Bike Service

Called to book my bike in for a full service and was met by a sarcastic person on the phone. No system to book a bike in just drop it off and they'll do it when they can as they are down to one mechanic. Rubbish will use somewhere else from now on.

Poor after sales service

Now I have read others reviews, I am regretting buying my Trek Domane +. The controllers stopped working, the bike shop said they would be able to fix under warranty. That was 6 weeks ago. Parts still not available from Trek. Clearly they are prioritising new build, not keeping customers on the road. Think carefully before buying a Trek unless you are prepared to have your bike not working for extended periods of time. I’ll be hoping elsewhere next time.

Rubbish bikes

Rubbish bikes. I bought Electra 2023 in April this year and in a month of light using (20 min per day to bring my toddler to/from nursery) noice appeared in pedal area, front light fell off, brakes were very slow to stop. I bought it to the shop I bought it from in July and was charged for repair, because according to them brake pads went through wear and tear in a few months??? 20 min per day??

TREK DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR BUSINESS. RUN!

We ordered 2 Trek Domane SLR for a total of almost $20,000 and after 65 days (!!!!) of wait they're still not here!!!!! We would really like to know who's the A$$H*%# at Trek that decided that making customers wait this long for 2 freacking bikes is OK!!! IN WHAT WORLD DO YOU LOSERS THINK THAT THIS IS OK? WE ARE DISGUSTED BY THIS COMPANY. WHAT A S#!% SHOW! WHAT IS YOUR MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR THIS??? We didn't have to wait this long for our car!!!! Do you even get how messed up this is? You all deserve to burn in hell for treating customers this way!

My wife went in to Milton Keynes ( Campbell park ) store, she had a problem with the crank guard on her bike, she met a cranky assistant I think , who was totally uninterested ,who quoted roughly £100 to replace the part with labour. Someone from her cycling club refixed with 3 screws, will not be using Trek again..

Bought a Trek Gen 5 bike from their website. For some reason I can't remember they couldn't deliver the bike to my home but only to a Trek dealer the closest one being a round trip of 60 miles. Fair enough. It is what it is. The bike tracking wasn't particularly good but was adequate. The bike was duly delivered and I was told the bike shop would contact me when it was built. Of course like a lot of things in the UK nowadays came a call not!! I gave them a few more days then phoned. Not a clue was the result. The guy on the end of the phone knew nowt even when I gave him the customer number. Anyway it finally got sorted by some other geezer after explaining exactly what bike it was. I was given a date and I went and picked it up. I must say it's a great bike. Very light. Very smooth. Gear changes are whisper quiet. And downhill speeds are pretty impressive as are the brakes when needed. Apart from the initial hiccups with delivery I'm quite chuffed. Don't use it as much as I should because I've discovered ebikes and having the ability to hill climb with ease is my defacto travel nowadays.

This is the worst possible after-sale…

This is the worst possible after-sale support I have ever experienced. They have an official recall on handlebars for SLR7/9 bikes. I broke this handlebar on a sprint, which was really dangerous for my life, and after 7 months! 7 MONTHS!!!! I am still waiting for them to send me a new one! They didn't even apologise and didn't even give me a temporary stem and handlebar. The hilarious moment was when Time Bikes gave me a new frame in just 2 weeks, and those Trek rt*ds couldn't even write a proper answer because someone was constantly on vacation or they just ignored my messages or whatever excuse they could imagine.

Beaware safety may be an issue with the…

Beaware safety may be an issue with the instructions that are given out with a thru axle bike. The instructions I was given with my FX2, refer to a safety check, which may not show if a wheel is loose or moves, and it certainly will not, as the checklist states come off, as the bike, if it is a thru axle, will simply be hitting the axle against the frame. The instructions state to do the following check " Lift your bicycle and hit the top of the tyre with a solid blow. The wheel should not come off, be loose or move from side to side". A loose wheel can be significant as I found out when I broke my arm in two places, coming off a Trek Fx2. A check on the Trek website yesterday showed the same check is still on the instructions.

Dealers are "corporate sales people" No service, only sales. I contacted the Corporate Chat Customer service and they don't care that authorized dealers are thieves. "Sorry for your experience, thanks for the feedback, have a great evening" Buy anything other than a TREK!!! Bad experience at two TREK retailers in Jacksonville Florida.

