"Its light, aluminium frame requires a lot less effort to ride than the steel alternatives above and its 21-speed Shimano Tourney/Altus drivetrain is a higher-quality range than any of the cheaper alternatives. It’s the finishing kit, though, where you’ll notice a big difference: the smattering of Bontrager components boost comfort at each of the bike’s key touchpoints (saddle and grips)."

"If you want an affordable bike that’s built to last, the Trek FX 1 could be for you. Its dependable yet lightweight frame won’t hold you back as you explore new terrain. Plus, it’s comfortable and sturdy. If you want a reliable ride for exploring trails near and far, you can’t go wrong with this Trek hybrid."
