2023 Trek Dual Sport 3

[@stefanlakomy6195]

Thank you for the video. I test rode one of these yesterday at Trek, Woolloongabba (Brisbane, Australia). A lovely bike.

[@searaydrivingguy]

i bought this in large crimson red. its beautiful rides like a dream, and a solid investment. the carbon fork makes its super light and easy to haul around. for the price i give it ******* rating.

[@pyrodoll2422]

Just bought one in large and done a mere 7 miles to work so far on its very first ride and love it already. I initially thought the bars were too high and was going to take them down by the biggest spacer but now I'm not sure. I'll leave it for now. Anyway it's fast and comfortable, I've dropped the tyres to 40psi and will go tubeless very soon. I'm glad they've gone rigid up front as that's one of the things that swung it for me combined with the fat tyres it's way more pleasant to ride than my old 700c hybrid. It was quite difficult to track one down in the UK. Ended up buying online from 200 miles away but all good with the delivery etc. Can't wait to rack up some miles now.

Been riding my pennyflake ds3 for a few months now and when I say I've been enjoying it...that would be an understatement (40 years old 6'3" 234 lbs with an XL)😊

[@step1idiomas]

Will this bike fit a 27.5 x 2.2 wide tire? At least in the front... Thank you!

[@rsx101]

The FX 1 2 3 is more aggressive, the DS is more upright.

[@TheBicycleRider]

Yes you are correct , I meant to say Trek Verve . Thanks for the correction .

[@AlaaElBatran2]

Is FX more faster ?

[@yathidas4087]

@@AlaaElBatran2yes

[@PortlyPour]

I am considering the FX3. Is it too aggressive compared to the DS3?

[@nohandle641]

@@PortlyPour Well according to the geometry, yes it is more aggressive but that doesn't mean it's too aggressive. If you can, you should test ride. Also, consider the Domane AL.

[@MiCoopRS]

BART, awesome video... very very imformative... I was lucky to bump into a GUY that has one of these, here in CANADA... he paid 1300.00 canadian and had it for a month or so and he has boughr a differnt one because of the colour... so I was fortunate to take it off his hands for 1100..... I have had an E-Bike for a YEAR and 3 months and NOW am in such good shape due to riding every day, this BIKE is just what I need to TEAR around in... my next will be a Mountain Hardtail... maybe with Electric capability as its always good to have if needed... Great Video.

[@akshaykadam5993]

Sir, How Marin DSX2 over Trek DS3? I mean which is better among them?

[@TropicJesus]

Your videos are very helpful. Sometimes we can only see pictures of the bike.

[@JitinMisra]

The FX is the more aggressive geometry, this is NOT. This is more relaxed, like a 90's mountain bike. But a lovely bike! I test road one few days ago.

[@planetdog1641]

why the small wheels?

[@specialized29er86]

I bought the 2024 gen 3 with an xl frame and bought it for the no suspension fork to mount a pizza rack so Charlie Chihuahua can come with me. I changed the tubes over to the car valve ones and also changed the pedals to Merida ones, a Merida seat, Merida handlebar grips the a handlebar riser with an adjustable neck. I'd always been a Specialized 29er rider and am now a Trek enthusiasts and am going to buy a Marlin+ 6 ebike to safely go down dirt tracks.

[@robo1989]

Can we install a dropper post? On this bike ?

[@rickmoses5081]

GREAT VID. VERY INFORMATIVE!🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️

[@canal.ferreira.pacheco]

I bought one too. I love this bike. It's a shame that tire don't be TRL. This frame is Tapered?

[@KennethSmith-lb4ln]

An impressive bike, well built and good review.

[@imstillhereileft7530]

I bought one in Craigslist for 600 gen3 version, i swapped the tires to pathfinder pros & rides fast on gravel w/tubless & tires , bike is better thsn decent, tires make a difference

[@русланшальман]

How is this tire different?

[@nguyenminhhien9632]

I'm considering fx3 and ds3. I'll be using the bike for commuting around 20km/day. The road that I travel is just fine

[@pebbleinyoshoe532]

Road bike Fx Commuter bike DS Mountain bike I got the DS cause I have a road bike, and I want one to go on gravel and ride with the family but don’t need to be super fast, If I didn’t own a race bike or family I’d get a FX

[@JitinMisra]

@@pebbleinyoshoe532which one fx sport (gravel style ) or road style hybrid ?

[@pebbleinyoshoe532]

@@JitinMisra what do you mean

[@JitinMisra]

@@pebbleinyoshoe532so their is fx sport and regular fx, the sport bikes are gravel style with big tires while the other are 32mm tires

[@ksnjourney]

I am 5.9 .Can you tell me which size suits me.M or L

[@MiCoopRS]

LARGE... I am 5 7 and medium...

[@richardmiller-qp8tb]

Medium

[@vukforest223]

L

[@fraser-b3494]

What size did you end up getting and are you happy with it? I am 5'10 so it says I should get Large, however my inside leg is also suitable for medium. The bike scheme shop in the UK I can buy from only has a medium size in stock.

[@danl5632]

DS3 will be good for commuting and bikepacking.

[@ankurkasture9016]

I am 6feet. Which size should I consider L or XL

[@Moonglow1-y9x]

Large man . I'm 6 foot! I pulled the trigger on one . Large perfect fit

[@cfnaround1585]

I fit better on an XL and I’m 6ft flat

[@practicaldave]

Nice video! Why might someone choose this over a gravel bike?

[@chrisp9859]

It's a flat bar gravel bike. Better drivetrain and gear for cheaper than a drop bar gravel bike.

[@williamhodgson1428]

I thought this model had telescopic forks. I have an older DS8.3 and it has telescopics.

[@carlibrown1208]

hello. I have the option of buying a trek dual sport 3. 3 years old, in excellent condition for €400. it's worth buying..thanks..greattings from SloveniA

[@Sangram-IND]

Hi thanks for the nice video. Will we have to work harder to make this cycle go faster? I don't know why the trek did this? I feel that it was a big mistake by removing the suspension. It is true that the weight has been reduced by removing the suspension.The thickness of the tire reduces the performance of the bicycle. I think this bicycle is for long rides. wouldn't be very appropriate 😔.. It has been fitted with big tires to withstand vibrations on bad roads. 2021-22 trek dual sport lineup is good. Thankyou so much ❤❤❤

[@searaydrivingguy]

i can tell you never rode one, i own this bike and 10 other treks all newer, with and without suspensions. this bike It can do small jumps well, rides on the road very smooth much smoother than any suspension bike. the only thing i can fault its so nice i am worried about scratching it.

[@TheKos2Kos]

​@@searaydrivingguy ditto 😂

[@gini2147]

Sirrus x 3.0 or Trek Dual Sport 3 Gen 5 ?

[@RickyBass_]

Trek. I tried both. This is comfortable yet aggressive. Good for commuting, light trails, and exercise. Does it all out of the box and even better with a couple upgrades suited to you.

[@chrisp9859]

Ew don't go Sirrus. Dual Sport is better equipped at a similar price.

[@aearly841]

Paint job might look great, but if it’s anything like my Gen 4, the quality will be abysmal. Chips like crazy

[@DadCMusic]

I’m just here for the subtle kickstand shaming…

[@iden2007]

made in China?

[@Spork123able]

Probably....most things are these days. 🤣

[@demri123]

Maybe taiwan

[@harrymurphey2634]

... let's see ... they took the front suspension away ... elimenated most of the gears ... and give you a fancy paint job ... save your money ... I like my 2013 DS 8.6 ... alot but that bike ain't it ...
