Trek bike

Trekmakes more than 30 different road bikes including bikes designed fortime trials, triathlon, cyclocross, commuting and touring. No matterwhat your needs, Trek has a bike for you.

This is accomplished bybringing the handlebars closer to the seat/saddle. Ultimately thiscreates a slightly less aggressive riding position for comfort withoutsacrificing the power efficiency. Additionally, achieving the rightbalance between the hands and hips gives female cyclists more controlwhen cornering and handling. WSD designs lessen pressure on the handsand reduce sore shoulders and stiff neck muscles.

Trekhas developed a line of bikes specifically for women cyclists. Theirresearch has shown that women exert more force on their backs than menin the same riding position. Their WSD frames create a more naturalriding position for women by balancing their weight more evenly betweenthe hips and the hands.

Forthe 2005 Tour, Trek developed the Madone SSLx, a refinement of the SSL,already the lightest bike Trek made. (So light that weight has to beadded to meet UCI minimum weight restrictions!) Since 2006, this samebike or its successor has been available to everyone.

TheDiscovery Channel cycling team continued to ride Trek bikes throughoutits existence. And with the move of its manager and many of its ridersto Team Astana for 2008, Trek will still be represented in the propeleton. Unlike many manufacturers, Trek doesn't build custom framesfor its sponsored racers. They ride stock bikes that anyone can buy.Like auto manufacturers that sponsor auto-racing teams, Trek uses theirsponsored riders to test and help further develop cycling technology.

In 1998, Trekprovided the bikes for the US Postal Service professional cycling team,featuring Lance Armstrong, just returned to professional cycling afterhis bout with cancer. His first victory (on a Trek 5500 OCLV stockbike) in the Tour de France comes the next year. Lance goes on to winsix more times, all on Trek bikes.

Trekstarting making steel-framed bikes in a converted barn in 1976. By1983, they had grown enough to sponsor a racing team. One of theearlier proponents of aluminmum as a frame material, their bondedframes pushed the limits of performance. They introduced their firstcarbon frame in 1986, years earlier than most manufacturers, moving tothe OCLV process by 1992. The Saturn-sponsored professional road teamraced on Trek bikes starting in 1996.
