1120 Adventure HCM fork - Stache

NH Mtbiker

  • Add to quote

Just found out that the same fork offered on the new Stache 1120 will be sold through Trek as a stand-alone option. They are on backorder right now and go for $400. Good news for older Stache frames or even other 29+ frames looking for a better carbon fork with extra mounts! My main concern on this new model is how it compares to the current stock Stache fork in geometry. Is it taller, making the HA steeper? I do like all the mounting options, but would not prefer a longer fork. Tough to get actual fork numbers through Trek. :madman: The 1120 has a new fork, the 1120 Adventure HCM Carbon. Unlike the 2016 Trek Stache 5 that came with a rigid carbon Bontrager Bowie fork in the standard 100mm width, this new fork uses the BOOST 110mm spacing. All of the 2017 Trek Stache models came with suspension forks using the BOOST 110mm, no rigid forks were offered on any of their plus bikes. The 1120 Adventure HCM Carbon fork allows for mounting of the proprietary front rack as well as accessory mounts that allow for bikepacking accessories such as the Widefoot Designs Liter Cage, Salsa Anything Cage, or Blackburn Outpost Cargo Cage. :thumbsup:  

Looks like a-c is 510mm. Not sure how that compares to the suspension forks.

At 510 a-c I think this fork is spot on! Was also looking at the Niner boost RDO fork which is listed at 490 a-c. Looking to mount a rigid carbon fork to a 17 Stache frame, without changing the HA too much. I would also need to have rack mounts for bikepacking, so this HCM fork looks to be the answer! For reference, here are the AC heights for several common forks. Note that these measurements are often consistent across multiple models of the same manufacturer, but check to be sure. ROCKSHOX PIKE 120mm (27.5): 512mm AC 100mm (29+): 523mm AC 110mm (29+): 533mm AC MANITOU MACHETE 120mm (27.5): 516mm AC 100mm (29): 510mm AC 120mm (29): 530mm AC FOX 34 100mm (29): 517mm AC 120mm (29): 527mm AC 100mm (27.5+): 515mm AC 120mm (27.5+): 525mm AC  

Got mine last week...one of the last they had in stock. No trail time yet, but sure looks purty.

Nice ride! Any feedback - ride report on the fork and overall bike yet? How much of the steer tube did you cut off?....looks to be stacked up!  

This fork looks taller to me than the standard carbon fork on the Stache. Maybe just an optical illusion or something. I guess a bit taller fork would slacken the HA but would also make the front wander some on steep climbs. Still a great fork for 4 bills!  

I want this for the Stache build in my mind. Wouldn't mind a 530 A2C though. I'm running a 140 Yari  

huckleberry hound

A2C for the Yari @120mm is 543mm.  

Sagged?  

A2C for a Yari Boost 29+ 120 is 543. A2C for a Yari Boost 29+ 140 is 563. Running 25-30% sag, 521-528 A2C would work well for me.  

I've got a size large Stache frame just sitting in a box...if I can't sell it, I think a rigid setup just might be perfect.  

How much?  

Around 500 since that's what I paid for my XL  

Carbon frame? What year?  

Lol, carbon for 5 bills... Nope. Heck, an aluminum frame is over a grand now. I figure in the neighborhood of half price is fair'ish. It's a '17. It's the only Large on eBay right now. You can see it there.  

Anyone else found a fork similar to this?^^ Like the fork at 510mm a/c. Also looking for a chiner carbon in 500 to 510mm for the Stache, but having a hard time finding one. Plus the 1120 fork is not currently in stock at my Trek dealer. Not really liking other options under 500mm a/c size.  

Mitch@Trek

We don't have them in stock at the east coast distribution center in Charcoal, but we have them in Trek Black. But your LBS can backorder one to have it arrive when in stock. As for another option, I personally haven't seen another like this one out there.  

Not to dig up an old thread, but I got my 1120 fork today, What fork race did you change to? It seems like the one off my pike is different. Actually, they both measure 39.8, it just seems like the one on the pike was tapered and easy to set. The one on the stache is straight and a real tight fit. I might just need to man up. Thanks!

(edited, fork's no longer available) I've got one of these 1120 Adventure forks laying around for a build I never got to. PM me if interested.  

Is it black? How much? email me ryan dot feagan @ g mail  

Sorry about that. I pulled the fork out to take photos and started looking at it and decided to get back to doing a rigid Stache build.  

If interested in selling, email [email protected]

What is the offset of this fork?

Reviving this old thread to find out if any of you 1120 fork owners ever weighed that bad boy and don't mind sharing its stats. Fingers crossed!  

I believe the 1120 fork weighs in around 600 g. Trek does not seem to have these for sale an longer, go figure. They do carry Whisky No. 9 https://www.trekbicyclesuperstore.com/product/whisky-parts-co.-no.9-mountain-fork-371338-1.htm  

The 1120 fork is still available on the dealer site in both black and charcoal.  

I just noticed the fork doesn't come with an axle. Does it require a specific one, or can I use any 15 x 110 boost axle? EDIT: Finally got a knowledgeable Trek rep on the phone who knew the thread pitch, axle length, and so forth.  

I’m looking for the same info! Bought a sram maxle stealth assuming it would fit but it was the wrong thread pitch :madman: Do you know what the correct thread is? Thanks!  

Really? Wow! The thread pitch supposedly is M15 x 1.5 and the length and length 158 mm, exactly what the maxle stealth dimensions are. You saying it doesn't fit worries me. They really should have provided an axle with the fork to make this more simple. Did you get the boost maxle?

