Trek Verve Disc Series Review

Trek’s Verve range of hybrid bikes has received excellent reviews since its release. The majority of users say they offer excellent value for money, providing high-quality parts and materials at a low cost. For work commuters, weekend riders, or those looking to do short tours with light loads, you’ll struggle to find better-priced bikes of the same quality.

Who Is The Trek Verve For?

Trek’s new range of Verve hybrid bikes is aimed at urban commuters and recreational riders looking to do short trips around town. They have comfortable seating positions, straight handlebars, and frame mounts for fitting pannier racks and fenders. All bikes in the Verve range come in both standard and “low-step” models for cyclists who require easier mounting.

Best for: Urban commuting Top features : Bontrager components, Alpha Gold aluminum frame, DuoTrap S compatibility, Rack/fender ready, Mechanical/Hydraulic Disc Brakes

The Verve 3’s benefits from the smooth and efficient gearing provided by Shimano’s Acera components. Both the front and back derailleurs are Acera as well as the shifters. Trek has downgraded the front crank to a 2-speed ring but put a 9-speed Shimano HG200 cassette on the rear, with 11-36 cogs. This gives the rider 18 gears overall with the added range provided by the extra-large 36t rear cog.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Trek has also decided to go with Shimano in the braking department this time around. Shimano’s MT200 hydraulic disc brakes are a firm favorite amongst hybrid and MTB riders alike. They provide great grip, instant reaction time, and no slippage even in wet weather.

Bontrager Hardcase Wheels

Bontrager’s Hardcase Ultimate tires are the real deal when it comes to tackling hazardous city streets. These things will carve through rubble or broken rocks without trouble and should even keep you safe against glass shards or small nails. The 700c x 45 wire-beaded tires also have reflective sidewalls for safer night riding.

Alpha Gold Aluminum Frame

The Alpha Gold aluminum frame is compatible with Trek’s DuoTrap S sensor system for tracking your progress. It also has a front and rear rack and fender mounts if you wish to convert the Verve 3 into a decent touring bicycle. With the strong frame and alloy fork, the Verve 3 can carry up to 300 lbs (136 kg) of overall weight (rider and luggage).

DuoTrap S Compatible

DuoTrap S is Trek’s unique frame-integrated wireless computer system that tracks your statistics while you cycle. It can be installed neatly into the frame on the inside of the rear wheel for a clean and aerodynamic finish. The DuoTrap S device (sold separately) tracks your cycling statistics and sends the information wirelessly to a Bluetooth or ANT+ enabled cycling computer or smartphone.

Trek Verve 1 Disc

MSRP $530 Best Features : Mechanical disc brakes, Bontrager Tires, DuoTrap S compatible (Not included)

Verve 1 is an excellent introductory hybrid bike at an attractive price . Its comfortable geometry is perfect for first-timers or casual recreational riders. It’s built from tough, reliable components that are simple to clean and repair, making maintenance an easy task for new riders. It doesn’t have the suspension required for heavy off-road riding but it does have extra-large tires to absorb the shock of small rocks and bumpy roads. This makes it a decent bike for riding on dirt tracks in parks or along country lanes.

• Men’s Trek Verve 1 Disc comes in two colors: Factory Orange  and Trek Black , and four sizes: S, M, L, XL. 
• Women’s Trek Verve 2 Disc comes in four sizes: XS, S, M, L and in two colors: Era White , and Dnister Black

Main Features

Aluminum frame and steel fork.

The strong Alpha Gold aluminum frame is built to carry weight and take abuse so it won’t break on you anytime soon. Attach a rack to the rear so you can carry groceries or go on short weekend camping trips in the countryside. This is complemented by a steel front fork with rack and fender mounts.

Mechanical disc brakes

Disc brakes provide much-improved stopping power in wet weather so you won’t have to worry about cycling in the rain. These Tektro MD-M280 mechanical disc brakes are highly rated and quality tested. 

Shimano Gearing

The Verve 1 has good value Shimano Altus and Tourney derailleurs making up its 21-speed drivetrain, with a SunRace 14-34t freewheel cassette. The combination offers a wide range of gears so you can tackle any hills without trouble.

Extra-large tires

Bontrager supplies the extra-large 700x45c tires on the Verve 1 so you can comfortably attack even the most cobbled streets. The thick wire-bead tires offer maximum puncture protection and have reflective sidewalls for safer night riding.

The Verve 1 is compatible with Trek’s proprietary DuoTrap S wireless computer system (sold separately). The system tracks your cycling statistics and sends the information wirelessly to a Bluetooth or ANT+ enabled cycling computer or smartphone.

Trek Verve 2 Disc

MSRP  $670 Best Features : Hydraulic Disc Brakes, Bontrager 700x45c wheels, Alpha Gold aluminum frame, Suspension seat post

The Verve 2 is an intermediate hybrid bike for casual riders with some nice components upgrades from Verve 1. Most notably, the Verve 2 is fitted with a higher-quality Shimano 8-speed cassette that offers a wider range of gears. It benefits from the same solid aluminum frame material but with a lighter alloy fork at the front.

• Men’s Trek Verve 2 Disc comes in four sizes (S, M, L, XL) and two colors: Rage Red and Lithium Grey. Coming in at about 29 lbs (13.2 kg), it’s a bit lighter than the Verve 1 but equally strong and reliable.
• Women’s Trek Verve 2 Disc comes also in four sizes (XS, S, M, L) and two colors: Teal and Quiksilver. Weighing 28.8lbs (13kg).

