Features200 Series Alpha Aluminum: Trek's premium alloy, formed into sophisticated tube shapes for maximum strength and minimum weight. E2 head tube and fork: Our E2 head tube tapers from a 1.5" lower bearing to a 1-1/8" upper bearing, and is wider side to side than front to back. This asymmetric steering system minimizes weight while maximizing power transfer and keeping the fork stiffer under cornering loads. Result: a more powerful and confident ride. Carbon fork: Lightweight fork with carbon fiber legs soaks up hand-numbing road vibration. Crown-mounted housing stop: Brake chatter occurs when the steerer tube flexes under hard braking loads. This increases the distance between the traditional headset housing stop and the brake caliper, causing the brake to chatter. Trek's crown-mounted housing stop isolates the brake cable from steerer tube flex, significantly reducing chatter for better braking performance in all conditions. Gary Fisher Collection: Innovative bikes imagined by Gary Fisher, built by Trek. BB86.5: Wide, stiff bottom bracket improves pedaling performance for exhilarating acceleration. Vanishing fender mounts: Discreet mounts accommodate full-coverage fenders for added utility. Ample wheel clearance lets you ride up to 25mm tires with full coverage fenders or 28mm tires without fenders, and brake nuts are threaded so you never have to remove your brakes for fender installation
