Features

200 Series Alpha Aluminum

Trek's high-performance road alloy, formed into sophisticated tube shapes for maximum strength and minimum weight.

Carbon fork

Lightweight fork with carbon fiber legs soaks up hand-numbing road vibration.

Flat Mount disc brakes

All-new Flat Mount disc brakes are more elegant, lighter, smaller, and cleaner than traditional disc brakes, providing superior performance and stopping power under harsh conditions.

Tubeless Ready rims

Bontrager TLR (Tubeless Ready) Road is the first fully integrated tubeless system for road wheels. When you go tubeless with TLR, you can run lower tire pressure for increased traction and comfort without the threat of pinch flats.

Control Freak Cable Management

The lightest, quietest, most versatile cable management system allows any combination of shift, brake, lockout, and dropper post lines to be routed through the frame for clean looks and the ultimate custom setup.

Hidden fender mounts

Discreet mounts accommodate full-coverage fenders for added utility.

Rack mounts

Going for a long ride? Rack mounts make carrying accessories a breeze.

Sizing & fit

The charts below show our recommended sizes based on height, but there are some other factors, like arm and leg length, that determine a great fit. That’s why you’ll see some overlap in our recommendations. Not every rider who’s 5´8˝, for example, will fit on the same size bike. The best way to find your perfect fit is to consult the experts at your local Trek retailer.