Shimano Groupset

The Verve 2 has a full Shimano drivetrain comprised of Altus and Tourney derailleurs and an 8-speed Shimano HG31 cassette. Combined with the triple cog on the crank gives you 24 gears in total, enough to tackle steep hills or hit the tarmac with speed.

Hydraulic disc brakes

The Verve 2 enjoys improved braking power with Tektro HD-M275 hydraulic disc brakes. Hydraulic brakes provide quicker and more reactive braking power with less pressure required, ensuring you always stop in time and avoid accidents.

Suspension Seatpost

While Verve 2 doesn’t have any suspension on the front or rear wheels it does get a nice touch with seat post suspension. The alloy adjustable seat post has a small added spring that gives up to 27.2mm of travel that will absorb any sudden bumps that creep up on you.

Aluminum Frame and Alloy Fork

The Verve 2 has the same Trek Alpha Gold aluminum frame as the Verve 1 with a lighter 415mm alloy fork. The comfortable frame geometry puts the rider in an upright position, with a 71.5-degree head angle and an average 70-degree seat tube angle.

Bontrager Wheels

The wheels on the Verve 2 are Bontrager Connection with size 700x45c Bontrager H5 wire-bead tires. The thick-treaded, reflective and puncture-protected tires are strong and resilient in all types of weather, ensuring you stay safe and visible even in low-light conditions. 

Trek Verve 3 Disc

MSRP  $820 Best Features : Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, Bontrager Hardcase wheels, hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano Acera Groupset

The Verve 3 is Trek’s top-dog in this range of hybrid bikes and ensures you get all the best quality parts for an excellent price. The inclusion of a full Shimano Acera groupset really gives the Verve 3 an extra touch of class .

• Men’s Verve 3 Disc comes in four sizes (S, M, L, XL) and two colors: Metallic Gunmetal and Mulsanne Blue. It weighs on average 30.2 lbs (13.7 kg), making it slightly heavier than the Verve 2 and about equal to the Verve 1.
• Women’s Verve 3 Disc weighs about 13.54 kg / 29.85 lb, comes in two colors: Quicksilver, Purple Abyss. Four sizes: XS, S, M, L

What Can Be Better?

It’s hard to find any cons about those bikes, and we really couldn’t find anything major. If you are willing to sacrifice the speed and ease of riding, you might want to swap the rigid fork to a front suspension with at least 50mm travel.

Another not-so-good fact about these bikes is that they look really nice and glossy, which means you have to take good care of it by not getting the frame scratched. We also recommend investing in a solid bicycle lock too as this bike simply won’t get unnoticed!

Conclusion: why is the verve so popular.

• Built by Trek
• Outworldly beautiful design
• Unbeatable value in terms of geometry and components
• Super comfortable and easy to ride
• Rack & fender ready for maximum versatility

It is almost impossible to fit a front rack on the verve 3. There’s only a mid fork eyelet, and the fork is too wide for the little options there are for mid-fork mounting front racks.

A friend bought a Verve 1in black. It is labeled as a “1” yet it has much up-graded components. It’s more like a “3”. It was purchased and put to together by Trek employees. Is this possible?

Hi, could you recommend a specific brand of a front suspension fork that I could buy to replace the rigid front fork for the Trek Verve 3 disc lowstep with a medium frame?

Trek Hybrid Bikes Compared: FX vs. Verve vs. Dual Sport

CyclistsHub is supported by its readers. We may receive a commission if you buy products using our links.

Trek’s hybrid bike lineup consists of FX, Verve, and Dual Sport. Below, I will explain their differences and advise you on which one to buy.

KEY TAKEAWAY

• FX s are more performance-oriented hybrid bikes ideal for those who want to ride longer distances or maintain fitness. Browse Trek FX bikes here.
• Verve s are the best choice if you are looking for a city bike. Their upright geometry ensures comfort, maneuverability, and a great view in traffic. Browse Trek Verve bikes here.
• Dual Sport s are almost like mountain bikes but not suitable for as demanding terrain. They are more versatile than FX or Verves. Browse Trek FX bikes here.

Keep reading for more information on the differences between them and much more.

Trek FX vs. Verve vs. Dual Sport

Here’s a closer look at these hybrid bike families and their main features.

Frame & Geometry

Trek FX, Verve, and Dual Sport bikes are available in multiple sizes and frame materials. Most of them have aluminum frames. Some FX models (FX Sport) have carbon frames.

FX bikes have the most performance-oriented geometry. This means you won’t be sitting as upright as on Verves. This leads to better aerodynamics and speed.

Verve bikes have upright geometry for riding comfort, visibility, and easy maneuverability in traffic. It makes them ideal for riding in cities and for commuting.

Dual Sport bikes have a geometry similar to Verve bikes but not as upright.

I recommend using the bikeinsights.com tool to compare the geometries. It is also important to note that most FX and Verve bikes are available in a step-through version. Dual Sport is not.

Wheels and Tires

Wheels and tires are among the main differences between FX, Verve, and Dual Sports.

While FX and Verve use 700c wheels with 35-45mm tires, Dual Sports have 650b wheels with 50mm tires.

