| Features | |
| It's a real mountain bike that's also perfectly suited to daily commutes, rides around campus or just getting from A to B on any surface | |
| Smaller frame sizes (13.5˝ and 15.5˝) have short-reach brake levers that make it easier and more comfortable for riders with smaller hands to brake confidently | |
| It has separate brake and gear levers (a feature that's common on more expensive mountain bikes) so you can fine-tune the positioning for comfort | |
| Rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorise, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter | |
| Like every Trek, it's backed by a lifetime warranty | |
