The cables are neatly integrated, there is an ANT+-compatible speedometer transmitter in the left-hand chainstay and the saddle sits on a special seatpost that provides a high level of comfort. The fact that this is a model from Trek's WSD women's line is only evident from the saddle and perhaps also from the aubergine-coloured paintwork. The fact that the testers were not immediately enamoured by the bike may be due to the unusually short stem, which can of course be easily replaced. The testers unanimously mentioned a relatively nervous steering behaviour, which cannot be explained by the frame geometry alone. The very good frame and the high-quality equipment nominally give the bike the test victory, but we realise: The best bike is not always the one you like best.
