Dual Sport. A Term That Nearly Fails to Describe the Versatility of the 2013 Trek Dual Sport 8.6, Available Now at Pat’s 605!

Trek's 2013 DS 8.6 is the ultimate hybrid. A great bike to ride around the city or to tackle the commute to work, as well as an adventurous trail bike. Trek's Alpha Gold aluminum is used on the 8.6 DS, which is formed into tube shapes that balance weight and strength.

The frame is designed to absorb 20mm worth of roots, curbs, and railroad tracks without a shock. Its called IsoZone, and it adds comfort and durability directly to the frame. In addition, Trek utilized a handlebar-mounted control for on-the-fly suspension lockout as you switch terrains. A remote lockout means an easier time on the trail as your hands don't even have to leave the handlebars.

Speaking of hands, Trek went with Bontrager bars and grips which provide comfort, control, and durability, as well as providing a nice upright ride that's easy to enjoy.

The 8.6 DS is the perfect bike for someone who wants to ride around town or commute to work as well as satisfying the needs of the mountain biker inside. The bike easily accommodates 700x35c tires with fenders, or you can slap on a burly Bontrager XDX 29"x1.8" MTB without fenders for those weekend trips to the light trails.

Trek Dual Sport bikes are the right solution for the multi-purpose rider, designed for weekday-to-weekend versatility. It's comfortable, ergonomic, and capable features are essential for the frequent rider. And having a choice for tire size is a nice option for mixed use. Its fast and efficient on pavement, and its capable and confident on the dirt.

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.

2013 Trek Madone 2 Series: Stiffer, Lighter, Perfect for Any Rider!

For years, the Trek Madone was a leading carbon fiber road racer used by local riders as well as Lance Armstrong.  The light weight and advanced design of the Madone carbon frame gave cyclists a big performance edge over others not as lucky to be riding this bike.  Trek has recognized the need to bring the design of the Madone down to a lower price point so for 2013, Trek is introducing two Madone models in aluminum.  The Madone 2.1 and 2.3 deliver a lot of the benefits of their carbon big brother but at half the price.

Equipped with a carbon fork and seat post and Shimano 105 10 speed components the Madone 2 series is perfect for racing, triathlons, weekend group rides or that early Saturday morning ride by yourself where you just want to see where the road takes you.

We are located at 12310 S. Studebaker Road in Norwalk and our phone number is 562 864-0740.  If you have questions about the 2013 Madone, give us a call or drop by the shop and check them out in person.

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
