A hybrid bike can and will mean different things to different people. But sometimes it is simply the bike that fills the gaps, that doesn't do any one thing but in fact does it all. Purists may scoff and say to compromise is to ruin the essence of life: if you are not something, you are nothing. But Trek has offered a repost: if you can't be something, be everything.
That certainly appears to be the aim of the Trek FX 2 Disc Equipped. It's the jack-of-all-trades, odd-jobber of a bike. It comes, as the name suggests, fully loaded with a pannier rack, lights, mudguards and even a kickstand but what elevates it to a place among the best budget hybrid bikes available today is that, as part of Trek's fitness range, all that versatility does not come at the cost of all rideability.
And that's a crucial element. Just because a bike has more practical functions – going to the shops, commuting, family bike rides etc – doesn't mean it can't be fun, have its own personality and leave us looking forward to running that next errand.
Trek's FX range of bikes is quite extensive, starting at the £500.00/$599.99 FX 1 and going all the way to the full-carbon £3,050.00/$2,799.99 FX Sport 6. The FX 2 is available with a step-through frame – in both the Equipped and standard versions – and has been updated for 2023, with the main difference from the 2021 model being a move from a 3x8 to a 2x9 gearing system.
The FX 2 Disc Equipped is priced at £740.00 - it's not currently available in the USA - which is £90 more than the FX 2 Disc standard (£650.00/$799.99) which foregoes the rack, lights, mudguards and kickstand. Although it does come in a couple of extra colour options.
Design and specification
Recognising alloy frames' bad reputation for comfort compared to steel and carbon, Trek set itself a goal to "build more compliant frames that retain the acceleration and affordability that have always made aluminium popular" – and it is the fruit of that labour that the FX 2 Disc Equipped is designed around.
The Alpha Gold Aluminium frame, while not the lightest, does offer a great balance between responsiveness and comfort. It is also strong: according to Trek, the FX 2 Disc can take weights of up to 136kg (for bike, rider, and cargo combined), which fares well compared to other hybrid bikes in the same class such as the Merida Speeder 200 (120kg) and Scott Sub Cross 50 (128kg). The pannier rack that comes with it is also very solid and suitable for carrying loads up to 25kg despite weighing less than 600g itself.
My size large test bike as a whole weighed in at 13.4kg with pedals. The rack, lights, mudguards, and kickstand account for just over a kilogram of that weight but it's still a touch on the heavy side for a fixed-frame hybrid in this price range.
While the focus is on the practicality of the frame, it is by no means ugly – especially when stripped of all the accessories – with internal cable routing, a gentle curve to the top tube that is reminiscent of the Specialized Sirrus (one of the classic beauties of the hybrid world) and the choice of a striking Viper Red or classy Lithium grey colourway. The geometry is pretty much what you would expect from a hybrid, with perhaps a slightly longer chainstay length adding to its stability. It is not as upright as, say, the Sirrus but similar to the Cannondale Quick 3 – which is a good bike to use as a comparison in general.
Like the Quick 3, the Trek FX 2 comes with a Shimano Acera/Altus 2x9 drivetrain and has an integrated mounting system in the stem, as well as the ability to track cadence and other metrics using an integrated wireless sensor.
Trek's Blendr stem system is designed for easy installation of computers, lights and other accessories to your cockpit. It does, rather annoyingly, require an additional base to be purchased (which plugs into the stem) and then a further mount for the specific accessory (which attaches to the base) but that does allow for a wide range of options to suit all needs.
The DuoTrap S is a Bluetooth/ANT+ sensor that integrates into the chainstay and wirelessly transmits to a smartphone or computer to track cadence and other metrics. Again, it requires a separate purchase, but the frame is set up for it to be attached without the need for zip wires or other ungainly fasteners.
Trek has made an effort to include ergonomic grips on the FX 2 Disc Equipped, although they are a little on the basic side, especially compared to those on the more expensive models in the FX range.
The lights, however, are far more impressive, particularly the AXA Greenline 35 headlight. USB-charging, it has a wide beam, is also designed to be visible from the side and is discreetly mounted on the top of the fork, which avoids cluttering the cockpit.
