Looking for a fitness bike, narrowed down to Trek FX 7.4 or Fuji Absolute 2.0LE
My wife is trying to decide between a Trek FX7.4 WSD and a Fuji Aboslute 2.0LE. Same price. They both have a carbon front fork. The Fuji has full Tiagra where the Trek is Acera/Deore mix. I dont know enough about either wheelset to know if one is any better than the other. The Fuji has a mechanical disc brake and adjustable stem, the Trek has internally routed cables. The Trek seems a little heavier but not sure, bikes are at different locations
Both seems very nice the Fuji has obvious component upgrade and Trek has brand recognition and still a decent quality level of components.
My wife rode an FX7.5 amd loved it, I assume the 7.4 rides the same, havent rode the Fuji yet
Any advice?

my wife has a 7.5 as one of her bikes and loves it... it is probably her favorite all around "go to" bike.

Do yourself a favor and give the Cannondale Quick 4 a try also. It is an awesome bike, very comfortable!

I bought a Trek 7.4 fx mid June this year and have ridden it about 650 miles so far with no troubles. I am not sure about the effectiveness of the carbon fork, as I have not ridden a 7.3 (has aluminum fork).
i did change the saddle to a Selle SMP, and that makes it more comfortable.
From my perspective, it is a good, solid bike.

She tested the Quick 3 and liked it but i thought the aluminum fork would be too harsh. Saw the quick 4 but it is Altus equipped for almost the same price. We looked for a SL3 or Quick Seed 3 but none in stock her size at that price range. She likes the look of the Trek and the upgrades of the Fuji.. The Trek seemed a bit lighter
