Trek 7.3 FX

Comments:

This is my daily rider for road riding. The seat is a little hard, but you get used to it. The geometry is great for me as a large framed person. Can't beat the price either.

Feels and looks sleek, rides fast, and the durability is pretty great. Rode it well for 1300 miles before its first tune-up, though it did need to have it's brake pads, pedals, and chain replaced. The seat isn't the best, but the handlebar's are great for long rides and it'll take you up to 25 mph on a flat road. No suspension, so you'll feel every little bump, but you also get a good feel for the road below you, great visceral feedback. All in all, great bike.

In the city I put a lot of miles.

I've racked up 80 miles so far. The seat is a bit hard but with padded shorts that eliminates that problem. I look forward to getting on this bike every chance I get.

I have always purchased from discount stores usually under $200. Had to give up running due surgery so biking was the way to exercise outdoors again. Thanks to the experts at the bike shop, was able to find a great fitness hybrid bike that fits me and my needs perfectly. The 7.3 is comfortable, easy to handle, and fast. Never had clicker gear shift but am very impressed with ease of shifting. Haven't done serious hills yet but imagine it will work well.

I use my new Lime Green 7.3 FX daily for traveling around our large retirement community, going shopping and for 12 to 15 mile rides once or twice a week. I've been riding a Trek 7500 for years, but now I wanted something faster with a more aggressive seating position. The 7.3 FX fits my needs perfectly. I can't get over how lightweight, fast and responsive it is. This is also the first bike I've bought where I found the seat that came with it very comfortable. Although I'm not crazy about the color (I thought the mat-black was just beautiful) I got it for its visibility. Being highly visible is very important around my riding area. If it is possible to say one loves his bike that's how I feel about this bike. It is just so much fun a real joy to ride.

This year I decided to move up from a lower level Trek that I've had for 11 years. (Navigator) Initially I wasnt sure how many dollars I wanted to pay. I took the 7.3 around the block at my local bike shop and I was hooked. I ended up spending another $100- 200 more than I initially planned but I'm happy I did!!! On this bike I am able to go so much farther and faster than my old one, cycling has been a joy this summer. The only negative for me was the saddle, but I replaced that with one more comfortable to me.

I bought this bike a few weeks ago and am really enjoying it. I can't wait to go out riding. This bike pulls you forward. It glides just beautifully. I had walked into my LBS after doing a fair bit of research into other hybrids and pretty much had settled on the Trek Verve 3, which is about as comfortable as you can get in a bike. But at the last minute I asked about and tried the FX 3 and with one stroke of the pedal, I was hooked. I could clearly feel the difference between the comfort hybrid and the performance hybrid and in the end I opted for performance. The store owner described it as the difference between a Lincoln and a BMW! I rode it home from the bike store and simply loved it. The fit is terrific and it responds very well, feeling nimble and relatively quick for a hybrid. Plus, it's light. I love the looks and the color - I got viper red and switched out a more comfortable saddle. The isozone grips and 27 speeds are great features. I'm really glad I went for performance over comfort this time around.

In fairness to the review, this is my first Trek bike and I've never owned a road bike or hybrid before this one. So coming off of riding nothing but mountain bikes, this was a drastic improvement. It glides so nicely and I can ride so much faster. I just rode 60 miles the other day and I plan to ride my first century on this bike. The Iso Zone handles are very comfortable and I love how smoothly the gears change. My only problem with it is that it is quite rigid, so you definitely feel every bump, especially going over railroad tracks. If that is a huge issue for you, consider upgrading to the 7.4 or 7.5. Other than that, I have no regrets buying this bike, it was worth every penny!