The Tektro HD-R280 hydraulic disc brakes are pretty standard now for mid-range hybrids. My test bike came with Bontrager H2 Comp 700x32c tyres but with the mudguards fitted there is room for up to 35mm and Bontrager H2 Hard-Case Light 700x35c tyres are listed as an option on the spec sheet. Without the mudguards, Trek says the frame can accommodate tyres up to 38mm in width.
Performance
Trek deserves credit here for really delivering on its aim of a responsive-yet-compliant frame. It's one thing coming up with the jargon, but another bringing it to fruition at a genuinely affordable price. While the FX 2 Disc Equipped might come across as a bit of a plodder on paper, in reality, it has a surprising amount of responsiveness. Loaded up with a carry pack on top of the pannier rack, I was happy overtaking other cyclists on reasonably fast country roads, knowing I had the acceleration to get past and back across to the side of the road in ample time.
Yes, it's no speed demon – it doesn't have the playfulness of the Boardman URB 8.9 or the lightweight climbing ability of the Merida Speeder 200, two bikes at a similar price point – but where it completely outscores both is in comfort and stability, even with a rack, mudguards, light, kickstand all bolted on.
Interestingly enough, I took it for a ride with all those added extras stripped off and, while significantly lighter – making an obvious difference on climbs – there was not a huge noticeable change in its performance on the flat.
My test bike came with a slightly-different-to-advertised Microshift Marvo front derailleur instead of Acera T3000, which is roughly equivalent, and I had no issues with it. However, as a whole, I did find the drivetrain to be under-par for a fitness bike. It's perfectly functional and will get you pretty much wherever you need to go, but it is a little clunky and I noted that the next bike up in the FX range, the FX 3 Disc Equipped , comes with a 10-speed Shimano Deore groupset which, in my experience, is a huge step up in performance.
In particular, I could not get to grips with the drastic change when switching chainrings on the 46/30 chainset. If I didn't downshift on the 4th sprocket or earlier I found myself spinning out – and this is perhaps a rare example of the FX 2 Disc Equipped coming a little unstuck wanting to satisfy in all areas. That 16-tooth difference in the chainrings (the same difference as a 50/34 compact road chainset, for example) means the bike has the range to get up steep hills while also having enough gas on the flats, but the user experience is compromised a little in doing so.
Where it doesn't compromise, however, is in its comfort and handling, whether I took it on potholed roads, bike paths, or light gravel it felt so balanced and stable. I was even happy taking it on the grassy, rutted track of a nearby nature reserve – and this was all with the standard 32 mm tyres it came with. Even when there was a little rattling, you could tell it was coming from the rack, fenders, and lights rather than the frame.
Taking it out at night in light rain did little to change my faith in its dependability and the lights were superb, particularly the wide-beam fork-mounted headlamp – a marked improvement from the usual glorified-torch-on-the-handlebars setup I usually use. Neither front nor rear light offered an intermittent option but, having been driven to distraction on long night rides behind blinking bulbs in the past, that was no great loss to me.
I took the Trek FX 2 Disc Equipped on rides around the countryside, trips to the shops, rides with the kids, rides at night, in the rain, for exercise, for errands and more, and on every occasion, it delivered. It is solid and dependable without feeling clunky or cumbersome. It's not sexy but it's not ugly. It's not overly fun but it's no chore to ride.
It will do what it needs to do in almost every situation you will need a hybrid bike for. Not necessarily to the highest level, but to a high enough level that you won't feel like you are missing out.
Yes, I did find the Altus/Acera groupset to be restrictive in terms of performance but drivetrains can be upgraded, along with wheels and grips and seatposts etc. Having a top frame is such a great building block. I would stress, however, this frame still has a ceiling to what it can do as a fitness bike, even if it were upgraded in all those areas. It is built for sturdiness as much as anything else and the fact that its performance was similar with and without the rack, fenders, kickstand et al is quite telling. I'm not going to use it to take on the Brecon Beacons in the Dragon Ride but I might choose it over a more expensive performance-oriented bike for a long-distance overnight ride such as the Dunwich Dynamo , where comfort, stability and safety are the overriding priorities.

