It has Shimano's inexpensive but rather good Sora components and the women's specific WSD geometry 100 Series Alpha aluminium frame is paired up with Trek carbon road forks. The frame also has mounts for mudguards and even a rear rack.

Saddle, seatpost, handlebars and bar tape are all Bontrager, as are the tubeless ready rims and tyres.

One of the innovative things about all four bikes in the Lexa range is Trek's exclusive and rather clever Seeglass coating, which uses crushed glass to enhance reflectivity from 360 degrees.

The result is also subtly sparkly, so it's an extra safety/sparkly bike double win.

With that sparkly black frame and occasional red accent (seat post collar, cable ends etc), it's a smart looking bike and suggests a price tag far above its modest £650.

It would be a very picky soul indeed who couldn't be happy with the look of this, and it doesn't scream out girly.

Out and about, it was a very enjoyable ride. There was no real feeling of being overburdened with weight, the handling was steady and reliable but nimble enough to be engaging and it rode well both up and down hill, as well as on the flat.

The frame and carbon fork are decently stiff, but don't present any major problems with road buzz.

The fit felt spot on for me, with everything within comfortable reach, although the Sora levers weren't the most comfortable for female hands.

I would probably have upgraded the unbranded alloy brakes if it were my bike, since the braking itself, although reliable and effective, was a little on the sluggish side.

The bar tape was comfortable and reasonably well cushioned.

Climbing, the bike felt quite positive, and responded nicely to me getting out of the saddle. The gearing a combination of 50/34 chainrings and 11-28 cassette, which gives gears low enough for slogging up most gradients, with decent high gears for descents or giving it some welly on the flat.

Cornering was also a case of the bike going where you asked it to, rather than taking its own radically different line. It's always reassuring when your bike goes where you ask it to.

Even the Bontrager Affinity 1 WSD saddle was comfortable. In my experience that's almost unheard-of with the seats that come fitted to bikes, but the Affinity has good width and firmness, and supported sitbones well over a variety of distances.

While not delivering the ear-to-ear grin of some road bikes, the Lexa S certainly punches above its weight in terms of looks, comfort, value for money and in providing a reliably enjoyable and encouraging ride.

It's a bike that's sure to keep new riders riding, and most likely keep them in the Trek fold when they get round to upgrading.

Attractive, great value for money, punching well above its weight in performance too

Tell us what the bike is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about the bike?

Trek says: "Lexa is a light, fast women's road bike. Sleek shaping and a carbon fork make Lexa the perfect choice for road rides, triathlons, or however you choose to rack up the miles."

Frame and fork

Tell us about the build quality and finish of the frame and fork?

A tried and tested frame built to a high quality. The same for the carbon forks.

Tell us about the materials used in the frame and fork?

Frame is made from Trek's 100 Series Alpha Aluminium

Fork is Trek carbon road

Tell us about the geometry of the frame and fork?

The women's specific geometry of the frame gives a nice mid ground between long distance sportive type comfort and the nippy handling of a race bike. It delivers enough of both to please most types of road rider.

How was the bike in terms of height and reach? How did it compare to other bikes of the same stated size?

Felt less rangy than some other women's specific bikes of a similar size, and definitely less rangy than unisex models of a similar size. Everything felt easily accessible and within comfortable reach. The effect was pleasantly compact without feeling like I was on a tiny circus bike, and there was none of the toe overlap problems and the like which can sometimes be a problem with small bikes.

Riding the bike

Was the bike comfortable to ride? Tell us how you felt about the ride quality.

Very comfortable. The ride felt responsive without being twitchy, smooth, fast enough for fitness riding and comfortable over good distances.

Did the bike feel stiff in the right places? Did any part of the bike feel too stiff or too flexible?

Felt stiff enough at all times and yet no road buzz problems.

How did the bike transfer power? Did it feel efficient?

Felt surprisingly efficient given it's a fairly entry level bike.

Was there any toe-clip overlap with the front wheel? If so, was it a problem?

How would you describe the steering? Was it lively, neutral or unresponsive? Steering was fairly neutral. Nice and reliable.

Tell us some more about the handling. How did the bike feel overall? Did it do particular things well or badly?

The bike handled well in all situations. It was capable in all areas, but did not excel at climbing and descending. There were no problems in this area, it just felt its limitations at this point.

Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's comfort? would you recommend any changes?

All the components were well selected for comfort, but I'd probably have changed the Sora levers and the brakes, and perhaps also the bars for a fractionally more female friendly set-up. Even the saddle was good!

Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's stiffness? would you recommend any changes?

No changes.

Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's efficiency? would you recommend any changes?

No changes- everything well selected, particularly at this price point.

The drivetrain

Wheels and tyres.

Tell us some more about the controls. Any particularly good or bad components? How would the controls work for larger or smaller riders?

The bars set-up and levers weren't as comfortable for smaller hands as some

Your summary

Did you enjoy riding the bike? Very much.

Would you consider buying the bike? Definitely .

Would you recommend the bike to a friend? In a heart beat.

Anything further to say about the bike in conclusion?

A cracking first road bike or an excellent value choice for those on a budget. Capable, a good all-rounder and looks fabulous.

Latest news, reviews and features for women who like to ride.

Road cycling, review: trek lexa s, at £650 the trek lexa s really impressed us.

If you are in search of a ‘good all rounder’ bike that will not make your eyes water when you see the price tag, then the Trek Lexa S might be just what you are looking for.

I have been riding the Trek Lexa S for about a month now. I have taken it for leisurely weekend spins, long training rides and even on a little off-road adventure from Esher to Shoreham by Sea. And I have to say I have been hugely impressed by this bike.

