shop and they tell me was my fault they don’t give me any guaranty so that what I think this bike it’s worst do not buy repeat.

Oh man, sad to hear. What model was it?

road race & triathlon, Shimano 105 components, ICON Air Rail fork

• USER REVIEWS

light weight frame, the Rolf Vectors were great, smooth roling wheels(but they arnt as light as my team ti's) 105 works great, never a problem with this bike

other than Its owner, The Alum Frame is a little harch on chip and seal roads, but the ti spokes and carbon seatpost help alot

Id like to say Ive been kind to this bike but I havent.in the last 4000 miles, Its flipped out of my truck bed,crashed a few times, once it did an endo into a ditch, but this is one tough frame, tougher than me.

Similar Products Used:

My other bike is a 30 yr old 531 lugged Crescent, Great for its day but similar, not

Stiff, light frame. Fast and very comfortable for long rides. Handles beautifully and is nicely stable even during occasional 40 mph downhills. The Rolf wheels are amazing - light but very tough, needing only very slight truing despite >1200 miles per year. Excellent value, with high performance without a stunning price tag.

Replaced the stock seat with a Mens Lib Ti - much more comfortable. Also broke one of the pedal clips while far from home, and had to walk miles in cleats. Shimano 105 deraileurs require a little tinkering to keep shifting smoothly. Flashy red color is obnoxious to me, but some might prefer to show off.

Just to add my homage regarding this bike to other folk's glowing reviews. This was my first really good bike, and I loved it from the first ride three years ago to the most recent just this morning. 5500 miles and counting. Can't wait to ride again tomorrow. Nice and light, very responsive, comfortable ride, rolls and corners faster than friends' boutique bikes. Thank you, Trek. Hope your recent models are as good as this one.

Old Japanese steel bike ("Eldorado") for commuting to grad school. No comparison.

The bike is lightweight, and handles very well. The triple chain ring is very useful for me when riding around the hills of Austin. Some days the headwind is so strong in Austin that I need the largest ring even on the semi-flat areas.

None that I have yet noticed regarding the bike itself, except perhaps that the aluminum frame allows bumps to be felt more intensely. The only real weaknesses are related to my own physiology---I get a numb lower back and numb right hand after riding only about 45 minutes. I never had the back numbness problem with my mountain bike where I am seated more vertically.

The 2000 version of the Trek 2200 is an excellent bike. I bought it brand new off the shelf in May of 2002. It is hard to believe it had not sold over the 2000 or 2001 seasons. But because of its age, a 25% discount was offered, resulting in the before-tax price of $1,229.

I test rode bikes that were 2 or 3 times more expensive, including Look and LeMond. But for the price, I am completely happy with the Trek 2200.

This is a light, fast, and comfortable bike. The gearing took some practice, but is terrific.The ROLF wheels are superb, and wouldn''t have any other kind now.

Very poor tires. I had to replace both at 1500 miles.

First road bike, after having ridden a hybrid, greatly modified, for over 18 months. The 2200 initial set-up was difficult for me. I changed the saddle immediately, and had to raise the handlebars about one inch to preclude dead hands, arms,shoulders.

I feel good riding this bike. Componentry performs well. This is my first road bike in my adult life, I wanted to stay under a $1k but after test riding this bike a few times I had to have it!!

None that I have found.....there a few creeks here or there (or is that my body?)

Excellent bike for the price. I feel you are getting a quality bike with very good components that performs well for under $1500, granted I did buy new as last year's model. The 2001 model has the same setup and would recommend it. I also have to Thank Alan for turning me onto this ride....

Test rode Lemond Buenos Aries, Specialized Allez Sport, Bianci model?? - all these bikes felt good, the Trek felt/performed as good as all the others, plus the price was right

Light Frame. Very responsive. Great acceleration capabilities.

Hard to fit a frame pump on, so I carry CO2. Other than that, can't pick on it too much.

If I had to make a decision all over again I would get this exact same bike. It's carried me thousands of miles and the quality components are so easy to maintain. For the price- it can't be beat.

Own Trek 830 hardtail mountain bike. Trek is great!

Great feel. Super strength and integrity in the ride. It is very responsive. If you're new to aluminum, it might seem a little electric at first. That's because it so light. Very fast.

I did not like the clips that came stock.

I wanted a bike that would make me competitive. This did. I love the ride. I love the bike and my Triathlon work has show the results. I'm finishing in the top 5 in age group now and moving up. It's a rocket! I would recommend it to anyone wanting a fast, responsive road bike that can race, too. Put it this way, you could spend a lot more for a bike and get much less. This a great value. It just feels good to ride.

The frame only weights 2.9 pounds. The carbon fiber fork helps to cushion front shocks. Shimano 105 gears have worked flawlessly in the last 600+ miles. The Rolf Vector wheels have had no problem with my 250+ pounds. I added the Shimano Flight Deck computer that has also worked flawlessly.

The single sided SPD clipless pedals had to go. I could not get used to having to look to turn the pedals over to be able to clip in. Shifting gears on the front sproket took some getting used to.

Afte riding this bike for the first hundred miles or so I knew it would be a while before I would be able to take full advantage of what this bike is capable of. Shifting is a click and a snap. The computer even shows the gear (2-5) second ring, fifth gear and the gear ratio 2:21. My wife got the WSD (womens specific design) and just loves it. I tested several bikes and the Trek 2200 was by far the best for the price. I will be using this bike for single day rides of 20-50 miles and on the STP (Seattle to Portland) and we will be doing multiday tours. If you want a bike that will serve for all kinds of road riding, the Trek 2200 is for you.

This is my first road bike.

Great bike. Nice color (red), Shimano105 parts work great. Rolf Vector wheels are nice, bike responds well..smooth shifting, quick acceleration. Feels much better than my old steel bike. Dealer gave me a perfect fit, so no neck, back problems...

Did not keep saddle or pedals.

Graet bike. I love it, would not trade it in for any other bike ( well, maybe a titanium frame. I looked at other bikes, best bang for your buck with Trek. Same price range in other manufacturers had some part that was a home brand. No sneaky tricks with the Trek. It was all very upfront and clear.

Steve Bauer cromoly

At 6'2" and 200lbs it has to be the strong frame, it is very stiff when climbing and sprinting but supple enough to soak up the undulations in the road.

Very few, at that price it would have been nice to get an A-head set though.

Fantastic for the price an absolute steal. Better than any other £1000-£1200 bike I can find on the British market. Strong frame coupled to great easy maintenance groupset make an excellent package, well done TREK. As a keen recreational cyclist I strongly recommend this frame in any one of its guises 2000, 2200 and 2300 models, no excuse as to why an amatuer racer cannot compete strongly on this product.
