I give a rundown of the bike and show you features and go over some of the changes from the this generation from the last generation of the FX Sport series
Bought the exact same bike a few days ago. Not a lot of miles on it but for right now I'm pretty happy with it's performance. It just seems to fit all my needs and everything I want to do in town and on the crushed limestone rail trails. My first Trek. It just glides.
I own an FX6. I can’t find words that express how much I love the bike. It is comfortable, smooth, good on a ton of surfaces, and just plain easy to ride. Yeah, it is an investment, but for a flat bar gravel bike - it is a winner.
It is definitely a solid bike. I have a friend who purchased an extra wheelset and has a set for multi-surface riding and set of deep dish road wheels for riding local group rides. It is definitely a very versitle bike.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 46.6 kph. Really isn’t the point of the bike though. It is an extreme fitness bike that is set up for gravel. Other than really technical terrain, you can take this bike basically everywhere, and because it is VERY lightweight, you can definitely punch above the fitness bike category in terms of miles/kilometers traveled.
@@calicycles1998 I really misunderstood, sorry. I would be interested in your opinion: if someone wants to speed up this bike, can the crank be expanded to 42 or 44 T ring? do other components (cassette or chain) need to be modified for this? Thanks
@@user-bk1ep9js7z it can, i did that for a customer who had the 2023 model. They were trying to use it for road group rides, and were topping out with the stock chainring.

How fast ( km/h) can you go on it?

Love this bike! You sound like Kenny Powers my man. That’s a compliment!
any difference between the 2024 and the 2023?
I want one. some day. I haven't own a bike since '89
great time to look at a bike. It is definitly a buyers market right now
@@calicycles1998 I plan to move to Florida from New Jersey and would like to explore and enjoy the area on a bicycle.
@@JJ-rf7dg FX series bikes would be a solid choice
@@calicycles1998 Can the bike come with holographic decal for that specific bike?
The correct crank size is 40T (not 42 which is in the video), right?
I said 40 tooth chainring, I didn't say 42 tooth chainring. My accent may have confused you.

@@calicycles1998 And did you have to change any other components (chain, cassette) for this? Thank you
❤❤❤ beautiful
It is a fast bike?
Love my 2023 fx sport 6 i hate my 2023 checkpoint ALR5!!
Is this already released?
yes
This is the 2023. The 2024 isn’t announced yet.
This is a 2024 It is announced. www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/hybrid-bikes/fitness-bikes/fx/fx-sport-6/p/35787/?colorCode=black
I apologize.
No worries, I have gotten videos wrong before
Wish it was 18 speed. 11 is not enough tbh
Making it a double up front would have been a good option for people wanting to use if for street riding versus gravel or off road.
Trek ruined this bike in my opinion.
Yeah I prefered the FX being more of a flat bar road bike and the Dualsports being the gravel capable bike.
@@calicycles1998for sure
