Pat’s 605 Checks Out the 2013 Trek Lineup at Interbike 2013

Every year, the bicycle industry gathers for the Interbike Trade Show where all the manufacturers put on display the new bikes, clothing, and accessories you will find at Pat's 605 Cyclery in the upcoming season.  New models, new colors, and new technology gets the people in the shop excited about the upcoming year.  This trade show was no exception with the Trek bike line looking hotter than ever.

The Madone, Trek's flagship road race bike is redesigned and better than ever!  The new 7 series frame has dropped in weight down to just 750 grams yet it's still as stiff and solid as previous Madones.  Utilizing the new KVF tube shape, the aerodynamic improvement delivers an extra 25 watts in performance and for the Madone rider, that can be the difference between winning and finishing in the pack.  Looking to get into road riding but want to be conservative with your bicycle budget, the Madone now comes in affordably priced aluminum models with prices under $2,000 and the 1 series bikes with models starting at $739.  

Looking to save some money or burn less oil and want to start bike commuting to work or school or just want to burn some calories on the bike trail?  Then consider the FX category of flat bar road bikes.  Each model has an upright, comfortable riding position with the base model starting at under $600.  Bicycle commuters and recreational cyclists all over our region have relied upon the Trek FX to get them where they need to go.

2012 Giant Talon 2 Mountain Bike Review - Pat's 605 in Norwalk

 

 Entry level for the Giant Bicycle Line of 29er mountain bikes is the 2012 Talon 2.  Pat's 605 has also created a video about the 2012 Giant Talon 2 Mountain Bike here.

The Talon frame is very close to the same as the Giant XTC which will set you back twice as much.  Giant has crafted the frame using Fluidform, which leaves the main tubes in a near perfect combination of strength and rigidity.  The frame is made out of Giant’s ALUXX aluminum alloy.  The tubesets have been internally butted and hydroformed to optimize strength and weight.

The top tube is a flattened oval with all the cable routing underneath. The down tube is very large.  It  flares and bridges across to the first 90mm of the top tube, then curves away from the reinforced head tube.  The result is a very dependable, comfortable riding frame. 

the Talon 29er uses SRAM and Shimano drivetrain components, offering a total of 27 gears.
The Talon is now running all the cable routing underneath, which provides multiple benefits in appearance and reduced drag.

Features

• SR XCT 29", 100mm suspension fork
• SRAM X4 8-speed trigger shifting and rear derailleur
• Tektro Aquila mechanical disc brakes
• Giant S-XC29 2 alloy rims and Giant Tracker Sport hubs
• Sizes: S, M, L, XL
• Color: White/Black
