Got the Trek FX2 ‘022 (‘023 is basically a carry over of the ‘022 model..) in QuickSilver ,..size XL which I 🇺🇸ride in Tokyo.🗼⛩️🇯🇵Really love my FX2! ..the Color is only offered overseas,..the new drivetrain upgrade is good,..less “cross chaining” + easier to get head around gear selection / use in or out of town on certain terrain w/the 2X 9 ratio. The H2Comp Tires really last! I got the bike in ‘021 late December and still haven’t worn them out enough yet and had no flats! Knock on Wood!👍🏾😁🚴🏾✨A FINE Hybrid/Commuter from TREK! ☝🏾😌Know why it’s quite popular ‼️🥰👌🏾
Two weeks ago I've bought mine FX 2 Disk too, but 2022. model, as the replacement of my aging, well over ten years old bike with older Shimano 3x7 Tourney drivetrain. I've found it at my local bike store on discount for about 749 Euros (I'm from the EU country) after thorough research on which bike to choose from. And I have to say that I'm very impressed with this bike's buildt quality, how it handles on paved roads and some light gravel paths, mostly also by it's comfort (handles could be better for a non-suspension bike), shifters, very responsive brakes and how light it actually is (only about 11.7 kg). And mine is also lythium grey. I use my bike for several days each week as a means of exercise. I usually do something about 10-15 km per each ride, sometimes even much more. It's a bit odd but here in Europe Trek FX 2 Disk comes with Tektro brakes, not the brakes shown on many FX 2 Trek bikes at the States. Also, your original handles are somewhat different and look more comfortable than mine made by Bontrager that I'm gonna probably replace with better ones. Also, I have the same pedals which aren't great but I find them to be still rather tolerable. Warm greetings from Croatia, European Union, all over the Atlantic sea! 👍👍👍
Bro very nice review. I'm about to click "order". But 1 thing I already know now, is I am going to directly replace those tires which only have 30 TPI. Meaning you are losing a lot of speed. If you have never tried. Please buy cheap Continental Ultra Sport 3 ones (only like 15-20dollar each). Those are the cheap ones best bang for buck. You will guaranteed feel a MASSIVE difference. CHEERS.
@@Birdmanorange yes those are the more expensive lines with like 330TPI, generally the 180tpi like ultra sport 3 are their budget range with great performance. But the ones with black chili(premium tires lines) compound usually offer even higher TPI and even lower rolling resistance. The new Grand Prix 5000 is one of their premium 330TPI low rolling resistance. The cheapest new budget one they offer with best puncture protection and relatively low rolling resistance is the Urban Contact. (180tpi, around 30 euro), although the website doesn't mention it anymore I google bicyclerollingresistance for more info on rolling resistance and on the official site of continental you can check for the TPI of the tire your looking at. Most premium "race" tires you can get up to 32MM. For 35MM wide see their urban section.
@@Birdmanorange annoying TH-cam is deleting my replies .... Anyway yeah the ones with black chili are the premium lines. If you can afford they are great. They usually have I believe 320 TPI or higher . If you are poor then ultra sport or urban contact which have 180tpi (the budget lines). Buy a BBB easytire too if you don't wanna go crazy 🤣.
Thank you! Yeah it’s a great bike. But it definitely needed a bit of personality added to it. My next upgrade will be the tires. But idk if they will be off road or street tires.
Stand over clearance is about an inch or two. I’m 5’8. I’m not sure if that’s what you mean. I have plenty of stand over room on the bike. Very comfy. In fact I almost went with the large and there was virtually no room. I could fit but if I bent my knees I’d hit my ballz.
@@Birdmanorange thanks, same.😂 One Trek employee told me get a large so I ordered it, but it felt like i had to climb onto it and my ballz were def resting on the top tube. I felt unsure so I went back and another employee said medium, so got that instead.
Nice video man and additions to the FX2! I just changed my pedals too.

Man I’m thinking about getting them in brown. Are they really that much faster?
@@Birdmanorange I am not kidding. My bike is being delivered this Wednesday 🥳🥳🥳
@@youyoue4260what about the black chili continental ones? They are the ones for speed.

Nice video man. I bought the same bike in January this year. I love my bike. I like the upgraded pedals.
Thank you! Yeah it’s a great bike. But it definitely needed a bit of personality added to it. My next upgrade will be the tires. But idk if they will be off road or street tires.
your rear brake just needs a bleed, i would bring it to a shop to get it bled if you dont have experience, wouldnt cost more that 20 bucks.
What’re your measurements?
Inseam/ stand over clearance?