Trek Madone sl gen7 warranty claim denied

I bought a trek madone sl gen 7 red and after 3 months the clear coat on downtube is popping off so I went to a trek dealer for a warranty claim as instructed by trek customer relations. Waited for more than a week for a response from the dealer and they told me trek denied my warranty claim because I cause the clear coat to pop off the paint from putting and removing my water bottle and wear and tear, if I did that it should be scratches not clear coat popping off. They stated on their warranty that they will stand by their products frame and fork, thats full of crap. Will never buy trek bikes again, for a $6k bike with bad warranty dont buy. Very disappointing. If I could give zero stars I would

Bad customer service

Tried to discuss an issue with how contamination got into a sealed break system, that caused damage to break cylinder. On a 3 year old trek powerfly 7 bike. They hung up on me, after saying it was outside warranty.

Brilliant service

Ordered something from another company which Royal Mail seem to have lost. The company couldn’t guarantee delivery in time after a second order so advised I go straight to Trek. They couldn’t have been more helpful. She understood the stress caused, suggested a solution, organised delivery for the next day, and checked in. Brilliant service

Incredible customer service

waovv... I have had issues converting my tubular wheels to tubeless so I have ordered new set of wheels considering I might have got them damaged but the new ones had the same issue so I decided to call the customer service and waov.... Never had such a great after sale customer service experience since last few years. Tam S. has really been a great help from the first moment and I think this should be recognised.

Trek....Never ever again

Bought brand new trek marlin 6 within first 3 months of receiving all of these parts were replaced, under warranty... 5 weeks of these three months it was in the shop for repair…..but not without an unpleasant argument stating that the faults could not possibly be wear and tear when they were identified on the first day of receipt of bike:- seat post seat clamp front brakes rear brakes forks rear wheel Even the replaced rear wheel was faulty too (they claimed wear and tear and I had to refuse to pay for the fix…… I got thrown out of the shop and was told to never take that bike back to them….. haha) gears still not changing smoothly…, I give up I asked to return it at one point but they refused. I will not be replacing this bike with a Trek bike.... and probably will need to replace sooner than I had hoped. its the epitome of a bike that was probably made at 3pm on a Friday afternoon when everyone wanted to go home....NEVER AGAIN

10 out of 10 customer service

I had a persistence problem with a trek mountain bike I purchased from a retailer. I was quite perturbed and perplexed by the whole matter. So I decided to go straight to the manufacturer Trek. I spoke to a Gentleman by the name of Tam who patiently and compassionately listened to my complaint. Then he diligently worked upon my case which resulted in a full refund for me, within 24 hours. I can't thank you enough👏 10 out of 10 for customer service😁 Cheers, Tam This man needs a wage rise..!

So far, so good

So far, so good. I’m 2 weeks into ownership of my Trek Roscoe 8 and it has already successfully carried me up & down the Purbeck Way, twice around Swinley Forest’s Blue & Red trails and alongside the River Thames. A noticeable improvement on my 10 yo old Giant bike. Bring it on!

Trek Bikes Brand Review: A Close Look at the Iconic USA Bike Brand

woman riding a red road bike made by the trek bikes brand

T rek Bikes is one of the most popular and the most respected USA-based bike brands right now, and for a good reason. They offer models in all categories and all price points, for all types of cyclists. Let’s learn more in our in-depth overview!

No matter if you are an absolute beginner who can’t even ride, or you’re a pro cyclist with years of experience in the legs, Trek Bikes has a bike for you.

With more than 40 unique models, it’s both very easy and very challenging to find exactly what you’re looking for. Our in-depth overview teaches you all you need to know about each model series and many other things related to Trek.

Technologies

Trek’s range of models, trek mountain bikes, trek bikes – road, trek hybrid & city bikes, trek gravel & cyclocross bikes, trek adventure & touring bikes, trek tt/triathlon bikes, trek electric bikes, electra bikes, trek women’s bikes, kids’ trek bikes, new or used trek bikes.

History

The first bikes Trek made were touring steel frames , but as the business evolved, so did the selection of models. Soon enough, Trek began producing road racing bikes, and then mountain bikes from both aluminum and carbon.

The first Trek-branded all-aluminum bike left the production lines in 1985 and the first full-carbon model came out in 1989.

Today, Trek offers high-profile road bikes such as Domane, Madone, and Emonda; hardtail and full-suspension models like Marlin , X-Caliber, or Slash; Checkpoint and Boone gravel and CX bikes; and dozens of other popular model names in a wide range of categories.