Trek 1120 (29+) Adventure Bike Review

trek adventure fork

The Trek 1120 isn’t a new bike. It’s been around for a couple of years now. From the time that I saw an early photo of one of the rack prototypes, I’ve been intrigued by the cargo-carrying (bikepacking) capacity of the 1120 and its signature integrated rack system. The 1120 is very similar to a Trek Stache 29+ Wheels mounted to a pretty unique aluminum frame. The 1120 shares the same symmetrical elevated chainstay and adjustable Stranglehold dropouts, but it’s 15 mm longer than the Stache to accommodate loaded touring.

trek adventure fork

I know a lot of people hate-on the big 3 US bike brands, but in the case of the 1120, Trek designed, prototyped and then manufactured a sophisticated and elegant example of an omni-terrain adventure bike with the 1120. They created a bike that can cover everything from mountain bike singletrack to almost anyplace on earth bikepacking. The drive-side chainstay is what allows the Stache and the 1120 to handle so well. I’m used to a longer wheelbase 29+ rigid bike and the shorter chainstays of the 1120 make it handle twisty singletrack with less body english and (probably) faster. I say short cahinstays and moderately slack head angles for the win!

That being said… I’ve heard rumblings about the same issues that always come up with elevated chainstays. Bottom bracket flex and cracked frames. I didn’t experience either of those two things but if you want to run a singlespeed drive train, you might run into bb-flex issues. I ran the stock Shimano 1×10 drivetrain and the 1120 felt solid and handled an impressive variety of adventures over this past summer.

trek adventure fork

I’ve owned a Surly Krampus since they were introduced so during the test period I was able to experience back to back ride comparisons between the two bikes. It was a lot closer than I would have predicted., but I like the 1120 better than my Krampus. The 1120 has a dropper-post. (I could put a dropper on the Krampus) The 1120 handles slightly better on singletrack and somehow also managed to easily cover one hell of a lot gravel, asphalt, chip-seal and rail-trail. The 1120 replaced both my Surly Crosscheck and Krampus this summer and this past summer was the summer that I got my groove back.

This past spring I had some minor surgery that I’d been putting off for years and during the pre-surgery doctor visits, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. After the surgery, I couldn’t ride for six weeks. This was back in March. The time off of the bike made me appreciate my passion for riding and ya kwow….(stay’n alive). So I’ve changed my diet and dedicated myself to riding six days a week in hopes of returning to some modicum of physical fitness. The plan has worked (my last A1C was 5.5) and I’ve lost a bit of weight along the way. For most of that time period, I rode the 1120 for almost all of my riding. It was my gravel bike, mountain bike, bikepacking and packrafting platform. I even took the 1120 to gnomefest. I tried to utilize this ‘Swiss Army Knife’ in every way that I could come up with. I guess what I’m trying to say is that my review is based on a lot of time in the saddle during a summer that I have come to appreciate more than words can express.

Enough about me, let’s talk about the bike – The matte gray frame and fork is contrasted by orange racks and downtube graphics. The racks are what drew me to the 1120 and that’s what most of the questions center around when people see the bike. They post “what racks are those?” The answer is that they’re made by Trek just for the 1120. The front rack attaches to the crown of the fork and the rear rack attaches to the back of the chainstays. Four bolts do the trick for either rack and they come on and off easy enough.

The 1120 also comes with a pair of drybag holders designed to mount on the rear rack. They have two large velcro straps and five ‘C-Clips’ to hold an 8-10L drybag in place as a mini pannier. The rack positions the bags so they don’t get in the way when you’re pushing your loaded bike up some steep sketchy goat trail. Trek Product Manager, David Studner shared that Travis Brown had done field testing during the development of the 1120 and had valuable input into the design of the bike’s racks. David also shared that the development team took a fresh look at how riders were using bikepacking bags to carry gear. The 1120’s racks are the product of the team’s fresh design intent.

The 1120 came with a set of 29×3.0 Chupacabras mounted tubeless to a set of SUNringle Duroc 50 SL rims laced to Bontrager Alloy hubs. The star of the wheels is the Chupacabras. Trek changed the name and now they’re called the XR2. I love these tires as an all-conditions do everything low rolling resistance tire. It’s a great choice for a swiss army bike/knife. Singletrack at 11 psi and gravel/pavement at 15psi seemed to be the sweet spot for traction sweet chewiness. (I want a pair for my Krampus). Six months of riding and the wheels were quiet, solid performers. I never experienced a flat tire or any other problems with the wheels, but I think that the rear thru-axle on our test demo might be haunted. Periodically, when I’d go to ride the 1120 the rear T/A would be loose. I’d tighten it up and it would be fine for a while, but then without warning, it would happen again. I think that my wife might be mess’n with me or we have some sort of a lefty-lucy spirit out in the garage.

trek adventure fork

The racks make loading the 1120 with camping gear a cinch. The front rack makes it a two strap show. I think that’s four fewer straps that I need with my handlebar mount set-up. The very first thing that I did with the 1120 this spring was take a trip to Iowa City and do an overnight gravel/camp with Adam Blake and a couple of other dudes. I was able to carry way too much stuff on that trip.

trek adventure fork

I did a three-day tour in the Kettle Moraine State Forest that I’d been daydreaming about for years on the 1120. The bike’s big wheels really come into play during off-road touring. The 1120 is a very capable mountain bike and those big wheels roll over anything in their path.

trek adventure fork

I went packrafting with the 1120 this summer. I rode out to Lake Mills and paddled across Rock Lake and then pedaled back to the ranch. The last trip that I took on the 1120, JP and I followed a route that I created with the Wahoo Elemnt Roam that I’m learning to enjoy? We rode up to one of our favorite MTB trails through the Black River State Forest near Wisconsin’s elk herd and wolf pack(s).

trek adventure fork

About the only gripe that I have with the 1120 is the bars that came with the standard build aren’t really my cup of tea, but who knows…you might love them. I swapped them out to a set of Fatback Sweet 16 carbon bars after a handful of rides and rode happily ever after.

trek adventure fork

The smurfy summer of 2019 was made all the more splendid because of my time spent turning the pedals on this bike. The 1120 is one hell of a lot of adventurebike for the $2649 price tag ecspecially when you take into consideration the racks and accessories that come with the bike. I’d throw this bike at just about any adventure that a 3″ tire can handle. This thing can carry more than you need and delivers one of the most versatile fully rigid, adventure bike platforms that I’ve experienced…plus it rides real nice!

