FX Women's (WSD)
Algupära
FX Women's oli Trek'i naistele mõeldud versioon nende enimmüüdud FX fitness-hübriidist — lame rooliga, kerge alumiiniumist jalgratas, mis oli mõeldud sõitjale, kes soovis midagi kiiremat kui mugavusratas, kuid püstisemat kui maanteeratas. Trek'i WSD (Women's Specific Design) programm kohandas ülestõusmiskõrgust, ülemise toru pikkust, sadulat, roolilati laiust ja pidurikangi ulatust, et sobida Trek'i uurimistöö põhjal lühema kerega sõitjate proportsioonidele. FX WSD tarniti 1, 2 ja 3 varustustasemetel, millel olid kinnituskohad pakiraamidele ja poritiibadele, tõstetud roolilatid ja sadul, mille Trek töötas välja koos naissoost testijatega. Trek lõpetas WSD märgise ametlikult umbes 2018-2019. aastal ja liitis naistespetsiifilise geomeetria sooneutraalsesse suurusvalikusse suuruspõhiste kontaktpunktidega (sadul, roolilatid, vars), mis tähendab, et tänapäeva FX 1/2/3 katab seda, mis oli varem jagatud meeste ja naiste ridade vahel. Kasutatud FX WSD jalgrattad aastatest 2014-2018 on endiselt laialdaselt saadaval Euroopa järelturul ja neid peetakse endiselt üheks kõige sõitjasõbralikumaks sisseastumishübriidiks, mis eales tehtud.
Tehnilised andmed
- Raam
- FX Alpha Gold Aluminum (FX 2/3 WSD), Alpha Silver Aluminum (FX 1 WSD); WSD-specific geometry, DuoTrap S compatible, rack & fender mounts.
- Kahvel
- Bontrager Nebula carbon fork on flagship 7.4/7.5 FX WSD; steel/alloy rigid fork on entry 7.0-7.2 WSD models.
- Jõuülekanne
- Shimano Tourney/Altus 3x7 to Shimano Acera/Alivio 3x9 (24-27 speed)
- Pidurid
- Tektro linear-pull (V-brakes) rim brakes across the WSD-era 7.x line — including the flagship 7.4 FX WSD. Disc brakes only arrived with the later alphanumeric 'FX Disc Women's' generation.
- Rattad
- Bontrager Tubeless Ready alloy rims on Formula alloy front hub / Shimano FH-TX800 (RM30) rear hub, 700c.
- Rehvid
- Bontrager AW1/Race AW Hard-Case Lite 700x32c (7.4 FX WSD); entry WSD models typically 700x35c.
- Vedrustus
- Rigid — no suspension. Rigid carbon (flagship) or steel/alloy (entry) fork, no rear suspension. The suspension-fork sibling is the Trek Dual Sport WSD.
- Rooliplokk
- Bontrager Satellite Plus IsoZone flat alloy bar (vibration-damping) + Bontrager SSR stem; Bontrager Nebula seatpost. Bars narrowed and reach shortened for WSD fit.
- Sadul
- Bontrager H1 WSD women's-specific saddle (flagship); earlier WSD models used Bontrager Evoke 1 WSD. Backed by Bontrager 30-day comfort guarantee.
- Geomeetria
- Flat-bar fitness/hybrid geometry, moderately upright. WSD-specific design: shorter top tube/reach, lower standover, narrower bars and shorter brake reach vs men's FX. Road/path oriented, not off-road. Sizes 13/15/17/19 in.
- Kaal
- Not officially published by Trek for the FX WSD line; no weight on 99spokes for any WSD variant. Comparable carbon-fork unisex 7.x FX of the era is ~11-12 kg as a rough reference (unverified for WSD build).
Verdikt
- WSD-specific fit (shorter reach, lower standover, narrower bars, shorter brake reach) genuinely suits shorter-torsoed riders and makes mounting/dismounting easy.
- Lightweight FX Alpha Gold aluminum frame with a carbon Bontrager Nebula fork on flagship 7.4/7.5 — efficient flat-bar fitness ride that still smooths road buzz.
- Versatile commuter package: rack & fender mounts plus DuoTrap S compatibility for racks, mudguards and speed/cadence sensing.
- Reliable, dealer-serviceable Shimano Acera/Deore 3x9 drivetrain and Trek's strong warranty/dealer network make it a low-hassle long-term bike.
- Women's-specific Bontrager H1 WSD saddle and IsoZone vibration-damping bar with a 30-day comfort guarantee ease the fit for many riders.
- Whole WSD-era 7.x line ships with Tektro linear-pull V-brakes (even the flagship 7.4) — pads wear fast and wet-weather stopping is weak versus modern disc FX models.
- Stiff aluminum frame with a rigid fork transmits road vibration; entry 7.0-7.2 WSD (steel/alloy fork) are noticeably harsher than the carbon-fork flagship.
- Flat handlebar gives a single hand position that can cause wrist/elbow ache on rides longer than ~1 hour.
- Stock nylon platform pedals and budget cockpit/cranks on lower tiers are common first upgrades.
- Rigid fork + narrow 700x32-35c slick tires mean road/path only — no real off-road or rough-gravel capability — and Trek publishes no official weight.
