I’ve had over 20 bikes in my life but these new Dual Sports are unlike any other bike. I’m absolutely obsessed with this thing! It is such a great bike, it’s definitely my favorite bike that I’ve ever had. I was lucky that I caught the 2023 on sale because after test riding it last week and loving it, I kept looking at it online and on Thursday it showed up on sale, I called the store and they told me that it wasn’t on sale but luckily they put a quote in the computer for me at that price if I chose to buy it(Its the last one of the discontinued color in my size) and on Friday when I went to buy it, it wasn’t on sale on the website anymore, I think it was an error on the website lol but they honored the quote. My favorite color is od green so naturally I’m stoked to have last years black olive color, the pictures do not do this thing justice, it’s beautiful!!! I did put on ergon gp3 grips, an ergon st gel saddle, and race Chester pedals… I’ve already put hours on this thing in the short time I’ve had it, it’s so fun and enjoyable!

It looks great and I love that color! I would’ve chosen that color also but they didn’t have it in stock. However they had a red one so I bought that.

I agree with you on the ride!
The DS3 gen. 5 is the nicest commuter bike I’ve been on & that includes my FX3. The DS3 is more comfortable & rides fast on pavement. I really enjoy riding my DS3 & the 1x is so easy & it’s fast enough.
I was told that Trek is changing the FX3 frame & will be similar to the DS3? If that’s the case, the new FX will be super nice.
