I have the 2022 Trek FX2. It is really good as an errand runner, daily rider, grocery getter bike. I added Bontrager's MIK Rack to the rear and an Electra Branded MIK Front rack. So much cargo capacity, I have no problem restocking my pantry with coffee, oatmeal, canned soup, or rice via "bike shopping". Regular trips to the grocery store are breeze. Plus, when unloaded, the FX2 is still light enough to be a fun bike to ride around the neighborhood or to my nearest coffee shop. It can be a bit sketchy on rough roads/gravel, but that's not my usual use case.

I got my FX2 in August 2022. Great bike that ultimately got me into road cycling. I was able to go on many road rides with pretty serious groups and keep up despite the relatively high weight in comparison to their setups. Now it's my commuter bike as I got an actual road bike.

Highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of buying one!

I have a 2022 dual sport 2 and I Love it. I cycle 12-18 miles 4 times a week . The front suspension allows me to go over road debris when it’s difficult’ to get into traffic.

Saving some $ for this one. Hoping to get it in the next few months! Thanks for the review.

I realize many people have been sold that 1x is the better drivetrain, but here in Seattle my legs really appreciate the wide range of a 2x and even, shudder, an “old school” 3x system.

Hi, thanks for the presentation, do you think we can change the tires for 28mm instead of the 35mm originally?

My old 2019 fx 2 still does the job, and I love it dearly. People can have their multi thousand dollar aero race rigs, and they’re beautiful and blazing fast, don’t get me wrong. But there’s something about an easy to ride, versatile and dependable bike that appeals to me too. It ain’t much, but it’s a honest bike.

Edit: one thing I was confused about is why they chose Altus for the rear mech and Acera for the front. I always thought that since the rear mech is used more, they’d want the higher spec, and therefore better, mech (assuming it’s not a matching set) on the rear to handle shifts more smoothly.

Very well done. I am a bit surprised that it’s only (5) pounds lighter than Marlin 5 Mountain bike.

How do the trek fx's compare to the specialized sirrus and sirrus x models ?
Thanks

[Undergroundglitch]

I have this exact bike, It's incredibly SOLID, I love it. Perfect.

Jumping off curbs. Can the fork handle it or that would stress the other components. Maybe i shoul look for shock absorbing.

[Ody-upkg]

I am pretty sure that the mid fork braze ons are for Lowrider pannier racks.

What’s a good affordable indoor trainer for this bike?

We have an older FX3 in the household and I was completely shocked to find that it has a proprietary handlbar and grips. Trek actually crushes the bar ends so that you can't use aftermarket grips which was quite a surprise. My LBS couldn't believe it.

[elachichai]

Compare with dropbar Diverge or Checkpoint? Or Roubaix or Domane?

[stanley]

hi. I'm deciding what to buy? fx2 or FX 3. I listened to your review on fx3 and still haven'tdecided which bicycle. fx2 or fx3. I like fx2 wider gear range. more accessories can be added to fx2.

Looking for review of Trek Verve 3 electric. Do you do reviews on Elec bikes?

I ordered my Trek FX 2 disk online a month ago, they would not ship to my home so I went to the bike shop to pick up, the other day I noticed the breaks had air in the lines so went to fix it. That's when I saw it has rush hydraulic calipers. Called Trek and they told me return it to the shop and they will service it under warranty. I called the bike shop and they would charge me $45 to service the bike, what good is Trek warranty and no they will not replace the no name crap with good parts.

[High_Octane]

I prefer the looks and ergonomics of the Sirrus x

Hi there. I have just purchased this bike here in New Zealand and find it way faster than my little folding Langtu 20". Well I guess you would but firstly I LOVE the disc brakes and the beautifully smooth gear changing and drive system. So seemless. i do have a question regarding the 67 cm handle bars which seem a little too wide. I've moved the bar components and grips inwards to achieve an overall width of 57 cm (22"). Do you have any comment please on the width of the OEM bar? Thanks
