Fahrräder, Tests, online, Rezensionen, Bewertungen

1. Just picked up the 8.4 model myself this weekend. Very fun bike to ride. Reminds me of my BMX days as a kid. The lower model has been great, I can't imagine how much better the 8.6 would be. Wife got the Neko and loves it.
2. can we add full Fender?
3. Great review thank you! ...How are you liking the bike now its been a year later?..I am considering buying the same bike!
4. Just a quick note:  You mentioned that there is no rear suspension.  That is not quite true.  There is about 20mm of travel in the upper seat stays.
5. Thanks for the review - I just decided to buy 8.6 DS instead of X-Caliber 8.
6. WOW!! this was a great review! --- Would you be so kind as to tell me the weight of your bike (just the way you have it set up now)? I would have mine set up exactly the same way you do, with the addition of front and rear racks for a possible tour.
   Thanks in advance.
7. Nice bike man enjoy! I'll be picking up my trek xcaliber 9 on Monday can't wait!
8. nice toys
9. do all trek ds owners have Toyota Tacoma ?
   and why do people buy them Trip computers? they are a waste of money !!!
   my Brother has one, its Stupid.
   I use endomondo app on my phone, its Free and a lot more info then them silly trip computers !
10. thanks for the review. if i may ask, what brand of handle bar extenders are those?
11. Fork is one of the weakest point of this bike. Change it to RockShox Paragon Gold (post mount) to complete the package ;)
12. Great review! I'm between this one, and the Specialized Crosstrail Comp Disk. Wondering if you researched the Specialized bike before deciding to get this one. If so, any insights/ recommendations? Tx
13. Thanks for the review... Just returned 2016 ds 8.4 wasn't really impressed with brakes or shifting... So will probably go with the 8.6. Just wish I could get the same color scheme, with the upgraded components.
14. Just curious: since you're a biker, don't you get a little confuse using the right hand to back wheel break?
    You're probably more used to break the front wheel with the right hand, don't you?
    Maybe you should try the English way: front break @ right hand and back break @ left hand. I, personally, couldn't adapt to the English way. LoL
15. Nice review. I've been keeping my eye on the DS 8.6 for the last few years. Everytime I get around to purchasing one they come out with the new edition. Anyway, did you go tubeless on your tires?