This makes Dual Sport bikes more suitable for off-road riding as they absorb larger bumps and have better traction.

On the other hand, they have higher rolling resistance, so they are not as fast on paved roads.

The FX and FX Sport families offer different types of gearing depending on the bike model. The cheaper ones usually offer more gears, the more expensive ones less. 1X derailleurs are modern, simple, and easier to use.

On Trek Verve bikes, you’ll find mostly 2X and 3X derailleurs offering many gears. Dual Sports are slowly transitioning from 2X to 1X derailleurs.

FXs offer the widest range of bikes, from affordable to more expensive (due to their carbon frames). So you can choose based on your budget and preferences.

Verve and Dual Sports are cheaper and are among the best hybrid bikes for beginners .

Trek hybrid bikes are competitive compared to other bicycle brands , although the price-value ratio may not always be the best.

All bikes from all these families (unlike Co-op CTY , for example) have at least partially integrated cable routing , improving the overall appearance.

They are also compatible with fenders and racks, thanks to the additional mounting points for fenders and racks.

FXs, Verves, and Dual Sports Gen 5 don’t have front suspension. However, Dual Sports Gen 4 had front suspension with around 60mm travel.

Trek Verve Bikes Compared

The following table compares all Trek Verve bikes. For more information, see the Trek Verve comparison .

Trek Dual Sport Bikes Compared

The following table compares all Trek Dual Sport bikes. For more information, see the Trek Dual Sport comparison .

Should you buy Trek FX, Verve, or Dual Sport?

It depends on your specific needs and preferences. Here are some things to consider:

• FX bikes are the best option for maintaining fitness and longer distances .
• Verve bikes are the best for riding in cities or commuting shorter distances .
• Dual Sport bikes are the most versatile , allowing you to ride on and off-road.

Trek Hybrid Bikes FAQ

Yes. Some families (FX and Verve) have women-specific, step-through options. Dual Sports are not available in step-through options.

Trek offers a lifetime frame warranty. However, it’s only valid for the first owner. The second (and subsequent) owners have a shorter, 3-year warranty. You can read the Trek warranty page for more info.

Trek hybrid bike frames are made in Asia (mainly in Taiwan and China). Then, they are shipped to Wisconsin, where they are painted and assembled. However, the design and R&D center is still in Wisconsin, US. ( Source )

Trek FX Vs. Verve: Complete Comparison! [2024 Update]

October 16, 2022

Erik Bassett

Last updated: January 13th, 2024

The Trek FX, FX Sport, and Verve are fun and practical hybrids with a nice range of spec levels.

All three series are appropriate for riding in roughly the same situations : mostly pavement, at a non-racing pace, with some gravel or well-kept trails thrown in.

Riding posture is the biggest practical difference. The FX and FX Sport prioritize efficiency whereas the Verve prioritizes comfort —something I’ll cover at length below. That’s not to say the FX is uncomfortable or the Verve is slow. Rather, they have some geometry and component differences that tilt the balance one way or the other.

This guide will cover what stands out to me in terms of value, suitability, or overall riding experience, so you can find the right model for you .

Trek Verve, FX & FX Sport compared

Verve for relaxed, everyday riding & commuting.

The Verve series has more upright posture, slightly swept-back handlebars, and wider tires that hint at traditional city bikes. Consider the Verve if you like the concept of a classic Dutch bike , but need something much lighter, livelier, and more affordable.

It’s a terrifically practical bike, and livelier than any beach cruiser, but perhaps still too relaxed to satisfy performance-oriented riders.

FX for sportier riding & commuting

The FX models use slightly aggressive, forward-leaning posture that’s more efficient and nimble. If you ride for sport as much as transportation, or you need more nimble handling for hectic downtown traffic, then you should feel at home on an FX.

Posture is moderately forward-leaning, as on a mountain bike. Most riders find that pleasant enough, but it won’t feel as relaxed and comfortable as the Verve.

FX Sport for all-out speed (or just enjoying the best)

Finally, if what gets you excited is an ultra-light flat-bar road bike for chasing PRs and even venturing onto some gravel , then the FX Sport (one of today’s lightest hybrids ) might be right up your alley.

It would be a top-tier commuter…but the lack of rack mounts reduces its utility.

My quick picks

The FX 1 and Verve 1 are terrific budget options —not just within the Trek range, but overall. The more relaxed, comfy Verve and the livelier-feeling FX have long been my favorite affordable hybrids on the market.

Rather than flashy components or cutting-edge materials, your money buys a reliable and versatile bike that’s easy to upgrade if you like , but will keep most riders happy off the shelf.

But unlike cheap-o Target bikes , they’re from a supremely reputable brand that’s sold (and serviced) worldwide.

If weight is a goal and budget’s not, then the FX Sport 6 has nearly all the lightweight goodies money can buy. By my reckoning, it’s the third-lightest hybrid around, losing out to Specialized and Canyon by only a pound or so. It adds a grand onto the already high price tags of the FX 4 and 5…but if you’re looking for the best , then simply buying it is usually more satisfying than going halfway.

Finally, if you have the budget for thoughtful upgrades but aren’t keen to go all out, then the Verve 3 and FX 3 are the best value . Both have meaningful drivetrain and brake upgrades over their cheaper variations.

