Trek alpha sizing for MTB – what is it?

The old-school approach of measuring the frame size of Trek bikes is a thing of the past. With newer inventions and modern bike geometry, alpha sizing is used in place of numeric sizing on Trek mountain bikes.

Why is alpha sizing important?

1. Easier approach

Instead of using size numbers like 19.5, the sizes can be classified into S, M, ML, L, XL, and XXL. So, someone with a 17.5 size can go for the medium and a 19.5 is a large size. You don’t have to keep a tab on numbers; instead, the alphabet makes it easier.

2. Measurement based on reach

In earlier times the frame size measurement of Trek bikes was solely based on seat tube length. Things have changed, and modern mountain bike geometry focuses more on reach as of now. Hence, alpha sizing measures what matters and is a more simplified way of measuring bike size.

Trek sizing – virtual vs actual

This can puzzle you a bit as they both are somewhat similar yet there is a subtle difference. Actual size can be termed as the overall length of the seat tube from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the top tube intersection with the centerline of the seat tube.

On the other hand, virtual sizing is the overall length of the seat tube ranging from the center of the bottom bracket to the mid-point of the imaginary horizontal top tube in which it connects with the seat tube.

If I had to give you an example, a bike might have a virtual size of 18.5 and an actual size of 17.5. This means that the bike size feels like 18.5, but in actual sense, the frame size is 17.5. It doesn’t make much of a difference as it is there only to let you know what it is (actual size) and what it looks like in size (virtual size).

People also ask

Trek 17.5 frame size – what does it mean.

A 17.5 frame size is considered an M size (Medium) in terms of alpha sizing. Any individual who is 161-172 cm or a height of 5’3.4”-5’7.7” . If you are within this height range, going for a medium size shall be the right choice.

Trek medium frame size is for what height?

A medium size frame size (17.5) is ideal for a person with a height between 5’3.4”-5’7.7 ”. In centimeters, it is ideal for those around 161 to 172 cm in height.

Trek 24-inch bike is for what age?

When it comes to children, their bikes are measured in terms of wheel size instead of the standard frame size. These kid’s bikes have a size range between 12-26 inches, depending upon the height of the kid.

As far as a 24-inch wheel size is concerned, any kid between the ages of 8-11 can go for a fun ride with it. Some of the popular 24-inch bike models are Trek Roscoe 25, Wahoo 24, Trek Precaliber 24 , etc.

Trek 26-inch bike is for what height?

A 26-inch wheel-size bike is for kids with a height of 4’9”-5’3” (146-160 cm) . Wahoo 26 is a prime example of a bike in this category.

Trek 20-inch bike is for what age?

Trek 20-inch bikes are for children between 5 to 8 years of age. Additionally, if they are within the height of 3’9”-4’6” , it should be suitable for them.

Are Trek bikes good?

Trek bikes are considered to be extremely good and solid in build. It is known to be the number 1 performance bike brand all over the globe. Having its humble beginning in the year 1976 in Waterloo, Wisconsin, it has turned into the largest bicycle manufacturer all over the world. With an array of bikes ranging from, mountain, road, electric, and kids bikes, there is a lot to choose from a mammoth list.

How much is a used Trek bike worth?

It depends on a lot of factors in terms of how old the bike is, the year of production, which model, and a lot more. However, it can be within $1000-10,000 (depending on the model and other factors) .

Where are Trek bikes made?

The majority of their bikes are manufactured in Taiwan, China, Netherlands, and Germany too.

Why are Trek bikes so expensive?

Usually, the bike brand prefers top-tier components, suspensions, and frames that are ahead of its competitors. This results in additional costs that can be seen in the price tag and also many top-end Trek bikes are custom-made with less production, leading to being more expensive.

Trek bikes are a class apart in many ways with a range of bikes on offer for its fans across the world. Choosing the right size for you can be tricky, but this is where the Trek frame size chart comes to the rescue.

Trek as a bicycle brand might be on the costly side, but they punch above its weight to provide top-class bikes for the masses. I am always someone who roots for quality, and Trek provides what I need.

