The Trek FX Sport 6 is a bike you just can't stay off of. I took a short 8 mile ride tonight and had a deer jump out in front of me! The GoPro was on SuperWide angle so it doesn't look as close as it was in the video. It was cool!

nice trail, how does the the bike feel ? Is it comfortable for long distances ?
@grittybiddyict313918 күн бұрын
Because it has a flat bar and not drop bars, it's not going to be as comfortable for super long rides. I could easily do 25-30 miles on it but probably not much more. I'm not a long distance rider, though, so your results may vary. I end up wishing I could stretch out a little more on longer rides, but that's what my drop bar bike is for. I use this bike more for short gravel rides and city paths so I can be upright and see the scenery.

Hey there!! How do you like your FX Sport 6? Is it comfortable to ride? Or is it more performance oriented? Nice video!
@grittybiddyict31392 ай бұрын
I wouldn't say it's a performance oriented bike. I have a drop bar bike that's much easier to get up to speed on and ride a little faster; it's what I ride when I want to stretch out and really get some speed and extra miles. The FX Sport 6 is what I like to ride on bike paths for up to 10-15 miles when I want to stay more upright, look around and enjoy the scenery. It's very smooth shifting and comfortable to ride. I'm not sure I'd enjoy riding it over 20 miles at a time, though. It's just more comfortable to be a little more stretched out for miles over 20, imo. Thanks for watching!

Cool vid. Care to share a list of your accessories starting with the mirror? Then lights, phone mount, bag etc? Thanks!

Thanks for watching! I replaced the stock pedals with these lightweight but awesome RockBros: www.amazon.com/dp/B08FFHW2PV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details . This bell is super small but does it ever pack a ring on it. You won't think it's very loud till you put it on the bar where it resonates off the material on your bar: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVB7L423?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details The mirror is the LTD Mirrycle Mirror that's specifically for the Trek Isozone handlebars. They make a generic version, though, you can search by LTD Mirrycle. My phone mount is Lamicall www.amazon.com/dp/B09MT3T43Q?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I use Cygolite front and back lights that are awesome: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IO12Q4O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and cheap Aduro triangle bag: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077SJTMLC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. If you need a great tire pump, I just replaced my Parks Tools pump that was terrible with this one and couldn't be happier: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077KXQ995/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and last but not least, I just bought this Pro Bike Tool Torque Wrench set and it far exceeded my expectations... quality set of tools and quality case to keep them in. www.amazon.com/dp/B083MRWD6Q?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Just ordered a 5. Couldn’t justify 700 more for better rims …since i don’t race. However, if I had the dough…the carbon cool factor would have caused me to spring for the 6
How does this bike feel on your hands? I have a surly fat bike but my hands hurt way to much even after switching handlebars and I’m looking into a light bike.
@grittybiddyict313911 ай бұрын
It’s very comfortable for me but every bike feels differently to each rider. If your hands hurt you should look into how your bike actually fits you including how far forward or back your seat is and what angle it sits at. Tilted too far down and it can put more pressure on your hands.

@@grittybiddyict3139 that’s something that I’ve had to really accept and come to turns with. I’m going to trek and get fitted. Thanks for your reply. Hopefully this fit and the FX4 can make biking fun for me again.
