Trek FX 2 Stepover Gen 4 - Carbon Dark Grey

The FX 2 is a stylish, versatile hybrid bike built for everyday fitness, short commutes, and casual cruising. It hits the sweet spot between value and utility, utilizing the exact same lightweight Alpha Gold Aluminium frame as its higher-end sibling, but swapping to an alloy fork to keep it highly affordable. Driven by a modern 1x9 Shimano CUES Linkglide drivetrain, shifting is smooth and incredibly durable, while reliable Tektro hydraulic disc brakes provide confident stopping power in all weather conditions. Equipped with plenty of frame ports, it is easy to customize with racks, mudguards, and tech accessories to match your daily routine.
