Montra Downtown (2022)

Trek's hybrid bicycle range have been known to provide not just comfortable city rides but also long distance riding with ease. We got the oppurtunity to test ride the Trek 7.1 FX 2015 and here is what we thought.

  • Comfortable and ergonomic saddle
  • Overall a heavy bicycle
  • Mediocre handlebar grips

Frame, Fit and Comfort

Trek 7.1 FX (2015) Frame, Fit and Comfort

The Trek 7.1 FX's aluminium frame uses hydroformed tubing for the top tube and down tube. That means they are shaped by high-pressure hydraulic fluid into flowing shapes with curves and concavities. Here they have an odd angular profile, which is largely aesthetic rather than structural, though the wider tube diameters at the head tube do increase stiffness. Hydroforming can thin the tube walls, which would reduce strength, but these tubes are butted so there's nothing to worry about. The high-tensile steel fork on the 7.1 FX does add some weight to the frame but the strength of the steel makes it usable for heavy loaded touring.

Trek 7.1 FX (2015) Design

The Trek 7.1 FX (MY 2015) which I test rode came in a full bright red with a bold black graphics on the bottom tube. Trek's decision to go with a single colour code has made the 7.1 FX a classy looking bicycle. The neatly shaped fork, pointing saddle and alloy rims all add to the aesthetics of this bicycle. This bicycle also comes in a dark blue colour variant.

Trek 7.1 FX (2015) Gearing

The 7.1 FX from Trek is equipped with Shimano Tourney at the front and Acera M360 at the back. Hybrid bicycles are always the favorite type for manufacturers to play around with the mix and match of gearing components. There is no real advantage or disadvantage to it on hybrid bicycles. The Trek 7.1 FX (MY 2015) comes with 21 gears, and a very low ratio for getting up steep hills. Some may find the top gears a little on the slow side. During the test ride I had to maintain a pretty high cadence to get over 25mph. It's a heavy chunk of hardware and has a very rear-biased weight distribution —– not the best for hopping curbs or potholes. I doubt most people buying this will should be worried at a lack of high end speed on this bicycle. If you are, you are probably buying the wrong bicycle, and should look at an entry level road bicycle. The Shimano Altus EF-51 thumb shifters on the 7.1 FX are at a comfortable hand position with both the thumb and trigger shift levers working smoothly without any discomfort.¾

Brakes and Steering

Trek 7.1 FX (2015) Brakes and Steering

The brakes on the Trek 7.1 FX (MY 2015) are Tektro lever pull —– quite a common option for this type of hybrid bicycle. They offer reasonable, if not an unspectacular performance. Again an upgrade to disc brakes would have been a significant improvement at this price point. Front braking is powerful, easily controllable, and consistent in both wet and dry conditions —– not to mention admirably quiet. The rear brake could use more power and both the levers are notably squishier but the modulation was excellent and performed well while zipping through traffic on city streets.

The Bontrager steel riser handlebar was pretty good. The setup has a closer resemblance to a road bicycle than a mountain bicycle. Though the position can be adjusted with the riser bar, it felt nimble enough riding around town. Again solid and reliable rather than cutting edge.

Ride Quality

Trek 7.1 FX (2015) Ride Quality

The Bontrager H2 700x35C tires are clearly the best hybrid tires you can get. They were slick, quick and cornered well too during the test ride. They are puncture resistant to a limit but not completely avoidable. Do not be surprised if these tires last for 10-15k Kms without losing the sheen and grip. The Bontrager SSR saddle was excellent, it has a lovely shape and perfect padding which makes it comfortable even on 50+Km rides. On the downside, the Trek 7.1 FX (MY 2015) is a little heavy and rigid. If you are riding over rough bumpy roads, your hands will certainly start to feel the vibrations on these minimal handlebar grips.

Trek bicycles come in a variety of sizing so will fit most riders. Trek know what a typical hybrid bicycle buyer is looking for. So, if you are the kind of rider looking for something special and a bit of zip, you will have to save more money for a higher end hybrid bicycle. But, if you want a solid and simple hybrid bicycle with minimal fuss, then you canŠ—Èt go too wrong with the Trek 7.1 FX (MY 2015).

