Is Trek FX3 A Good Bike? [Trek FX3 Review]

Table of Contents

In this review, we examine the Trek FX 3 Disc utility hybrid bike.

Trek FX 3 Disc
Trek FX3 Price: $1,049.99
Frame: Aluminum
Tires: 700c×32c

What we like:

1. Versatile hybrid bikes built for performance, and comfort. Great quality bike for long distances on commuter roads, sidewalks or rail trails.
2. Easy and convenient shifting, not only for commuter riding, but also the perfect fitness companion on sidewalks and railroad trails.
3. Multifunctional Hybrid Bike.
4. Designed for performance, comfort, and practicality.
5. Great-looking, versatile, comfortable bikes built with quality parts to work on longer rides.

What we don’t like about it: 1. The 32c tire size is a bit of a hindrance for beginners to ride, but if you have the skills to ride it, it will go faster. 2. I found the saddle to be a bit stiff, the middle gap was missing, and the ventilation was poor.

Rating (4.7/5)

The newly upgraded Trek FX 3 Disc is one of the top choices for fitness enthusiasts and not just for commuter riders.

Despite the hybrid bike’s purpose of perimeter riding, we have tested it in rough terrain for 2 months and are always surprised at the results.

The Trek FX 3, which focuses on commuting performance, has a wider range of uses in terms of body weight and reasonable geometric design. Of course, my favorite is the 32c tire, which has been improved in terms of riding stability and comfort. Perfect balance.

Below is our detailed review of the Trek FX 3 Disc’s key road-riding and gravel features, components, and specs, as well as other editions in the range.

If you’re interested in the Trek FX series, we’ve also prepared a Trek FX 2 review for you.

Road Riding

If you’re looking for a mixed-terrain bike and really enjoy riding in the seat, check out our review of the FX3. Our testers reviewed the FX3 by riding it on the road, pavement, and more.

According to our review, the FX3’s steeper seat tube angle (74°) keeps you upright and more comfortable when you’re riding.

If there is one downside that must be found, it is the lack of a dropper post, which can lead to more noticeable bumps in the face of rough roads with potholes, but at the same time, the 6.8Trail will make your steering more stable.

Let’s take a look at the FX3 tires, the 32c slender tires, what kind of experience will it bring to you?

During the two months of testing, I felt the wind brushing my ears. Of course, this has a lot to do with its lightweight body, but its 32c tires also play a role that cannot be ignored.

Although there is a certain gap with professional road bikes in terms of speed, its speed in the same type (such as FX2) will satisfy me.

Based on the interest of many cycling enthusiasts, we also specially went to the wet and muddy road for testing during the riding test. We thought it would be a great challenge.

Unexpectedly, the hydraulic disc of FX3 played its role to the extreme. Great effect, showing extremely stable characteristics in braking.

As we all know, in fast riding, shifting is an issue we have to consider. The 1×10 transmission system of the FX3 means more functions and easier shifting, which allows us to have a more concise shifting experience during riding.

In conclusion, on smooth and less technical roads, we think the Trek FX3 is adequate.

In this review, we came to the relatively flat gravel trails, and the gravel of the road surface made us a little worried about the various performances of the FX3. Surprisingly, the FX3’s overall light body gave our testers great control over some big obstacles.

If you want to show off your riding skills in such terrain, the FX3’s tight chainstay length allows you to lift the front half of it with ease (our testers also experimented with it).

Although I live in a remote place, because I love cycling, even though the road has a very difficult country trail for me at the beginning, I still ride my bike to work (after all, it is very environmentally friendly) .

As soon as I started trying to get into the saddle and start up, I experienced that it wasn’t too slow, and the FX3 Shimano RT26’s hydraulic disc brakes were steady and fast on those slippery muddy trails Open your mouth wide.

But when facing the lip of the road, I expected too much from it (because of previous performance), in fact, I should have thought about it, the compact body, and the thinner tires may not be very good in this regard good at.

Based on my own personal experience and testing, the FX3’s solid performance on flat gravel and country trails, and its ability to adapt, we applaud the car.

Main Feature

At the beginning of the test, I even had an illusion that the FX3 and FX2 have more similarities, so during the road test, I just felt that the comfort has improved a little, and I feel that it is not worth it for his submitted price.

But once we got into the gravel roads, we were more impressed by the Trek FX 3’s geometry and lighter frame.

Speaking of the FX3, I have an oolong and I almost mistook the FX3 for the FX2 because the frames are all aluminum and they have a more or less streamlined design.

In terms of color, the FX3 has a Matte Dnister Black. Some people think that Matte Dnister Black looks dark gray in the official picture, but it may actually be pitch black.

The black branding blends in with the background so much that the Trek letters are unrecognizable, and the overall look is a bit bland. In fact, FX3 also has the color Alpine Blue to Deep Dark Blue Fade.

Personally, I prefer to choose Alpine Blue to Deep Dark Blue Fade, because the gradient color makes it look more mysterious.

Let’s take a closer look. The FX3 has a built-in mount. If you need to travel, you must bring your camping equipment. This user-friendly design brings you convenience.

In addition, it has two water bottle mounting holes, so that you will not be interrupted by lack of moisture during the ride.

The overall FX3’s internal cabling design gives us the impression it’s clean and tidy, and it’s easier to keep it clean.

The FX3 is a hybrid bike built for comfort and utility, so its geometry is relatively fixed among comfort-focused bikes. However, the Fork used by the FX3 is the FX Carbon, which is lighter in weight.

