Trek’s hybrids are its most popular bike type, which indicates that they’re doing something right with their design.
Trek is unusual among American bike brands in offering not just spartan sports hybrids but fully equipped city bikes that would look at home on the streets of Amsterdam or Berlin. It’s a welcome addition.
The company was set up 1976 to offer a domestic alternative to the then dominant high-performance European bikes. Founders Dick Burke and Bevil Hogg had closed their Stella Bicycle Shop chain the year before. They hadn’t had a standout brand. So they decided to start their own.
In the first year, Trek produced 904 steel touring frames in a barn in Wisconsin, close to today’s headquarters. Since then Trek has become a huge bicycle business. It’s well known for its mainstream road and mountain bikes. Yet it has a history of innovation that rubbishes the bike-snob claim that big brands are somehow ‘boring’. In 1992, Trek’s 5500 road bike was the world’s lightest production carbon fibre frame (1.11kg). Women-Specific Design bikes were launched in 2000. Trek backed 29er wheels for mountain bikes long before they became standard. In recent years, the brand has got behind transport cycling and, as you’ll see below, produced some nice ones.
