Trek District Carbon

The Trek District Carbon is the top model in Trek's District series of urban bikes designed to look as good as they are to ride. The entire District line features a singlespeed drivetrain for a simple and efficient ride at high speeds. The Trek District uses a belt-drive system rather than typical bike chain eliminating the frustrations associated with chains such as lubrication and chain jams. The belt in made from a carbon fiber composite which prevents stretching and its lightweight design gives a ninja-quiet ride. It uses race quality several parts from Bontrage such as the road drop handle bars, saddle and All Weather Race tires. As the name suggests, the Trek District Carbon features a lighter and stronger OCLV Black Carbon frame which comes in sizes from 50 to 60cm in a Matte Black Finish.
