Bumstead's Top 2015 Bikes: Trek 8.3 DS

 

Why Choose Between Road and Trail? Built for Adventure On and Off the Road 

The 2015 Trek 8.3 DS is ready to take you from week to weekend and back in comfortable, confident style.


Streets and paths, suburbs and woods; return to the simple joys of cycling with Trek's DS 8.3. This go-anywhere machine is road-bike fast, trail-bike capable and fun everywhere. It sports a lightweight Gold Series aluminum frame and a 63mm-travel suspension fork so it floats over rough roads and trails. With multi-surface Bontrager tires wrapped around big, 700c wheels any route you want to take is yours. And hills are no worries with 24 Shimano speeds and safe, grippy brakes at your disposal. Take the scenic way home.