I just bought my first bike and i chose a trek fx2 disc bike and i was wondering if anyone who has rode this bike or just people who ride bikes on how good they think this bike is

If you are happy with the deal you got and it feels comfortable to ride, then it is a good bike! Trek are well known and respected brand. My mate had one and loved it...
I've got several Trek's and had a few more over the years, never been disappointed. My Dad has the FX3 disc from 2018 and it's very very good, I really like it. The FX2 seems really well specified for the price, proper Hydraulic Disc brakes and a good reliable drivetrain, the only thing I would suggest is replacing the stock pedals with something a bit better as the ones that come with it are a bit plastic - something like DMR MTB pedals would be perfect.

I've got a couple of Treks too including an older FX3 (rim braked), I'd have the FX2 disc any day... Nice bike!
Have a nice ride.

My latest and nicest ride is a Trek FX 7.6 from 2009. I bought it secondhand right before the pandemic hit. Going from my old school 1997 Bianchi mountain bike to my Trek hybrid with flat bars was like going from a tank to a jet airplane! I never knew a bike could feel so light and shift so smoothly. Mine is pre-disc brakes, but still wonderful all around. Enjoy your rides!

Trek FX 2 Review: Ultimate Guide To The Fitness Hybrid Gravel Grinder
- by Riding With Ryan (Official)
My first bike from a legitimate bike shop was a Trek FX 2 Disc. There have been several changes over the years, almost all making this bike even better. If you are just getting into cycling and are interested in this Trek FX 2 review, be very careful. This bike will draw you into cycling, and soon you will start obsessing about saving grams, LYCRA, and Strava KOMs. Also, be sure to check out this 2022 Trek FX 3 review .
No need to worry about high prices with this bike. In other words, the Trek FX 2 is an awesome bike with a low price point, below $1,000. So what kind of bike is it, and who is it good for? These are both questions we will answer, and more, in this Trek FX 2 review. After that, you will want to call your bike shop to setup a test ride.
What Kind Of Bike Is The Trek FX 2?
The Trek FX 2 is a fitness hybrid bike. A hybrid bike is simply any bike that doesn’t fall into a specific category like road bike, mountain bike or cruiser. Fitness hybrids are bikes with similar geometry to an endurance road bike, but it will have flat handlebars instead of traditional road bike drop bars.
Fitness hybrid bikes can be ridden in the road, on light gravel, or a combination of the two. They make great bikes for commuting, as well as making an awesome gravel bike with flat bars. It really is a do-it all bike that’s good at everything, great at nothing.
For a long time I ran two different sets of wheels on my Trek FX 2. I had a set of wheels with 40mm gravel tires, and I replaced the stock 35mm tires for some slightly more aggressive 32mm road tires for the factory wheelset. Eventually tire upgrades were not enough and I started buying upgraded bikes. However, I love my Trek FX 2 so much I still own it today.
Who Is The Trek FX 2 Good For?
The Trek FX 2 is made for anyone looking for a high quality ride without sacrificing comfort. This bike is incredibly fast to anyone not already riding a road bike. With beefier tires its a capable endurance bike.
The Trek FX 2 has multiple rack and fender mounts for commuters, and plenty of storage add-ons available for tourers.
It’s not often a single bike fills the holes of so many different riding disciplines. This Trek FX 2 review may be the first bike review I’ve done that covers road biking, fitness, gravel, and recreational riding. All of which are extremely fun and comfortable on the FX 2. The only riding discipline the FX 2 isn’t good for is mountain biking.
Trek FX 2 Gravel Upgrades
One of the most popular questions in the bike shop these days is about gravel bikes. Its an awesome riding discipline that has exploded in popularity for good reason. An easy and affordable way to ride gravel is with the Trek FX 2.
The maximum tire size recommended by Trek for the FX 2 Disc model is a 38mm tire. I have first hand experience fitting 40mm tires on my Trek FX 2 without a single issue. Above all, you don’t want to risk your warranty. It’s best to stay within the specifications Trek recommends. Adding fenders restricts that maximum tire size to 35mm.
After the new tires the FX 2 is ready to shred your next gravel trail. Modifying grips and saddles, as well as adding clipless pedals are all recommendations I would make. Getting those accessories specifically for gravel riding will only enhance your riding experience.
Gravel Purists, or Gravel Snobs, will not appreciate your flat bar gravel bike. Gravel bikes have drop handlebars. Some forged bar ends hanging down should be the final touch to keep everyone happy. They will also give you some additional hand positions on longer rides.
Is the Trek FX 2 Worth It?
Yes, the 2022 Trek FX 2 Disc is certainly worth it’s $779.99 price tag. Save the extra $150 to afford the Trek FX 3 Disc. It comes with an upgraded group set and a carbon fork to eat up additional vibrations from the road. In other words, you can’t go wrong with any Trek FX model.
The 2022 Trek FX 2 Disc bikes come in two color options. Firstly, is Trek’s traditional Satin Lithium Gray that has been a color option every year on the FX model. The second color option is absolute fire. It is Satin Viper Red and it looks amazing.
I love the Viper Red for two reasons. Firstly, it makes the bike look great and look fast. Secondly, is the way the color stands out. Someone driving by is going to see this Viper Red bike. If they see you they are less likely to run you over. Which is, you know, a great thing!

Trek FX 2 Disc vs Rim Brakes
Trek offers the FX 1 and 2 models in rim brake and disc brake versions. The FX 3 is disc brakes only. What exactly is the difference, and are disc brakes worth the upgrade? Lets dive into those details.
First, the difference between disc and rim brakes can be dramatic. Disc brakes provide better stopping power in all conditions. The Tour De France was won on rim brakes for over 100 years, but you can’t argue against disc brake stopping ability.
The only reason someone should consider rim brakes over disc brakes is if their budget requires it. Riding a rim brake bike is better than riding no bike at all. Also, many dry climates won’t notice much difference between disc and rim brakes. The differences are more noticeable in wet riding conditions.
In conclusion, if you aren’t sure which model of FX is best for you I’d recommend browsing through the details on Trek’s website. Also, you can read this 2022 Trek FX 3 review .

I just bought a Trek FX 2 Disc at Scheels Grand Forks, North Dakota on July 22nd, 2023. They installed cheap brake: RUSH bake system and Cheap tire 700x32c with no name on it into my bike. These components were not as specifications on sale list at Scheels Grand Forks, North Dakota. The bake system should be Tektro HD-R280 and the tires should be Bontrager H2 Comp, 700x35c. First, they said that they will replace the brake and the tire as the specifications on the sale list. Then they call me to come back to the store and told me they only change the tires to the Bontrager H2 Comp, and if I want to change the brake I have to pay for the labor. I really disappointed about this. To my experience, you should check out the component of the Trek bike before you buy it. If you don’t, maybe your Trek bike get a cheap component installed on it.