Frame and fork

The FX line shares an aluminum frame made of Trek’s proprietary Alpha Gold alloy. The FX 2 and 3 add internal cable routing, which is a nice aesthetic touch that’s worth the mild headache when it comes time to replace cables.

Forks do differ, with steel on the FX 1, aluminum on the FX 2, and carbon on the FX 3. Carbon’s obviously the lightest, and in my general experience, it provides the best vibration dampening of the three: better than aluminum, and generally better than entry-level steel. Take that with a grain of salt, since I haven’t been able to test all three FX variations side-by-side.

The FX Sport uses an identical carbon frame and fork across the line.

Finally, the Verve line also shares an aluminum frame, and the Verve 2 and 3 offer a lighter aluminum fork compared to steel on the Verve 1.

Notes on weight

Weight varies by size, but you can expect:

• Verve: 30–32 lbs
• FX 1 and 2: 26–27 lbs
• FX 3: 25 lbs
• FX Sport 4 and 5: 22–24 lbs
• FX Sport 6: < 21 lbs

Pragmatically, bicycle weight matters far less than marketers (and many cyclists) would have you believe. Wheel and tire weight does affect acceleration, since it’s exponentially more work to start mass rotating versus merely moving forward. Otherwise, unless you’re regularly picking the bike up, a couple pounds in the frame and fork won’t make a meaningful difference while riding.

Granted, more upright bikes like the Verve will feel slower since their posture is less aerodynamic. They also happen to weigh more, but it’s just a coincidence. Any perceived sluggishness has more to do with posture and less to do with weight . (They’re also more comfortable, so less efficiency is just a trade-off, not necessarily a problem.)

Finally, before paying top dollar to shave weight, consider what racks, accessories, and cargo you’ll carry . A few pounds’ difference between two bikes—say, the FX 1 and FX Sport 4—might seem like a lot, but it’s a tiny percentage by the time you throw on a pannier and baskets full of groceries.

Geometry & sizing comparison

I find that geometry affects ride quality at least as much as the frame and fork material or weight. You can tweak it with seatpost and bar/stem changes, but you can’t fundamentally change it, so geometry might be the single most important thing to understand when comparing bikes.

Verve geometry: long & relaxed with a convenient step-through option

The Verve is available with a step-over or step-through frame, with sizes S-XL for riders approximately 5’1″ to 6’6″. The step-through version adds an XS option for riders down to 4’10”, so there’s an option for probably 99% of adults and older children.

I applaud Trek for not calling the Verve step-through a “women’s” bike. Men—myself included—often ride step-through frames for the sheer convenience of mounting and dismounting with cargo or a child on the back!

The Verve has noticeably longer chainstays and a slightly longer effective top tube than the FX/FX Sport or most other hybrids. I find that these longer-wheelbase bikes have a smoother, predictable feel in general. Length only becomes a liability in racing situations or technical singletrack, but those are far outside the intended use of these and all other hybrids.

The Verve’s 70.5° head tube angle is about one degree slacker than most hybrids’. This cooperates with the long wheelbase and taller front end to make steering feel a bit steadier , especially at high speeds.

The seat tube angle varies by size (that’s typical) but is a bit more relaxed than on other hybrids. That helps maintain a decent hip angle relative to the higher handlebars.

FX geometry: a quintessential, versatile hybrid

The FX comes in step-over or “stagger” (low-step) options. Both come in sizes S-L for riders 5’1″-6’1″, and the step-over FX extends to XXL for those between 6’1″ and 6’8″.

If you were to write down the archetypical hybrid bike geometry, it would probably resemble that of the FX. Everything, from head and seat tube angle (74° and 71.5° on a medium) to the 450mm chainstays, are more relaxed and generous than on a road bike , but still lively enough for weaving through traffic (if that’s your thing).

Some low-step sizes get 1° slacker head tubes than their step-over counterparts, but that isolated difference won’t be too apparent, and certainly won’t be a game-changer.

The low-step FX Stagger models are not true step-through frames. They’ve got far more standover clearance, but aren’t that much easier to swing a leg through. If you want low clearance for getting on and off, then go with the low-step Verve instead.

FX Sport geometry: a surprisingly steady feel

As for the FX Sport, it’s strictly a step-over design , in keeping with practically all high-performance carbon bikes. Sizes XS-XL cover riders from 4’10”-6’6″, so there’s a super-light option for almost everybody—or at least everybody with the cash.

You might expect the FX Sport to share the steep angles and snappy feel of most road bikes, but that’s not the case. Its geometry is nearly identical to that of the regular FX, differing by only a few millimeters here and half a degree there.

I’m of the opinion that aggressive road-bike geometry is overrated in general, and downright undesirable with flat bars (due to their greater leverage and torque), so the FX Sport’s geometry should still keep aggressive riders happy without introducing quirks or unpredictability for less intense ones.

You can always upgrade drivetrain parts (subject to some compatibility limits), but it’s still nice to have good value and plenty of gear range out of the box.

Rather than rehashing the manufacturer’s specs, I’ll draw your attention to a few notable points.

Gear range comparison

Below are the minimum and maximum gear inches for all FX, FX Sport, and Verve models. I’ve also noted the gear configuration, although overall range (high gear inches minus low gear inches) is what really counts.

In my experience, a low under 30″ and a high above 90″ should let you pedal up and down almost anything you’ll tackle on a hybrid. All models check those boxes. To learn how to interpret these numbers, check out this guide to hybrid bike gearing .