One Response to Trek 1120 (29+) Adventure Bike Review

I’m thinking it is time for Trek to bring the 1120 and Stache up to date in terms of rim and tire width. Old school 3.0 tires on i45 rims are becoming obsolete. I would prefer to have the 1120 and Stache come with 2.6-2.8 tires on i30-35 rims. With the narrower tires/rims you still get most of the Plus goodness but with a lot less weight. And replacement wheels, if needed, are much easier to get. Wheels with i45 rims just aren’t that common now days.

Trek 1120 Review: Is It The Best Touring Bike?

  • By Daniel Shakibaie
  • Mountain Bike , Trek Bikes

Trek 1120 Review

The Trek 1120 Touring bike is for bicyclists who want to take on all terrains. It has a rugged, durable frame that is also lightweight. This model is perfect for backpacking trips and bike tours because it has a heavy-duty rear rack system for hauling gear.

It is ready to go for mountain trails and more. It is built to take on any kind of terrain, no matter how rough. It is made by Trek bikes who specialize in manufacturing touring/mountain bikes for adventure rides. All of the features and components are optimized for most extreme backcountry destinations and off-road adventures.

The streamlined design has a sporty black and orange color scheme. Compared with similar mountain bikes, the Trek 1120 is lighter, faster and has more storage room. The 29+ tires are very forgiving of all terrains. One of the larger tires’ benefits is that they offer more traction, which makes for a more stable ride over bumps. It doubles as a trail bike, but it really shines for it’s off-trail capabilities.

One of the features that makes it great for bike tours is high-capacity racks and holsters for storage. This bike is best used for trails that are off the beaten path. For regular everyday riding, such as the commute to work in the city, this bike is not going to be the best choice for you because of the aggressive riding position. If you are looking for adventure, then you will love everything that this tour bike has to offer.

Things to Consider Before Buying a Touring Bike

trek 1120 bike

The most important thing for you to consider when shopping for a touring bike is what terrains you plan on taking on. The Trek 1120 doubles as an off-trail and on-trail bike, but its features are most optimized for taking on the roughest of terrains. It is high-performance when it comes to rocky and rough terrains, but if you plan on sticking to trails, then there are better options. For adventurous individuals who need an awesome mountain bike made for off-road adventures, this bike is a great choice.

Bike Frame Materials: When shopping for a touring bike to take on bike tours, the bike frame materials are very important because this is where most of the weight of the bike comes from. The Trek 1120 is made out of a carbon or aluminum frame, which is very lightweight yet durable.

Gears: The bike gears are what allow for the bike to reach certain speeds and determine how it handles going up/downhills. For speed and for climbing slopes there are different gears. Different types of bikes require different gearing settings. The Trek 1120 has gears that are great for trails, but it could use more gears for making climbing steep hills better.

Seat and Handlebars: The seating and positioning of the handlebars determine what riding position you will be in. The Trek 1120 has an aggressive riding position which is best for off-roading tours. It has a dropper seat post which makes it easy to get on and off the bike.

Brakes: The braking system on the bike is essential to consider for safety. The faster you plan on going, the better braking system you will need.

Features & Benefits

The features and benefits of the Trek 1120 are geared towards performance on extreme terrains. It can double as an on-trail bike as well. Here is a detailed overview of the features and their benefits.

Frame

The frame of the Trek 1120 is made with durable aluminum and carbon. It is made out of Alpha Platinum Aluminum which is exclusive to the Trek brand of bikes. The rear rack system adds some additional weight, but does not slow the bike down. You can remove the storage or rear rack for greater speed as a mountain bike. The frame of the bike is designed based on Trek’s innovative Stache platform. It has many similarities to the Stache model, but with a few changes that make it more suited for off-trail performance.

The frame of the 1120 is extremely rugged as it is made to take on any sort of terrain. Because of how rugged the frame is, it does weigh a little more than some of the similar mountain bikes by Trek. Compared with a steel frame, carbon and aluminum are more lightweight. The downside to aluminum is that it is noisier than steel, but keeping it well greased will eliminate any creaking noises.

Another thing to consider about the frame is geometry. This is important to consider when choosing which size of the bike is best for you because height is not the only factor. Arm and leg length can vary for different heights, and so both the individual dimensions and the geometry of the frame contribute to the overall comfort and performance.

Frame Sizes:

  • 15.5 in/Small – Rider height 5’ – 5’5
  • 17.5 in/Medium – Rider height 5’3 – 5’8
  • 19.5 in/Large – Rider height 5’8 – 6’2
  • 21.5 in/Extra-Large – 6’1 – 6’5

Specifications:

  • Alpha Platinum Aluminum
  • Tapered head tube
  • Internal derailleur & drop post routing
  • Proprietary rack mounts
  • Horizontal sliding dropouts
  • 12MM thru-axle

Suspension System

Suspension System

The suspension system is what insulates the rider from the roughness of the terrain. For adventure bikes, the suspension system is one of the most important things to consider because it will determine how smooth of a ride you can get on rough trails.