Jumping up to the FX3’s head angle (71.5°), I also had my own experience that this steeper head angle made my ride on flat terrain feel sharper (probably my illusion).

If you are a rider who is more concerned with riding comfortably.

We found that the FX3’s Effective top tub, the relatively compact Effective top tub, can flex the arms for riders with longer arms, which is not good for long rides.

So look carefully at the size chart when choosing an FX3 to choose a bike that fits your body.

Not only that, the looser seat tube angle allows our testers to easily maintain an upright ride while riding, which appeals to me.

In addition, we also measured the length of the Chainstay length of the FX3, the compact Chainstay length of the FX3 (45cm), this does not have much effect on short uphill, but the long uphill road will cause some obstacles, of course, in my opinion, More than 90% of commuter roads do not have such troubles.

Trek FX3 Components and Specifications

Shimano deore drivetrain.

When we look at the Shimano Deore 1×10 drivetrain, one might think it doesn’t have the wide speed range of the FX2, but we have to mention that it reduces messy shifting by ditching the front derailleur, allowing the FX3 Shifting is easier to operate.

I personally think it’s a laudable improvement for those who use it for commuting and fitness.

Compared with the 1X11 drivetrain, the Trek FX2’s 1X10 drivetrain, with a maximum sprocket of 46 teeth, has some impact on the transmission efficiency, so in the eyes of the rider who wants the hybrid bike to ride faster, this is a component that needs to be lifted.

The daily commuter rider didn’t mind the 1X10 drivetrain and thought it was a very reasonable drivetrain configuration. Of course, given its intended use, we also consider it an excellent component for the price of the Trek FX2.

While one might think the 11-46 cassette would be a bit difficult for long climbs, on a daily commute it probably won’t be that much, so I guess it’s irrelevant.

While I’m happy with the FX3 drivetrain, it would have been better if it could be increased to 1×11, or a little more.

Shimano RT26 Hydraulic Disc Brake

Equally important is the bike’s braking equipment, this FX3 uses Shimano RT26 hydraulic disc brakes. It may not seem advanced now, but at this price, the Shimano RT26 is second to none.

We spent at least two days testing the effectiveness of Shimano RT26 hydraulic disc brakes, because in our opinion, good brakes guarantee adequate stopping power in any situation.

As the more advanced hydraulic brakes out there, the Trek FX 3 uses a Shimano RT26, which isn’t a very good component. But since it’s on a $1,000 budget, it’s an option you can’t go wrong with.

On a slippery rainy day, when the speed increased to 35Km/h, the road braking distance was only extended by 40%, and we were satisfied with the result.

Of course, the most difficult thing is that under full load, due to gravity, it can also provide sufficient braking force, which undoubtedly makes us believe that it can be a touring bike.

The difficulty of adjustment is also very low. We check the manual of the bicycle and simply turn the adjustment screw, which is not a very difficult task.

Therefore, in terms of braking, the FX3 is not only sensitive in braking response, but also extremely simple in operation. We think it is a bike of the same type and with similar price braking that is more prominent.

Tires and Wheels

The 700c×32c tires on this FX3 bike are fast on the pavement and are also great for long or short rides on city trails and light gravel.

It’s worth noting that the FX3 uses a Bontrager H2 Comp, which is a tubeless tire. So it is relatively heavy. But its 30tpi makes it softer in character, which will make up for the shock of not having a dropper post.

At the same time, because it is a wire bead, it has puncture protection and good wear resistance, and the updated tread design provides confident traction for smooth rolling.

If you are a fan of changing tires, then the quick-release function of FX3 is absolutely suitable for you. Its quick-release function will make it easier and more convenient for you to change to the right tire.

At the same time, the 32c tire width will allow you to experience wind-like speeds in smooth road riding.

However, on steep and gravel roads, it may have difficulty for beginners. However, this is a commuter and fitness-focused hybrid bike, and I think you’ll be riding it on the road by the coast, blowing the sea breeze, looking at the ocean for aerobics, imagine a scenario like this, I might It will ignore the problem.

Other versions of Trek FX 3

For this review, we tested the Trek FX3 Disc model, which features an aluminum frame, FX Carbon fork, Shimano Deore 1×10 drivetrain, and Shimano RT26 hydraulic disc brakes.

It’s a hybrid bike that combines fitness and commuting. At $1,049.99, it’s a good value bike, in my opinion, relative to its component upgrades.

Of course, in the Trek FX3 model, there is also a version of the FX 3 Disc Stagger. The FX 3 Disc Stagger is a versatile hybrid bike that adds a design touch to the exterior that is attractive.

What do we like about it?

The Trek FX3 Disc is a hybrid bike better suited for pavement and flatter gravel roads.
Built-in mounting holes make it easy to install shelves and carry more luggage, and two water bottle mounting holes can carry plenty of water.
A looser seat tube allows you to ride comfortably upright.
Carbon fiber front fork, allowing you to experience a lighter body

What do we not like about it?

For long climbs, some beginners may have some difficulty, although I think its main core is commuting and fitness, which can be ignored.
No dropper post-shock, bumps may be felt on extremely rough gravel roads (soft tires will give some absorption)
What is the body weight of the Trek FX 3 Disc ?

The M model of the Trek FX 3 Disc is 25.09 lbs / 11.38 kg.

What is the size of the largest tire on the Trek FX 3 Disc?

38c without fenders, 35c with fenders.

Does the Trek FX 3 have original pedals?

Trek FX 3 Disc features Bontrager City pedals.

How many speeds Trek FX3?