Derailleurs

All FX and Verve models use Shimano derailleurs , but from significantly different tiers . I’m glad to see that Trek skips the entry-level Tourney rear derailleur altogether. While serviceable, I always perceive it as less crisp than its slightly upgraded siblings. (It’s manageable as a front derailleur, where shifting is less frequent and needs less precision, so the front Tourney on the Verve 1 + 2 and FX 1 doesn’t bother me.)

I believe the Acera rear derailleur on the FX 3 and Verve 3 makes a meaningful difference from the Altus on the 1-tier bikes…but not enough to justify an upgrade by itself.

On rough terrain, the FX 3’s and FX Sport 4’s clutch-equipped Deore will make a significant difference in shifting precision. The FX Sport 5’s and 6’s GRX (also clutch-equipped) is an appreciable bump up again, but not the night-and-day difference of going from no clutch to clutch in the first place.

Wheels & tires

The Verve 3, FX 3, and all FX Sports come with tubeless-ready rims . It’s still possible to set up conventional rims as tubeless, but it’s a less painful process when they’re designed for that in the first place. Rims are alloy across the board, except for the FX Sport 6, where your (considerable) money buys a carbon set from Bontrager.

The Verve comes with 700C x 45mm tires, which is also the maximum width with or without fenders. That’s a terrific size for city riding: plenty of air volume to absorb all reasonable bumps and chatter, but not so bulky as to slow you down. Sensitive riders might perceive a suppler feel from the Verve 3’s 60 tpi casings (versus 30 tpi on the 1 and 2), but I suspect few will notice and fewer will care.

The FX takes 700C tires up to 38mm without fenders or 35mm with fenders. That’s good clearance for most paved riding, although I’d like to see a few more millimeters to clear fatter tires for rougher city streets and occasional gravel adventures. The FX 3 comes with 32mm tires, as opposed to 35mm on the 1 and 2, which is on the skinner side of what I find appropriate for a modern hybrid.

The FX Sport has stock 700C x 40mm tires. That’s the maximum width with fenders. If you choose to skip fenders, then the tire clearance bumps up to 42mm—nearly as wide as the Verve! That’s quite a bit for such a speedy, pavement-focused, so you’ll be covered for any halfway-decent city street, most gravel routes, and even some gentler trails.

Other components

Beyond what I’ve already covered, you’re likeliest to notice and care about differences in braking and in the feel of the cockpit (namely, the bar and stem).

All FX, FX Sport, and Verve models (except the FX 1) have disc brakes . Hybrids generally don’t need disc brakes unless extreme terrain, sticky mud, or massive cargo are on the agenda. Still, they’re nice to have. (I’m partial to the power and modulation of hydraulic discs over entry-level mechanical. However, high-end mechanical disc brands like Avid and TRP are terrific for anything shy of extreme mountain biking.)

The FX 1’s Tektro V-brakes work terrifically when properly set up. I’ve owned many pairs on many different bikes over the years, and actually find them more powerful and better-modulating than entry-level mechanical discs.

The Verve 1 has Tektro mechanical disc brakes . They’re par for the course in this price range: definitely on the bottom end of usable mechanical discs, and less powerful than good rim brakes, but at least consistent in wet weather. Once the pads bed in with use, they’re serviceable as long as you keep them in meticulous adjustment. Consider upgrading to TRP or Avid mechanical discs if you find them inadequate…although it’s probably cheaper (and definitely easier) just to buy the hydro-equipped Verve 2 in the first place.

You’ll find hydraulic Tektros on the mid-tier Verve 2 and FX 2, and a roughly similar Promax model on the FX Sport 4. I’m not enamored of them, but they’re at least a worthwhile step up from mechanical Tektros. For my money, things start to get good with the Shimano M2xx-series hydros on the Verve 3, FX 3, and FX Sport 5 and 6.

The FX 3, Verve 3, and all FX Sport models use Bontrager IsoZone bars and grips , meaning they include foam inserts to dampen road vibrations. I strongly prefer locking grips like these, since they stay in place perfectly and are easy to remove/replace.

The IsoZone inserts are a simple (and effective) alternative to the suspension stems that some competitors offer. They do not replace proper suspension forks on rough trails, but suspension isn’t necessary for commuting, cruising, fitness riding, or most other uses that hybrids are intended for.

The FX 2 and 3 and all FX Sports have 15mm of handlebar rise and very little sweep (I’d eyeball it at ~10°). The FX 1’s 30mm of rise will feel just a hair more relaxed .

The Verve has a bit more rise—about 45mm depending on the version—but I estimate closer to 30° of sweep for a more neutral wrist angle. You’ll also get a quill stem, which does feel less stiff under power, but is far easier to raise/lower and helps further dampen vibrations.

So, what’s the better cockpit configuration? I’m partial to swept-back handlebars for any and all paved riding, so in my book, the Verve wins for posture and comfort . The wrist angle is simply more pleasant, and I don’t notice a significant difference in control.

Accessories & mounts

Finally, a few details can make it easy or hard to configure your bike for commuting or other practical uses.

Blendr mount compatibility

Besides the FX 1 and Verve 1, all models have Blendr-compatible stems . It’s a nifty mounting system that attaches one or two accessories (like a headlight, phone, and/or computer) directly to the stem rather than cluttering the handlebars.