Review: Trek FX+ 2

If you come to me and say, “I’ve never ridden an electric bike before,” I am probably going to take a few factors into consideration. The first is safety. If you’ve never built a bike, I’m probably not going to recommend a mail-order one you have to assemble yourself. You don’t want to discover that you've failed to tighten a screw when you’re going 20 miles per hour down a hill.
You also probably want a bike that’s reasonably priced, comfortable, and convenient to ride. In fact, you might want one that’s as close to your first human-powered bike as possible. Trek’s FX+ 2 hits all the sweet spots. It’s made by a reputable manufacturer with a wide retailer network. The reasonable base price includes all the commuter components, like integrated lights and fenders. Most importantly, it’s light and maneuverable.
It’s not a 65-pound “starter” ebike that will crush you if you stop on a hill or forget to charge the battery. Nor is it a smart bike that makes you spend 20 minutes walking through an app before you can ride it. I've been testing ebikes at home for years, and this is the first one my 60-year-old dad has felt comfortable grabbing and using to chase after my kids. “Sometimes I don’t even turn it on,” he remarked the other day. That’s the whole point.
The FX+ 2 comes in two configurations and three different sizes. The default model has a regular step-over top tube, and the FX+ 2 Stagger has a step-through top tube. Both come in a variety of colors and have small, medium, and large sizes. I’m 5'2" and the small-size Stagger fits me well. However, if you’re smaller than 5 feet, you might want to look at a different bike.
The cables, battery, and motor are inside the frame. The only clue the FX+ 2 Stagger is an ebike at all is a small unit with only three buttons on it: a power button, and plus and minus symbols. When you turn on the bike, its lights turn on, and two light meters show how much battery you have left and what level of pedal assistance you have toggled on.
That’s it. There’s no bright LCD display and no throttle. This might seem like a downside, but I use my electric bike for commuting and running errands. When I lock it up on a rack, it gives me peace of mind to know that no one’s going to spot a lone ebike in the wild and immediately try to steal it (or the battery).
I also appreciate the clarity in the controls. I’ve tried other electric bikes with a one-button toggle, but I could never remember how many times to press the button to toggle the level of assist, or what light indicated how much battery I had left.
The FX+ 2 has a 250-watt Hydrive rear hub motor, which is the European standard. That might seem slightly underpowered to Americans looking to power up huge hills, but the bike is so light and maneuverable that having a smaller motor doesn’t matter much at all. The medium frame size weighs 40 pounds—almost 30 pounds lighter than my own Tern GSD S00.
Not only is it easy to scootch up hills, it’s also easy to maneuver onto crowded bike racks when I’m out, or to lift onto our hanging bike rack in my garage. Also, for the past two weeks, it’s the first bike both my dad and I have grabbed to run errands around the neighborhood. The stated range is 35 miles, but we’ve put at least 10 miles on it by now, and the battery seems largely untouched. The fast 45c road tires didn’t hurt, either.
It does lack a few features we're used to seeing on higher-end ebikes by now, like a low-maintenance carbon belt drive or a continuously variable shifter. Instead, it has a regular bike chain on a nine-speed Shimano shifting system, with a derailleur that, yes, you may have to adjust occasionally.
But honestly, this was more than fine by me. I didn’t have to learn a new shifting system or figure out how to calibrate the gearing with the assist levels. I wasn’t riding a bike that was trying to predict how much assist I’d need and when—I could simply toggle on more or less as I rode. In that way, it felt much easier and more natural.
It also has a lot of accessories that may be equally important, especially as the weather here in Oregon has grown cold, gray, and wet in the past few weeks. The 120-lumen headlamp is incredibly bright. The bell is incredibly loud. The fenders have kept my jeans relatively dry, and I’ve been able to bungee items onto the rear rack. A kickstand keeps it up in the garage for quick access, and hydraulic disc brakes work even when the rain is pouring down.
The price point may seem high compared to direct-to-consumer bikes from Aventon, Lectric, or Rad Power. But once you start adding up the cost of quality components, labor, and accessories, their prices start inching up. Mail-order companies are able to offer much lower prices on base models because their motors are cheaper. With a nicer motor, a mail-order bike like the Ride1Up Prodigy is priced comparably to the FX+ 2, and you have to assemble and safety-check it yourself.
Over the years, I’ve seen bicycle manufacturers debate and then struggle to add or subtract features that will make electric bikes more attractive to people who haven’t biked before. Extremely low step-throughs! Weird shifting systems! Apps! Huge tires! Maybe the best way to get people on an electric bike is the same way you get people on a regular bike—by making it fun, light, and easy to ride.
Trek FX2 Review: Is It a Good Entry-Level Hybrid Bike To Buy?
- By Daniel Shakibaie
- Hybrid Bike , Trek Bikes
Welcome to my Trek FX2 Review.
The Trek FX2 is a true hybrid bike and one of the bikes I really love and enjoy riding. It’s light and speedy enough to drive in the city, but rugged and durable enough for some light train and even cross-country use. The bike might not be up to all-terrain riding, or harsh technical trails, but its components make it more reliable and useful than the average bike.
Price-wise this is a more affordable bike, and with that comes some compromises in the component quality as well as increasing the weight of the bike. However, it’s nice to see some higher-end components tacked on to a bike in this price range, much more affordable than you’d normally expect.
Things to Consider Before Buying a Hybrid Bike
Hybrid bikes are some of the most popular options for people who want a little bit of everything a good bike has to offer. These models aren’t designed exclusively for urbanites, like your standard road or racing bike, but they also aren’t as heavy or durable as a true mountain bike.
When it comes to hybrid bikes, you really need to pay attention to the model you’re purchasing and its specific strengths. Some Hybrid bikes, like the Trek FX 2, are well-rounded bikes that offer a little bit of everything without necessarily excelling in any particular category.
Other Hybrids lean more toward the road or mountain bike category, with features that are designed for one use over another. A hybrid that leans toward being a mountain bike might offer a more substantial suspension system and more gears for instance, while a leaner lighter hybrid is better designed for road use.
Hybrid bikes are also often marketed toward entry-level cyclists, which means that they don’t always get the high-quality components that more experienced cyclists like to see. That isn’t to say that premium hybrid models don’t exist, there are several options, but entry-level models are more common.
Hybrid bikes can also be more affordable than many other options, which is part of what makes them so popular with entry-level cyclists. That does make it even more important to check the specs before you buy so that you know what you’re getting into.
Features & Benefits
No bike is just the sum of its parts, but you should know those parts before you decide whether or not to buy. This bike really does perform better than many of its specs would lead you to expect, but you should know what components you’re working with and how long they’re likely to last before you buy.
The frame on the Trek FX2 is a fairly standard design for a hybrid bike. It’s made from an aluminum alloy, which keeps the frame more affordable while still offering good durability and a lighter weight class than most steel bikes.
The frame is also internally routed. That’s a nice feature on a highly affordable bike like this since it will help protect the wiring for your brake and shifting system, helping each component last a little longer.
You will also have accessory mounting points, including both front and rear racks, pre-drilled. However, the bike doesn’t come with any of those accessories already installed. That makes customizing the bike easy, but it does mean that you should plan on spending a little more than just the purchase price on the bike before it’s truly ready to ride.
If you don’t intend to add any accessories, this is a good option.
Most impressively, the large frame size on the FX 2 comes in at only 26 lbs. That’s a little heavy on the road bike side, and rather light for a mountain bike, which emphasizes that this bike is meant to do a little bit of everything.
That’s also a particularly low weight rating for a bike as affordable as this one.
Suspension System
The suspension system is one area where this bike doesn’t shine. Mostly because the Trek FX 2 doesn’t have much in the way of suspension. The steel fork does a good job of absorbing impacts and keeping your ride smooth, but it doesn’t have the travel room or even an air buffer to help absorb bigger impacts.
In a hybrid bike, this isn’t too much of a loss. Good wheels and a good saddle will combine well with this steel fork to give you a smooth enough ride on almost any terrain this bike is designed to handle.
Just don’t expect it to feel like you’re floating over the ground when you’re riding this model.

