No. The only 2015 FX bikes currently on the market are the 7.0 Stagger, The 7.1 Stagger, the 7.2 & 7.2 Disc, the 7.3, 7.4 and 7.4 Disc, and the 7.5. (Along with their corresponding WSD models).

The rest are all 2014 bikes.

Okay, thanks. I was told the website will be updated by the 28th. Guess I'll get my answers then.

But…why doesn't the 7.1 Stagger say DuoTrap?

By the way, I'm really not trying to be dense if all of this crystal clear to some of you. I just don't get it quite yet. I will, though, I'm smarter than I look.

Just came across this - did you manage to get it clarified?

I don't see the DTS written against any of the FX 7.* (2014 or 2015) names anymore.

Just bought my 2015 Trek 7.4 FX three weeks ago, love it (replaced a 8 yr old Trek 7200). Mine and it seemed like all of the FX line came with the DuoTrap S compatible. I had to spend extra for them to put the DuoTrap on, then ended up adding the Bontrager Trip 300 to get most of the info I needed. Everything worked fine but after a couple of weeks of having to watch a second Polar HR unit in addition to the Trip300, I decided that I wanted the multiple display capabilities of the Garmin 510. So I bought the bundle which included the Garmin speed/cadence sensor and got credit for the Trip 300 and the DuoTrap, so basically it was a difference in cost of $180 vs $400. For my purposes, well worth the difference. The DuoTrap would have worked with the Garmin, but why not use what the computer was made for?

Let me throw in a special Kudos for my LBS in Austin - Bicycle Sports Shop - great bunch of guys.

I have a 2015 FX 7.4 Disc w/Duotrap-S and the Trip 300. I also have a Mio Link heart-rate wrist band. The Trip 300 will simultaneously pair with the Duotrap speed/cadence sensors AND the Mio Link. It will display HR and Speed at the same time. Since both the Duotrap and the Mio Link broadcast ANT+/BTLE I can see my data on the Trip 300 and record it to Strava on my iPhone at the same time.

I really, really like this setup (oh and the bike is awesome too!)

Guess it's been resolved then. Thanks for the info…I've not purchased a new bike and I'm not sure I will from Trek. I'm still annoyed with them over the color issue we had.
