Very smooth ride and I have a 3 year warranty on the bike. Trek store just 15 minutes from my house and they will do a lot things for free for you if you just bought the bike. Started at going 15mph hour on it this spring when started cycling again at a bodyweight of 150, now lost 9 lbs down to 141 and what a difference losing 9 lbs has made. I can now cycle 20 miles on my Trek Hybrid at a 23 mph pace. I can pass up even some guys on road bikes on my Trek Hybrid. The Trek Fx is more closer to a road bike then other Hybrid bikes have seen. It won't be long before I can get up to 25 mph on it. Losing weight each week and getting faster on the bike. I love the Trek Hybrid so much it feels like a speed demon. I can't wait to see how fast I can go on it when my weight gets down to my high school wrestling weight of 135 lbs!

Although the Trek Road Bikes are very expensive the Hybrids are very affordable and in my opinion they can perform just as well as a cheap road bike. I can go faster than some guys who are riding cheap road bikes on the bike path.