1×10 drivetrain, 10-speed.

Trek FX 3 Disc Size Chart

Comparison chart, trek fx3 dsic vs trek fx2 disc.

If we don’t test, just look at FX3 and FX2 with our own eyes, except for the change of color appearance, other changes are not big.

Through the test, we can get that the FX3 32c tires make it faster than the FX2 when riding on the road. Some people may think that the stability of the 32c tires may be lacking, but in our test, there is no problem.

From the perspective of the transmission system, the FX2 2×9 transmission system makes the speed selection range wider.

While the FX3 may be a bit inferior in terms of the speed range, the FX3 1×10 shifts are easier to maneuver and will give you a smoother feel for commuting and fitness riding.

Of course, the price of the FX2 will be relatively low, but for just a little more money, you can get better components (eg: carbon fiber forks). If you want a more advanced component experience, you can give it a try.

Trek FX 3 Disc VS Bulls Sharptail Street 26”

Bulls Sharptail Street 26” cool colors, and 26” tires will be suitable for youth riding.

I really like the Trek FX3 Disc’s disc brakes. When we tested the Bulls Sharptail Street 26”, it braked a little too slowly when facing downhills, cornering, or requiring hard braking.

The FX3’s disc brakes were a bit slow in this situation. , it gives me peace of mind, fast and easy braking, even in the rain, I don’t have to doubt its braking too much.

But the Bulls Sharptail Street 26 has good grip tires, in the face of rough and variable On the road, its performance is also stable.

Now that I’m at this point I have to say that one complaint I have with the FX3 is that its saddle hurts my hips on long rides, it’s too stiff for me.

All in all, we think both bikes are good options for different riding needs, but I personally prefer the FX3 for better braking. Of course, the choice is up to you.

Trek FX3 Dsic VS Fuji Traverse 1.3

The Trek FX3 is a hybrid bike for fitness and commuting, and it has some component upgrades from the previous series to give it more skills. (a bit repeated above)

Fuji Traverse 1.3 is also a bike that integrates sports and commuting. At the same time, its gear allows it to take into account the function of climbing, and its front fork and 63mm of front travel allow it to face more bumpy roads. better absorption capacity.

The FX3 also performs better on smooth gravel roads and on dual track.

If you’re a rider who likes a little more paint options, then maybe the FX 3 would be a better fit, as the Fuji Traverse 1.3 only comes in one color.

Fuji Traverse 1.3 is made of Fuji A2-SL custom-butted alloy, which is a material that reduces low-stress areas and is a lightweight frame that is extremely durable.

Of course, the aluminum frame of the FX3 is also very good, and the carbon fiber fork of the FX3 also reduces the weight of the bike, making it lighter.

The transmission system of FX3 Shimano Deore 1×10 will give you a smoother and easier shifting experience, but the speed selection of Fuji Traverse 1.3 2×9 will be wider, and it may be difficult for beginners to shift relatively.

In short, if you are near a relatively smooth gravel path, and more for commuting and seaside fitness and leisure, it is recommended that you choose FX3.

If you are near a large gravel path with relatively more climbing, it is recommended that you experience Fuji Traverse 1.3.

Trek FX3 Dsic VS Liv Rove 2 Disc

The Trek FX3 comes in two colors and six sizes to choose from, there’s always one that fits your needs. In this regard, the Liv Rove 2 Disc is too monochromatic (only one color) and has relatively few sizes to choose from.

The Liv Rove 2 Disc, though, is a hybrid bike with a hardtail that’s better suited for longer touring. You might think that its hardtail design would not have great shock absorption, but it has 63mm of front travel and a fork design, which is nothing to worry about, and it has a good cushioning effect downhill.

This is somewhat similar to our Fuji Traverse 1.3 above.

Of course, the FX3’s aluminum frame will make the body lighter, and while driving on smooth roads, the FX3 32c tires perform better than the Liv Rove 2 Disc 42c tires. Under the same conditions, the Liv Rove 2 Disc will fall short of the FX3.

The Liv Rove 2 Disc features a women’s-specific saddle and handlebars, and an approachable mid-step frame makes getting on and off easily. If you are a smaller rider, I recommend you to try the Liv Rove 2 Disc; if you are a rider who likes to go faster, I recommend you to go for the FX3.

All in all, we recommend that you can choose a bike that is more suitable for you based on your habits and body type. If you want to see more reviews, you can follow our other reviews.

If you’re after a bike that can handle your commute and take you on adventures at the weekend, then look no further – our Trek FX 3 Disc review is what you’re looking for.

Not everyone who looks for a mountain bike wants to go for tough dirt trails. Many people are looking to make a swap from driving to cycling when it comes to their daily commute – both for environmental and health reasons. Cycling for fitness is always a good idea, and there are plenty of gentler trails or cycle paths to explore.

The question is – does the FX 3 Disc tick all those boxes?

The bottom line:.

[September,2022 UPDATE: The Trek FX 3 20-21 version has been discontinued, but in its place, Trek has released the 2023 FX 3 Disc . This bike is nearly identical to its previous iteration but with an upgraded drive train and 10 speeds instead of 9.

You can’t go wrong with this newer version; you’ll get everything you love about the Trek FX 3 in an upgraded and sleek package]

We think the Trek FX 3 Disc is a great, multi-purpose bike that can get you where you need to go safely and quickly. It’s also comfortable enough to enjoy riding on the weekends, too.

If you want to know exactly why we like it so much, you’ll have to keep reading.

