I own an FX6. I can’t find words that express how much I love the bike. It is comfortable, smooth, good on a ton of surfaces, and just plain easy to ride. Yeah, it is an investment, but for a flat bar gravel bike - it is a winner.
It is definitely a solid bike. I have a friend who purchased an extra wheelset and has a set for multi-surface riding and set of deep dish road wheels for riding local group rides. It is definitely a very versitle bike.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 46.6 kph. Really isn’t the point of the bike though. It is an extreme fitness bike that is set up for gravel. Other than really technical terrain, you can take this bike basically everywhere, and because it is VERY lightweight, you can definitely punch above the fitness bike category in terms of miles/kilometers traveled.
Bought the exact same bike a few days ago. Not a lot of miles on it but for right now I'm pretty happy with it's performance. It just seems to fit all my needs and everything I want to do in town and on the crushed limestone rail trails. My first Trek. It just glides.
I have the 2018 version of the Trek Sport 6, which is a Road Bike configuration. I like that much better. I do like this version but, I wish Trek would go back to a Road Bike configuration and improve upon the FX Sport 6 from a flat Bar Road Bike standpoint. Don Blake
@StuMarston I have a 23/24 6. Just purchased this month. Tell me one difference between the 22 and 23/24 FX sport6. It’s the same parts and frame as the 22. The only difference I think there is to be honest is the paint job. Trek clearly gave the more current version another layer of matte black paint because the carbon isn’t visible anymore in the sun. It looked defective on the 22. And I have a feeling he people thought it was. It just didn’t look right with the matte black being translucent like the FX Sport5.
@@calicycles1998 I really misunderstood, sorry. I would be interested in your opinion: if someone wants to speed up this bike, can the crank be expanded to 42 or 44 T ring? do other components (cassette or chain) need to be modified for this? Thanks
@@ÁkosHorváth-y9u it can, i did that for a customer who had the 2023 model. They were trying to use it for road group rides, and were topping out with the stock chainring.
That’s a micro shift cassette in the rear. Gotta swap that to the Shimano. I made them do that ASAP. What’s the actual weight at whatever size that is? Because that’s definitely not a medium.
Fast bike? It's the bike that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. I've outrun Imperial star-bikes. Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I'm talking about the big Corellian bikes now. She's fast enough for you old man.

How fast ( km/h) can you go on it?

perfect application
I want one. some day. I haven't own a bike since '89
great time to look at a bike. It is definitly a buyers market right now
@@calicycles1998 I plan to move to Florida from New Jersey and would like to explore and enjoy the area on a bicycle.
@@JJ-rf7dg FX series bikes would be a solid choice
@@calicycles1998 Can the bike come with holographic decal for that specific bike?
I just got this one and wow it's a dream to ride!
They are great bikes. Glad you like yours
Love this bike! You sound like Kenny Powers my man. That’s a compliment!
Kenny "fucking Powers"

That was my opion as well. I wish they just made a carbon dual sport instead having the carbon fx models do both categories.
any difference between the 2024 and the 2023?
No

Awesome!
Thanks!
The correct crank size is 40T (not 42 which is in the video), right?
I said 40 tooth chainring, I didn't say 42 tooth chainring. My accent may have confused you.

Love my 2023 fx sport 6 i hate my 2023 checkpoint ALR5!!
Still cant make up my mind Trek FX6 or Specialized Sirrus 6.0 tough choice. Right now the specialized is $2249 so leaning that way.
@@savery1979 go with the bike shop that you know will take care of you.
Is this already released?
yes
❤❤❤ beautiful

She's fast enough for you old man.
This is the 2023. The 2024 isn’t announced yet.
This is a 2024 It is announced. www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/hybrid-bikes/fitness-bikes/fx/fx-sport-6/p/35787/?colorCode=black
I apologize.
No worries, I have gotten videos wrong before
Wish it was 18 speed. 11 is not enough tbh
Making it a double up front would have been a good option for people wanting to use if for street riding versus gravel or off road.
Trek ruined this bike in my opinion.
Yeah I prefered the FX being more of a flat bar road bike and the Dualsports being the gravel capable bike.
@@calicycles1998for sure
yup, 7.7fx and 7.9 were the last great ones. Who would want to spend thousands on this heavy clunker
