My 1999 Trek hybrid has 26x1.95 tires, 3x8 gearing, rim brakes, aluminum frame, chromoly steel fork, and is in mint condition. Overall, not too different from this bike. No point in "upgrading" to this.
I hear you. But, geometry is s big difference.
@@richarde1355 When people talk about the improved "geometry" of modern hybrids, it seems to me that they're mostly referring to the more upright riding position. Bike manufacturers accomplish that by drastically shortening the seat tube. But that results in a much shorter pedal-to-seat distance. So in order to get optimal pedal-to-seat distance, riders have to extend their seat post much farther out of the frame than they did on older bikes with longer seat tubes. Doing that results in a less upright riding position, and you're right back where you were on 1990s hybrid bikes.
On my old bike, I could achieve basically the same upright seating position as on modern hybrids by dropping my seat as low as it will go, and raising my handlebars as high as they will go. I don't do that because that wouldn't be optimal for me. My seat would be much too close to the pedals.
Look at how the DS 1 is set up in the video: The seat is about level with the top of the stem, the same as on my old hybrid. How is that going to give you a more upright riding position than on my bike? My bike has a longer seat tube, and a more horizontal top tube, but the height of the seat in relation to the handlebars ends up being about the same as it is on this DS 1. So I'd be just as hunched-over on the DS 1 as I am on my old hybrid. And my head tube is less steeply angled, so that gives me more responsive handling.
Thanks for another great bike review. I would love to see you review any of Priority Bicycle's bikes that use belts instead of chains. They use either Pinion Gearboxes or internally geared hubs, depending on the model.
Thanks for the comment. I've got a few videos of Priority Belt drive bikes on the channel including their bike with the Pinion gearbox, have a watch of those.
I got the ds3 two weeks ago, did around 300km on it, i cant stop riding it, it makes me wanna go on forever, exellent bike.
What modifications have you made to it, if any?
@@richarde1355 i put a 35° stem on it and two big panniers for groceries, this bike is a great do it all bike, for commuting, trekking, vacation, good cheaper alternative for a Koga Worldtraveller.
Mudguards, lights, kickstand. Perfect commuter in any weather.
Will you be looking at a Dual Sport 3 soon? I'm considering it.
That would make a good option for somebody wanting to try bike backing or light touring on mixed surfaces too. At 100Kg I really don't get on with coil shocks so I think the rigid fork is a good move especially with the big tires, but I'm remain to be convinced on the cables through the headset. Looks like a lot of complexity for minimal benefit. Seems like everyone is doing that this year though :-/
Nice bike
A Nishiki Manitoba comes in at 27 pounds at a 499 retail minus the unnecessary disc brakes. Also, Trek is similar to the original mountain bikes before suspension was available and even those were a few pounds lighter.
ds1 gen5 seems to be bit heavier than gen4, even with that front suspension replaced by rigid fork
Thank God & bicycles your back, with that ....... 🤷🏼♂️ it has to be rough finding time for the best things in life, bicycle, trail dogs and personal liberty.
Speaking of trail dogs, have you ever tried bikejoring?
Hi .I'm hoping one day ,you show a
Trek Sport FX 6 .I'm watching Trek sales all the time, but this bike never gets a discount. At $2700 is too much money for these days .
If it goes down too $2000 I'm sold 🤗
He has a video on it….sick bike I want one too but pricey yea….I’ve got the 4 it’s cool too
honestly, i would rather buy marin muirwoods again
14kg is too heavy, for me anyway.
Nice review but this bike is total trash in total price maybe 300usd :-) Only frame have some value, rest is garbage.
Huh? In a world of Walmart bikes that are $350+ this at $599 is hard to argue with. Nothing is $300 anymore.
@@Jamesthebikeguy For $298, the Ozark Trail Vibe is similar, if you can live with 1x8 gearing and cheap suspension fork.
@@JamesthebikeguyI must say Walmart now takes a more canyon approach to assembly.