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Trek 7.1 FX Hybrid Bike Review

Note: Updated review: originally posted on old blog.

trek-fx7-

Trek 7.1 FX is one of Trek’s best selling models. For £350- £375, you get a lot of features for your money which will appeal to a broad spectrum of commuting cyclists.

It’s not surprising why it is so popular. For most commuters and newbie cyclists sticking to roads, this bike does pretty much everything you need. It is reliable, solid and gives a good riding experience without any expensive extravagances.

It comes with 21 gears, and a very low ratio for getting up steep hills. Some may find the top gear of 48*14 a little on the slow side. You have to maintain a pretty high cadence to get over 25mph.

But, I doubt most people buying this will be worried at a lack of high end speed. If you are, you’re probably buying the  wrong bike, and should look at a cheap road bike.

On the downside, the bike is a little heavy and rigid. If you’re riding over rough terrain like a canal path, your hands will certainly start to feel the vibrations on these minimal handlebar grips Despite the 35″ tyres, even riding around Leeds city centre I thought it a little tough.

If you can upgrade to the next FX model like the Trek 7.2 Fx – you get a lighter weight frame and more cushioning in the handlebars. As I am used to riding stiff road bikes, this rigidity isn’t a big disadvantage to me, but, if real comfort is important, you may want to look at other hybrid bikes with suspension and a more forgiving set up.

On the plus side of comfort, I thought the Bontrager SSR saddle was excellent. Lovely shape and padding make it really quite comfortable. Gears within easy reach.

The gears are easy to use. Not instantaneous, but good enough given it is based on the lower end of the Shimano scale. You need to think ahead to get a burst of speed from lights, but, I was quite happy with the Shimano gears clicking away.

The brakes are Tektro lever pull – quite a common option for this type of hybrid bike. They offer reasonable, if unspectacular performance. Again an upgrade to disc brakes offers a significant improvement.

Pretty good. The set up is closer to road bike than mountain bike. Though the position can be adjusted with the riser bar. It felt nimble enough riding around town. Again solid and reliable rather than cutting edge.

Comes with mudguard and pannier holes, that you can add onto if you want. For overall commuting, the Trek 7.1 FX is a good all rounder. Fast enough to outperform thicker mountain bike style bikes, but with a greater stability to more aggressive road bikes.

Puncture Protection

Bontrager tyres. Uncertain of how these compare over time. There are better puncture resistance tyres on the market, which can always be added to.

This best-selling hybrid bike is popular with good reason. Trek know what a typical hybrid bike buyer is looking for. It gives very solid performance, though as someone who has ridden many different bikes, it does leave you dreaming of upgrading to get better features.

Trek bikes come in a variety of sizing so will fit most riders. There is also a womens version with step through frame.

Who Would This  Bike suit?

It would suit someone on a very strict budget of keeping the price down to below £350. If you’re the kind of bike rider looking for something special and a bit of zip, you will have to save more money. But, if you want a solid hybrid bike with minimum of fuss, then you can’t go too wrong with the Trek 7.1 FX.

Note: it wouldn’t be a great buy for any substantial off-road riding because the rigidity make for an unforgiving ride.

American made. Strong frame. Original wheels were great for the road. Great seat and front fork suspension. -- Tree Services

none so far

Bought this new in 2003 after moving to PA to handle the hills. I’ve ridden this between 1000/1500 mile/year since. I’ve gone thru 3 sets of wheels, 4 chains, a dozen tires, 2 sets of pedals, replaced cables, nylon chain guides, bottom bracket, several seats and 2 sets of panniers. I could buy another bike but why this thing is perfect and cost me $1000 and amortized that’s slightly more than $50 a year.