First up, it will not break the bank. At £650 (recently reduced from £700), it is worth every single penny and a few more in my opinion.

One of the most notable things about the bike, is how comfortable it is to ride. Its streamlined shaping and women’s specific geometry help to take the pressure away from the three contact points on the bike (handlebars, saddle and pedals). Riding a bike that does not fit you correctly can result in a whole host of problems such as neck and back pain and fatigue in your arms. While women’s specific geometry will alleviate these issues, it is still advised to opt for a professional bike fit so you can ensure that your bike is the correct fit for you.

Riding position on the bike is quite relaxed making it an especially good choice if you are planning on taking part in longer rides or sportives in the near future. Although don’t be perturbed this this. The bike is lovely and nippy when pushed. I even managed to beat my boyfriend up a short, snappy climb on a recent ride! This is in part thanks to the 100 Alpha aluminium frame which is both light and strong.

Gear shifting on this bike was absolutely fantastic. Unlike the majority of other bikes in this price range, the Lexa S offers a double instead of a triple (two chainwheels, not three). This is then matched with a nine speed cassette. This set up makes it quicker and more efficient to find the right gear eliminating clunky gear changes and allowing you more time to focus on enjoying yourself.

The Shimano Sora shifters were easily reached thanks to the female specific geometry of the bike. And I am glad to report that my bizarrely small hands reached the both the brakes and the gears with no problems whatsoever.

To further enhance the comfort of the ride, the Lexa S is equipped with carbon forks, which not only contribute to a lighter bike are also fantastic when it comes to absorbing shock, thus lessening the pressure on your arms and upper body.

The bike also comes equipped with a female specific saddle that suited my hardened backside just fine, but this is one element of the bike that you might want to upgrade. After all finding the perfect saddle will contribute no end to the enjoyment of your ride.

It is very hard to complete a review on the Trek Lexa S without passing comment on the look of the bike. Let’s just say there were more than a few oohs and ahhs when this one was taken out of the box. The sleek black on the bike has a subtle glitter through it giving the bike an extra special feel without being too girly.

Overall this is a really smashing bike. For £650 it really does offer incredible value for money. The women’s specific geometry, light aluminium frame, carbon forks and streamlined appearance make this bike feel special to ride. I honestly do not think you can go wrong with this one.

Model overview.

Lexa S Compact completes the Trek Lexa model. There are 37 bikes that carry this model name. You can easily view all of the Trek Lexa bikes models from 2014 , here .

When cycling always take safety very seriously. Wear a helmet, obey the traffic rules and wear hi-vis clothes. In short, take care of yourself so others can take care of you.

Race bikes average price

Our math shows that the average cost of a dependable Race bike is 3350 $ . However, paying less money than this amount doesn’t mean that you couldn’t get a great Race bike. As a general rule of thumb, you should always read reviews about the bike and its components before buying it to ensure you don’t pay too much.

Lexa S Compact components

Fork material.

The fork is made out of carbon, so, it won’t add up to much weight to your bike. However, the price you have to pay for a carbon fork is considerably higher.

When leaving the production line, the Lexa S Compact model has 700c aluminum wheels. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.

For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek Lexa S Compact has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.

Trek’s new top-level women’s sportive bike is more than just a higher spec Lexa — despite the name it’s actually a Domane in disguise

Last updated June 29 Not listed for 2,485 days

Cycling Passion

a passion, an emotion, a sport

Trek 2014 Models

Trek has launched its 2014 series road bikes. The most remarkable improvement in the new Trek road bikes is the strong specs on the entry-level 1 Series. Now all Trek 1 series frames have a carbon fork, including the 1.1. There are also improvements across the Madone and Domane lines, i.e. the frames of the Madone 4 Series are aero now.

Trek has announced that, from now on, they won’t do annual updates, instead they’ll release bikes as soon as they are developed and produced. They called this “Apple approach”: Trek UK marketing manager Chris Garrison said that “We are taking more of the Apple approach. When the iPhone 5 is ready, it’s ready, and it goes on sale. But you can still buy an iPhone 4 if that’s your thing.”

Trek 2014 collection: Race Performance Series

Madone 7 series.

Madone 7 is the highest level road bike that Trek produces, hand-built from OCLV Carbon in Waterloo, Wisconsin, USA. The Madone 7 Team edition, pictured above, has been used by the UCI Pro team RadioShack-Leopard at the Tour de France 2013 and took a stage win with Jan Bakelants.

It is equipped with Shimano Dura-Ace 9070 Di2 11-speed drivetrain, Bontrager Aeolus 5 clincher wheels with Bontrager R4 Black tires. Madone 7 is coming with 10 different builds, but the specifications, like all Trek models, are highly customizable, you can build your own bike at the Trek cycles website.

The US price of the Trek Madone 7 2014 Team edition is $12,421.48 (on the Trek US page).

Madone 6 Series

Madone 6 is also hand-built from OCLV Carbon in Waterloo, Wisconsin, USA. You can choose H1 or H2 geometry. The biggest difference is in the length of the head tube. With the H1 fit, it’s 16cm on a 58cm frame; with the H2 fit, it’s 19cm. In H2 geometry, the top tube is also a bit shorter and just a touch steeper head angle. That means your ride position is a little more upright to take the strain off your back and neck, without the need to use a stack of flexing spacers. The H2 setup is still performance-orientated, but it’s a bit more relaxed.

The Madone 6.2, pictured above, is coming with Ultegra 6800 groupset, Bontrager Race Light TLR wheels with Bontrager R3 Black tires. The price of this build is $4,897.19 (on Trek US page). 8 different builds are available.
