Hybrid fitness bikes are one of Trek’s most popular categories. The Trek FX 1 leads the category in sales, reviews and popularity.

The FX series is a versatile hybrid bike capable of being the type of bike you need. The bike is great for everything from casual daily rides, city commutes and fast paced rugged workouts.

So what makes FX 1 the best value bike for budget-mind riders? Let’s check it out.

1 – Frameset

FX 1 is designed using the patented high quality material from Trek – Alpha Gold Aluminum. This material create a light, fast, comfort and durable frame. The frame set also offers a high tensile steel front fork with lowrider mounts.

The frame comes in various size. These sizes will fit riders from 4 feet 10 inches to 6 feet 7 inches in height.

Another amazing thing about this frameset is the intergraded speed and cadence sensor mount. Which can help you easily install the Bontrager DuoTrap S sensor to track and record your rides via Bluetooth or ANT+.


And there’s a special version of FX 1 that named FX 1 Stagger, with step-through frame that makes hoping on & off the bikes more easier for women riders.

2 – Brake set

The FX series makes use of rim brakes that squeeze the rim to slow and eventually stop the bike. The FX 1 uses Tektro alloy linear pull brakes on the front and rear rims.

The brake pads are long lasting but will eventually need to be replaced. The replacement pads are easy to install with a single screw set.

4 – Shimano drivetrain

The Trek FX 1 makes use of the high performance of Shimano parts and the shifter is no different. The Shimano Altus EF500, 7 speed shifter is smooth, reliable and quiet.

For road riding the shifter will make hills disappear and inclines become manageable. This style of Shimano shifter is one of the reasons for the popularity of the FX 1.

5 – Rims and Tires

Rims on a bike do a lot more than just mount tires. They must be sturdy enough for torque, shifting and avoid warping after prolonged braking. The Trek FX 1 checks all the boxes by using Bontrager Connection rims.

These rims are alloy rims featuring 36H cross spokes. The high spoke count allows for more weight on the tires either in turning or in cargo.

Other than your foot when you push off, the tires should be the only point of contact with the road. The tires should be good ones and the correct size for the duties of the bike. The FX series uses Bontrager H2 tires.

These tires are 700x35c or 28 inches diameter and 1 and 3/8 inches wide. The tires are not rated for mountain biking or downhill options but do very well on road or track.

6 – And the last good thing, price!

Finally, price is a key element which makes FX 1 an unforgettable option while choosing fitness bikes.

Instead of 9,999,000đ which was already really competitive; now it’s currently on discounting to only 8,999,000đ

At that price, you have a high performance and reliable Trek bike which comes with Trek Lifetime Warranty , a set of valuable accessories and still have budget for something like helmets, lights, hand pumps or bags.

When looking for the best fitness bike or daily commuter the Trek FX 1 is a great choice. The FX series is one of Trek’s most popular models and will be a bike you use for years to come. The reliable shimano shifter and derailleurs offer a smooth, fast and reliable ride on a lightweight, responsive frame.

If you want a budget friendly bike that looks, performs and handles like a mid-range bike, the Trek FX 1 is a perfect fit.