One comment

Thanks for your informative post. I really like the Trek alpha sizing for MTB because Trek frame sizes use alpha sizing rather than the usual inches or centimeters (cm), and they usually have a certain range of measurements.

Trek 1420 - Ole Blue

My first full build. Frame was gifted to me from a family member who bought it new in the early 90s. I stripped it down and began acquiring parts on craigslist and ebay. I've been wanting to get into longer rides than my 1.5 mile commute and needed a bike to do it on. This whole build was a matter of trial and (many) errors, coupled with hours of googling and learning along the way. Proud of the end result!

LOVE your bike. Using it as my "template" for the 1420 I just purchased. Question ... if you would not mind. What was the model number of the Origin8 headset and the No-name Caron stem that you used?

Posted over 7 years ago

PuddyCranks says:

Thanks so much! Happy to help. The Origin 8 headset was from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002J... There's just enough threads on the steerer tube to get it on so it won't slip off. I had my LBS install it for me. You will need to do a 1inch to 1-1/8 quill stem adapter to be able to use the carbon stem. That I purchased from AliExpress (hence the Noname Chinese carbon - worked great so far): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-6-1... Let me know if I can help with anything else!

1990 Trek 1420

• Serial: 1100973
• Manufacturer: Trek
• Model: 1420
• Primary colors: Purple
• Frame size: L
• Frame Material: Aluminum

Early on, mountain bikes came with 26˝ wheels. Then Gary Fisher came along and made 29-inch wheels that quickly became popular thanks to their momentum-preserving speed. Since then, 26˝ mountain bike wheels have been replaced by 27.5˝ wheels that deliver some of the benefits of 29ers while offering more nimble handling and a better fit for smaller riders.

Mountain bike wheel sizing

26-inch wheels.

The original mountain bike wheel size is now the least common. Since these are the smallest and most nimble mountain bike wheels, they are still used on dirt jump and slopestyle bikes that are made for doing bmx-style tricks in the air.

27.5-inch wheels

The better small wheel. This size is faster and rolls over obstacles a lot easier than a 26˝ MTB wheel, but it’s still more nimble than a bigger 29er wheel. This wheel size is a great choice for smaller riders, downhill mountain biking, and some trail riders who prefer to pop off jumps and throw the bike around on the trail.

29-inch wheels

Why 29er mountain bikes? The bigger diameter gives 29˝ wheels the advantage of speed. They also roll over obstacles easier. But when comparing 27.5 vs 29, these bigger wheels take more effort to control. Since these are the fastest-rolling wheels, they’re the best choice for cross country mountain bike racing. Their speed and momentum also makes them great for enduro mountain bikes and general trail riding.

Smart Wheel Size

While 29-inch wheels are generally the fastest, they can be more difficult for smaller riders to control. That’s why Trek offers our most popular bikes with Smart Wheel Size. We pair each frame size with the wheel size that best fits that size rider. That means larger frame sizes get 29-inch wheels while the smallest sizes get more proportional 27.5-inch wheels, and everyone gets the fastest wheel that fits.

Mountain bike tire sizing

Mountain bike tire width recommendations usually depend on riding type, and sometimes riding conditions.

Cross country bikes

Since cross country riders are all about speed and efficiency, they want the lightest, fastest-rolling tires, and they are often willing to sacrifice some grip and stability to save weight. So XC bikes usually have narrower tires with smaller tread.

Trail and enduro mountain bikes

These riders want the added grip of wider tires with bigger tread. The tradeoff is added weight.

Plus tire mountain bikes

These trail bikes come with extra wide tires that offer more traction and stability than standard trail tires. Plus tires are heavier, but they give you a lot more confidence.

Fat tire mountain bikes

These bikes have the widest tires that give you tank-like traction and rock-solid stability so you can steamroll over loose terrain and go where other bikes can’t. Fat tire bikes aren't quite as quick or nimble as trail bikes, but they give you the best in all-season, all-terrain capability and grip.