Wheels on this model are also relatively standard options. The rims have a nice double-walled construction and are made from the standard aluminum alloy. That means that they are relatively light and durable, while also being quieter than your average carbon rims.
Similarly, the six-bolt hubs are nothing special and don’t add much in the way of flash on this model. But they get the job done and are durable enough for most hybrid users.
The spokes are also very standard. Durable enough to hold up against light trail use, but without any flash or distinguishing features that could set the wheels apart.
That brings us to the tires. This model very much comes with hybrid tires. They have reasonable tread but are clearly designed more for speed than grip.
If you’re looking for a hybrid that can take you a little further as a mountain bike or cross-country bike, upgrading the tires to a grippier design is a reasonable, and affordable, first step.
More: Trek Dual Sport 2 Review: Is DS2 Worth It?
Trek generally offers a good gear system even on its most affordable entry-level brakes, and we’re pleased to see that the FX 2 is no exception to that trend. While the FX 2 does have a more limited gearing set than many Trek bikes, and even more limited than many hybrid bike models, they are from Shimano.
Shimano is one of the better drivetrain manufacturers, and it’s nice to see a complete Shimano drivetrain, including both front and rear derailleurs, on a bike in this price range.
The 8 gears also give you a fair amount of speed control and flexibility, if not as much as you’d want on a more specialized bike.
That said, the smaller gear count is helpful for many entry-level cyclists since it can help you learn good gearing habits without the complications of a more advanced drivetrain.
With the brakes, we get back to a place where the FX 2 really shines. Most hybrid bikes in this price range are still equipped with a basic level brake.
While lever brakes are perfectly functional, they aren’t as good in wet conditions, and they can be a little more unpredictable than other designs. More importantly, level brakes can come in cheap models that are more likely to give out and need frequent brake pad replacement.
Which explains why Trek went ahead with installing Tektro hydraulic disc brakes on this model. The brakes are more consistent in wet weather, and also offer the stop on a dime control that you want for an urban bike, and especially for a commuter model.
We do recommend getting the brakes tuned up when the bike arrives so that you can get the best possible performance and a longer lifespan. But we have no complaints about this design choice for the FX 2.
Is the Trek 820 Suitable for Beginners Who Want to Try Hybrid Biking?
The Trek 820 is an affordable mountain bike for beginners who want to try hybrid biking. With its durable frame and comfortable design, it is suitable for those starting their biking journey. Its versatility allows riders to navigate different terrains with ease, making it a great choice for beginners seeking an entry-level option in hybrid biking.
Social Proof
Riders of this bike consistently note that the solid frame design and brake set outshine many of the other components. Its performance is solid and very consistent, fast enough for urban use and commuting, durable enough for country roads and some mountain trails.
Experienced cyclists note that the FX 2 just isn’t designed for the kind of riding that they prefer. But for hobbyists and beginner cyclists, the FX 2 is a well-balanced option. Its simpler gearing system and straightforward design make it less intimidating than many more advanced bike designs.
Overall, most users are pleased with this bike, though it has some clear limitations that mean many riders will need an upgrade in only a couple of years.
Alternatives
No bike review would be complete without examining how each model holds up against similar designs. We’ve looked at several of the best comparisons to see how the FX 2 stacks up.
Trek FX2 vs FX3
Naturally, the first comparison we want to look at is the FX 2 vs the newer FX 3. While the FX 3 is more expensive than the FX 2, it has several important component upgrades that most riders agree to make it well worth the price.
Notably, the FX 3 as a slightly better derailleur system. That means that changing gears will be easier on the FX 3, and also has significantly lower chances of jamming or running into other operational problems.
The upgrade to a carbon fork, from the FX 2’s steel fork, is just as important and makes the FX 3 a significantly smoother ride.
Overall, if you’re looking to save money, the FX 2 is still a good option, but the FX 3 offers better performance and may work better as a long-term bike.

