Latest news, reviews and features for women who like to ride.

Road cycling, review: trek lexa s, at £650 the trek lexa s really impressed us.

If you are in search of a ‘good all rounder’ bike that will not make your eyes water when you see the price tag, then the Trek Lexa S might be just what you are looking for.

I have been riding the Trek Lexa S for about a month now. I have taken it for leisurely weekend spins, long training rides and even on a little off-road adventure from Esher to Shoreham by Sea. And I have to say I have been hugely impressed by this bike.

First up, it will not break the bank. At £650 (recently reduced from £700), it is worth every single penny and a few more in my opinion.

One of the most notable things about the bike, is how comfortable it is to ride. Its streamlined shaping and women’s specific geometry help to take the pressure away from the three contact points on the bike (handlebars, saddle and pedals). Riding a bike that does not fit you correctly can result in a whole host of problems such as neck and back pain and fatigue in your arms. While women’s specific geometry will alleviate these issues, it is still advised to opt for a professional bike fit so you can ensure that your bike is the correct fit for you.

Riding position on the bike is quite relaxed making it an especially good choice if you are planning on taking part in longer rides or sportives in the near future. Although don’t be perturbed this this. The bike is lovely and nippy when pushed. I even managed to beat my boyfriend up a short, snappy climb on a recent ride! This is in part thanks to the 100 Alpha aluminium frame which is both light and strong.

Gear shifting on this bike was absolutely fantastic. Unlike the majority of other bikes in this price range, the Lexa S offers a double instead of a triple (two chainwheels, not three). This is then matched with a nine speed cassette. This set up makes it quicker and more efficient to find the right gear eliminating clunky gear changes and allowing you more time to focus on enjoying yourself.

The Shimano Sora shifters were easily reached thanks to the female specific geometry of the bike. And I am glad to report that my bizarrely small hands reached the both the brakes and the gears with no problems whatsoever.

To further enhance the comfort of the ride, the Lexa S is equipped with carbon forks, which not only contribute to a lighter bike are also fantastic when it comes to absorbing shock, thus lessening the pressure on your arms and upper body.

The bike also comes equipped with a female specific saddle that suited my hardened backside just fine, but this is one element of the bike that you might want to upgrade. After all finding the perfect saddle will contribute no end to the enjoyment of your ride.

It is very hard to complete a review on the Trek Lexa S without passing comment on the look of the bike. Let’s just say there were more than a few oohs and ahhs when this one was taken out of the box. The sleek black on the bike has a subtle glitter through it giving the bike an extra special feel without being too girly.

Overall this is a really smashing bike. For £650 it really does offer incredible value for money. The women’s specific geometry, light aluminium frame, carbon forks and streamlined appearance make this bike feel special to ride. I honestly do not think you can go wrong with this one.

First road bikes can be tricky to balance the amount you are prepared to invest against the amount of enjoyment you can get out of the more affordable options. Thankfully, with this Trek Lexa S C Womens Road Bike 2016 there are no such issues as this affordable road bike has all the women's specific comfort and performance features you could want to ensure you are not inhibited from catching the road cycling bug. A superb blend of lightweight and speed thanks to the depth and breadth of Trek's experience in the road bike market; this is an excellent bike.

The fantastic 100 Series Alpha Aluminium is tailored to the female form using Trek's women's specific design (WSD) geometry, allowing you confident control as well as a fast position. Women's specification continues for the Bontrager handlebar and saddle to ensure the most comfortable and safe ride possible.

All cyclists can appreciate the weight saving, and improvement in ride quality, of the inclusion of a carbon fibre fork. This further allows this great bike to excel on your commute, road races, recreational riding or triathlons.

Fantastically, this road bike is ready for anything as there are rack and mudguard mounts ready to prepare this bike for winter, an epic adventure or just a more comfortable commute.

Improving for this model is the stepped up groupset to Shimano's reliable Sora nine speed parts. The greater number of cogs on the rear cassette mean you will more easily be able to find the perfect gear for getting you over any terrain. FSA add their a compact Vero chainset. The Bontrager wheels are another upgrade that saves weight and adds even more class to this great road bike.

In short, before purchasing your ideal bike do some research about its components, and also check for reviews online.

Lexa Women’s components

Fork material.

When it comes to the fork, this bike has a carbon one, so, it won’t add up to much weight to your bike. However, the price you have to pay for a carbon fork is considerably higher.

Wheels size

The Lexa Women’s 2016 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.

Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.

Trek reveals 2016 range: New models and loads of lower prices

Trek has introduced new models and lowered many prices of existing bikes for 2016. We visited the brand yesterday to check them all out, so l et’s go through some of the key categories.

When it comes to performance road bikes, Trek offers three different categories. Madone bikes are aimed at riders wanting aerodynamic efficiency; Domane bikes are for those who prioritise a smooth ride; Emondas are for people who want light weight.

Trek has introduced a new model in the Emonda ALR aluminium series. The Emonda ALR 4 (not pictured) is built around the same 1,050g 300 Series Alpha Aluminium frame as the existing bikes, and it has the same super-smooth welds, but it's specced with the new Shimano Tiagra groupset. It is available in either black or red and takes over as the most affordable Emonda you can buy, priced at £900.

The Shimano 105-equipped ALR 5 (above) comes down in price from £1,300 to £1,100 while the ALR 6 that we reviewed recently is now £1,400 rather than £1,700 . This model (head tube welds pictured below), which comes in a Shimano Ultegra build, is outstanding value for money.

Trek has reduced loads more prices across the Emonda range. We won’t go through the lot but the Emonda S 5 looks very good value after a price cut from £1,500 to £1,300.

The S series Emondas have carbon-fibre frames and forks, the S 5 (above) being built up with a full Shimano 105 groupset.

