Preview: 2012 Trek Bikes Neko Dual Sport Line | Bike Shop Girl

Pretend we are listening to the Superman jingle in the background? ?Is it a hybrid? Is it a mountain bike? No! It is a Dual Sport bike!?

Joking aside, the Trek Dual Sport lineup, when it was under the Gary Fisher brand originally, was a huge favorite of stocking bikes when in my shop. It has 29er size wheels, strong enough to take light off roading, but efficient enough for rocking on the road or commuting. For the average person it is the true DO ALL bike. Think of it in line with a cyclocross bike, but for folks on a budget or not wanting drop bars and a leaned over position.

Starting in 2011 Trek brought the Dual Sport to the women?s line. Welcome the 2012 Trek Neko Dual Sport lineup.

2012 Trek Neko $529.99

21 speeds, double wall (stronger) wheels, and 700x38mm tires. A perfect starter bike. Room for racks, fenders and with a slightly ?dropped? top tube, this bike is a great alternative to a hybrid.

2012 Trek Neko S $599.99

The same frame as the base model but an extra gear in the back (7 gears to 8), nicer tires, grips, handlebar and most importantly a lock out on the fork. The lock out makes it so you aren?t bouncing up and down on the suspension on the road, and the nicer tires will avoid more flats. The nicer gear system (8 speeds) will last a longer, and the shifters alone are worth the upgrade.

2012 Trek Neko SL $839.99

Still the same frame but they?ve upgraded everything else. 9 gears in the back, pretty industry standard and easy to find if you need replaced. DISC brakes (great for commuting and longevity), much better wheels and an all white saddle. The saddle alone will make you faster, I can guarantee and prove it!