The Trek 1120 is outfitted with a Carbon Adventure Fork. The carbon fork suspension on the Trek 1120 is so good that many people wonder if it will be sold as a separate part for use with other bikes. Right now, the carbon fork is only available in pre-assembled bikes by Trek.

This suspension system is highly effective for insulating the rider for bikepacking trips which is the main function of the Trek 1120. The bike can easily glide over bumps like rocks and sticks without causing sudden jolts to the rider.

Wheel

One of the standout features of the Trek 1120 is the large 29+ wheels. These wheels roll fast and offer great traction. For bumpy terrains, the large wheels help to absorb much of the impact from below. The wheels are 3+ inches wide which creates strong traction with the ground to keep the bike stable in all circumstances. With the rims on these wheels you can go tubeless. Tubeless rims allow you to reduce the tire pressure to prevent flats.

The materials used to manufacture the wheels are very strong. You can use this bike for tours with total confidence that the large, steady wheels will be highly resistant to wear and tear from the terrain. The most important benefit of the wheels of the Trek 1120 is that they are stable, strong, and create strong traction. The wheels are 28-spokes and are fairly solid, but when the bike becomes airborne, there is a small chance of the spokes becoming damaged, so keep this in mind.

  • Back and front hub & skewer by Bontrager
  • SUNringle Duroc 50 SL rims with tubeless tape included
  • 28-spokes made out of stainless steel
  • Bontrager tubeless-ready wheels with inner strength sidewalls

Gear

The Trek 1120 has all of the gears that you should need for long rides over difficult terrains. The only downside to the gearing system that we could find is that some people have reported that they wish the bike had gears to make climbs easier.

The wide range of 1x drivetrain is simple and effective. The 1x drivetrain is one of the features which makes the bike ready for mountain bikes. The gearing works great for gravel roads and for mountain trails. This mountain bike has a wide range of capabilities from flat terrain to extreme off-road touring.

The Trek 1120 has a range of 11-gears. The gearing system is top-quality and makes this bike versatile for both off-trail and on-trail tours. Most touring bikes manufactured this year have a 1 x 11 gear set, including the 1120.

All of the drivetrain gear components and shifters are made by Shimano. Shifting gears with this system is easy and it stays in the gear that you want without accidentally shifting out. You can use the gears to go over different terrains without damaging the chain. 

  • Shimano SLX M7100 12-speed shifter
  • 30T alloy ring crank with 52MM chainline

Brake

The Trek 1120 uses a hydraulic brake system. Hydraulic disc brakes are highly effective for making quick stops even in wet conditions. The brake system is made by Shimano. It has a 6-bolt Shimano RT56 brake rotor. Hydraulic braking systems offer the most powerful stopping power. You can trust this bike to come to a clean stop even in water or mud .

Compared to mechanical brakes, hydraulic brakes are high-performance in all weather conditions. Mechanical brakes use a cables system, while hydraulic brakes use pressure to force the hydraulic fluid to activate the brake pads.

  • Shimano 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes
  • MT4100 lever
  • MT420 caliper

The manufacturer Trek has their own brand of components called Bontrager. This means they can create high-quality components that are streamlined for their bikes’ performance, and most of their mountain bikes come pre-assembled with options for modifications. Trek has partnered with professional mountain bikers to promote their products and even has a scholarship program to promote diversity in cycling.

The Trek 1120 is very similar to the Stache. They look very similar and the Trek 1120 borrows many of the same stylistic components as the Stache, but they vary somewhat in performance. One of the features that is different on the Trek 1120 is that it has a longer chainstay.

This, along with the shorter tube and steeper head angle, all work together to make the Trek 1120 better for rough, off-trail terrains than the Stache. The Trek 1120 is optimized for lower speeds and rougher terrain than the Stache,

Trek 1120 vs Trek 920

The Trek 1120 is a bikepacking bike whereas the Trek 920 is a conventional touring bike. The 920 has 12-speeds compared to the 1120, which has 11. There is a lot more room for storage on the Trek 1120 than the 920.

They are similar in that they both have an aluminum frame and hydraulic brake system. Trek 1120 has a more aggressive riding position which is better for rougher terrains, and the Trek 920 is more comfortable for riding on long rides with lots of road and flat trails.

The Trek 1120 is a powerful, durable touring bike that is best used when you need a bike that can handle all kinds of terrains. For road use, the riding position of the bike is a little too aggressive to be comfortable for long periods. It shines the most when used for touring that requires lower speeds and over off-road terrains. It has a great rear rack system for storing your gear on your tour. It is a top-rated mountain bike for adventurous cyclists.

Trek 1120 Bikepacker Review

  • Weight 15,34 kg (complete)
  • Size 17,5″
  • Price € 2699 / $ 2649,99 

The Trek 1120 is a bikepacker that comes off the shelve complete with racks so you can start your first bikepacking adventure almost overnight. But is it any good? Read the review and watch the video!

Trek Adventure Family

The Trek 1120 Bikepacker is part of the Trek Adventure Family that consists of the 520 – a classic touring bike with a steel frame  -, the 920 – a more gravel orientated touring bike with an aluminum frame – and the 1120 Bikepacker, the Hummer of the family. Expect a review on the Trek 520 later this year!

The riding position is sort of sportive due to the low and curve handlebar.

Trek 1120 Frame

The total weight of the Trek 1120 is 14,17 kg according to Trek. I measured my testbike – size 17,5 – at 15,34 kg including pedals, racks and cargowebbing. The weight is fine for this kind of a bike. Trek doesn’t provide the weight of the frame, but I am curious to know.

