Trek Bike 4500

Description

Trek Bike 4500 is one of the best bikes for cycling in Vietnam? We have a great selection of Trek Bikes 4 Series including this Trek bicycle 4500 (front suspension) to rent out at our garage in downtown Hanoi. The bike rental comes with water bottle holder, helmet, and simple spare toolkit.

The Trek 4500 sits right at the top of Trek’s entry-level bike bracket. The chassis is a typical aluminum XC frame, with a wishbone seat-stay and an oversized down tube that flares wider to stiffen up the front end. The fork is another dependable RockShox Dart, but with 80mm travel, disc and V-brake bosses, and a lockout switch, as well as rebound adjustment.

Bar height looks high but that’s due to the long steerer tube and 4cm of spacer washers. Shuffling these and flipping the 10-degree stem lets you go XC low, or get down out of the wind for road work. Even as it is, the front end feels a lot more flrmly planted than the Saracen’s on any twisty or uphill trails.

The drivetrain is the best in the test. Instead of 24-speed Acera or Alivio it’s 27-speed Deore, which gives smaller steps between gears as well as a handy 22x34T bottom for climbing. While the 4500 comes with V-brakes, its wheels are ready for upgrading thanks to disc hubs – so you can skip cable discs and go straight to the hydraulics that any upgrader would want anyway.

The Bontrager Jones ACX tyres coped well with a variety of conditions, from armoured trails to thick mud. On road the rear end is commuter ready, like the Saracen, although you’ll need to bodge something to fit a full front mudguard.

Trek 4500 a good bike for the most part. We recommend this bike for anyone starting out in the sport who are unsure of whether or not they want to continue it. This bike will get you out on the trail, but if you like it enough to ride it several times a week, the components will not withstand the abuse.

Featuring our most popular Trek mountain bike models, we proudly offer rentals in Hanoi that are perfect for exploring all of the roads and trails the city has to offer. Alongside mountain and road bikes for rent, Vietnam Cycling also offer an exclusive range of electric bikes for hire.

We recommend you making a reservation in advance to make sure the bike is ready when you arrive. For a single day rental, we recommend you to arrive at our bike garage about 30 minutes before your trip departure to try out the bikes. For a multi-day rental, you should come to our garage one day in advance to see if you would like to put any gear on the bike (bike gears are not included in the rental price). Ideally bring your own helmet, if not we can provide one.