We’re going to be looking at:

Some frequently asked questions
Our final conclusion about the FX 3 Disc

If you want to find out more about it, stick with us – we’ll tell you everything you need to know!

FX 3 Disc is a versatile hybrid bike that's primed for performance, comfort, and utility. It has features like a lightweight aluminum frame, a carbon fork, and powerful disc brakes that stop in any weather. It's a commuting pro if you want it to be, or the perfect fitness companion on pavement and rail trails.

How does Trek compare to other companies?

Trek was founded in 1976. They’re well-known for their work with Lance Armstrong in the late ’90s, and they have a good reputation in terms of designing and manufacturing excellent bikes. They were the first company to pay women the same amount as men for racing at a World Cup level.

They’re also starting to offer a range of eco-friendly products, designing bikes for those on a low budget to encourage cycling over driving. Overall, they’re a good company with a great track record.

They’re known for their generous lifetime warranties on frames and 2-year warranties on parts – which we’ll go into in more detail a little later.

Trek offers bikes across a huge price range – from around $450-$500 dollars, right through to $12,000 or more. That covers all skill levels – from beginner to pro – and they also make bikes for kids.

Trek offers a big range, so they’re not as specialized as, say, Evil (who produces a small range of bikes suited for tougher trails, like Evil the Wreckoning ). They’re quite close in terms of quality and price to Santa Cruz and Giant (you can read more about how Trek compares to Giant in our brand comparison here ).

You could also compare them to Diamondback in terms of quality, although Diamondback doesn’t offer as many entry-level options as Trek.

What kind of bike is the Trek FX 3 Disc?

The FX 3 Disc is a hybrid bike, designed to be used on your commute, on pavements, or on rail trail. It’s super-lightweight, which makes it ideal for public transport. It’s ideal if you want to get fit and get places quickly at the same time.

It has an entry-level price point. There are cheaper bikes out there, of course, but this strikes a nice balance between quality materials and a low price. It’s designed to be easy to use, with great brakes that work really well on pavements, even if it’s pouring with rain.

It’s a really simple-looking bike. If you want a bike that looks distinctive, or you’re after a ‘status symbol’ bike, this won’t be the one for you. If you want something that looks simple and sleek and functions well, it’s a good choice.

The main features of the Trek FX 3 Disc

Now, we’ll look at the FX 3 Disc in more detail.

What is it made from?

The frame is made from aluminum, which helps to keep it light. The whole bike weighs 11.74kg (or 25.88lbs) – that’s for the medium size.
There are five sizes to choose from, from S through to 2XL.
It comes in two colors – Dnister Black or Rage Red.

What are the wheels like?

The wheels consist of Bontrager Tubeless Ready Disc 32-hole rims, and Bontrager H2 Hard-Case Lite tires.

The tires are designed to work really well on pavements (even in slippery, rainy weather). They’re tough and puncture-resistant, so if you were to accidentally ride over something sharp, you won’t have to worry about dealing with a flat on your way to work.

What other features does it have?

The great thing about the FX 3 Disc is that it has a few extra touches that make it very convenient to use. It has ‘Blendr Stem’ technology – this is a system involving a stem, base, and mount, meaning you can easily install accessories onto your bike. Whether you want to attach lights, a GoPro, or a Satnav, they’ll be secured safely to the frame. You can also attach a water bottle mount and mudguards.

It also integrates a Bluetooth/ANT+ sensor. This allows you to track fitness routes with your computer or smartphone, with no external sensor required.

The frame looks sleek because it has the cables routed internally, which is a nice touch.

It also comes with built-in mounts, meaning you can easily add racks and fenders.

How does it perform?

It’s a very smooth ride on pavements, but it also performs well on gravel and grass.

The excellent brakes mean that users feel safe even if the pavements are uneven or slick with rain – even going downhill at a faster speed, the brakes work really well.

You can go pretty fast with the FX 3 Disc – it compares really well with a specialized road bike in that regard – but you can transition onto other types of terrain, too.

It doesn’t do well on very uneven surfaces – you won’t be able to hit the trail with this bike, as the suspension isn’t designed to deal with big dips or bumps. However, you should be able to deal with slightly bumpy terrain (like gravel or dirt paths) with no problems.

It’s designed to be easy to ride. You don’t have to be an expert with hours of practice to use the FX 3 Disc – perfect for those who want to make a swap for their commute, or those wanting to take up bike riding for exercise.

What are the specifications?

Here are the main specs for the FX 3 Disc:

Fork – FX Carbon, rack and fender mounts – flat mount disc
Crankset – Shimano MT210 46/30, chainguard, 170mm length (size S,M)/Shimano MT210, 46/30, chainguard, 175mm length (size L, XL, XXL)
Derailleurs – Shimano Acera T3000, 34.9mm clamp (front)/Shimano Acera M3000, shadow design, long case (rear)
Brakes – Shimano MT201 hydraulic disc, flat mount, 160mm rotor
Saddle – Bontrager H1

What is the warranty?

As we mentioned earlier, Trek offers a lifetime warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. The lifetime warranty covers the frameset, main frame, and full suspension swing arms, as well as Bontrager wheels with carbon rims.

Then there’s a 2-year warranty on apparel, parts and accessories, rear suspension linkage components, Bontrager wheels with alloy rims, and paint and decals.

Subsequent owners are entitled to a three-year warranty from the date of purchase from the retailer.

For an extra cost, they offer Trek Carbon Care, to obtain discounts on replacement frames or components in the case of damages that don’t fall under the warranty conditions.

What is the price range for the FX 3 Disc?

