Trek 7.5 FX Hybrid Bike

• USER REVIEWS

Great handling and looks very nice.

Spokes are breaking. Pedals have bad bearings.

Since 3 months I'm owner of the Trek FX 7.5 model 2012. I've ridden it for 3000 km, mostly commuting. I like the bike a lot but there are some serious quality issues. The bearings on both pedals wore out after 2000km, and now I have the 3rd broken spoke in the Bontrager rear wheel. They always break near the rim on the left side of the hub. My driving style is rather calm and I'm not the kind of person that always has things breaking down. This really spoils the fun of driving this bike.

The Trek 7.5 is more cycle cross bike than hybrid. It's fast and can handle dirt trails

Some gear ratios are more favorable for a mountain bike.

I was looking for a fast, comfortable winter bike. The professionals at Cyclesport, recommended the Trek 7.5. The 7.5 measures up to everything I was expecting. Fast, responsive and still able to safely handle the cinder/dirt trails along New York's Hudson River parks.

Comfortable ride. Respectable components. Versatility. Good for everything but the extremes.

For the 2008 7.5 FX, the wheelset may be the only shortfall. I have broken two spokes in around 9,500 miles and do not think I am too hard on my bikes. However, I was able to finish my rides with only minor wheel wobble. Fortunately, you are unlikely to see this wheelset since it does not appear that Trek uses it any longer. I do not consider the stock saddle a "weakness" since I have never had a stock saddle that was comfortable at distance.

I am reviewing the 2008 FX 7.5. I began riding this bike in early January of 2008. I use this bike for commuting and short, light touring. I believe the FX series without carbon fork could be used for loaded touring but that may be pushing it. I purchased this bike because my road bike had limited tire capacity and was not very stable for commuting. The FX will take at least a 34 mm tire, probably larger without fenders. Mine has fenders, flat pedals, Brooks saddle, and bar ends. This bike is an excellent all-rounder. I use the bike for commuting to work, running errands, doing fitness rides, and touring on paved and unpaved rail-trails. I also rode this bike on the 2008 Cycle North Carolina "Mountains-to-the-Sea" ride, a supported 450+ mile tour. I have over 9,000 miles on mine and am currently breaking in my third cassette. Although called a hybrid, the ride position is somewhat like a mountain bike, depending on how you pick your size (I recommend going with the largest frame you are comfortable with). I think instead of calling it a flat bar road bike or performance hybrid, "flat bar cross bike" would be closer to the mark.

Road bikes and "sport touring" bikes from Schwinn, Fuji, and Bianchi.

She's sleek, fast, nimble and responsive! Oh, and I love the color combo. Very attractive! Good for the commuter and recreational rider on a variety of surfaces.

Higher price point, crappy stock saddle.

I love this bike! Let me say it again: I LOVE THIS BIKE! The 7.5FX was the best hybrid we found on the market at the time we were shopping. Most hybrids we looked at had more in common with mountain bikes – front fork shocks, fat tires, mountain bike geometry, etc. Trek really appeals to those of us who love the road bike feel and geometry with the FX series. This one is definitely more road than mountain in ride, handling, and responsiveness. I love the way it rides – it’s light and strong and very fast! Not quite as fast as my old 10-speed racer, but fast enough for me to commute 10 miles each way comfortably. I tend to average around 15mph on the street and pretty much live in the higher gears for speed since I ride with traffic with long stretches between stops. The shifters are smooth and responsive. We needed to tweak it a little after the first few months of riding, which is to be expected. But since then, shifting is easy and quiet. I like the gear ratios and it works well for my moderately powerful cadence. I am 5’9” and don’t use clips but I can still maintain my speed without over exerting myself. Braking is responsive and easy. I tend to down shift prior to braking when I can anticipate and this method works for me very well. I’ve never had any issue with my braking or gears. They are great for my commuting needs and the occasional weekend recreational ride on the canals around the South East Valley. I also like the straight handlebars. The spread is just right for my 5’9” frame. The grips are just okay, though, and could stand upgrading. I am thinking about getting perpendicular grips that will keep my wrists straight as I find I now have a bit of carpel tunnel from too much time at a desk job. My 10-speed had drop handle bars and I never had any issues since I would often grip the corners, not the top or the drops. The pedals are fine; like I said before, I don’t ride with clips and these are adequate for me and my walking shoes and heels. They do grip treads nicely when I’m wearing running or hiking shoes, I have to say. The wheels are nice – they are nicely balanced and attractive. I love the look with the fewer spokes and dark metal! It’s very sleek with the silvery-blue-grey colored frame. I did replace the saddle; I ride with a Terry Butterfly (in black) for comfort. The saddle that came with the bike was brutal – not just for my female anatomy, but also my husband. He said he experienced numbness very quickly, even with padded bike shorts, which I don't ever bother with since I just bike in my work clothes. I think this bike is definitely geared towards a person who prefers a road bike feel over the squishy mountain bike easy ride. Commuters will be happy with its lightness, speed, and stability. The gears are responsive and reliable. Braking is fast and reliable. Overall, the bike as built is worth the price. My husband has the 7.3FX and he likes his bike, but says mine is the faster of the two – definitely worth the extra $200. All in all, I LOVE THIS BIKE! I hope it lasts for years and years.

