Road bikes are designed to be ridden primarily on tarmac for recreation, fitness and speed. These are the bikes that you see everywhere from the Tour de France to the group road ride at your local bike shop. Road bike technology has developed at a rapid pace, and new bikes are lighter, stronger, more comfortable and faster than ever before. All Trek road bikes will perform effectively in a wide variety of riding situations, from racing to long-distance touring. But each style is designed to emphasise certain rider priorities and be used for a particular type of ride. Determining which style of bike fits your goals is the first step in identifying the one that you’ll most enjoy riding.

Our first consideration
Before any other major bike company was even thinking about designing for women, we released our first full line of women-specific bikes. That was in 2000, and we’ve been refining our women’s product offering ever since. Every Trek Women’s road bike is informed by years of experience considering women from the very beginning.
What makes it WSD?
It’s not just a different paint scheme. The Trek Women’s Specific Design (WSD) badge indicates that a product was designed, tested and developed to address the specific needs of women cyclists that we’ve researched throughout the years.
WSD touchpoints
Aside from the pedals, you only touch your bike in two places. And if those places aren’t right for you, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Every Trek Women’s road bike has touchpoints designed for specifically for women, including saddles and handlebars.
The bikes
See the world
Touring bikes aren’t designed to win races or set records, unless your kind of record is seeing more of the world from the saddle. These bikes are designed to take you long distances in comfort. Looking for adventure? A touring bike is right for you.
Haul the essentials
Big adventures can require extra gear. Touring bikes have features that make it simple to mount racks, panniers and other bags so that you can carry everything you need to explore.
Ready for adventure
Touring bikes are built to stand up to the rigours of travel. From city streets to mountain vistas or desert roads, these bikes are built to last.
Ready to race
Cross bikes are designed for cyclocross racing, a growing and beginner-friendly discipline that involves racing skinny-tyre bikes on circuit courses that are primarily off-road, on grass and sometimes on trails.
Tough and capable
Features like treaded tyres and disc brakes make CX bikes most at home on dirt, grass, gravel and mud. In the off-season, it’s easy to swap the treaded tyres for slicks for a more efficient ride on the road.
World Cup Champs
Trek cyclocross bikes have been piloted to World Cup victories thanks to their dialled geometries, light weights and other race-ready features.
Ultimate aero performance
Tri bikes take the aerodynamic benefits of integration and special tube shaping to an entirely new level. In a sport without drafting, these advanced aerodynamics give you the ability to cut through the wind for an ultra-efficient ride.
Put down power
Triathlon bikes are designed to transfer all of your power onto the road. They are exceptionally stiff, making them ideal for long, relatively flat stretches of road.
Race-specific features
A triathlon bike is the best choice if your primary interest in cycling is to train for triathlons and race in them. For riding that’s not as tailored to a specific purpose, a more traditional road bike is probably a better choice.