Related:  Trek vs. Giant Bikes Comparison: Which Brand Is Better?

Over the years, Trek has pioneered or perfected many of the best technological solutions used in the top-level cycling sport.

Over the years, many of these advanced technologies have been passed down from best Trek bikes to mid-range and entry-level classes, improving the cycling experience for beginner and intermediate cyclists as well.

Technologies Trek use

Here are some of the most ground-breaking technologies developed by Trek so far:

  • OCLV Carbon:  Optimum Compaction Low Void carbon frames developed in 1991 — some of the lightest and stiffest in the world.
  • Alpha Aluminum: Trek’s refined aluminum frames that rival carbon frames in terms of strength and overall weight.
  • Active Braking Pivot: A revolutionary patented system developed to keep the rear suspension working while braking.
  • RE:aktiv: Advanced suspension system that provides dynamic flow that automatically adapts its performance to the rider and the type of the terrain.
  • Full Floater: Trek’s rear suspension system that allows for extremely supple and responsive rear suspension action, giving you the impression of bottomless travel.
  • IsoSpeed Suspension: Road bike suspension that decouples the seat tube from the top tube, diminishing the fatiguing impacts of the road.

One of the secrets to Trek Bikes’ long-lasting success is that they make bicycles for EVERYONE. No matter what kind of riding you wish to do or how much you can stretch your budget, you can find a suitable model in Trek’s lineup.

Their beginner bikes such as FX, 820, or Marlin start at around $400; whereas their elite road models such as Domane or Madone cost upward of $12,000.

Below is a full list of ALL Trek model lines available at the moment of writing this article, organized into logical categories.

new or used bike

That means that you can probably easily sell them when you decide to upgrade and get a decent part of your investment back. Of course, assuming the bike is still in good condition.

If you have the money to spare, we recommend going for a new Trek bike that you will be able to sell for a decent chunk of the original price in the future, if you decide to do so.

Whenever possible, new is always better. It’s true that you can buy a bike with better specs for the same amount of money if you look for used, but you should only do it if you have enough experience to determine whether the bike is in good shape.

Trek bikes sizing charts

One of the benefits of buying a Trek bicycle is that you can usually choose from a large number of sizes. Most Trek bikes are usually available in 6 to 7 sizes , but some series come in up to 8 sizes (Domane).

Trek also offers size-specific wheels on many of their MTB models, such as the Marlin series. That means that the smallest frame sizes come with 27.5″ wheels, whereas larger frame sizes are 29ers. This ensures the best possible fit for riders of all heights.

One big plus is that Trek also offers height and inseam-based bike size charts , which is something that many other brands avoid. Therefore, to find the right size, just compare your height and inseam to the chart provided for every single bike.

The Trek Powerfly 5 Review may be an extremely advanced electrical off-roader that comes with spectacular specs to deliver unmatched skillfulness.

It offers the sort of power you’ll have to be compelled to tackle difficult cross-country terrains, however still feels natural on a leisurely weekend cruise round the neighborhood!

I was interested in buying a used xcalibur 7 and it’s a woman’s model. I can’t find any differences in the mens and woman’s besides the seat and coil spring. Is the frame and everything else the same? Thanks

Hi Jack, Good question. Unlike other mountain bikes with the top tube curving down for women’s bikes, there is not much difference except the frame size and the things you mentioned perhaps?

What’s the difference sl series. I’m confused, can you please explain.

Hi Antonio, It’s just an acronym: AL: Aluminium. CF: Carbon Fibre. CF SL: Carbon Fibre Super Light. CF SLX: Carbon Fibre Super Light Extreme etc 😉

The Birth Of Trek Bicycles

Exploring the root of this renowned brand reveals a story that’s as captivating as the winding trails their bikes are designed to conquer. Let’s pedal through time to the remarkable inception of Trek Bicycles.

From A Barn To A Bike Empire

The year was 1976 , and in a humble red barn in Waterloo, Wisconsin, the first frame of a Trek bike came to life. What started with  five employees  in that barn went on to become a symbol of innovation and craftsmanship in the cycling world.

Trek’s founders aimed to construct high-quality, hand-crafted bicycles that could rival the best European imports. Using  steel tubing  and the most deliberate of designs,  each bike was a testament to detail . Attention to performance and durability quickly established Trek as a frontrunner for American-made bicycles.