Trek FX2 vs Giant Escape 2
The FX 2 and the Escape 2 are incredibly similar bikes despite having different manufacturers. While the FX 2 is a generalized hybrid, the Escape 2 tends toward being more of a commuter model. However, both bikes come in similar sizes, have similar rider feel, and even have the same brake style and manufacturer.
The main difference is that the FX 2 is just a slightly more aggressive, slightly faster model. If you’re looking for more of a conservative commuter bike, the Escape 2 is a better option. But if you’re someone who loves feeling the wind through your hair, the FX 2 will help you go faster and accelerate quicker.
Trek FX2 vs FX1
Looking back in time a little, the FX 1, where still available, is a significantly cheaper model. However, it’s drivetrain is even more limited than the FX 2, and while both bikes have similar frames, the FX 1 is 2 lbs heavier. That two lbs might not sound like much, but it does mean that the bike is much slower when combined with more limited gear systems.
Overall, the FX 2 is a much better value and will work for most cyclists a lot longer than the FX 1. Check our detailed review of Trek FX1 here.
Trek FX2 vs Specialized Sirrus
Another incredibly similar comparison, the Specialized Sirrus is slightly more expensive than the FX 2 and offers a less aggressive rider position with otherwise similar components and similar frame weight.
However, for most riders, the differences between these two bikes, which really are all in the frame and tire set, aren’t worth the increased cost of the Sirrus.
The Specialized Sirrus may be worth the additional cost for riders with back trouble or who are looking for a bike with a significantly less aggressive design. Otherwise, save your wallet and get the same components on the FX 2 frame.
The FX 2 might be an entry-level bike geared more toward beginners than experienced or professional cyclists. Still, it’s a solid design with good geometric principles and good components for the price.
This hybrid bike isn’t designed to do anything perfectly, but it does allow you to do a little bit of everything and to learn and perfect your technique.
Overall, while this is certainly still an affordable entry-level bike, it’s still a solid entry in Trek’s hybrid line.

A lightweight city bike for easy carrying, commuting, and cutting across town. With the FX+ 2, Trek added an internal battery and small rear hub motor to its massively popular FX city bike, which gives its rider a subtle but effective boost for zipping around town. But this e-bike has certainly not lost its soul;
It feels like a traditional bicycle! The FX+ 2 really strives to emulate the feel of a non-electric bike. With its subtle 250W motor and torque sensor, a stripped-down user interface, and the ability to be pedaled easily without motor assistance, the bike stays true to its old-school, urban roots.
It’s incredibly lightweight for an e-bike. At just 40 lbs, the Trek FX+ 2 is easy to lift and carry, and has great acceleration and maneuverability at lower speeds.
The PAS system is optimized for three functional settings, instead of the commonly-seen five levels of assistance. We often find at least one setting to feel pretty ineffective, so it is nice to see all three settings providing a noticeable difference in input here.
The bike comes equipped for commuting right away, with an integrated rear cargo rack, headlight, taillight, and fenders.
It’s super stealthy! The FX+ 2’s rear hub motor is the only thing giving any indication that this is an e-bike, and even that is whisper quiet.
A functional app with motor customization! The FX+ 2’s HyDrive motor pairs with the Hyena Rider Assistant app for ride and data tracking, visible metrics, and the ability to tune the output of the motor in each PAS setting.
Reliability and peace of mind. As a Trek product, the FX+ 2 benefits from the engineering and experience of a well-established brand. It also comes outfitted with a full scope of trustworthy components.
Trek offers the FX+2 in a huge variety of frame sizes and colors, allowing for a significant degree of customization for a wide spectrum of people. The high-step version has four frame sizes and three colors (including the flashy Viper Red), while the step-thru (or Stagger) model comes in three sizes and three colors.
The LED indicator on the left handlebar fits the overall aesthetic and soul of the bike, but we’d love to see a small, simple LCD display for accessible ride data without the need for a phone.
The FX+ 2’s fully internal battery also continues the theme of the bike, but makes charging a bit more complicated. More importantly, the sealed frame will make replacing the battery difficult when it eventually stops functioning – only Trek dealers can perform the service.

An affordable, quiet, light weight, feature complete electric bicycle. Available in three frame sizes and three premium colors. Assembled and serviced by one of the largest bicycle networks in North America, it comes with a two year comprehensive warranty with lifetime frame warranty.
The mid-step frame design is approachable, easy to step over, but also sturdy and light. They provided space to mount a bottle cage or other accessory on the downtube! Very clean integrated cables and wires. Excellent 9-speed drivetrain with wide 11-36 tooth cassette.
Decent 160mm hydraulic disc brakes are easy to actuate. The 700x40c tires are efficient and include reflective sidewalls for safety. Integrated front and rear lights are positioned well. Plastic fenders keep you dry and clean. The rear rack offers great weight capacity at 25kg or 55lbs.
Lower than average 250wh battery capacity and 250 watt motor pair nicely for an efficient ride, but aren't as strong or long lasting. The torque and cadence sensor aren't as instant as I was hoping for. The battery cannot easily be removed for storage and charging, so you need to park near a plug.

