Lower-End Bike Doesn’t Mean Less Performance. Perfect Example: 2013 Trek 1.5

Even when it comes to lower end bikes like the 2013 1.5, Trek pays the same amount of attention to detail and features as their high-end bikes. The frame on the 1.5 is Trek's 100 Series Alpha Aluminum, and it comes with 10 gears which is the standard in race performance gearing. It's compact 2 chainring crank saves weight while still offering a great combination of climbing power and flat land speed.

Trek uses their classic H2 fit which puts a slightly higher head tube than normal, giving extra comfort to the back and neck. It's tour tested geometry has the perfect balance of handling, comfort, and acceleration.

Shimano Tiagra STI shifters are an awesome addition for the 1.5. They are trigger shifters that have a nice optical display for easy gear reading, and contain both the up/down triggers and the brake lever in one spot, allowing for a more efficient ride. The front and rear derailleurs are also by Shimano, as well as the 12-30, 10 speed cassette.

The comfort aspects of the bike are handled easily by Bontrager. That means you can trust that the saddle, handlebars, and grips will have excellent geometry and will help to reduce road fatigue over longer rides.

Take the Trail by Storm on the 2013 Superfly Elite SL 29er HT! We have it at Pat’s 605!

The 2013 Trek Superfly Elite 29er HT has raised the bar for 29er hardtail mountain performance bikes. 29” tires means that you can carry more momentum, roll over obstacles easier, and expect more stability and traction than standard 26” tires. Trek has also included a more robust and confident rear axle that is about 35% stiffer than an open dropout design. Trek’s mountain-specific carbon fiber is tougher carbon, with unique materials and layup procedures, Trek’s advanced engineering and a higher standard of testing. The bottom bracket is the stiffest carbon on the market, and it is exclusive to Trek.

The shifters, front and rear derailleur are all Shimano Deore, so compatabilty is a non-issue. In fact, having an all Shimano drivetrain makes shifting dependable, easy, and quick. Even the brakes are Shimano Deore XT hydraulic disc brakes, which means stopping power is fantastic. Bontrager Race Lite Tubeless Ready Disc Race Wheels come standard on the Superfly, and Bontrager manufactures the 29” tires mentioned earlier.

This bike is incredible, and you can take a test ride of it at Pat’s 605. We are located at 12310 S. Studebaker Road in Norwalk and our phone number is (562) 864-0740.
