Expirience with the Trek Farley 9.6

Ludwig Döhl If you buy the Racebike of Trek, you will really feel suitably prepared for on sporty excursions. Because that´s exactly what it was developed for. 455 mm short chainstays and a moderate reach make the handling pleasantly playful. The seating position of the on long tours moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. On climbs, the Farley 9.6 lets you sweat. Other bikes 3399 Euro climb better. Heavy riders over 85 kilos aren´t likely to encounter too many problems with the high weight of 13 kg. For lighter riders, this could be a disturbance. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Trek engineers. For 3399 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Trek sets the bar high!