My husband rides the 7.3FX for commuting and the 7.5 is lighter and faster(prettier, too!). Also, my previous commuting bike was a 10-speed racer and while the FX isn't quite as fast, it is more versatile and easier to ride for recreation.

Light and fast

Poor brakes Horrible Saddle Excesive viration on anything other than smooth asphalt

After ridig my $179 BD cheapy for 4 years I felt it was time for an upgrade.I went with the 2010 Trek FX 7.5 after testing several brands available localy and researching on line. Got it home and discoverred it did not have the saddle highlighted in add. Trek's answer to my inquirey was "this is a rolling spec". The H2 flex form with vibration dampenning is no longer available. My dealer might help me out but Trek couldn't care less! I got better service from Bikes Direct

Bikes Direct Gravity Amsterdam

Affordable and comfort

components - but if you're caught up on high-end parts you're not going to look at this price range anyway. The bike is under $900! Buy better components when you need to replace something...

I bought two of these bikes; a 2009 ($800)for the spouse and a 2010 ($839) for me. Black and Red looks so much better than the Nickle used in 09. I have been riding this bike for a few months now and love it. It is a very versatile bike, but not as fast as my road bike even though I can comfortably reach speeds around 17-22 mph on flat ground in and around town. I use the bike for commuting and general hopping around town. In short, this bike is comfortable, quick, and looks great. I had the normal problems with the cables stretching and the brake pads collecting metal. It is normal for this to happen with any new bike or wheel set. LBS fixed these problems every time and on both bikes. I have around 650 miles on them now. If you are looking for a bike to either get you out on the road and take off the extra pounds you put on this last year or your looking for an all-around commuter, this is your bike.

None. Tested 7.1, 7.2, 7100, 7200, 7300, and Specialized Sirrus.

Lighter weight makes for spritely handling. Carbon fork allows for some vibration damping. Tires have lasted fine so far. The 32's are lots of cushion to support my girth (but I'll be trying some 28s.

Broken spoke from (I think) my heavy loads. Has needed frequent deraileur adjustment.

I've got the 2009 7.5 fx. 1500 miles in the last 6mos commuting to work and back and just goofing around. I have a rack and planetbike fenders mounted and use panniers as a part of my commute. Not being light (225 lbs) and with luggage, I broke a spoke recently. I had some new wheels made up at lbs (36 spokes) and light rims. I use the other wheels with studded tires (nokian a10s) for the freezing fog days. All in all I'm very happy with the bike, but occasionally wish for drop bars. Quite quick for a hybrid and fairly durable. I've gone on several 2-3 hour rides and the anatomic saddle works fairly well, but I am still happy to dismount afterword.

Cannondale hardtail mtb. 1999 model

Easy to handle, light weight makes it easy to enjoy long rides like a road bike.

The paint is a matte silver. Looks nice, but it's very easy to damage the paint compared to a tradition finish.

This has become my main bike. I used to primarily ride my Trek 5000 or Schwinn Cruiser. This bike has the comfort close to the cruiser and most of the speed of the road bike.

None noted for my uses.

I actually have the 2009 7.5 FX. Great bike overall. Fast, light weight. Comfortable to ride in. Check out my 7.5 FX at: http://timsadventures.com/2009/04/25/my-trek-75-fx-208221-hybrid-fitness-bike/

awesome for commuters or rec users who want to have the "kit" and not cheap stuff but look the part.

none, price?

