  • Central Jersey, from Colonial Park in Somerset to Duke Island Park in Bridgewater. A taste of the areas awesome multi use trails, paved paths, and road ways. Take notes, use Google, and ride them yourself!! Or, click the links below for Strava and Trailforks ride logs for this and many other local rides.
    This was a crisp Monday morning in February of 2023. Reel Feel temp was 45 degrees. Super smooth ride on the fully capable TREK FX Sport 6 Gravel Bike. Such a fun cycle to maneuver through all the different terrains covered on this day.
    Thank you for watching as I enjoyed creating this for you!!

    I just picked up the FX sport 5. I think I'm going to love this bike and your video sums up the kind of riding perfectly that this bike is capable of. Thanks for your sharing!

    What a bike! Just picked up a Trek Verve 1 after 40 bikeless years and I'm loving it, but now I have bike fever and I'm looking at my next one. The FX Sport 6 may fit the bill.
    Great video!

    This video pretty much answered all my questions about this or a DS3G5. Currently riding a 2020 DS2 that leaves a lot to be desired in the drivetrain.

    I just purchased the Trek FX3 disc but I'm thinking I should've went for the FX sport 4 since I live right there by Colonial Park as well and feel the fx3 might not do well in gravel trails.
    Do you think the FX4 sport is definitely a way softer ride and worth the upgrade?

    • @kevincastellani4487
      @kevincastellani4487  2 місяці тому

      @Miguel-ey5eg I think you have a good bike and you would be able to handle the terrain in this area no problem. I do think the sport models are a significant upgrade with the carbon frame. A rim and tire upgrade could make your FX3 feel a little smoother.

    Awesome content! I just preferred this bike. Did yours come with GRX crank and Shimano brakes? I have seen some complaints online about some bikes coming with lesser components due to supply shortages. Many thanks!

    • @kevincastellani4487
      @kevincastellani4487  Рік тому +1

      Thanks!! I did not have the GRX cranks or Shimano brakes. The bike shop said they were going to swap the brakes because so many people were having problems with what was on them. I mentioned on the website the bike has GRX and they were willing to swap them to for me. I'm happy with the bike. I just need to upgrade the rear hub for more engagement.

    What size bag do you have on the frame? I have been trying to figure out which ones mount with the hardware without the need for straps.

    • @kevincastellani4487
      @kevincastellani4487  Рік тому +2

      This is the 5L. I'm using only the back strap with some frame protection and I made a home made plastic spline for the top to prevent sag when using the top hardware. Pretty solid with tools and C02 in the back, enjoy!

    If I wanted to do 40 to 50 mile rides on flat smooth pavement with this bike how is the comfort? And how is the top speed?

      This bike is super smooth and comfortable. Something like the Checkpoint is faster, but the FX is not far behind.