The SL 8 (above), available in either a SRAM Red or a Shimano Dura-Ace build, weighs in below the UCI’s 6.8kg minimum weight limit for racing. The price has dropped from £3,100 to £2,900.

The lightest of all the Emondas are the SLRs, made from a higher grade of carbon again. Trek gives the frame weight as just 690g. The SLR also has direct mount brakes and the full carbon fork comes with an asymmetric steerer that’s designed to flex a touch to provide more comfort and control over rough surfaces.

The SLR 6 (above), specced with a Shimano Ultegra groupset, stays at £4,300 but it now comes in this red smoke finish or in a matt powder blue.

There’s noticeably more colour in the Trek this year, which is good news for those who have had enough of black.

Here are just a couple of additional pics. This one is a Project One model in a bespoke finish. We think it looks pretty neat.

And this is a frame with a cutaway outer seat tube that allows you to see the inner seat tube (red) that’s free to flex and add comfort to the ride.

The women’s market has grown massively for Trek with a 14% increase in sales of its WSD (Women’s Specific Design) models over the past year. Trek also believes there has been an increase in the number of women buying smaller sized standard geometry bikes.

The aluminium Lexa S (£650), equipped with a Shimano Sora 9-speed drivetrain, remains at £650 but it’s now available in this Miami Green Pearl finish (above).

The Lexa SL (above) stays at £750 but it gets the new Shimano Tiagra groupset.

The Lexa SLX (not pictured) is a very different bike in that it’s made from a higher grade of aluminium and features an IsoSpeed Decoupler to add comfort (see above). A tapered head tube and oversized BB86.5 bottom bracket are designed to add stiffness. Built up with Shimano 105 kit, it’s price has now come down to £1,000. That looks like a steal to us.

The Silque bikes use the same IsoSpeed Decoupler as the Domane, but they’re built to a WSD geometry.

The Silque SL (above), in an existing colour that carries through, has a 400 Series OCLV Carbon frame with a tapered head tube and an oversized bottom bracket – both key features of performance frames these days – along with hidden mudguard mounts for added practicality. Your £2,200 gets you a Shimano Ultegra mechanical build.

The Silque SSL (above) has come way down in price to £3,800. Trek have downgraded the wheels from Bontrager Race X Lites to Bontrager Lites, but you’re still getting much better value now.

Trek is dropping many prices on its Boone and Crockett cyclocross bikes too. The existing top-end Boone 9 Disc, for example, was £3,700 but it’s now £3,200.

That’s a bike with a 600 Series OCLV carbon frame, Isospeed Decoupler, and a Shimano Ultegra groupset with RS685 hydraulic disc brakes.

The aluminium Crockett 7 that was £1,800 is now £1,600.

Perhaps the fact that Bianchi having been using celeste for 125 years makes people feel that Trek are copying them.

It seems to me the SL is no lighter than an awful lot of other frames(Canyon, Rose in particular give a lighter overall build) so why is it more likely to break?

The new Madone is a thing of beauty. I looked at the Crockett and Boone as a commuter, but the cost is just a bit too much for their entry carbon frame and I could not see enough special about the aluminium to go for it.

Hope some of the top end Madone flows to through to the mid-range. My 2009 needs an update.

Hey Colin, have you considered a Crossrip for commuting purposes? Or is it a carbon commuter that you are after specifically? If so, a 4 Series Domane would be a great option. It's also available in both disc and non-disc versions, and has eyelets for installing mudguards.

I've never been a fan of Trek bikes, but I like the look of the new Madone.

With the new Madone effectively decoupling the seatpost, is there any further need for the Domane??

Hey stealth, great question.

While the function of the IsoSpeed is essentially the same in both bikes, there is a significant difference in how much compliance is offered between the models.

Even with the IsoSpeed, Madone is not meant to be as compliant as Domane. Madone IsoSpeed performs the same task of minimising 'white noise' from the road, but it's compliance is slightly more than that of the Émonda. It's main purpose is to make an aero bike comfortable, which as most know, has been lacking in aero bikes to date.

That being said, anyone who rides one will notice less transfer of road vibration as a result of the IsoSpeed, but what will be the standout feature is that a bike designed to maximise it's aero profile is comfortable to ride.

That 9-series Madone looks nice.

I forgot that Bianchi had copyright of turquoise.

Why oh why do they persist in painting bikes in that colour and pretending its a Bianchi?

All the gear, no idea?

Leopard Blue > Celeste.

Less common too.

It looks nothing like Bianchi's colour...

Hi qwerky, not sure which bikes you're referring to, but we have no celeste coloured bikes in the range. If you mean the blue bikes, then this is the actual colour: http://www.trekbikes.com/uk/en/bikes/mountain/cross_country/top_fuel/

The website will be updated later this week with all of the new colours.

Emondas break easily in crashes. I know of several that have.

If you want something crash resistant buying one of the lightest production frames available probably isn't the most sensible option - you can squeeze the top tube between your fingers and see it give. In this respect anyone complaining about one braking in a crash is being a bit naive.

I'd like to see across-brand common standards measuring robustness of Carbon Bikes. Lacking that, one could assume that heavier carbon bikes might be more robust, but no brand would point out their frame is heavier. As it is, the market seems to focus only on less weight, which inevitably results in flimsy bikes and is especially problematic for riders over 150 kg.

Sure, any bike that's designed to be light has the potential to get damaged in a crash. However, it could be argued that any bike will break easily given the right conditions in a crash. These frames are rigorously tested in our labs, and then under Trek Factory Racing.

Anyone riding them should feel confident that they aren't getting something that is frail.

A vast range... none of which tug at the heart strings.. uninspired.

Sorry to hear that, shadwell. Have you had a chance to ride any of them? That might be all the tugging you need.