I was using this very forum to find my next commuter bike. I really like the Trek 7.3 and 7.5 but was a catch for me. The 7.3 was too cheap in components and the 7.5 was too steep in price for a recreational user. I ended up buying a Felt Speed 33. It seemed to be the halfway point between the two Trek models. I dont think the 7.3 is a good bet based on the components and I loved the 7.5 but I was having a hard time with the price. I recommend paying the extra for the 7.5 over the 7.3 big time.

Trek 7.5 FX Disc review

A great all-rounder for the city with style and practicality.

Robert Smith

cara coolbaugh

Trek's 7.5 FX Disc offers dependable handling, great stopping power from its disc brakes, a well-thought-out spec and a touch of panache.

Behind their Tour de France road frame glamour, Trek have been quietly building up a roster of individual, elegant and well-considered urban bikes.

We loved the cyclo-cross-derived Portland last year, and the stylish, single-chainring Soho (complete with coffee flask) caught our eye too. The 7.5 FX Disc is one in a range of flat bar city bikes, and includes both front and rear rack mounts should the daily ride to work extend to a weekend tour or more.

Trek's 7.5 FX shares its frame with several others in the range, including the non-disc version that goes for £50 less. It boasts an elegant profile, with a curved, tapering down-tube and a pearlescent, silvery finish. Both the frame and the straight bladed fork feature rack and mudguard mounts - a practical touch we welcome on city bikes. The rack bosses at the stays are even spaced out for running a hydraulic disc calliper.

Unfortunately, Avid's chunky mechanical BB5s get in the way, so you'll need a specialist rack such as Topeak's Super Tourist DX F/Disk (www.extrauk.co.uk, £33) or Madison's Ridge (www.ultimatepursuits.co.uk, £24.99). It's a shame the mount isn't tucked away between the stays, which would allow you to run a conventional rack. Tyre clearances are very generous - the frame and fork can accommodate a cyclo-cross tyre for some fireroad action. We ran our favourite summer road and dirt tyres, Halo 38c Twin Rails (www. ison-distribution.com, £12.99), with lots of room to spare.

We're big fans of the Avid mechanical disc brakes on the Trek, and while the BB5s aren't quite as adjustable as the BB7s - only one pad can be brought in and out - performance is superb, both in the wet and dry. They're easy to set up and low in maintenance. All this means loads of confidence to ride whatever the weather, and a saving on rim wear too.

There's a triple up front to extend your horizons out of the city, with a tight 11/26 cluster at the back underlining the Trek's road credentials. If you do end up touring, we'd recommend upping it to an 11/32 or so. Deore shifters are simple and reliable, teamed with a Deore front mech and a Tiagra mech at the back.

Elsewhere, Bontrager parts provide matching finishing kit with a gentle riser bar, a relatively long stem, ergo-shaped grips and a comfortable perch.

Trek have a range of 700c disc wheels courtesy of Bontrager. The 7.5 comes with 32-spoke rims built up with plain gauge spokes. Shimano hubs are easy to service with their cup and cone bearings, though these lack the protective rubber sleeve of higher-end mountain bike ones. We've found the 32c Racelites to be comfortable tyres in the past, with decent puncture resistance, but have noticed they lack grip in the wet. The 32-spoke three-cross spoke pattern should ensure they're up to some load-carrying too, which makes them a versatile set of wheels.

The 7.5 FX Disc 's ride position is ideal for all-day outings in comfort, with the fork steerer left generously long. Ride it back-to-back with a lighter machine such as the Genesis Day 03 and you notice the heft, but you also notice you have 250 quid still in your bank account.

Disc brakes provide superb stopping power, even if they're partly to blame for that extra weight. Given the lack of carbon, 32mm tyres go some way to smoothing out the ride, although the straight bladed fork still feels stiff. Steering is slower than some but all the more stable and confident for it - this bike feels like it will safely get you around come sunshine or snowfall, with or without panniers.

It's versatile too, and with those clearances would be perfect for riding a weekend Sustrans route, such as the W2W or Hadrian's Wall.

The Trek is a rounded machine, even if it feels slower than lighter, racier flat-bar bikes. It scores highly both in the practicality and looks departments. Its handling is well balanced, the all-weather braking is superb and it's suited to weekend mixed-surface tours too. Add plenty of panache and it's a great formula.

