Trek 2.1 Compact review

Madone handling for the novice

www.robertsmithphotography.co.uk

Simon Withers

The 2 series range from Trek is based around the same geometry as its top flight Madone. Unlike those all-carbon creations, the 2.1 is constructed with Trek’s 200 Series aluminium, and the frame’s quality is evident with nicely finished welds and a carbon fork plugged in up front.

The drivetrain is what we’d expect at this price, with Shimano 105 shifters and mechs and a lower spec R600 compact chainset, its 50/34 rings complementing an 11-28 cassette. This is gearing that will get you up and over most climbs. All the finishing components come from Trek stablemate Bontrager, with everything from the bar tape to the tyres bearing the name. The Bontrager SSR wheels have proved trouble-free, good, honest, budget items. Combined with steel beaded R1 tyres they’re no lightweights, and contribute a fair amount to the bike’s 9.2kg.

The ride of the 2.1 is good for its intended rider. Our 58cm test bike has a rider-friendly 57.3cm top-tube combined with a 7-degree rise, 100mm stem, creating a comfortable but not too sedate riding position. The handling is predictable and the ride reasonably smooth, and that comfortable position isn’t so upright that it compromises the out-of-the-saddle feel.

Climbing on a 9kg-plus bike could be a chore, but that’s not what we found. We certainly enjoyed descending on the 2.1, its combination of smooth, vibration-free front end and weighty wheelset making for a very stable and predictable ride. We found we were pushing that bit harder on long descents as the 2.1 really does inspire confidence in its abilities.

As a choice for your first foray into serious road bikes the 2.1 has plenty to offer. The quality frame has a good, race-inspired position and comes with eyelets for mudguards, making it a great year-round ride and an ideal commuter. We like that Trek has kept the same fine geometry and handling traits of the brilliant Madone for what is, essentially, its novice range.

General Road bikes average price

According to our calculations, the average cost of a General Road bike that is reliable is 1915 $ . However, you could also get a good General Road bike even if you pay a lower amount than the average price. To sum up, when you purchase your bike, make sure to check if it has reviews, and also do some components research.

Overview of components

Fork material.

The fork on this bike is made out of carbon, so, its weight is considerably lighter than one made out of steel. However, they cost a bit more than steel forks.

Wheels size

The wheels on 2.1 are the 700c aluminum type. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.

We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The 2.1 comes with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.

2011 Trek 2.1 or 2.3?

• Add to quote

Greetings, I am finally looking for a new bike to replace my stolen LeMond Tourmalet and I like the looks and the spec of the new Treks (something I was never able to say before). If I am going to buy a Trek, I pretty much have it narrowed down to the Trek 2.1 or 2.3. Has anyone purchased or even rode one of these? I have not had the chance to as yet and am curious, specifically about the comfort of the ride. Cheers and Thanks, Brian J.  

I have a '10 2.3 and love it. The 105 components are fantastic!  

I agree about the components. My LeMond was a 105/Ultegra mix and I loved the crisp sure shifting. How is the ride quality comfort-wise? Cheers, Brian J.  

Unfortunately, I don't have any other bike to compare it to given that this is my first road bike. I transitioned from mountain biking, I was tired of pulling cactus out of my flesh. The 2.3 is extremely comfortable and very agile. I am 6'8" and bought the 64cm frame which allows me to stretch out nicely.  

If you have the extra cash go with the 2.3. The upgrade in wheels is well worth it. The brake calipers and the crank is a nice upgrade too. I have a Madone 5.5 but have ridden the 2.3 and really like it. If I had some extra cash I would buy one for winter riding.  

Get the 2.3. It's worth the extra bucks. You'll love it!

My 2.3 has been great--I got it the first model year. I did upgrade the brakes (no-names to 105 calipers) and put a pair of Mavic Aksiums on in place of the Bontrager Race wheels (which were not bad and which I put on another bike) and the bike has performed like a champ. I had a Trek 1400 before and it was also nice. You will find it fast and very agile, you can do some extensive training on the 2.3.  

TrekBikeRider said: I thought you were going to suggest the 2.1 with a screen name like that. Click to expand...

The colors are better in 2008 and 2009. My 2.1 is a "creamsicle."  

The Madone 3.1 is an affordable full carbon alternative when considering the 2.3. I have not questioned the LBS about the differences between madone 4.5 and 3.1 but it looks like a sweet alternative.  

The 2.3 all the way. I have said it before and I will again: The 2.3 is an almost perfect all weather/winter training bike. Pros: -Inexpensive: so, I am not going to cry if I crash it or beat on it. -Stiff: Excellent well tested Aluminum frame and a Shimano 105 crank, (which is one of the stiffest you can get). Both the 3.1 and the 4.5 have lesser cranks IMHO. Although I wish it was spec'd with a standard double instead of a compact. -Durable: Again Aluminum frame, and easy to replace and find parts. Wheels are just right for tough and crappy training rides, and you could race on them too. -Easy to upgrade, (not that you have too): you can easily intermix and incrementally upgrade parts from Ultegra or Dura-Ace. -Training/Winter Bike: Hell, it has fender mounts!!!!!! Can't tell you how cool that is for a training/winter bike. Cons: -Crankset. While the compact/11-28 cassette gives you essentially the full range of a standard double with a 12-25, I, particularly, don't like compacts and the wide spacing they require. Especially for a winter bike, I would rather have a tighter cassette. I suppose you could just do a cassette change (12-23 or so) and loose the big gears, but why not just spec a standard double and have it all. The 2.3 is ready to ride out of the box, after pedals. Perhaps a new saddle (which you would probably do anyway), ask LTD/LBS to replace the compact with a standard double, and a better cassette, and that bike has all it needs. Plus, I have never heard a bad word about the 2.3 from anyone who has some miles on one. Did I mention it has fender mounts?!!! HTH zac EDIT: Maybe one of the owners can pipe in here, but the 2.3 with 1700gram training wheels and a reasonably light saddle can't weigh much more than ~17lbs. if that matters to you. Out of the box it is probably around 18lbs., which is excellent by the way.  

It will take 28mm tires, and I'm pretty sure 32mm for your winter interests. That will give you a more comfortable ride and better flat protection. The wheels don't look real beefy, but what do I know? If you have the cash it would be nice to have wheelsets/tires to swap out for summer and winter use.  

question on the fit - My local trek shop said the 2.1/2.3 are available in 2011 in all three fits - H1/H2/H3. This is not apparent on the website, but the H3 fit is the reason there isn't a pilot 2.0/2.1 - what fit did you guys get?  

Go with 2.3. I just picked up a 2011 and really like the 105 all the way around. I could not believe they had a 58cm because a lot of stores have them on back-order til Nov 22nd. The shifters no longer have the cables sticking out. It's a 50/34 with 11-28 in back. And the color is not gray, it's more of a taupe gold and looks really sharp against the black. Ride is excellent. Shifting is crisp. Brakes modulate really well. I added some Bontrager ISOGEL pads under the bar tape. I also swapped out the stock handlebar for a Bontrager Blade handlebar - wider grips. Really comfortable. Wheels are good, tires - hard case for flat resistance. Can't go wrong on the 2.3.  

Trying to decide myself between 2001 Trek 2.1 vs 2.3. Both ride well. Any other thoughts out there?  

I have the 2.1 and love it.
