What Can The 2014 Trek 1.5 Road Bike Offer You?

Versatility, Race-Ready Detail, and Aerodynamic Shaping Makes for a Light and Exhilarating Ride that is Easy on the Budget

The new 2014 Trek 1.5 frame features some Kammtail-esque tube shaping that is a trickle down from the fine looking Madone aero tube profiles and the geometry is still the same well proven H2 fit.

A reviewer at Girodilento.com says that the ride quality of the new frame is a step forward over the old bike. It seemed more comfortable to him and the Tiagra componentry worked very well right out of the box.


Bicycling.com included the 2014 Trek 1.5 in their 'Buyer's Guide: Entry-Level Road Bikes', saying, "Anyone who has recently caught the cycling bug should enjoy this versatile, spry model from Trek. The compact crank offers lower gears to help you summit any hills in your path, and the frame comes in eight sizes - making it easy to find a good fit. Mount fenders and rack to turn this into a fast commuter."

[Review] 2014 Trek 1 Series Road Bikes

2014 Trek 1 Series Look More and More Like High End Bikes

For 2014 Trek has impressed us by giving every Trek 1 series frame a carbon fork. The frame remains Aluminum, but it has been redesigned. The down tube now comes with a curved leading edge and a truncated trail. It's chopped off square at the back in a similar way to the KVF tubing that Trek use on their Madone and Speed Concept bikes. Three different 1 series are available: 1.5, 1.2, and 1.1.

The 1.1 is the cheapest road bike that Trek produces. 100 Series Alpha Aluminum frame with a Trek carbon road fork, Shimano 2300 8-speed drivetrain with Vuelta Corsa, 50/34 (compact) crankset, Bontrager Approved alloy rims and Bontrager T1 700x23c tires.

Other features of the 1 Series include Rack and fender mounts, H2 Geometry and Shimano Claris (1.1), Shimano Sora (1.2) and Shimano Tiagra (1.5) front and rear derailleurs. Bontrager fills out the rest of the componentry to keep it light on your wallet too. Strong, light, exhilirating, and race ready.
