Trek 7.4 FX Disc – first ride review
Hybrid bike with hydraulic disc brakes
Trek’s 7.4 FX Disc is one of their big sellers, and part of the welcome trend for hydraulic brakes to appear on more hybrids. It makes much more sense than superfluous suspension forks.
The Hayes brakes don’t have the absolute stopping power of some, but they easily have enough for urban riding and masses of control. Shimano provide most of the rest of the kit, the 48/36/26 chainrings and 11-32T cassette offering a huge gear range, particularly at the bottom end. Yes, there are largish gaps between gears but their sheer range more than makes up for that.
Handling is sit-up-and-beg steady, not surprising given its lengthy 105cm wheelbase, a theme further emphasised by the relaxed head tube angle. This is great for high visibility head-up urban riding, and comfortable too, aided by the palm-comforting rubberised IsoZone grips. The 32mm tyres offer a good balance of plushness, protection from pothole-induced punctures and rolling resistance.
Considering the price the 11.7kg (25.8lb) weight is decent. Wheel life should be boosted by the absence of rim brakes, and with rear rack, front and rear mudguard eyes and loads of clearance it’s well specced for year-round versatility, too.
A top ride, good kit and a price your bank manager won’t blanch at – a star Trek and a special FX.

I just picked up a used Trek FX 7.4 and I am interested in getting new tires. The bike is about 3 years old and has the stock bontrager's on it. My wheel says 622x17 on in and I found a chart online that says I can go up to 700x37c tires. I mostly ride around with my kid so I was considering sizing up from the stock x32's to a x35c or x37c for ...
4. 32mm to 35mm is a small change. It's not going to make a huge difference in ride quality and because it's a small change, any bike that comes with 32mm tires is very likely to handle 35mm tires with no difficulties. The 7.2FX and 7.3FX are the same frame, but a different fork. It's hard to be sure from the online description, but probably ...