But given how easily those things mount on their own—usually with a 1/2″- or 1″-wide rubber strap—I’ve never seen the need for a Blendr stem on my personal bikes.

Racks & fenders

All models have fender mounts , so they’re a cinch to equip for year-round rides.

As for luggage, the FX and Verve all include rack mounts . Racks are useful on their own, and perhaps more importantly, they allow for panniers, which are far more comfortable than a backpack and don’t impact handling like a basket.

Unfortunately, the all-carbon FX Sport line skips the rack mounts , so luggage options are essentially limited to a backpack. (You can roll the dice and mount a basket or rack with P-clamps…but carbon frames and forks aren’t always meant to handle forces from those angles.)

Common questions & comparison about the FX & Verve

Should i get the trek verve vs. dual sport.

They differ quite a bit in posture, but not much in performance. Consider the Gen 5 Dual Sport if you’ll regularly ride on dirt/gravel, and prefer a sportier feel than the upright Verve. Conversely, get the Verve if you prefer more upright posture or you need a step-through frame.

I would avoid the Gen 4 Dual Sport. It had a heavy, poorly performing suspension fork, and its 40 mm tires were a bit narrow for off-road use. I’ve recommend the Gen 5 Dual Sport only because Trek switched to a rigid fork and bumped up to 2.0″ (~50 mm) tires.

How about the Dual Sport vs. FX?

The FX and the Gen 5 Dual Sport have substantially similar riding posture, so it’s a question of how much time you’ll spend on pavement versus dirt/gravel.

If you stick to pavement and you like a sportier feel, then the FX still makes sense. Otherwise, if you spend significant time off-road or just want a smoother feel over nasty pavement, the Dual Sport is a terrific option.

Note that between the two, only the FX has a step-through option.

Is it worth upgrading to the Trek Verve 2 vs. Verve 1?

If the extra $200 isn’t a big deal, then I recommend the Verve 2 over the Verve 1. The biggest upgrade is hydraulic disc brakes, which greatly outperform mechanical at this price range. And the Shimano Altus rear derailleur feels modestly but appreciably crisper than the budget Shimano Tourney—especially when shifting over bumpy ground.

The Verve 2 also adds a suspension seatpost, but I wouldn’t let that guide the decision. In my experience, sprung saddles are preferable on upright bikes since they don’t affect leg extension.

Is the Trek FX 1 or FX 2 a better deal?

Budget permitting, I’d pick the FX 2. I staunchly believe the FX 1 is a great value at its price point, but those with extra cash will appreciate the FX 2’s hydraulic disc brakes (vs. rim), slightly more dependable Shimano Altus M2000 derailleur (vs. Altus M210), and nearly two-pound weight savings.

And what about the FX 2 vs. FX 3?

The differences between the FX 2 and FX 3 are more marginal. If price is a concern at all, then stick with the FX 2 and use the savings for apparel or accessories .

To be fair, the FX 3 has a couple of legitimately nice upgrades that I don’t mind paying for. It swaps the aluminum fork for vibration-dampening carbon fiber, and uses a more modern 1×10 drivetrain with the terrific Shimano Deore rear derailleur. But those are incremental improvements, not game-changers.

Summary: Trek FX vs. Verve

I consider all FX, FX Sport, and Verve models good examples of their style and price point . You may find arguably better specs for your money with some direct-to-consumer brands (I’m partial to Priority and Brooklyn) but you’ll sacrifice the convenience and easy test-rides of mainstream bike-shop brands.

The FX and Verve are both terrific for commuting, leisure riding, and fitness/training. Choosing between them comes down to maximizing speed versus comfort . They’re actually more similar than not, but the Verve will keep you slightly more upright. That’s easier on the back and neck, but can feel slow when accelerating or battling a headwind. Don’t worry: the Verve is far from a beach cruiser , so you’ll have no problem climbing hills or navigating tight spaces.

The FX and FX Sport will encourage moderately forward-leaning posture (albeit less aggressive than any drop-bar road bike), which most of us will find more efficient but also less comfortable.

I consider the Verve 3 and FX 3 the best value . On a tighter budget, the Verve 1 and FX 1 remain outstanding choices , especially if you won’t encounter steep hills and foul weather where high-end disc brakes really count. If money’s no object—and you can live without rack mounts—then the FX Sport 6 spares almost no expense to create a snappy and featherweight package.

If you want a bike that will carry you anywhere you want to go and keep you comfortable throughout every ride, Verve 3 Disc is the best option for you. You want trustworthy components and a ride that makes you happy every time you get on the saddle if you want to try some longer rides for fitness or commuting.

Since its release, Trek’s Verve line of hybrid bikes has garnered rave reviews. Most customers claim they provide outstanding value for money, offering premium components and materials at reasonable prices. Urban commuters and recreational riders eager to take quick trips around town are the target market for Trek’s new Verve hybrid bike line.

It will be difficult to find cheaper bikes of same quality for commuters, weekend riders, or those wishing to go on short tours with small packs. They include straight handlebars, comfortable seating positions, and frame mounts for adding fenders and pannier racks. 

For bikers who need a simpler mounting process, every bike in the Verve line is available in both regular and “low-step” models.