The price range is around $800 . This makes it a pretty good entry-level bike. There are some things available at an extra cost – like the Duo Trap S, a sensor that enables pairing with your smartphone or computer.

The FX 3 Disc is suited for:

Workers wanting to lower their carbon footprint by switching from driving to cycling for their commute
People wanting a lightweight bike – for example, those that can’t carry a heavy bike, or those that foresee themselves transporting it often
People wanting to cycle for fitness purposes
Those wanting a bike that can deal with ‘fun’ rides at the weekend as well as commuting on pavements

The FX 3 Disc is not suited for :

Those wanting a hard-wearing bike that can handle tough trails
Those wanting a unique-looking bike – it looks nice, but it’s not distinctive in design

What do users think of the FX 3 Disc?

Users have great things to say about the FX 3 Disc. Those using it for commuting really enjoy how safe it feels, particularly when going downhill or traveling on rainy days. They find it to be a great bike for shopping or just cycling around town.

Other users enjoy it for exercise purposes. The Bluetooth functionality provided by the additional Duo Trap S sensor is a popular feature, with users finding it helpful to see the data after a long bike ride.

Most users were impressed with how well the bike switches between different types of terrain – it can handle mild bike trails, grass, gravel, and pavements equally well. Some people found the ride provided by the FX 3 Disc to be so smooth that they’ve decided to cycle more than drive – which is great!

The only drawbacks seem to be the seat, which some people decided to swap out for something a little more comfortable, and the fact that it doesn’t have a kickstand, which would be more convenient.

Some users found that the paint chipped and scratched a little when riding on gravel. You might find this is the case for a lot of bikes, but it’s still worth mentioning that the paint isn’t that resistant to scratches or marks.

The Pros and Cons of the Trek FX 3 Disc

Now let’s take a look at the good and bad points of the FX 3 Disc.

Really versatile – fun to ride in lots of different situations
Smooth to ride – great for swapping out driving for cycling
The brakes are really strong even downhill or on slippery surfaces
Decent price point
A clean, simple frame
The seat isn’t comfortable enough for some people
It doesn’t have a kickstand
The paint may get scratched if riding on gravel

FX 3 Disc Alternatives

There are a few bikes to look at that are similar to the FX 3 Disc:

Dual Sport 1 Gen 4

The Dual Sport Gen 4 is a great deal cheaper than the FX 3 Disc, but it packs all of the essentials into a stylish package. You can go from the sidewalk to a dirt trail without a second thought.

It’s perfect for the hybrid bike lover who needs a reliable bike for work and play but don’t want to spend over a thousand.

Check out the Dual Sport 2 and 3 , slightly more expensive but with some worthwhile upgrades that will allow you to enjoy your adventures just a little bit more.

Marlin 8 Gen 2

The Marlin 8 is a mid-range mountain bike with a lot of options. While it’s an overall simple bike, it’s perfect for both a daily commute and an adventure in rougher terrain.

It is a little bit more expensive and heavier than the FX 3, but it looks like it would be able to handle rougher terrain at a smoother pace. A more enjoyable adventure is often worth a little extra cash.

The Haanjo 2 from Diamondback is another budget mountain bike that’s great for both on-road and off-road adventures. It’s sturdy and capable of handling most things you throw at it.

It’s great for someone who just needs a good reliable entry-level bike or someone who doesn’t want to spend 1000s of dollars just to enjoy one of their favorite hobbies.

I will say the overall style of the bike feels like it’s geared towards a younger audience.

Trek Marlin

The Trek Marlin 5 is a great hybrid bike – it’s a good-quality bike aimed at beginners as well as more advanced riders, and it’s perfect for mild trails as well as the commute.

Marlin 5 is a trail-worthy daily rider that's perfectly suited for everyday adventures, on and off the trail. A front suspension fork with 100mm of travel, 21 speeds, and mounts for a rack and kickstand make it an ideal choice for new trail riders or anyone looking for a comfortable, stable commuter with the ruggedness of a real mountain bike.

There’s also the Trek Marlin 6 , a more updated version of the Marlin 5, which is a great, sturdy bike, also versatile and great for beginners.

The Marlin 6 is a GREAT budget pick to get started. An excellent all-around mountain bike, with room for plenty of cusomizations and upgrades later. Only if you need it.

Diamond Overdrive

If you want something that can handle some tougher trails as well as smoother terrains, you could try the Diamondback Overdrive – it’s not as commute-friendly, but good for those wanting to get into cycling for exercise.

Diamondback Bicycles Overdrive Hardtail Mountain Bike | REI

The classic returns this year with 27.5” wheels, 24 speeds, a plush four-inch Suntour suspension fork, and powerful disc brakes. Big knobby tires grip every root and rock, keeping you confident and in control as you explore the trail. Whether you're a diehard hardtail aficionado or looking for a solid starter mountain bike, the Overdrive doesn't disappoint.

Going back to Trek, you could try the Trek 920 – it’s an all-rounder that is a little bit ‘tougher’ than the FX 3 Disc, meaning it can handle some slightly harsher trails. A great bike for exploring and adventuring, and it has a decent price point, too.

920 is a go-anywhere adventure touring bike. It's built with drop-bars and 29er mountain bike wheels for balance and capability on any surface you'll encounter on a bikepacking expedition. It comes with front and rear racks for a ridiculous amount of carrying capacity, so all you have to do is pick a spot on the map and go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about the FX 3 Disc:

Question: Where can I buy a Trek bike?

Answer : You can buy one from the Trek website , or from certified retailers – they have a store finder to find one close to you.