The  initial Trek bicycle lineup consisted of steel touring frames , and it wasn’t long before these bikes hit the trails and the hearts of riders.

Growth was inevitable . From a barn-based workshop, Trek expanded, shifting to a larger factory to meet demand. The simple goal of producing quality bicycles propelled the brand into a renowned bike empire.

The Vision Of Bevil Hogg And Richard Burke

The masterminds behind Trek Bicycles, Bevil Hogg and Richard Burke, shared an unwavering passion for cycling and a clear vision. Focused on  revolutionizing bike manufacturing , they set their sights on building frames that rivaled the best globally.

Hogg and Burke  observed a gap in the market  for mid to high-end bicycles, particularly those made in America. This observation sparked the inspiration to start Trek Bicycle Corporation.

Hogg’s expertise in marketing and Burke’s financial acumen created a powerful synergy. Together,  they invested in the latest technology  to craft bicycles that  exuded quality  and  durability .

Their commitment to excellence was uncompromising, attracting a devoted following from both recreational cyclists and professionals.

As their bikes began to garner attention, Trek’s reputation soared. The company quickly evolved,  expanding its range from touring to racing bikes .

The founders’ vision had not only created a new standard in biking but also laid the groundwork for a brand that continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible on two wheels.

Early Struggles And Successes

Trek Bicycle Corporation  began its journey in 1976, in a small barn in Waterloo, Wisconsin. With limited resources but a clear vision, Trek’s early days were marked by  persistence and innovation .

These characteristics paved the way for its initial breakthroughs in the bicycle industry. Despite numerous obstacles, the company took on the challenge of revolutionizing bike design and manufacturing.

Mastering The Steel Frame

Trek’s dedication to  craftsmanship  was evident in its first products. The team sought to master the art of the  steel frame , the backbone of any bicycle.

Early attempts involved trial and error, with many designs falling short. Yet, the persistence paid off. Trek engineered a steel frame bicycle that stood out for  reliability  and  performance .

By combining traditional techniques with innovative thinking, Trek overcame the odds. They developed signature steel frames that were not only  durable but also sleek  in design. This technological edge helped Trek gain recognition in the competitive cycling market.

Trek’s First Road Bikes

Quality and endurance  were the benchmarks for Trek’s first line of road bikes. As the company moved forward, the mission was to produce bikes that could handle  long distances  and  high speeds  with ease. In 1980, Trek launched its first series of hand-built road bikes.

  • Introduction of models such as the  520  and  720 , which offered unparalleled  aerodynamics  and  comfort .
  • The use of  4130 Chromoly tubing  in frames, redefining industry standards for lightweight and strength.

These road bikes signified Trek’s commitment to quality and set the stage for future success. The cycling community responded positively, and demand for Trek bikes began to surge. This era marked a significant milestone as the company cemented its reputation in the marketplace.

Expanding The Range

As Trek Bicycle grew, they aimed to cover every rider’s needs.  The ‘Expanding the Range’  tells of how Trek didn’t just settle with road bikes. They charged into new territories, crafting bikes for all sorts of trails and riders.

Mountain Bikes Revolution

In the 1980s,  Trek launched its first mountain bike . This wasn’t just any bike; it was a durable, off-road beast that could handle tough terrains.  Mountain biking became a sensation , and Trek was at the forefront, with bikes loved by both beginners and pros.

Pioneering Aluminum And Carbon Frames

Pushing the boundaries , Trek innovated with aluminum and carbon. The  aluminum frames  were light, yet strong. But Trek didn’t stop there. They introduced  carbon frame technology , setting new standards for lightweight and performance. These bikes weren’t just fast; they were revolutionary.

Bicycle Art

Using Bicycle parts for art and functional items is a long tradition at B&L.

Shortly after starting the store in 1996 the need for a proper toilet  paper holder was needed so I fabricated one using dead bicycle parts that where lying around, it is still in use today .

Over the years bicycle parts have been incorporated a number of different places in the store.

Today  Bicycle art is one of my hobbies, the pieces that are created vary depending on the season and mood.

most pieces can be purchased.  this is a hobby and my real job of running a bicycle shop  takes up most of my time so art work is done at my whim.

for viewing most current pieces see @blbicycles on instagram or the stores Facebook page B & L Bicycles .
