Trek FX Sport 6 review

Can the ride justify the Trek’s high price tag?

Ian Osborne

Comfortable-yet-fun ride, IsoSpeed decoupler, lightweight, Shimano 105

Cost is the biggest one, funky-looking grips, only available in black

The FX Sport 6 is Trek’s top-of-the-range fitness bike, and with a £1,900 price tag, I was hoping for something special. On paper, this carbon-framed speedster, with Shimano 105 gearing and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes certainly looks like it should be.

Trek has employed its IsoSpeed decoupler technology on the lightweight 400 Series OCLV carbon frame. Along with the frame itself helping with road sting, this system allows the seat tube to flex independently from the top tube to smooth out the ride.

This system was first seen on Trek’s Domane models in 2012 and was designed to help pro racers with the punishing surfaces found at the Spring Classics. On the Sport 6 it’s a nice addition to the overall comfort without sacrificing rigidity or efficiency, whether riding on typically potholed UK roads or more adventurous gravel paths.

Up front, the bladed carbon fork performs well in terms of ride quality and looks. It features 12mm thru-axles for the disc brakes, and, for more practical days, there are hidden mudguard mounts at the front to match those at the rear.

The ride is light and nimble and is backed up by a quality engine room comprising Shimano 105 gears, 11-32 cassette and 50/34 compact chainset. Wherever I rode, I never felt like I was running out of gears. Changing gear is also reassuring thanks to the RS700 shifters.

Rolling on Bontrager’s TLR (Tubeless Ready) Road wheels means you’ve got a good set of hoops with fewer worries about pinch flats. Bontrager’s 32mm AW2 Hard-Case Lite tyres with beefed-up carcasses back this up. Whatever the weather, these performed well, especially on the road, offering a good balance of speed, comfort and reliability.

Tektro’s HD-310 hydraulic disc brakes allow for progressive braking and even when pulling hard in hairy situations they never felt grabby. The matching straight-blade levers may look bland, but they allow you to efficiently apply the brakes, however many fingers work for you.

The flat bar on offer here is Bontrager’s 6061 T6 alloy Satellite Plus IsoZone, 15mm riser option. It has elastomer inserts in the bar ends to absorb vibrations and impacts to reduce body fatigue.

Alongside Bontrager’s Inform grips, the pairing is said to reduce pressure on the hands by up to 30 percent. While the grips aren’t particularly attractive, the hand position is natural and the ride feels indulgent.

The Sport 6 is a classy flat-bar bike, and it’s good to see Trek has pulled several of its proven attributes from its road bikes and included them here. It shows that the brand understands there’s a demand for a quality flat-bar bike beyond the classic hybrid.

The Sport 6 is an extremely capable bike that is a joy to ride. It’s almost too good as a daily commuter and definitely comes into its own on longer rides with its forgiving handling.

Its setup and components also take out some of the harshness over rougher terrain, making it a quality all-rounder, but you do pay a premium for this.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.

Horseback Riding in Moscow

Horseback riding is an ancient art which contributed enormously to development of the country in the Middle Ages. Today travelers can still wonder at the artistic glories created during this period. Today riders see picturesque outside landscapes and untouched forests. This is the land which fostered great artists like Vasnetcov, Levitan, Savrasov. Their pictures might see in Tretyakov Art Gallery. Being a partisipant to this enthralling travel is one of the charms of horseback riding rest in Podmoscovie.
