I am a research junkie and after riding the Trek Verve 1 Disc and the Trek Marlin 1 as well as the Dual Sport, I bought a Dual Sport today. It felt more versatile than the other two, and I felt more comfortable and in control riding it. I'm 5' 10" and got the Large in the Deep Dark Blue.

I'm a huge fan of 2x drivetrains on commuter and Gravelbikes. I actually converted my Shoppingbike from 3x10 to 2x10 and it's so much nicer that way. This bike seems very sensible to me - for a budget bike I don't see a downside on this.

Got mine preordered so hopefully I can get it in January so excited.

I have a dual sport 1 and it honestly feels so good I rode for 3 hours even going uphill and didn’t get tired at all 😭 felt like a electric bike. Like I literally thought I was on a electric bike for a second. (I can’t go over 30 minutes riding a decent bike) but trek is just something else

Have question about gearing. When the front gear was in 1 or 2 nothing changed. I had to push and hold it to change gear above the 2 where it's blank to get the front gear on the bigger gear. I rode it all day in that gear. Most of time rear gear was in 4 or 5.

took this today, was on dsicount, wanted to go to dual sport 2 but it was sold out. Will see how it goes.

Great review, James! I love the quicksilver w/ red logo! I think this is a great option for me…. I have a Marlin however I only use it for commuting on pavement….. thx again for the tips & expertise.

This is still a nice looking bike and very capable for a Dual Sport 1

Can you do a review on the 2022 FX 3, I’m really interested in that bike

[padesignconsultancy]

There is a $160 CAD difference between the Sport 1 and Sport 2 - is Sport 2 worth that difference?

Got mine pre-ordered and supposed to be in a Cali warehouse on January 17th 2022. I'm Soo excited. 1st bike in a decade. I need to find a huge seat for long riding. Any recommendations for some big boy seats?

[peterbaskind]

I wonder why they are still using the older M310 rear derailleur, rather than the more recent version. That changed three years ago.

great review what u say legit true on the chain drive systems by 2x most efficiency, try review giant flourish, i fall down twice injured myseld because of that bike 😅 simply too fast and dangerous hybrid

I like my Canyon Exceed CF7 mountain bike. 😁

[RobertSmith-kmed]

I like this bike except for the brakes. They are really noisy. I tried to get the Trek dealer to fix them but he said it was characteristic of the bike. What? Really...He said he rode others and they sound the same. Not a good answer and just because it is an entry level bike, should not make it inferior. I use this as a cross over for working out on paved trails, dirt roads, paved roads and such. I have a mountain bike for my backyard which is Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs.

I'm 6ft 85kg, will it be compatible for me?

[kwaktak]

So 3x’s are going the way of the dodo? How does the Marlin 4 compare?

[neuhtzieme]

You said 2022 at the start and 2021 at the end. Which is it?

[garyjones]

Is there any point to the Dual Sport 1 with no lockout on suspension, surely this makes it obsolete, so go for the Dual Sport 2
