7500 FX components
Fork material
7500 FX has an aluminum fork, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the 7500 FX model has 700c aluminum wheels. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek 7500 FX has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
