Expirience with the Trek Farley 5

Ludwig Döhl If you like a lively bike, you should take the Trek Hardtail into consideration. The 455 mm short chainstays make the bike playful and more maneuverable in tighter corners. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Trek Farley 5 suite the taste of most bikers. On climbs, other bikes in the under 3000 Euro present a little better performance than the Trek Farley 5. Heavy riders over 85 kilos aren´t likely to encounter too many problems with the high weight of 14,7 kg. For lighter riders, this could be a disturbance. For trail lovers, one point dominates: the Trek Farley 5 scores in the decent with an extremely good geometry, a high-quality suspension and grippy tires. Trek gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