Just the weight. It is a bit heavy, but durable

Bought this bike new in 1999 I think. Recently took it to local bike shop, and for a pittance, new tires, and cleaned and oiled everything, up, and man! It’s like new! I’m in my 70’s now, and this bike is perfect for the road for me. And I love it will cruise at about 17mph on the road almost effortless. I’ve been caught going 32mph near my home down a hill. :-) This bike is rugged, smooth riding, and just plain fun. Everything is original except the new tires. I also have a Specialized mountain bike and a Specialized fat bike. They are fun, but the Trek steals my heart!

I know no weaknesses.

American made. Strong frame. Original wheels were great for the road. Great seat and front fork suspension.

I've owned my 7700 since 2000. I've upgraded to a Brooks saddle, SRAM twist shifter, and stronger wheels since I sometimes take it off-road. I own two other treks. A trek tandem T900, and a trek 5900 oclv110. The 7700 is my go to bike that I ride the most. It's comfortable and capable. Great commuter bike. Not as fast as the 5900 of course. But the 7700 is my go to bike.

solid, reliable,light,quick for a hi-bred. A friendly ride.

Not as fast as a road bike, not a true off road bike, something different well made,and very useful.

Top notch ride. Served me very well for 8 years until it was robbed last month. used for commuting 20 miles per day,around 3 x per wk + weekend riding both self and supported rides . very sorry to see it go. I was surprised how often I would select it over my more expensive faster and sexier road bike.

fame becuse i get by 2 cars with it

The wait Wish it were a little lighter Should have come stock with a carbon fork - the 2005 does

I had to wait a long time for this bike - ordered it in early April 2004, and didn't get it until mid-June. I guess Trek was having component problems. I also wanted a few customizations to it - a) carbon fork for weight and ride b) more roadie tires (almost went for a mid-range wheel set, but my budget didn't allow for it). I'm a bike commuter - most of my mileage is between work and home or to the grocery store. This bike has survived a few crashes, 50# loads of groceries, and all 225# of me on an almost daily basis. This bike is supposedly targeted at a more fitness oriented rider. That's really not me. I'm a practical rider. And this bike combines enough practicality along with more 'roadie' components and weight (around 25# with the carbon fork) to make me happy. It is a pleasure to ride. The carbon fork that I added completely changes the feel of the ride. And the bike itself doesn't wear me out - partly because my shoulders don't hurt after a longer ride anymore - and partly because it just seems to take less effort to move it than some bikes I've ridden. This bike is not a Madone 5.9, but it's not supposed to be. It's meant to be a bike to get you from point A to point B as well as let you get some pleasure rides in. This is the bike you take to work or get groceries on. And its a bike that you can use for general, day to day pleasure cruising. I love this bike. It isn't a 5 star bike (if it were about $100 cheaper it might be) but its as close as it gets w/o going to a full carbon road bike.

2000 Trek 7700 1997 Trek 7300

Light Effortless to ride Fast (already had it up to 37MPH so far)

Seat is a bit harsh, will likely change it.

Wonderful tight fast ride. Wonderful if moving from a Mountain Bike to something for the open road. This bike is very light at only 26lbs off the rack. You will feel the bumps so if you really don't like that you might want to try the heavier 7700 with fork suspension. I tried both an was immediately drawn to the FX for its lighter weight and seeminly effortless ride.

Bill chipman palouse trail description.

Closure Notice: As of late August 2023, a trestle bridge is out along the trail. The Trail is currently closed between the Alpine Animal Hospital and the Jorstad Family Farm (5101 Pullman-Moscow Highway), affectionately known as the "Siggie Dome". Please check local news sources before heading out on the trail.

The Bill Chipman Palouse Trail stretches 7.1 miles through the rolling wheat fields of the Palouse region, offering a convenient, paved connection between Washington State University and the University of Idaho.

The trail follows a piece of corridor from the former Union Pacific Railroad (constructed by the Columbia & Palouse Railroad in 1885), which transported passengers from Colfax to Moscow. The last passenger train ran in 1957. Now, the wide, mostly flat pathway—a respite from the area's many hills and valleys—accommodates non-motorized users of all types, with additional trail connections at either end.

