If you are buying a Trek 7200+, be aware that what you will get is not completely the same as Trek’s advertising. The picture under features of the 7200+ (
http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes...rid/7200_plus/) shows a view of the Ride+ Classic controller. Under the details tab, it says the bike comes with the “Ride+ E-Z controller.” This controller has limited functionality compared to the Classic Controller.
I found this out when I took delivery of my 7200+. I am returning the bike to the dealer and upgrading to the FX+. Ironically the advertising for the FX+ is also deceptive. Under the details tab for the FX+ it says the bike comes with the “Ride+ G-2” (
http://www.bionxinternational.com/en...tems/consoles/) controller. Under the Features section it shows a picture of the Ride+ Classic Controller, which is actually what the FX+ comes with. At least that is the controller that is on another FX+ that is on the floor of the local dealer. In fact, on the Bionx website (
http://www.bionxinternational.com/en...tems/consoles/) it says the G-1 Classic console is no longer available. Since the FX+ I am buying is on order I don’t know if it will have the same controller as the one they have on the floor, or if it will actually have the G-2 controller. Didn’t get much of an answer from the Dealer. If mine comes with the G-2, I will be pleasantly surprised, but I’m not holding my breath.
I will post here again with the details when I actually take delivery, and also a ride review after I get some time on the bike.
In any event, Trek really should clean up their advertising. When you research bikes on the Internet, the advertising is about all you have to go on, versus actually seeing one on the floor and maybe test riding it before buying. My opinion of Treks advertising of these two bikes comes under the heading of “false advertising” or maybe even “bait and switch.”