The heart of the Trek 1120 is an aluminum frame – Alpha Platinium Aluminum – with a very sloped top tube. Those of you who know the Trek brand might see the resemblance with the Trek Stache. And that is in fact the inspiration for the 1120. The rear end of the frame is quite special. The chain stay on the right side – where the chain is situated – is above the chain itself while on the left side the chain stay is at its normal low position. The construction on the right side is officially called a mid stay and deals with the problem on fitting large 29” tires and not making the wheelbase longer than necessary. Explanation in the video! For a bike that should handle nimble you don’t want a too long wheelbase. That said: if you compare the chainstay length of the 1120 to the one of the Stache the 1120 is a bit longer enhancing the climbing capabilities of the 1120. At the rear you find a 148 mm BOOST hub with a 15 mm axel. 

The Trek 1120 is a bikepacker that comes off the shelve complete with racks so you can start your first bikepacking adventure almost overnight.

Adjustable dropouts: Stranglehold dropouts

Talking on chain stay length: the dropouts on the rear are adjustable in the horizontal direction. Thanks to these so-called ‘Stranglehold dropouts’ one can easily adjust the wheelbase over a length of 15 mm from 525 mm-540 mm to the circumstances or your riding style. On more demanding fast turning curvy tracks you might want a more nimble bike – so a shorter wheel base – and on a longer less curve distances you might prefer the a more stable ride, so a longer wheel base.

The Trek 1120 has dropouts that can adjusted to play with the wheelbase over a length of 15 mm.

Bottle holders

The frame has three points to store bottle holders: one in the seatpost, one on the inside of the downtube and one on the outside of the downtube. I used only the two inside the frame but if you use a triangular bag in the frame you need the lower outside one. On the outside downtube you can fit a large 1.5 bottle holder.

The Trek 1120 has plenty of space foor bottle-cages.

Carbon fork

The fork of the Trek 1120 is made of carbon but the alloy steerer tube bonded in to it. Totally carbon would not be possible off course. The fork itself is a thing of beauty. On the crown four holes with integrated nuts hold the front rack. On the lower end of the fork three holes with integrated nuts on both sides give you the possibility to attach low rider racks or bottle-holders to expend the carrying possibilities of the 1120. Like most Trek mountainbikes the fork has the 110 mm BOOST spacing to fit the 110 mm BOOST hubs. The axel is a 15 mm thick one to provide loads of stability while braking. 

The fork on the Trek 1120 is made out of aluminum.

As mentioned above the front rack is mounted directly to the forks crown with four hex bolts. It is quite easy to attach or detach so you can use the Trek 1120 also as a mountainbike. The rack I weighted at 442,2 grams on my precise scale. The load capacity of the rack is 7 kilograms and that is enough weight to put on the front end of a bike that high. With low riders on touring bikes I normally go to the max of 10 kg in total and that is possible because it keeps the center of gravity quite low. With the high mounted rack on the Trek 1120 the center of gravity is not ideal so less weight is better.

The front rack's shape is like an excavator: super!

I put a lightweight MSR Freelight 1 tent (1130 grams) on it together with some small stuff I need on the go. Super is the shape of the rack: it’s a sort of shovel shape you find on large road construction trucks and it wraps around the luggage. Next to that the rack has many pints you can attach or hook cargo-webbing around. Or just to twee simple velcro straps like I did. The fact that the rack is connected to the fork and not to the head tube has its benefits: the rack moves in the direction you steer and I found that a very logical thing. Also if you turn the track in front of the bike is more visible. I once tested a Bikepacker with the rack mounted to the head tube and I found corning a very weird experience.

For the rack in the rear a lot is similar to the one in the front. It is attached to the frame on four points with four hex bolts. This makes the rack one solid extension to the frame and 12 kg of cargo is allowed. This is good for the balance especially on fast curvy downhill tracks. The rack is easy to detach and weighs 701 grams (1188,7 with webbing). The rack is shaped nicely around the rear wheel and has a fixture to bolt a light or a reflector to.

The rear rack is one solid extension to the frame and 12 kg of cargo is allowed.

With the Trek 1120 and the rack come two harnesses that are designed for the rack and that will store two large dry bags. The harnesses are easy to adjust and are made of a solid material. The compression straps are closed with neat aluminum buckles. The harness also has a row of loops that are very practical in connecting more stuff on the outside of the harness. I like the Trek approach with the harnesses because it works well with a lot of different dry bags. Since most of us have already a vast collection of dry bags, buying new gear is not necessary. It also works with ultra cheap garbage bags. Need more space? On top of the rear rack it is easy to fit a waterproof duffle. This also prevents your back from getting dirty and wet…

The Trek 1120 is a fine touring companion and dreaming of future adventures is part of the fun.

SRAM Brakes

The brakes on the Trek 1120 are SRAM Level T hydraulic disc brakes. The front and rear feature a 180 mm disk. Both calibers have two pistons. The brake levers are short so they don’t get stuck behind branches and aren’t easily damaged in the occasional tumble. On the levers you find a small hex screw to adjust to position of the lever to smaller or bigger hands. Although the SRAM Level T brake sets are not the newest on the market and basically a budget level set, they do well on the 1120. Brake power is more than sufficient and you don’t need a lot of strength in the fingers to come to fast full stop. Not even fully loaded.

The front and the rear discs measure 180 mm.

11-speed gears

Totally in line with the ongoing trend on fitting cross country mountainbikes with a 1 x 11 set gearset, Trek does the same with the 1120. The front features a 30 teeth sprocket and on the rear Trek mounted an 11-46 cassette. Al drivetrain gear parts are Shimano: SLX M7000 shifters en rear derailleur.