KEY TAKEAWAY
Trek FX and FX Sport are ideal hybrid bikes for commuting and maintaining your fitness, thanks to their sporty geometry. They also have smooth tires, so you will be fast on paved roads. However, they can handle light terrain as well. On the other hand, they are still slower and heavier than the Trek Madone or Émonda and less versatile than the Trek Dual Sport .
Trek FX 1 vs. 2 vs. 3 and FX Sport 4 vs. 5 vs. 6
The following table summarizes the main differences between all FXs and FXs Sport, Trek’s hybrid bike families .
FX (Sport) Pros & Cons Summary
I summarized the pros & cons of the FX (Sport) series below.
FX (Sport) Pros
- Relaxed geometry for a comfortable ride
- Suitable for a wide range of terrains
- Aluminum or carbon frame
- Availability in multiple sizes and colors
- Pedals included
- Compatible with racks, kickstands, etc.
- Compatible with DuoTrap S sensor

FX (Sport) Cons
- Some bikes have a narrow gear range
- Some models don’t come with tubeless-ready wheels or tires
- No suspension (can be a pro due to the lower weight)
Also available as a step-through
FX Main Features
Let me now explain the most important features of the Trek FX and FX Sport bikes and compare these two families.
Frame and Geometry
All FX bikes come with an aluminum frame , available in XS-XXL sizes , but with forks made of different materials – steel, aluminum, or carbon.
FX Sport bikes have a high-end carbon frame with a carbon fork , resulting in lower weight and better riding comfort due to carbon’s ability to absorb road vibrations.
Their geometry also differs slightly. Despite the name suggesting a more performance-oriented geometry, the FX Sport is surprisingly more relaxed , allowing you to sit more upright.
The geometry of both FX families is relaxed enough for less flexible riders and those who prefer comfort over the speed that comes from a more aggressive, and therefore more aerodynamic, stance.
Finally, it is important to add that FX bikes are also available in a step-through version suitable for women. FX Sport bikes are not.
Wheels and Tires
The wheel size on FX bikes is the same as on most hybrid bikes – 700c – but with wider tires than those used on road bikes, ranging from 32 to 40mm. The tire clearance is up to 45mm.
The tires have a pattern to provide increased traction on light gravel or dirt roads but are not suitable for demanding terrain like mountain bike tires.
Remember that some models have tubeless-ready wheels but don’t come with tubeless-ready tires , so you may need to swap them later if you want.
Also, the higher-end the bike, the better the wheels. For example, the Trek FX Sport 6 has carbon Bontrager wheels that are lighter, stiffer, and a bit faster than the aluminum ones.
While the FX family offers a wider range of gears thanks to 2X and 3X drivetrains, the FX Sport has a narrower gear range due to the 1X drivetrains.
1X drivetrains are popular because they are easy to maintain and shift and lighter than 2X or 3X groupsets.
However, their disadvantage is a smaller gear range. So, depending on the terrain you often want to ride, you may occasionally miss some gears. On the other hand, you don’t have to worry about cross-chaining.
Although the FX series offers entry-level models with rim brakes (which are also a bit cheaper), the industry’s pressure has pushed for disc brakes.
Disc brakes are more effective, especially in the rain, as they do not lose their braking power. The debate between supporters and opponents of disc and rim brakes seems endless.
All FX bikes, except for one model, use hydraulic disc brakes . Check out this article for the differences between mechanical and hydraulic disc brakes .
Since hybrid bikes often don’t require as much braking power as mountain bikes, you can rely on sufficient stopping power for all the used brakes.
Another difference between FX and FX Sport is cable routing . On Trek FX , it is partially integrated , while on FX Sport , it is almost completely integrated , including the area around the handlebars, simplifying and improving the overall appearance.
All FX and FX Sport bikes are compatible with the DuoTrap S sensor , sold separately, which measures your speed, distance, and more. You can pair it with a speedometer or bike computer.
FX frames have mounts for kickstands and racks , making it easy to install these accessories. You can also leverage the Blendr stem to easily attach compatible accessories from the Trek/Bontrager ecosystem.
Lastly, most FX bikes come with slip-on grips , while all FX Sport models have lock-on grips that are easier to install and replace than slip-on grips. FX Sport bikes also use better IsoZone grips that are more comfortable and alleviate the pressure on your hands.
So, which bike should you choose, Trek FX or Trek FX Sport? And which bike from each family is the best?
If you’re on a tighter budget and looking for an affordable bike for commuting and leisure riding, then go for Trek FX. These bikes are mostly sufficient for beginners.
Trek FX Sport bikes are more expensive due to their carbon frames, which result in much lower weight. They resemble road bikes with flat handlebars and are suitable for those looking for a lightweight and comfortable hybrid bike. Just remember that their gear range is more limited.
I believe the FX 2 Disc provides the best value for the money from the FX family. First, you avoid an obsolete 3X drivetrain on the FX 1 Disc . Then, you get hydraulic disc brakes, significant weight reduction, and better components. While the price difference between the FX 2 and FX 3 is relatively large, the added value is not as significant.
The best bike from the Trek FX Sport family is the mid-range FX Sport 5 Disc, as it uses a simple 1X drivetrain and is much lighter than the FX Sport 4.
While the Trek FX Sport 6 is much lighter, mainly due to the carbon wheels, it is also much more expensive.
Trek FX FAQ
Trek FX bikes are designed for riders who seek a versatile bike that can handle a variety of terrains and riding styles, from commuting to fitness rides and from paved roads to light off-road. These hybrid bikes are comfortable and reliable and offer a balance between the speed of road bikes and the versatility of mountain bikes. With many models available, Trek FX and FX Sport bikes are suitable for riders of all levels, from beginners to experienced cyclists.
The main difference between Trek FX and Trek FX Sport is the frame. FX bikes have an aluminum frame with a fork made from different materials depending on the range. In contrast, FX Sport bikes have an aerodynamically shaped carbon frame that resembles modern road bikes. FX bikes offer a wider gear range but can be more complex when it comes to shifting. Most FX Sport bikes leverage 1X shifting for weight reduction and easier shifting. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly bike and don’t prioritize performance, you should consider buying a Trek FX. However, if you want a lightweight hybrid bike and don’t mind spending more money, then the Trek FX Sport is more suitable for you.
The Trek FX and Trek Verve bikes differ in their frame geometry. The Trek FX has a relaxed yet more aggressive geometry, making it great for maintaining fitness and riding longer distances. On the other hand, the Trek Verve is more suited for riding in the city. It has an upright riding position that gives you better visibility, particularly in traffic. Additionally, Verve bikes come with a suspension seatpost to increase your riding comfort. They also offer better maneuverability.
The Trek FX and Trek Verve bikes have different frame geometry, suspension, and tires. The Trek FX has a more relaxed geometry compared to the Dual Sport. Dual Sport bikes are similar to mountain bikes but not as extreme. They have front suspension with short travel and wide tires that make them better suited for off-road riding and rough terrain.