Along the route from Pullman to Moscow, 13 original railroad bridges cross Paradise Creek. Opportunities abound to spot birds and other forms of aquatic wildlife thriving in and near the water. Trail users will also find emergency phones, restrooms accessible for people with disabilities, benches, bike racks, and interpretive signs describing the history, agriculture, and ecology of the region.

The Bill Chipman Palouse Trail overlaps with the Pullman Loop Trail for approximately 1 mile, starting near the Chipman trailhead at Bishop Boulevard. From here, you'll cross Paradise Creek to a cirque of benches and an interpretive station at Birdhouse Depot. Magpies are common; the stream also provides a habitat for hawks, falcons, and more than 100 other bird species.

As you travel farther along the gentle uphill grade, you'll come to the next point of interest, a giant grain elevator. A greenway buffers you from the four-lane highway to Moscow, as do the lovely waysides with interpretive signs and benches along the corridor. Grab some water at Neil Wayside near Pullman. This dry, unsheltered path is often windy heading eastward.

The trail culminates at Farm Road (Perimeter Drive) in Moscow. Continue east on the 2-mile Paradise Path through the north and east edges of the University of Idaho campus and up Paradise Creek to the Moscow city limits. Here, you can connect with the paved, 12-mile Latah Trail to Troy, Idaho.

Parking and Trail Access

There are two spots for designated parking along the trail. At the western terminus in Pullman, there is parking at the gas station across from the trailhead, 1455 SE Bishop Blvd. Halfway between Pullman and Moscow, there is parking at the Sunshine Trailhead. 

Although there is no designated parking at the eastern terminus, the trail ends here in downtown Moscow where there is ample public parking.

See TrailLink Map for more detailed directions.

Bill Chipman Palouse Trail Reviews

trek 7.1 fx road bike

Flat, yes, but….

Id rate this trail a C- overall for a couple of reasons. The biggest drawback is the overfilled cracks which have been poorly managed. These bumps are hard to take on a rigid frame road bike and they are frequent—as in every few yards. The continual jarring diminishes the riders experience overall. Secondly, as of late August 2023, the bridge near Pullman is out. Some local kids decided to party there and burned the bridge. There is a detour that takes you onto Highway 8, but that’s never enjoyable to ride a busy highway. I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to ride the trail, bu rid you happen to be in the area and want to do a short ride it’s okay.

Great trail for biking between Pullman and Moscow

I only bike this trail, when I want to go to Pullman for some reason and prefer to bike there rather than drive. I don't choose this trail to bike on for the scenery, because the Latah Trail between Moscow and Troy is a lot nicer. But I do like this trail a lot. While you are parallel to the highway, which isn't a big highway by any means, it's not as loud and intrusive as you might think.

Easy commuter trail along the creek

This trail is perfect for an evening workout or leisurely ride. It is a slight but noticeable downhill from Moscow to Pullman, the two end points of the trail. Also there can be a strong wind from the SW. So keep these two facts in mind when take off. The trail is well marked, wonderfully maintained, smooth surfaced with great views of the rolling wheat fields of the Palouse. It also connects to the Paradise Trail system in Moscow and through to the Latah Trail to the city of Troy. Good for roller blades too.

Not much traffic noise

"Although the trail does parallel the 4-lane road, we have to say that with the wind blowing, we barely heard any traffic noise. There is a nice buffer of green space between the trail and road on most of the pathway which was visually appealing along with providing a ""comfort-zone"" for riding. The green hills and wildflowers added to the beauty. Overall, we had a great ride on this path. Thank you Rails-to-Trails!"

"The Chipman Trail is an amazing 8-mile trail between Pullman, WA, (WSU) and Moscow, ID (UI), through the rolling Palouse. It is pristinely paved with minimal traffic and winds its way along a stream for a short time, past solo trees and a few horses or cows depending on the season. It has beautiful purple, yellow and white wildflowers along with high wheat fields at the peak of the season. It's a fabulous journey east and can get a bit windy for those heading West, which makes the journey even that more exhilarating. I've left Washington state for Washington, DC now and I must say one of the things I miss is my daily blade on the Chipman Trail. Enjoy and say ""Hi"" to the Palouse for me! :)"