Shadow Plus

The later is equipped with Shadow Plus technique. With Shadow Plus you can fix the derailleur so that is doesn’t hop around when riding over a bumpy terrain resulting in a smoother ride with less change of derailing the chain. It also prevents the ‘klettering’ noise when the chain hits the chain stay and the scratching the chain stay as an extra. The Shimano SLX is also a bit of an entry level set but it works fine. Shifting upwards is possible one-by-one or three sprockets in one go. Shifting down go’s one-by-one like pulling the trigger on a gun. The Shimano SLX system never failed me and I rather have this than the more expensive sets. 

The 11-speed drivetrain on the Trek 1120 is mainly from Shimano.

Bontrager components

Trek uses of course a lot of Bontrager components on the Trek 1120. For those who don’t know: Bontrager is Treks own component brand. The Bontrager parts are the 110 en 148 BOOST hubs, the Montrose Comp saddle, the Drop Line 125 drop seatpost, the Crivitz handlebar, the Race Lite grips and the Elite stem.  The Chupacabra 29 x 3.00” tires are also from Bontrager but the rims are from SUNringlé: Duroc 50 SL with 28 spokes. For so far the technical part, now lets ride!

The saddle on the Trek 1120 is a hard one and not comfy enough for touring.

I have been testing the bike on- and off road. During long flat hauls with headwind guaranteed and nice twisty, bumpy single trails in the forest. I consider the Trek 1120 to be a hybrid: a mix between an old-fashioned mountainbike (with modern state of art geometry) without suspension and a touring bike. 

The big tires absorb a lot and compensate the very stiff fork.

The performance is overall fine. The bike handles well. I did ride it with the rear wheel in the front dropout position and in the rear position. If you like tight cornering than the front position is better, but I liked the bit more relaxed ‘long wheelbase’ position generally more. Since I changed to that position I don’t feel the urge to change it back again. The dropper seat post with the remote on the handle bar worked fine and I like dropper posts a lot because of their purpose on steep trails, but also to change the riding position on long distance travels. 

The Bontrager tires with their small profile are generally fine. Grippy in sand and mud, fine on tarmac or other hard surfaces. They are tubeless-ready which saves weight but on touring bikes I’d use tubes. The brakes performed well. They are easy to adjust and they don’t need much force to apply maximum stopping power. Also on loose surfaces they are quite forgiving.  The same for the Shimano shifters and derailleur: easy to use, accurate and no miss shifting here. 

The Bontrager Chupacabra tires with their small profile are generally fine.

The racks are an example to other manufacturers: this is how it should be done if you build a Bikepacker. The racks are solid, they are one with bike and the load capacity is enough for the ‘minimalistic’ Bikepacker approach. I do like the multi-functional harnesses!

Ridecomfort

As a mentioned before: I did ride the bike on longer straight distances and on twisty trails. And now I have to write something about ridecomfort. 

If you intend to use the Trek 1120 as a Mountain Bike Bikepacker for shorter ‘weekend’ trips, than I don’t have much to beef about. Those kinds of rides are mostly very dynamic with not to much time in saddle. If you use it as a Touring Bike Bikepacker… I do have some issues.

On longer hauls the position on the bike is sort of comfortable. I noticed that the position on the bike is quite sportive. Due to the special shape of the handlebar there is quite some weight on the wrists and with this handlebar there is not a lot you can do about this. I found the downward twist of the handlebar just a little bit off. The same for The riding position is sort of sportive due to the low and curve handlebar. Saddle and handlebar are very personal choices so let me know if you feel different. In the coming weeks I will try some different handlebar and saddle configurations and keep you posted on this development.

The handlebar is 720 mm wide but I don't like the downwards curve.

A last little remark is the front end of the Trek 1120. The frame is stiff and I like it. The carbon fork is a bit to stiff to my liking. If you ride a lot on smoother roads it is not a problem although with the tires well inflated you feel almost every small bump. On bumpy trails you need to pay attention to the pressure in the tires. Too hard: the ride will be uncomfortable and the front will bounce a lot; too soft, no bouncing but it takes a lot of energy. So carefully tuning and experimenting is advised.

One final thing: be aware that the Trek 1120 is rated for 136 kilograms in total. So rider, cargo and bike!

In the months that I’ve testing the Trek 1120 I’ve enjoyed it a lot and riding is generally a pleasure. As a Bikepacker it is capable of carrying a good load and the racks are top notch. I also liked the easy effective storage harnesses. The hydraulic operated disc brakes are fine and shifting through gears is precise. The position on the bike is quite sporty. The shape of the handle bar is not to my liking as is the very hard saddle. The big beefie tires give a lot of comfort if ridden with the right tire pressure in relation to the road/track circumstances. Especially the carbon fork is demanding a good deal of pressure tuning: bring a pump! Overall the Trek 1120 is solid Bikepacker that is capable of off-road adventures to long distance traveling. The price of  € 2699 or $ 2649,99 is decent. I rate the the Trek 1120 Bikepacker at 9.0/10 points.

The New 2016 Trek 920, 720, 520 and Crossrip Touring Bikes

' src=

Table of Contents

The 2016 trek 920 adventure touring bike, the trek 720 light touring bike, the trek crossrip light touring bike, the trek 520 long distance touring bike, want to compare these touring bikes with dozens of others, helpful resources, touring & bikepacking bike overview.

Trek have recently been busy building one of the most comprehensive adventure and touring bike line ups around. There are now SEVEN  different bikes, including the 2016 Trek 920, which are suited to everything from road touring right through to adventure off-road. I’ve put this resource together to guide you through the different models and help determine what might best suit you.

2016 Trek 920 Disc

The 2016 Trek 920 is a tweaked mountain bike with a drop handlebar. It’s designed around wide, knobby mountain bike tyres which can take you to more places than slicks. It uses a mountain bike drivetrain and wheels, in combination with drop handlebars and bar-end shifters.

