Trek FX Sport SL 5 — Carbon Fitness Commuter Bike

Frame: 400 Series OCLV Carbon with a slightly shorter reach and taller stack, internal routing, a 3S chain keeper, flat-mount disc brakes, and DuoTrap S compatibility. The carbon fork adds hidden fender mounts.

Drivetrain: SRAM Apex 1x11 with a long-cage Apex 1 rear derailleur, an 11-42 microSHIFT XLE cassette, and a KMC X11 chain, giving a wide gear range from a single shifter.

Brakes: Shimano hydraulic disc brakes with MT201 levers, UR300 calipers, and 160mm Shimano RT10 centerlock rotors for consistent all-weather stopping.

Wheels / Tires: Bontrager Paradigm tubeless-ready rims (32-hole, 21mm) on Formula CL-51/CL-52 alloy hubs with 14g stainless spokes. They're paired with Bontrager GR1 Expert 700x40c Hard-Case Lite tyres for speed, traction, and flat protection.

Cockpit: Bontrager Satellite Plus IsoZone alloy bar with 15mm rise and vibration-damping design, Satellite Plus IsoZone ergonomic grips, a Bontrager Elite stem, and a Bontrager Comp 27.2mm alloy seatpost.

Carry-anything mounts: Mounts for a rack, fenders, a top tube bag, and water bottles, with room for tyres up to 700x42mm. Bontrager City pedals are included.

The FX Sport SL 5 suits a rider who wants a fast, light carbon bike for regular fitness rides and commuting, but prefers a flat bar to road drops. It's a strong pick for riders stepping up from an entry-level hybrid who plan to add a rack or fenders and ride through spring and fall. Owners will appreciate the crisp SRAM Apex shifting, the quick feel of the carbon frame when accelerating away from stops, and 40mm tyres that handle rough pavement and gravel paths with ease.
Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to work with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

Before you leave the shop, our team can set your saddle height and bar position so the FX Sport SL 5's upright geometry feels right from day one. With mounts for a rack and fenders built in, we can fit a rear rack for panniers and full-coverage fenders sized to the 40mm tyres. We'll set tyre pressure for your weight and route, mount front and rear lights for early-morning or evening riding, and help you choose a lock that suits where you park. If you want ride tracking, we can also install and pair a DuoTrap S sensor. For ongoing care, our service team handles tune-ups, brake bleeds, and SRAM Apex drivetrain adjustments.

Q1: What size Trek FX Sport SL 5 do I need?
The FX Sport range uses overlapping height-based sizing from XS through XL, so if you're between two sizes, your inseam, reach, and how upright you like to sit will decide it. Bar width and stem length can also change by size. Check the full geometry on Trek's chart (linked above), then visit either Fresh Air location so our team can confirm your size in person.

Q2: Is the Trek FX Sport SL 5 right for the Mission Creek Greenway?
Yes, it's an excellent match. The 40mm Bontrager GR1 Expert tyres roll comfortably over the Greenway's packed gravel sections and stay quick on paved stretches. The 11-42 range gives you easy gearing for the climbs back into town. The upright geometry and IsoZone bar and grips keep your hands and back comfortable on longer out-and-back rides.

Q3: Does the FX Sport SL 5 come with rack and fender mounts?
Yes. Trek designs the FX Sport SL 5 with mounts for a rack, fenders, a top tube bag, and water bottles, and the carbon fork has hidden fender mounts for a clean look. It clears tyres up to 700x42mm. Our team can help you choose a compatible rack and fenders and install them before you ride away.