Question: Where are Trek bikes manufactured?

Answer : Some Trek bikes are assembled in Wisconsin, but most are made in Asia.

Question: What’s the maximum rider weight for the FX 3 Disc?

Answer : It has a maximum total weight of 300lbs.

Question: Is it suitable for both men and women?

Answer : Yes, although there is a women’s version available – the only real differences are that the women’s version weighs a little less, and it has a slightly different saddle.

Question: Are there older versions of the FX Disc?

Answer : Yes – there’s the FX1 Disc and the FX2 Disc, which are slightly older and cost a bit less than the FX 3 Disc.

The Final Verdict – is the Trek FX 3 Disc Really Worth It?

We definitely think so!

The Trek FX 3 Disc isn’t a perfect bike. You may need to make some swaps (for example, the saddle). You might find the extras you want, like the Blendr System technology to attach lights or smart devices, or the Bluetooth sensor for fitness tracking, bumps the price up quite a bit. It’s also not the cheapest bike out there – there are definitely lower-priced options available.

However, we still think it’s a great bike for beginners, and it’s worth spending extra for. The materials are good-quality, but still lightweight. We like the fact that there are fenders and mounts already installed, and the fact that the cabling runs through the frame makes it look sleek.

It’s a comfortable ride on most terrains, and we really like the fact that it’s safe – having good-quality brakes that can handle hills and slippery surfaces is really important for all bikes, but especially those commuting in high-traffic areas.

We would recommend this bike for anyone, but particularly for beginners – it might just give you the cycling bug.

1 thought on “Trek FX 3 Disc Review: All You Need to Know”

I bought a Trek FX 3 last year as a commuter bike and have to say it’s been great. My commute is pretty flat so I mostly stay in the big ring and the middle of the cassette (gears 4 to 7), so it’s a smooth and easy ride. On the few occasions I’ve encountered hills I’ve gone up them without having to strain.

I opted to swap the stock tyres for Schwalbe Marathons because I’ve had good experience with those before; maybe an unnecessary upgrade but London roads can be a minefield of broken glass and debris, so I appreciated the extra confidence. Additionally, I added Bontrager mudguards, a Topeak rack to clip my panniers to and a kickstand. Definitely good investments!

The saddle is fine for me for the time it takes to get the office (about an hour), but I can imagine on longer rides it might start to feel hard.

My only complaint, which you mention in the review, is that the paint chips easily. I’ve not ridden it much on gravel – a couple of times, for less than a mile – and the down tube has several noticeable chips.

As I say, it’s a great bike and thoroughly recommended. But be aware that the new 2022 model has a different drivetrain, replacing the 2×9 set-up with 1×10.

Trek FX 3 Disc Equipped review

Single-ring hybrid with Shimano Deore and all the extras as standard

Steve Sayers / Our Media

Simon Withers

Lights and kickstand included; full-length fenders; very good contact points; top-notch braking; Shimano Deore gearing

Underpowered lights; only two pairs of bottle bosses; twin stem face plates; no bar ends

Trek makes numerous FX models, including a 'standard' 3.0 Disc, but the Equipped lives up to its name with its raft of practical commuter-friendly accessories.

Along with wide-ranging 1x gearing and high-quality disc brakes – both from Shimano – you get a rear rack with a 25kg capacity, mudguards, front and rear lights, and even a kickstand.

Throw in an upright ride position and 32mm tubeless-ready tyres, and you've got one of the best commuter bikes , with enough versatility for longer, more adventurous rides come the end of your working week.

Trek FX 3 Disc Equipped frame details

The FX 3 frameset features a familiar combination of a semi-compact aluminium frame and a carbon fork.

Both the frame and fork have pannier rack fittings, with one pair of bottle bosses on the down tube and one on the seat tube.

Trek has maximised its Euro-trekking credentials by speccing a kickstand bolted to the non-driveside chainstay.

The frame profiles are also quite familiar, with a flattened, sloping top tube, oversized down tube and farly slim seatstays, though these aren't dropped below the level of the seat tube (a common attempt at improving comfort).

The build quality seems fine throughout, with chunky, strong-looking welds and a 'Matte Dnister Black' finish.

If a monochrome frame with silver decals isn't for you, the 'Viper Red to Cobra Blood Fade' lives up to its much more colourful moniker.

Unlike the also single-chainring Specialized Sirrus , there's no chain catcher.

Rather than dropouts designed for quick-release axles , the fork is based around Trek's own 'Thru-Skew' axle, which features a 5mm-diameter skewer that screws into a fitting in the other dropout.

I can't see a particular advantage over a standard quick-release axle, but it worked without issue.

Trek FX 3 Disc Equipped geometry

The Trek not only shares a lot of kit similarities with the Specialized Sirrus, the two bikes also have extremely similar geometry, with only a few millimetres here or there throughout, save for the Trek having a noticeably lower stack figure.

That said, both still have pretty upright riding positions.

The Trek’s tube angles are aimed towards stable, rather than sharp, handling.

Here, the stability is boosted by the long 1,060mm wheelbase (the Specialized Sirrus is imperceptibly longer at 1,067mm) in a size medium.

Trek FX 3 Disc Equipped specifications

The 'Equipped' model lives up to its name with a full line-up of components that are usually extras.

Compared to the 'naked' FX 3 Disc that costs £1,025, the Equipped comes with full-length mudguards with mini mudflaps, a tough 25kg-capacity rear rack, and front and rear lights.