Although the 2016 Trek 920 is best suited to off-road riding, a swap-out to slick tyres would make it an exceptional long-distance touring bike. The geometry is actually prime for heavy-loaded touring with it’s high ‘fork trail’, long chainstay/wheelbase and tall front end. That said, the gearing is optimised around lower speeds, so the 42t front chainring may have you spinning a bit on road descents.

The bike price including front and rear racks is US $1989 .

The 720 is one of Trek’s lightweight touring options. It uses an alloy frame and carbon fibre fork to keep the weight down (11kg or so), making it a great multi-purpose bike like the Cannondale Touring. It comes with Shimano 105 11-spd gearing, TRP Hydro/Cable disc brakes and some front side-mount racks and dry bags.

The 720 is best suited to smooth roads with a lightweight load, although it’s a really sturdy bike and will handle front and rear panniers if you needed. It’s smallest gear is 29 gear inches, which is a little large for really steep hills including a load, but will be fine for most touring. There are eyelets for racks and fenders.

The price is US $1889 including the front dry bags.

The CrossRip is almost identical to the 720 in every way – it even uses the same aluminium frame tubing and carbon fibre fork. The geometry is ever so slightly different between the bikes; you’d be pretty hard pressed to notice the subtle differences. The most noticeable difference may be the 5mm taller and longer front end of the CrossRip. The likely reason for Trek having these two near-identical bikes is so they can market the bikes in two separate bike categories (fitness and touring).

Like the 720, CrossRips are most at home on a smooth road with a light load but will handle four panniers well. The bikes use either compact or road triple cranksets, working with wide-range cassettes to achieve a lowish drive gear (close to 1:1 / 29 gear inches). The bikes have eyelets for racks and fenders.

The CrossRip is available in three different builds. The LTD comes with Shimano 105 11-spd gearing and TRP Hydro/Cable disc brakes and is priced at US $1679 . Next up, the Elite uses Shimano Sora 9-spd gearing and cable disc brakes and is US $1199 . For a bit less money again, you can get the Comp with Shimano Claris 8-spd gearing at US $1099 . If you’re tossing up between the CrossRip LTD and 720, go the CrossRip as it has a US $200 price advantage!

The 520 has been in the Trek line-up for 33 years! It’s actually the longest running model in Trek’s bike range. As you can imagine, the geometry of the 520 has been refined a lot over this period. The bottom bracket is low, the chainstays are long and the steering pretty slow. All good things for touring.

The 520 uses 4130 steel for both the frame and fork. The spec is super simple, solid and reliable with 36 spoke wheels, cable brakes and bar-end shifters. The gear range is exceptional, spanning from 22 to 118 gear inches. This should be enough to climb almost anything with all four panniers, but if you wanted even more low gears you could switch the cassette to a 34t (21 gear inches).

The price is US $1259 with v-brakes and US $1359 with disc brakes. My pick would be the disc model!

The Bikepacking Bike Buyer’s Guide does the same thing, however, with a focus on lighter bikes and models with more off-road capability.

Hi Alee. I just got the 920 on Friday and took it riding on the weekend!

It had about 15 kgs on it, about 75% rear loaded (until the front panniers arrive; also to give the rear wheel a bit of settling in before I head on a bigger trip). At first I thought it was not handling too good with the weight, but then I got the rear panniers forward and the weight properly L/R balanced …amazing difference 🙂 I’m new to this.

I did about 60 kms on tarmac undulating country roads around Tatong and then I’m not sure maybe about 60kms without much load (~7kg on rear) on state park clay road, gravel track, and variously more difficult track. I had lots of fun finding the boundaries (mainly mine), not being used to that type of bike or tyres. It felt well behaved and definitely good for a bit of fun with my limited off road experience. As I practiced picking lines and committing, ignoring obstacles etc, my confidence in what the bike was doing was rewarded.

I was running Schwalbe Marathons, as recommended elsewhere in your blog (pumped hard on the tarmac, soft off). The hums along the tarmac and tracks straight.

Really happy with the choice…found some things for me to learn about riding with weight and off sealed roads, got my body worn out in the sun, dust and hills, had heaps if fun. Successful foray into trekking with panniers 🙂

Sounds like you’ve made a great choice!

Hey Alee Given the 720 is cheaper than the crossrip at my local dealer? Which one would be the better option? I’ve more or less settled on the 720 since it to me looks lighter and with better specs. 🙂

They really are almost identical in spec and geometry. Go with the 720 if you like that better!

I had the Trek 728 back in 1982 and it was perfect. Unfortunately, I sold it in 1986. I am getting ready for a TransAmerican Bike Trail 4,000 mile trip. Which TREK is the right one for this kind of trip with four panniers all around? The 520? What year?

Trek 1120 Review

A bikepacker’s fantasy, 1120. A touring bike with limitless off-road potential is made possible with a tough all-terrain frame, 29+ tyres, a built-in rack system, and mountain-ready components like a 1x drivetrain. This bike is made to travel to the most remote backcountry locations in the globe, but it’s also perfect for quick overnight bikepacking excursions and sub-24s.

Specification

  pros & cons, c heck specifications here.

You should consider it if you respect independence, value freedom, and want a vehicle for off-road travel and bikepacking in areas where other bikes can’t go. Trek 1120 is intended for the eccentric and nocturnal personalities among us. Trek 1120 is the vessel to use if filling in the final unexplored areas of the map is your thing.

A wide-range 1×12 Shimano drivetrain, a carbon fork, our custom rack system, included bag holsters that secure and protect 8L dry bags of your choice, Shimano 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes for superior stopping power, 29+ tyres, and a Bontrager Line dropper post that makes it simple to mount, dismount, and descend while loaded are all included in the technology you get.

