First opening its doors in 1983 was our flagship London store, shortly followed by Birmingham, and most recently East Grinstead, in 2016. It's a bike that's sure to keep new riders riding, and most likely keep them in the Trek fold when they get round to upgrading.On Your Bike is a family owned and run business that prides itself on great customer service. While not delivering the ear-to-ear grin of some road bikes, the Lexa S certainly punches above its weight in terms of looks, comfort, value for money and in providing a reliably enjoyable and encouraging ride. In my experience that's almost unheard-of with the seats that come fitted to bikes, but the Affinity has good width and firmness, and supported sitbones well over a variety of distances. It's always reassuring when your bike goes where you ask it to.Įven the Bontrager Affinity 1 WSD saddle was comfortable. The gearing a combination of 50/34 chainrings and 11-28 cassette, which gives gears low enough for slogging up most gradients, with decent high gears for descents or giving it some welly on the flat.Ĭornering was also a case of the bike going where you asked it to, rather than taking its own radically different line. The bar tape was comfortable and reasonably well cushioned.Ĭlimbing, the bike felt quite positive, and responded nicely to me getting out of the saddle.
I would probably have upgraded the unbranded alloy brakes if it were my bike, since the braking itself, although reliable and effective, was a little on the sluggish side. The fit felt spot on for me, with everything within comfortable reach, although the Sora levers weren't the most comfortable for female hands. The frame and carbon fork are decently stiff, but don't present any major problems with road buzz. There was no real feeling of being overburdened with weight, the handling was steady and reliable but nimble enough to be engaging and it rode well both up and down hill, as well as on the flat. Out and about, it was a very enjoyable ride. It would be a very picky soul indeed who couldn't be happy with the look of this, and it doesn't scream out girly.
With that sparkly black frame and occasional red accent (seat post collar, cable ends etc), it's a smart looking bike and suggests a price tag far above its modest £650. The result is also subtly sparkly, so it's an extra safety/sparkly bike double win. One of the innovative things about all four bikes in the Lexa range is Trek's exclusive and rather clever Seeglass coating, which uses crushed glass to enhance reflectivity from 360 degrees. Saddle, seatpost, handlebars and bar tape are all Bontrager, as are the tubeless ready rims and tyres. The frame also has mounts for mudguards and even a rear rack.
Womens trek bike series#
It has Shimano's inexpensive but rather good Sora components and the women's specific WSD geometry 100 Series Alpha aluminium frame is paired up with Trek carbon road forks. The Lexa S is the second cheapest of Trek's range of aluminium-framed women's road bikes, as distinct from the carbon-framed Silque, Madone and Emonda ranges.
