Trek Verve 2 2020 [Review]

OVERVIEW

Trek Verve 2

The Trek Verve 2 is an excellent hybrid bike, that doubles as both a recreation bike and race bike. It makes quite an impression, thanks to its impressive features. For starters, it has a comfortable, shock-absorbing seat saddle fully imbued with a padded Bontrager model. The light alloy frame makes it ideal for traveling at high speed and it is very responsive when taking turns. The tyres are designed to give the rider stability and are resistant to punctures.

LIGHTWEIGHT ALLOY FRAME

The Trek Verve 2 body frame is made from lightweight alloy. This makes the bike not bulky and easy to manuever even at top speeds and around sharp bends. It is also fitted with water bottle racks and a mudguard. The handgrips of this bike are designed ergonomically to give the rider more grips when riding. In addition, the shock-absorbing saddle is fitted on an adjustable stem to make the rider comfortable on uneven trails.  

PUNCTURE RESISTANT TIRES

The tyres of this hybrid bike are of top-notch quality. They are wide to give the rider more traction and stability when riding on uneven terrains. Even while on forest trails the tough tyres always hold their own. It comes with hard Bontrager tyres that are resistant to punctures. So, a rider can have fun throughout. 

ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION STEM

The stem of the bike can be adjusted to fit according to the height of the rider. This is an addition to the comfortability rating of this bike. The suspension of its seat post helps to make the rider stable and sit comfortably. This is because the suspension also supports the frame and helps make the stems sturdy.