Wide-range 2×9 Shimano transmission, powerful disc brakes, wide 45c puncture-resistant tyres for added confidence and stability, a road-smoothing suspension seatpost, and an IsoZone handlebar and grips that absorb road bumps are all features of a lightweight aluminum frame.

Alpha Gold Aluminum Frame

The Alpha Aluminum Frame is one of the distinctive features of the Trek line of bicycles. Due to their resistance to corrosion and suitability for riding in all weather conditions, these fiber-enhanced frames are long-lasting. The walls are thicker to provide stability, and it requires little maintenance. It is lightweight by nature and perfect for racing and hill climbing. Every rider can use them, they are incredibly quick, and they keep you riding absolutely upright.

Trek’s DuoTrap S sensor system for tracking your progress is compatible with the Alpha Gold aluminum frame. If you want to turn the Verve 3 Disc into a good touring bicycle, it also offers mounting for a front and rear rack and fenders. The Verve 3 Disc can support a maximum weight of 136 kg(300 lbs) because to its sturdy frame and aluminum fork.

Shimano Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Trek has updated its system and made the decision to partner with Shimano this time around for braking. Hybrid and mountain bike riders alike adore Shimano’s MT200 hydraulic disc brakes. They offer excellent grip, quick response times, and no slipping even in slick conditions.

DuoTrap S Compatible

Trek’s exclusive DuoTrap S frame-integrated wireless computer system tracks your cycling statistics. For a tidy and aerodynamic finish, it can be placed carefully into the frame on the inside of the back wheel. Your cycling statistics are tracked by the DuoTrap S gadget (separately offered), which wirelessly transmits the data to a smartphone or bike computer with Bluetooth or ANT+ support.

Shimano Acera Groupset

Shimano’s Acera components, which provide smooth and effective gearing, help the Verve 3 Disc. The shifters and front and rear derailleurs are all Acera. Trek has upgraded the rear cassette to a 9-speed Shimano HG200 with 11-36 cogs while downgrading the front crank to a 2-speed ring. With the additional range offered by the extra-large 36t rear cog, this provides the rider a total of 18 speeds.

Color Choices

For Men:  Verve 3 Disc is available in Metallic Gunmetal and Mulsanne Blue, and in four sizes (S, M, L, and XL). It is roughly comparable in weight to the Verve 1 Disc and slightly heavier than the Verve 2 Disc, weighing an average of 30.2 pounds (13.7 kg).

For Women:  Verve 3 Disc for women weights roughly 13.54 kg (29.85 lb.) and is available in Quicksilver and Purple Abyss. sizes XS, S, M, and L.

Oh! What a feeling

When it comes to navigating dangerous metropolitan streets, Bontrager’s Hardcase Ultimate tyres are the real deal. These items should protect you from glass shards and small nails as well as easily cut through debris or shattered boulders. For safer nighttime riding, the 700c x 45 wire-beaded tyres also have reflective sidewalls.

It is protected by Trek’s Lifetime warranty, just like every other Trek hybrid, so you get a friend for life.

You are in the ideal viewing posture thanks to Verve’s upright geometry.

This hybrid combines excellent comfort features with an improved, lighter, and more performance-oriented road bike-style drivetrain.

You can stop or slow down more quickly with disc brakes than with rim brakes, and they work well in any weather.

With a trailer attached, you can pull your children or meet up with pals to ride the bike path or commute to work with coworkers.

History of Moscow Oblast

The territory of the Moscow region was inhabited more than 20 thousand years ago. In the first millennium AD, this land was inhabited mostly by the Finno-Ugric peoples (Meryane and Meshchera). In the 9th-10th centuries, the Slavs began active development of the region. The population was engaged in hunting, fisheries, agriculture, and cattle breeding.

In the middle of the 12th century, the territory of the present Moscow region became part of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality, the first towns were founded (Volokolamsk in 1135, Moscow in 1147, Zvenigorod in 1152, Dmitrov in 1154). In the first half of the 13th century, the Vladimir-Suzdal principality was conquered by the Mongols.

In the 14th-16th centuries, Moscow principality became the center of unification of Russian lands. The history of the Moscow region is inextricably linked to military events of the Time of Troubles - the siege of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery by the troops of False Dmitry II, the first and second militias.

More historical facts…

In 1708, by decree of Peter the Great, Moskovskaya gubernia (province) was established. It included most of the territory of present Moscow oblast. In 1712, St. Petersburg became the capital of the Russian Empire and the significance of the Moscow region as the country’s economic center began to decrease.

In 1812, the Battle of Borodino took place near Moscow. It was the biggest battle of the Russian-French War of 1812. In the second half of the 19th century, especially after the peasant reform of 1861, the Moscow province experienced economic growth. In 1851, the first railway connected Moscow and St. Petersburg; in 1862 - Nizhny Novgorod.

The population of the Moscow region increased significantly (in 1847 - 1.13 million people, in 1905 - 2.65 million). On the eve of the First World War, Moscow was a city with a population of more than one million people.

In November, 1917, the Soviet power was established in the region. In 1918, the country’s capital was moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow that contributed to economic recovery of the province. In the 1920s-1930s, a lot of churches located near Moscow were closed, a large number of cultural monuments were destroyed. On January 14, 1929, Moscow Oblast was formed.