The lights themselves are modest – a USB-rechargeable AXA Greenline 35 front light that sits above the front mudguard and an AA battery-powered rear light on the back of the rack.

While it's nice to have them, I'd be tempted to use them in addition to a pair of more powerful rechargeable front lights rather than on their own.

The rack proved solid as a rock, even when quite heavily laden. The mudguards were an equally welcome addition.

My testing included an entire weekend when the rain was both utterly relentless and virtually horizontal. While I got wet, I wasn't covered from head to foot in mud and muck from the towpath and woods.

I also got on very well with the wide and short Bontrager H1 saddle. It has a similar shape to the Specialized's Bridge – fairly short and wide, with a moderate cutout. It proved a perfect companion for the bike's upright riding position.

While I'd always fit bar-end grips on a flat-bar bike, the flattened Bontrager IsoZone grips proved extremely comfortable, more so than round grips.

As with the Genesis Croix De Fer 10 FB and Specialized Sirrus I tested it alongside, the Trek comes with disc brakes , and the excellent Shimano MT201 brakes are, quite simply, excellent.

The 1x Deore gearing sees a 40T crankset, with a 10-speed 11-46t cassette.

One could argue you can never have a bottom gear that's too low, and even my short commute home has an 11 per cent section. The 46-tooth sprocket was a welcome addition.

And while a tiny detail, I prefer a single four-bolt stem faceplate rather than the pair of vertical two-bolt plates Trek has plumped for.

These are ‘Blendr’-compatible though, which enables you to fit dedicated Bontrager bases for lights, computers and cameras.

Trek FX 3 Disc Equipped ride impressions

Cyclist in blue top riding the Trek FX 3 Disc Equipped commuter bike

Trek calls its FX 3 "fast, fun and comfortable" and the marketing spiel's not a million miles away from the ride I experienced.

Its 32mm tyres are just about the ideal width for riding at a decent speed on bumpy British roads.

They offer a large enough air volume for decent comfort if the road's pock-marked and potholed, but without stealing any of your speed.

The Trek will take up to 35mm rubber while still running mudguards, or 38mm when you're fender-free, should you wish to go wider.

It nips along very nicely through city traffic and proved perfect for a 16-mile commute. However, the Bontrager tyres have enough grip on their shoulders so you're not slip-sliding on unsurfaced routes.

With its long wheelbase, you're not going to be zipping around obstacles at speed, but the handling was pleasingly neutral.

That said, I found it fun as well as functional – providing enough grip for muddy towpaths, while the excellent braking means you can descend at speed safely and confidently in all weathers (bar ice, of course).

A decently low bottom gear and a reasonable weight help to make the Trek a decent climber too, though there's a bit of a jump to the largest, easiest 46-tooth sprocket.

You can stay in the saddle and if you want to get out and crank it up, the frame is stiff enough to not waste your effort.

Trek FX 3 Disc Equipped bottom line

While the Trek FX Disc Equipped lights are quite modest, straight out of the box this Trek has pretty much everything you need for the commute or day-to-day leisure riding.

The FX Disc Equipped would be great for long commutes and pretty much any day-to-day riding – and even use as a light touring bike .

Good contact points polish the build and keep it comfortable.

NCM Milano Electric Bike Review

When you purchase through links on our website, we may earn a commission. Affiliate disclosure.

NCM make high-quality, but affordable electric bikes, in this review I will explain why I believe the NCM Milano is the best electric commuter bike for the money.

About NCM Electric bikes

NCM electric bikes are owned by Leon Cycle GmbH a German company based in Hanover. Their e-bikes are designed in Germany and manufactured in China.

Specification

The centrepiece of this Electric bike is the X15 geared rear hub motor: This reliable 250W rear electric motor is known for its durability and high torque output, enabling the rider to maintain 15.5mph for long periods. There is no compromise in handling with the small motor centred in the rear hub.

48v13ah Lithium battery pack with USB charging port for mobile devices: Bulky battery packs take up a considerable amount of space, but the Milano’s battery is integrated into the down tube of the bike, keeping the weight low and central, which helps to improve stability. The manufacturers claimed a maximum range of 75 miles seems a little optimistic. The total battery energy capacity is 624wh (watt hours), so if you were consuming 20wh per mile, your range would be 31 miles. My friend owns one of these bikes and gets an average range of around 40-50 miles.

NCM milano electric bike view of battery

This bike is built for comfort: The Schwalbe touring tyres, Suntour front suspension, adjustable handlebar stem, Selle Royal ergonomic grips and saddle with suspension post all make for an incredibly comfortable ride, even over longer distances. The Shimano 7-Speed gears, index perfectly – shifting is crisp and precise.

Fully functional control panel display: The Das-Kit LCD gives you all the information you would expect from an e-bike display. including journey time and mileage. It also has 6 power levels of pedal assist, so you can fine-tune the power output to suit your ride.

Excellent build quality: The NCM Milano is designed to look great but with no compromise on functionality and safety. The Tektro mechanical disc brakes with 160mm rotors provide adequate braking and the brake levers incorporate motor cut-off switches to ensure safe riding. The front and rear lights work off the battery and provide an extra level of safety – especially when riding in the winter. Internal cable routing finishes off the package neatly and not only looks great but protects the cables from the elements.

In my opinion, the NCM Milano electric bike offers exceptional value for money. It is unusual to see such a high-quality, well-made e-bike at this price point. What’s more the specification is excellent. The 48v13ah battery will certainly provide users with a realistic range of between 30-45 miles, or 31 miles using the 20wh per mile calculation. The claimed range of 75 miles may be a little optimistic for everyday use – it depends on how much you use the electric assist.

