2002 Trek Technical Manual

For 2002

These frames remain

unchanged from 2000.

Geometry

Our Hybrid frames are just

that- a blend of road and moun-
tain bike geometries. They use
lightweight, large diameter 700c
wheels for speed and a smooth
ride. They use mountain bike
angles and wheelbase dimensions
for stability and a more upright
position.

Ride

Our Hybrid bikes offer stable

handling and steady tracking.
They smoothly glide over the
ground, and are not as reactive
to weight changes or bumps
and other irregular terrain. This
makes them ideal for all-round
riding, commuting, or those just
getting into cycling.

Frame details

The aluminum hybrid frames

use Alpha frame technology (see page 9). With this
frame, somewhat oversize tubing creates a rigid struc-
ture between the bottom bracket and head tube, for ped-
aling efficiency. But we didn't' overdo the stiffness, our
Alpha hybrids are very comfortable and shock absorp-
tive.
