Trek 1.2 review

Jan 2016 · David Rome

Unfortunately, the 1.2 doesn’t quite do the Trek badge justice – nervous-feeling tyres and weak brakes left us lacking confidence in this entry-level model. Buy if you're after a solid entry-level bike, and don't mind spending extra on replacing the tyres and brakes

Highs
  • Proven frame geometry with balanced handling and position, quality wheels, saddle

Lows
  • Tyres, brakes, tight handlebar bend, and did we mention tyres?

Very good value, ideal for anyone looking for a first road bike, with just the brakes as a low point