Aluminum Alpha Platinum Frame

Trek 1120 frame is built of sturdy aluminum and carbon. Aluminum Alpha Platinum is used in its construction. The bike’s frame was created using Trek’s ground-breaking Stache platform.

The Trek 1120 frame is quite tough because it was designed to handle any terrain. It does weigh a little bit more than some Trek mountain bikes that are identical to it because of how tough the frame is.

The Trek 1120 offers every gear you should require for lengthy rides over challenging terrain. The simple and efficient 1x drivetrain has a wide range. For both mountain trails and dirt roads, the gearing performs admirably. This bike may be used for everything from flat terrain to off-road travel in harsh conditions.

There are 11 gears on the Trek 1120. The high-quality gearing mechanism on this bike allows it to be used for both on-trail and off-trail adventures.

Shimano is the manufacturer of all the shifters and gears used in the drivetrain. This mechanism makes shifting gears simple and ensures that the vehicle stays in the gear you intend it to be in.

Large 29+ wheels are on the Trek 1120. These wheels have excellent grip and roll quickly. The huge wheels assist in absorbing much of the shock from below on uneven ground. The wheels are over three inches wide, which provides excellent ground contact and keeps the bike stable under all conditions. With the rims on these wheels, tubeless tyres can be used to lower tyre pressure and avoid flats.

Trek 1120 wheels have excellent stability, durability, and traction. The 28-spoke wheels are reasonably sturdy.

Carbon Fork & Suspension

The Trek 1120 Adventure HCM Carbon Fork is the name of the suspension-corrected fork. It consists of a steerer tube constructed of bonded alloy with a carbon fork and crown. The fork has triple accessory bosses on either side, 110mm BOOST spacing, and rack mounts just above the dropout.

The major purpose of the Trek 1120 is to be used for bikepacking journeys, and this suspension system is very good in protecting the rider from the elements. The user won’t experience any jolts as the bike smoothly glides over obstacles like pebbles and sticks.

Newfangled Racks

These specialized aluminum racks offer a very sturdy surface for strapping various types of equipment. By providing creative ways to attach gear and drybags to the bike, they also do away with the necessity for a typical seat pack and handlebar roll. In general, they allow the bike to carry more goods than with a typical bikepacking arrangement.

Oh! What a feeling factors

This bike breaks down barriers and allows you to flee, and it has the necessary specifications so you can easily pack it up and go.

For the greatest packing balance, it is simple to secure 8L bags in the rear rack and additional gear up front using the sturdy harness system and integrated rack.

You can configure your ultimate excursion ride however you see fit thanks to so many mounting options.

It also makes a great mountain bike; simply remove the racks if you want to shred.

If your derailleur breaks in the middle of nowhere, you can easily switch to singlespeed thanks to the horizontal sliding dropout.

Pack up, roll out The best part about bikes are the places they can take you. We developed a full line of Bontrager Adventure Bags with all the capability and gear storage you need to get outside and stay there – whether you’re gravel riding, bikepacking, touring, or anything in between.

Adventure Handlebar Bag

Extra gear and hydration wrapped up in one. Our durable, easy-to-install handlebar bag is made with an integrated hydration bladder and hose with a magnetic bite valve so you can carry even more gear and stay hydrated wherever you roam.

Adventure Saddle bag

Saddle bags are a great way to carry more gear on longer adventures. The Adventure Saddle Bag is built with waterproof-materials and can be quickly installed or removed—plus it features an easy-access side zipper, so you can reach gear while the roll-top is closed.

Adventure Boss Full Frame Bag

Leave no stone unturned with all the storage you need to go the long haul. The Adventure Full Frame Bag is built with lofty storage that’s water-resistant. Plus, it’s available in a range of sizes to fit most bikes and bolts directly onto the new Farley.

Adventure Boss Frame Bag

Frame bags are a must-have for bigger bike adventures. The Adventure Boss Frame Bag comes in six sizes to perfectly integrate with the Checkpoint, while still fitting most other bikes on the market. Its half-frame size provides plenty of storage capacity while still allowing access to water bottle cages.

Adventure Top Tube Bag

Keep snacks, tools, and gadgets easy to access and within reach in the Adventure Top Tube Bag. Its robust construction stands up to rough, long rides, plus, you can install it using the included straps or top tube accessory bolts, if your frame is compatible, for a tidy strap-free finish.

Adventure-ready designs Each bag in our Adventure Bag line up is designed with thoughtful features and rugged materials that hang tough on any excursion.

Waterproof, durable materials

Keep your gear dry, safe, and secure, no matter where your adventure takes you. We use waterproof materials that withstand the elements so you can roam far.

Secure, frame-safe straps

Soft-coated straps fasten securely to your frame without scratching the paint or rubbing on long, rowdy rides.

Easy access

High-quality, zippered pockets allow quick and easy access to your gear on the go.

A bag for every Checkpoint

The all-new Checkpoint and new Adventure Bags were designed together. Match the bag size with the bike size for a perfect fit. And for the cleanest look, use our thumb screws to secure the Adventure Boss Frame Bag directly into the new Checkpoint’s integrated top tube mounts.

Bolt onto FX, Dual Sport, and Farley

While the Adventure Boss Frame Bag may have been designed for Checkpoint, it still bolts right into place on Farley, Dual Sport, and FX when you add a set of thumb screws.

A full frame bag for a fully fat bike

Much like its half-frame sibling, the Full Frame Bag was designed in tandem with Farley and is ready to go anywhere. Match the bag size with frame size for a perfect fit, and use thumb screws to secure the Adventure Full Frame Bag directly onto the new Farley’s integrated mounts.