In 1941-1942, one of the most important battles of the Second World War took place on the territory of the region - the Battle for Moscow. In the postwar years, the growth of economic potential of the region continued; several science cities were founded (Dubna, Troitsk, Pushchino, Chernogolovka).

In the 1990s, the economy of Moscow Oblast experienced a deep crisis. Since the 1990s, due to the motorization of the population and commuting, road traffic situation in the Moscow region significantly deteriorated. Traffic jams have become commonplace.

Janis Paige, star of Hollywood and Broadway, dies at 101

NEW YORK — Janis Paige, a popular actor in Hollywood and in Broadway musicals and comedies who danced with Fred Astaire, toured with Bob Hope and continued to perform into her 80s, has died. She was 101.

Paige died Sunday of natural causes at her Los Angeles home, longtime friend Stuart Lampert said Monday.

Paige starred on Broadway with Jackie Cooper in the mystery-comedy, “Remains to be Seen” and appeared with John Raitt in the smash hit musical “The Pajama Game.”

Her other films included a Hope comedy, “Bachelor in Paradise”; the Doris Day comedy “Please Don’t Eat the Daisies” and “Follow the Boys.”

In 2018, she added her voice to the #MeToo movement, alleging an assault when she was 22 by the late department-store heir Alfred Bloomingdale.

“I could feel his hands, not only on my breasts, but seemingly everywhere. He was big and strong, and I began to fight, kick, bite and scream,” she wrote. “At 95, time is not on my side, and neither is silence. I simply want to add my name and say, ‘Me too.’”

Paige’s big break came in wartime when she sang an operatic aria for servicemen at the Hollywood Canteen. MGM hired her a day later for a brief role in “Bathing Beauty” — she spoke two lines in the film, which starred Esther Williams and Red Skelton — then dropped her.

The same day, Warner Bros. signed her and cast her in a dramatic segment of the all-star movie “Hollywood Canteen.” Her contract started at $150 a week. “I earned more per week than my mother had made in a month during the Great Depression,” she recalled in The Hollywood Reporter in 2018.

Her salary rose to $1,000 weekly as the studio kept her busy in lightweight films such as “Two Guys from Milwaukee,” “The Time, the Place and the Girl,” Love and Learn,” “Always Together,” “Wallflower” and “Romance on the High Seas,” which marked Doris Day’s film debut.

Meanwhile, she had changed her name from Donna May Tjaden, adopting her grandfather’s name of Paige. She took her first name from Elsie Janis, famed for entertaining troops in World War I.

Paige’s contract expired in 1949, at a time when studios were unloading talent because of the inroads of television. “That was a jolt,” she remarked in 1963. “It meant I was washed up at 25.”

She took her talents to Broadway, where she starred in “Remains to Be Seen” (her role would be snatched by June Allyson for the screen adaptation), and starred as Babe opposite Raitt as Sid in the original production of “The Pajama Game,” directed in 1954 by George Abbott. (Doris Day would take her role in the film version.)

MGM producer Arthur Freed caught her nightclub act at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles and offered her a part opposite Astaire in “Silk Stockings,” also co-starring Cyd Charisse. The film is famous for her and Astaire spoofing the newfangled movie gimmicks in the Cole Porter number “Stereophonic Sound,” including swinging from a chandelier.

“I was one mass of bruises. I didn’t know how to fall. I didn’t know how to get down on a table — I didn’t know how to save myself because I was never a classic dancer,” she told the Miami Herald in 2016.

In May 2003, Paige resumed entertaining after a long absence. She opened a show she called “The Third Act” at San Francisco’s Plush Room. She told stories about Astaire, Frank Sinatra and others and sang tunes from her films and stage musicals.

Chad Jones, reviewer for the Alameda Times-Star, commented that at 80 “the charming Paige shows a vitality, verve and spirit that performers half her age would envy.”

Paige grew up in Tacoma, Washington. Her father deserted the family when she was 4, and her mother eked out a living at the Bank of Tacoma.

“We always had enough to eat,” Paige told the Saturday Evening Post in 1963, “but nothing to spare. My mother worked so hard. And she used to keep saying that she wished I’d been born a boy, so I could help out more. I always wanted to be a success for her, to make up for my father.”

After leaving Warner Bros., she turned to TV, starring in a 1955-1956 TV series, “It’s Always Jan” and playing recurring roles in “Flamingo Road,” “Santa Barbara,” “Eight Is Enough,” “Capitol,” “Fantasy Island” and “Trapper Jon, M.D.” On “All in the Family,” she played a diner waitress who becomes involved with Carroll O’Connor’s Archie Bunker.

Paige replaced Angela Lansbury in the New York production of “Mame” in 1968 on Broadway and toured with the show in 1969. She also toured in “Gypsy,” “Annie Get Your Gun,” “Born Yesterday” and “The Desk Set.” Her last time on Broadway was in 1984’s “Alone Together.”

She also supplied glamor for Hope’s Christmas visits to Cuba and the Caribbean in 1960, Japan and South Korea in 1962, and Vietnam in 1964. She sang in clubs with Sammy Davis Jr., Alan King, Dinah Shore and Perry Como.

She had two brief marriages, to San Francisco restaurateur Frank Martinelli and to writer-producer Arthur Stander. In 1962 she married songwriter Ray Gilbert, who won an Oscar for the song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da” from Disney’s “Song of the South.” He died in 1976, and she assumed management of his music company.
