Strengths:    Very Comfortable

Weaknesses:    Break adjustments at handlebars to soft.

Bottom Line:

We organize bicycle tours in Bangkok and only use the Trek Navigator for our tours. They are the best and most comfortable available and are a iron horse

Strengths:    Comfortable, lightweight, and fast with different tires on it. Tough bike and the chain is virtually silent along with the gearing. Other riders get bugged when I am able to pass them on this bike! It's sneaky fast............I also added a trip computer, lights, and a pump.

Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:

I bought this bike used on Ebay and love it! The first thing I did was replace the tires to some thinner tires, it was slow and now I pass road racers! I also had to replace the seat. I ride 10-12 miles almost every day on bike paths and up and down hills. This bike is very comfortable and is enabling me to get into biking. I am trying to lose some weight and it's not a very heavy bike, does everything I want, so I am happy.

Strengths:    Durability (works perfectly after 1 year rough riding in all weather including snow) - only minor maintenance like gear adjustment and chain replacement was required.
Comfortable - Riding this bike is enjoyable for commuting, rough trails as well as long distance touring. With the more upright seating position, it's easy to look around and enjoy the surrounding city and countryside.

Weaknesses:    This is not the bike for the ultra-fast sportsmen. I wouldn't recommend it for extremely rough stony mountain trails (although it will do fine on unpaved roads or moderate difficulty trails).

Bottom Line:

If you like an universal, multi-purpose bike for riding all year round for commuting, recreation and bike touring, the Trek Navigator is the best choice. I don't have a car and I ride the bike 6 miles and back every day to work. On weekend I enjoy riding on the more rough mountain trails around Idaho Falls. This bike is also very comfortable for riding in all types of terrain and weather. The rear pannier can carry a very heavy load of groceries. I have traveled 5000 miles on this bike last year (including cold winter months) and with basic maintenance, it still works perfectly.

Strengths:    Sitting position

Weaknesses:    Not full suspension

Bottom Line:

I have the Navigator 300 WSD ladies bike and think it's great for general recreational riding. Love the sitting position, very comfortable seat. Horses for courses it's a great bike to run around with the kids on, can't fault it.

Weaknesses:    Everything.

Bottom Line:

I am an avid spinner but on occassion I like to ride my bike around the neighborhood- 7 or so miles at a fast clip. Well, this particular bike just doesn't have it. Yes, I am a senior but this bike is for the very slow, unsteady rider. When I try and go at a good pace, every muscle in my body screams out. It is stiff and unless I got a dud, it is the most miserable bike to ride that I have ever owned. I come home frustrated and angry that I actually bought and am stuck with this bike. It has so many gears and none of them are suitable. I have tryed them all. If I use number 7 on the right and a 2 or a 3 on the left, I can ride the bike sort of well but it is a cardiovascular challenge. If I put it lower, my legs fly around the wheels as it is too light. I am not convinced that TREK sells bikes that cause this much issue. I have taken it back for servicing to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
