We are super excited to announce that TREK has joined Cycling 2000. TREK is one of the biggest bike brands in the world and approached us last year looking for a partner in the Staffordshire & Derbyshire. We cant wait to get started.
Representatives from TREK will be here on the 18th May for our annual Spring Cycle Event.
A Brief History
In 1976, with just 5 members of staff, Trek started manufacturing steel touring frames in Waterloo, Wisconsin, aiming at the mid to high-end market dominated by Japanese and Italian-made models. Trek built nearly 900 custom hand-brazed framesets that first year, each selling for under $200.
Trek quickly established itself as a pioneer in bicycle technology. Some notable milestones include:
- The introduction of the first lightweight steel touring bike, the 720, in the early 1980s.
- The development of the Trek 2000, one of the first affordable carbon fiber road bikes, in the late 1980s.
- The iconic OCLV (Optimum Compaction Low Void) carbon fiber manufacturing process, debuted in 1992, setting new standards for strength, weight, and ride quality.
- The invention of the IsoSpeed decoupler in 2012, a suspension system that provided increased comfort and performance on rough roads.
Range Highlights
There are so many highlights in the current TREK range, almost too many to list. Mountain Bike, Road, Gravel & Electric are the areas that we will be focusing on along with TREK’s own accessory brand, Bontrager.
Road & Gravel Bikes
The Madone is the ultimate race bike, and the one bike you need for sprinting or climbing at your fastest. The Madone is an earth-shattering combination of TREK’s fastest and lightest road race bikes. Plus, race-focused IsoFlow tech smooths bumps in the road without compromising aerodynamic efficiency or sacrificing weight, so you can ride stronger for longer. There are 2 carbon frameset options, SL and SLR.
The TREK Domane performance road bikes are engineered to provide an exceptional riding experience, combining comfort with unparalled speed. It is the smooth, fast and fun way to take on epic all-day road rides. Built with ultra-versatile features and a frame that’s as fast as it is comfortable, the Domane is the perfect choice for long road rides, light gravel back roads and even racing the infamous cobbles of Paris-Roubaix. Available in both aluminum and carbon (SL & SLR) framesets.
If you want to make the jump into the wide world of gravel, exploration, winter road riding and even daily commutes that wander off the beaten track – and you don’t want to break the bank, the Checkpoint AL is the perfect bike. If you want an adventure-hungry carbon gravel bike that can help you crush the toughest, longest rides the Checkpoint Carbon is the bike. You also want the swift, precise and cable-free shifting of an advanced wireless electronic drivetrain and carbon wheels for extra comfort on rough-terrain. If you are looking at Race Gravel then its the Checkmate.
Mountain Bikes
The TREK Marlin is a go-anywhere trail bike that’s got upgrades where it matters most, but won’t break the bank. You want to build skills on the trail, and need a bike with confidence-inspiring geometry and upgraded components that can keep up with your progress.
If you want to dive into XC racing on a hardtail that’s built to soar up climbs and stay composed through the rough stuff then opt for the Procaliber AL. You want to save some dough with a sturdy alloy frame, and don’t mind upgrading your components over time. The Carbon version for if you have race days on your mind and the only cure is more hardtail. You want a bike that helps smooth the trail with vibration-damping tech, plus a drivetrain that you can count on to deliver smooth shifts under pressure.
Go for the Roscoe if you love the serious fun and connected feel a hardtail brings to the trail, and you want one that’s spec’d with top-notch parts that love rough and tumble runs as much as you do.