When cycling always take safety very seriously. Wear a helmet, obey the traffic rules and wear hi-vis clothes. In short, take care of yourself so others can take care of you.

General Road bikes average price

Our math shows that the average cost of a dependable General Road bike is 1915 $ . However, even though the average price of a General Road bike is lower, you might still be able to get a top-quality bike. In short, before purchasing your ideal bike do some research about its components, and also check for reviews online.

Overview of components

Fork material.

When it comes to the fork, this bike has a carbon one, so, it is super light and stiff. In conclusion, a carbon fork gives you great control when steering, and is also more forgiving.

As for the wheels, Trek 7.5 FX 2008, has a 700c aluminum model. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.

For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek 7.5 FX has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they have problems in wet conditions.

• 7.5 FX Women's

Latest news, reviews and features for women who like to ride.

Urban bikes, trek 7.5 fx wsd bike review, looking for a sturdy steed in the cycle to work scheme budget, the trek 7.5 fx wsd could just be the ticket..

The Trek 7.5 FX WSD (Women’s Specific Design) is a hybrid bike with flat handlebars and road bike features designed for fitness cycling.  

Is it a “Jack of all trades” or a “Master of none”? The Reluctant Cyclist puts the Trek through its paces.  

Trek offer 6 women’s specific designs in their FX range. The Trek 7.5 FX WSD sits just below the top of the range model, incorporating more road bike features than the lower numbered models. I’m not quite sure what Trek mean by ‘fitness cycling’, but if it’s not racing, mountain biking or commuting I guess it is fitness cycling.

The frame comes in a fetching teal colour with white trim and pedals. The women’s specific design is halfway between a step-through frame and a traditional men’s toptube and the overall geometry is more reflective of a woman’s stature. It is available in three sizes (15”, 17” and 19”) to cater for all heights.  

The riser bar and flat handlebars provide a fairly upright riding position, but by no means sit up and beg, which works well for commuter and city cycling.  The bike doesn’t come with mudguards or pannier rack, but there are fixtures to enable these to be fitted after purchase.  To use the Trek 7.5 FX WSD as a commuter bike these would be a necessity and would add another £75 or so to the £750 purchase price.

Although saddles are always very personal, reviewers on Trek’s own site comment that the Bontrager Evoke 1 women’s saddle doesn’t offer a high degree of comfort and I would concur with this.  Also, being white, it quickly discoloured when wearing jeans. However, this is easy to remedy, by either buying a new saddle of swapping your old one in.

The ergonomic handgrips provided a high degree of comfort on longer rides. Other comfort features include a vibration damping carbon front fork and ‘Isozone monostay’, which cuts vibration between the back wheel and the saddle.  These combine with the handgrips to minimise the road ‘buzz’ and they certainly gave a smooth ride over most tarmac and paths.

There are two front chain rings and nine gears on each ring, which gave good coverage for the flat and small hills.  I would have liked to see a third (triple) chain ring to take the bike out into hillier territory.  If you’re set to cycle predominately over hilly terrain, this may not be the bike for you.

The brake and gear levers moved easily and were well placed for my average sized hands. The remaining components were also of a high quality and were chosen with weight and compactness in mind.  The rim brakes worked well in the wet and the dry and I never felt unsafe or unstable.

I didn’t test the wheels over glass shards so I can’t vouch for the puncture resistant tyres but riding over canal towpaths, city and country roads and in the park I encountered no problems.

The bike freewheeled easily, and I often found myself cruising along without needing to pedal while others had to put in effort. On short ‘to the shops’ rides the Trek 7.5 FX WSD, due to being lightweight was very nippy and easy to manoeuvre around the city. On longer rides of over an hour the upright position and ergonomics gave a comfortable ride, which often felt like I did not have to work hard for the speeds I was achieving.

The ride quality was so high that I genuinely wanted to take the Trek out instead of riding (or driving) anything else.  High praise indeed!

The Trek 7.5 FX WSD is very nippy and combines some high quality components with a well-fitting frame to produce a go (nearly) anywhere bike, which is comfortable to ride.

– Responsive and manoeuvrable – Not ‘girly’ but girl-friendly – Mid upright riding position suits around town biking

– A triple chainset would have made hills easier – No chainguard, which means you have to be careful with what you wear

Price: £750 Sizes available:  15, 17, 19″ More information:   Trek UK Distributor: Trek
