Trek Road Bikes - Ridden By Champions, Adored By Many!

Trek road bikes have many options for your riding needs and desires.

You can get anything from a full carbon fiber racing machine, to a weekend cruiser.

Trek makes lots of different bikes.

Here you will learn more about their cycling road bikes, in particular, their entry level bikes and above.

Let us satisfy that "yearning for some learning", shall we!

What Trek Bikes are for an Entry Level Rider?

You have three options for your Trek entry level bike.

All three bikes are very similar in their make up.

There only a few minor differences between these bikes such as, type of front fork, the brake sets, and tire size. Trek Road Bikes

The three bikes being discussed are:
  • Pilot 2.1
  • 2.1 Series
  • 2.3 Series
The two point one does offer more size options particularly for smaller people.

If you are a rather tall individual you will be better suited with the 2.3 Series.

The Pilot covers the majority of sizes people get.

Pilot 2.1 has five size options while the 2.1 and 2.3 has eight in each series.

Why these bikes are classified as entry level bikes is because they have Shimano 105 components which has 10 rear speeds.

To be able to up grade, in the future, with the least expense is to get a bike with a minimum of Shimano 105 components.

All other component groups of higher quality by Shimano and other component makers are based off of the 10 rear speed configuration.

Other Trek Road Bikes Are?

For those of you who are wanting a higher quality bike you have two additional model series options.

These options are:
  • Madone (pronounced ma-d-own)
  • Fisher Road
Trek Road BikesTrek Madone got its name from a mountain (Col de la Madone) near Nice, France where Lance Armstrong would test his abilities. It is a 12km climb he would give everything he had on.

Fisher Road is named after the famous Gary Fisher, who made a name for himself in cycling. He has won several race titles.  

You can get a Madone 4, 5 or 6 Series. All Madone bikes are full carbon fiber bikes.

With a Fisher Road bike you can get a Ion or Cronus models.

You can get either a carbon fiber or aluminum frame when you purchase a Fisher Road.

No matter which model you go with go to your local bike shop to test ride it just to make sure it is right for you.
