I’m sorry if I come off as an annoying hipster or basic, but I really love hybrids! Not only are they reliable, do it all workhorses, but there’s no pretense with them! You won’t be expected to don lycra and use clipless pedals, worry about aero gains or the difference between coil and air forks. You just get on and go, and I think that’s beautiful.

I bought a top UK spec Trek dual sport back in 2013 for £1000 and it’s still one of the sweetest riding bikes I’ve owned. The latest frames are different to mine which has a kind of rubber cushion on the rear stays and a handlebar mounted lockout for the front suspension. The hydraulic disc brakes are amazingly powerful.

Just bought the DS 2 Gen 5. It dispenses with suspension and has a tire with a smooth center patch but everything else is the same. It checked all my boxes when shopping. Love it!

Thanks for the great review! Because of your thorough review I went out and bought one today and I love it! Thanks

[Shogun]

Thank you for the informative video. Just picked up my 2022 Trek DS2. So far it's an awesome bike

[codisdead]

I got a dual sport 3.
Absolutely brilliant bike.

[SimBryant]

I'm smitten with this bike. It performs well in multiple terrain conditions and can run with a road bike (for a while). The seat is very comfortable!

I just ordered my ds3 two days ago. Thanks for the great review. Now I'm really looking forward to it!

[kurtwicklund]

Thanks for the rundown. I just bought one of these bad boys.

Just bought this bike, and came in yesterday after 2 weeks. thanks for this video, it helped me decide

Another good option if you ride a lot of single track trails is you can get a marlin series bike and swap the knobbies out for a gravel style tire when riding pavement. Like the video said if you're riding mostly paves and very light off road the dual sport is amazing but if you're looking for somthing a little more capable off road a dual purpose marlin is also amazing.

I just lost my custom restored vintage 1995 GT Karakoram mountain bike in the Hurricane Ian storm surge on Sanibel Island. I’m thinking this Trek will make a fine replacement and actually suit the type of riding I do on the island better.

Now we just need to restore the island so it’s a nice place to ride again!

Hi! Great scenery! Will you review also DS3 2022? Which one is better? Is the DS3 worth extra bucks?

[geoneu]

Great bike I have the 2020 version and racked a lot of miles on mine love the bike..Definitely recommend it worth the purchase..👍

[markowsley]

Nice bike and review. I've actually been looking at taking a verve 3 and turning it into a touring bike. The geometry is almost identical to the trek 520(which is almost impossible to find) except for a slacker seat angle which I like. The alpha gold frame is rated for a higher weight rating than the steel 520. Trek is turning out some really good bikes.

[Gunhawk]

I got this exact same bike, but in the bright red color. So far it’s awesome

[Mendra]

I bought and received my 2022 Trek DS3 last month - looking forward to warmer weather to use it. Great review.

[williamcobb]

Getting back into bike riding, so your Trek videos have really helped out on selecting a bike that meets my needs. Super videos on all the bikes you've reviewed! Thanks for posting.

[Jinedan]

Love your videos! 29” MTB and 700c road wheels are the same diameter. You can even swap tires from one to the other without issue - barring rim width problems.

I have new bike psychosis watching this vid, not that my mind is made up about which model to buy but I have over the last week been "locked on" to the study of this style bike during all of my leisure time:) I've been riding a road bike (for road use of course)..but the rough condition of the roads is steering me to ride something designed to take off a bit of the constant jarring. Would be safer too, instead of looking at the pavement for cracks and bumps I'd be scanning for cars and just enjoying the scenery more...especially with disk brake stopping distance improvements.