Thanks for the article, I’m trying to decide on a new hybrid and I have my eye on an FX 3 Disc or FX Sport 4. Unfortunately at least one of your specs is inaccurate for both of these bikes – both have a 1×10 drivetrain, instead of a 2×10 which you have in the table, while you specifically call out the 2x and 3x drivetrains as a benefit of the FX series. I am hesitant about the more limited range but I do like the simplicity and weight savings, and it does seem to be where things are headed anyway.
Hi Anne, Thanks for noticing that. I fixed the info. I would say that the gear range also depends on the area you live in. If you have a lot of hills and climbs there, a wider gear range might be more useful. But the simplicity of shifting can overweigh. I know many recreational riders who don’t use their entire gear range, so 1X groupsets should be enough for them. I hope this helps. 🙂 – Petr
Thank you for the informative comparison. I’ve been going back and forth between the FX Sport 5 and 6. The 6 is more appealing but seemingly the only difference is the wheels and I’m not sure it’s worth the up-charge.
The wildcard is the Specialized Sirrus 6.0. As I believe it’s been discontinued, it’s now marked down to $2,250 from the original $3K msrp. How would you compare this to the FX Sports? Unfortunately I’m unable to find one close enough to test ride but have found some that can be shipped.
Hi David, Apologies for my late reply. Yeah, the price difference is pretty big considering the only major change are the wheels. I honestly don’t like the Sirrus 6.0 design. But the truth is most of these bikes from Western brands are basically the same in terms of quality. Keep in mind that the Sirrus has SRAM, not Shimano. That can be a deal breaker for some (some prefer Shimano, some SRAM). I hope it helps. – Petr

It was quite easy to ride unassisted on flat land. 45 minutes away is a Gazelle T10+ — about 12lbs. heavier, but it felt great biking around the parking lot. Not sure how it feels at full speed. My daily commute is a bit hilly, but I was able to test the Trek on similar hills and it was fine.

I've recently decided to commute to work via bike - it is 10 miles one way, so 20 miles each day, but it is relatively flat. I have been looking at a couple of bikes and pretty much have boiled it down to the Trek FX 2 or FX3. I have done some research and many seem to be in favour of the FX3 due to better parts (carbon fork, better shifters etc.).

A lightweight city bike for easy carrying, commuting, and cutting across town. With the FX+ 2, Trek added an internal battery and small rear hub motor to its massively popular FX city bike, which gives its rider a subtle but effective boost for zipping around town. But this e-bike has certainly not lost its soul;
The FX 2 is a great bike! This is a 2019 non-disc model which was $540 new (US), so it's not a huge price drop but not unreasonable if everything is fully functional. I'd probably try to go a little lower given how the whole frame is pockmarked with tiny scratches, it doesn't look great but it's most likely just cosmetic.
Buy FX 3 Disc. Also available as a step-through. The best bike from the Trek FX Sport family is the mid-range FX Sport 5 Disc, as it uses a simple 1X drivetrain and is much lighter than the FX Sport 4. While the Trek FX Sport 6 is much lighter, mainly due to the carbon wheels, it is also much more expensive.
