The Trek Soho is the base model in Treks Soho line of urban bikes named after the famous SoHo district in Manhattan. This line is designed for style, comfort and utility and is an ideal choice for the hardcore commuter. It uses all weather hardware such as roller disc brakes and built-in fenders for use in any weather conditions. Brake cables travel through the bike's frame for a cleaner look. The Trek Soho 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 an 8-speed drivetrain with Shimano shifters that is unique to the 2009 Trek Soho. It uses several parts from Bontrage such as the seat, crank and H2 Plus reflective tires. The Trek Soho features an Alpha Black Aluminum frame with rubber top tube protection in sizes from 15" to 25" and comes in a Rainy Day Gray finish. As an added commuter bonus, it includes a custom built coffee thermos and corresponding holder.