Tektro Mechanical disc brakes should provide adequate stopping power, while the Schwalbe tyres will provide a reasonable amount of puncture protection.

The attention to detail on this bike is great. The internally routed cables and the integrated battery pack make for a very clean finish, something you only usually find on more expensive e-bikes.

The fact that this bike has mudguards, a pannier rack, lights and a kickstand fitted, means that it is excellent for the daily commute in all weathers, or perfect for some weekend touring. The inclusion of a gel saddle and suspension seat post make this bike a truly comfortable and versatile all-rounder.

If you are in the market for an incredibly versatile and affordable e-bike this definitely ticks all the right boxes

A friend of mine purchased one of these back in the Summer and he was kind enough to let me take it for a spin. I can honestly say it was a revelation! The gel saddle was incredibly comfortable and the small X15 hub motor was quiet and smooth. It produced a lot of power for such a small motor, making climbing the steep Cornish hills a doddle! The brakes and front suspension were more than adequate for the back lanes of Cornwall.

I really cannot recommend this bike enough. It has to be one of the best value e-bikes on the market at the moment, and the specification is great.

The great thing about this e-bike is that it is a true hybrid – it is equally comfortable being ridden on tarmac or unpaved surfaces. It can even be used for some light off-road riding.

If you are in the market for an incredibly versatile and affordable e-bike this ticks all the right boxes.

Incidentally, NCM’s other 48v 250w bike is called the NCM Moscow , I will be reviewing this bike shortly. I have personally worked on and ridden a Moscow, and it is on par with the Milano for the ride and builds quality. It uses identical electric components but in a mountain bike-style frame.

Meet Tony, a passionate e-bike advocate and enthusiast who discovered the life-changing benefits of electric bikes back in 2016. Tony’s technical experience within the e-bike field was gained while running a successful electric bike conversion business for 5 years in his home county of Cornwall, UK.

boa taarde tenho uma biçicleta destas mas necessito de assistencia em Portugal. ela não arranca e não encontro uma ofecina que repare esta marca e com a garantia

Hi! Thank you for the review! I bought Milano a week ago, so far so good. I found the first assist speed to be stronger that I’d like it to be. Is there any way to rebalance those 1-6 modes within the given range, so it starts not as strong?

Don’t know if this is still open, but I really like the Milano plus, my only question, is how easy is it to remove the battery beneath that tube? Can it be done one handed? Cornwall my home!

Turning the key releases the battery catch, then you need to lift it slightly, move it forward and remove. I would imagine it’s possible to do it one handed, but it would be fairly tricky as the battery weighs around 3kg.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Regards, Tony

bike seems well make and sturdy but i find the tyres are so skinny that when you are on slightly uneven surfaces even at a slow pace & i’m talking in number 1 setting it is dangerous and you could so easy fall off on a slightly uneven footpath. It’s ok on even ground but i wouldn’t let my wife ride it. I’ll try putting new tyres on it & see how it goes or it will be sold. In comparison i have another basic ebike in the states which is so stable this is nowhere close to and ride all types of tracks on it which is also a similar style. i would say I’m disappointed in it so far & feel its an accident waiting to happen.

Bonjour J’ai juste une question ,je mesure que 5 pieds !!!! Donc le small peut-il me convenir

Bonjour, Je pense que même la version 26″ est peut-être un peu trop grande. NCM recommande une hauteur minimale de 5′ 2″ de 160 cm.

Excellent review Tony,

I went ahead and bought the Milano and I’ve been very impressed with it so far. I was wondering if you’d know whether the 48v 16ah battery for NCM bikes would be compatible with the Milano model? I can’t seem to find a 48v 13ah battery anywhere.

Many thanks, Andy

An NCM Milano Plus battery should fit straight in. The 16Ah battery is the same size and uses lithium cells with a higher energy density.

Bonjour Je viens d’acheter ce vélo Mais je me pose la question, comment mettre en route la lumière avant ? Merci de votre aide

Appuyez et maintenez la touche « + » sur l’écran pour allumer le phare.

Bonjour Tony, Merci pour votre commentaire très instructif. Je souhaite acheter le Milano car après avoir étudier le marché des vélo électriques; il semble être d un excellent qualité-prix. J ai expérimenté le Veligo. Il me semble etre un peu similaire. Mais j ai une petite hésitation…si vous pouviez m éclairer…a t on sur le vélo le dos droit? Je pensais le prendre en taille L (28 pouces)(Je fais 1,74m) pour avoir une assise plus confortable. Je l utiliserai quotidiennement pour aller travailler. Pensez-vous que c est un bon choix? Ou devrais je m orienter vers un vélo de ville type Elops de Decathlon ou Sydney de Ubanbiker?(que je trouve tout de même assez cher) Merci pour votre réponse. A très bientôt, Linda

Bonjour, La taille fait référence au diamètre de la roue (28″). Tous les cadres NCM Milano sont identiques et correspondent à une taille moyenne. Cela devrait être parfait pour votre taille. La potence du guidon est également réglable, ce qui vous permet de monter le guidon encore plus haut si nécessaire. Salutations, Tony

I am seeing two different Milano Max models…N8C and N8R. They look exactly the same and with the same specifications. What is the difference?

I checked online for milano and price was 1189 Canadian dollar. On Monday I decided to buy it but unfortunately price went up to 1359$. I’m surprised as during holiday season everywhere else reducing their prices but your price was raised.
