The New 2017 Trek CrossRip Light Touring Bikes

Table of Contents

The 2017 trek crossrip 3, the 2017 trek crossrip 2, the 2017 trek crossrip 1, want to compare these touring bikes with dozens of others, helpful resources, touring & bikepacking bike overview.

The Trek CrossRip is a light touring bike that was introduced to Trek’s range in 2013. While it’s always been marketed at the fitness and commuting crowd, it’s actually a great light touring rig too. In fact, Trek found themselves with two near-identical bikes last year (the CrossRip and 720) which broadened the reach of the bikes to different consumers.

The 2017 Trek CrossRips are now available in three different models, with prices ranging from US $1099 to $2099. A flagship model now sits on the top (Trek CrossRip 3), providing the same frame, but with upgraded Shimano parts across the board. The two lower models (Trek Crossrip 1 & 2) have been updated with the newer Shimano groupsets, and have both received a US $100 price drop!

For 2017 there’s a frame upgrade to utilise a lighter weight, more high-performing aluminium that Trek call ‘200 Series Alpha’. In addition, the carbon fork is all-new but with the same low-rider mounts for a front rack. It’s no longer available on the base model, however.

The geometry of the Trek CrossRip has also been modified for 2017. While the sizing is exactly the same across the board in terms of stack and reach, the steering speed and overall wheelbase has been modified to make the bike more stable. This has been achieved by making the head angle one-degree slacker and using a carbon fork with 5mm more rake. The result is slightly slower steering, a longer wheelbase and additional toe clearance from the front wheel.

The all-new flagship model, the Trek CrossRip 3, uses Shimano 105 11-speed parts throughout, including the brilliant Shimano RS685 hydraulic brake levers and calipers. These gears feel great, and the braking performance is really impressive for a road groupset. The gear range on the 2017 Trek CrossRip 3 is 29-123 gear inches – which is on-par with other light touring bikes. Given the quality of parts, this bike would make for a great all-rounder road, gravel and touring bike at US $2099 .

The 2017 Trek CrossRip 2 has received a very minimal change to its specification. It now uses a matching Shimano Tiagra crankset, and Trek have also installed a 11-34t cassette which gives slightly better climbing gears than the outgoing CrossRip LTD. The gear range is 27-123 gear inches which is slightly wider than the flagship model due to that new wide-range cassette. Braking is taken care of with the awesome TRP Hy/Rd brakes which are cable operated until the caliper, where it switches to a hydraulic piston to squeeze the most out of disc brake performance.

The 2017 Trek CrossRip 2 retails for US $1579  which is US $100 cheaper than last year. With the carbon fork and 10-speed parts, it certainly offers the best value-to-performance ratio too.

The 2017 Trek CrossRip 1 is now US $100 cheaper than last year! One of the ways Trek reduced the cost of the Trek CrossRip 1 was by replacing the carbon fork with an alloy version. This is only expected to add 100-200g to the total weight of the bike. There’s been a crankset change to a 48-32t FSA model that offers better gearing for light touring. The lowest gear is 27 gear inches, but if you swapped the cassette to an 11-34t you could achieve 25 gear inches without too much trouble. There’s been a brake upgrade to TRP Spyre C mechanical disc brakes. These brakes are awesome because they pull both pads in, rather than just one, providing more even braking than comparable brands.

The 2017 Trek CrossRip 1 will retail for  US $1099 .

• trek crossrip

should i buy the crossrip ltd for a discounted price of 1799 here in canada or the crossrip 2 for the original price of 1999?

If you think you may need the slightly lower climbing gears (ie. the 11-34t cassette) you may as well spend the extra $200 now and get the newer model. If you’re likely to keep the gearing as is, then grab this years Crossrip LTD.

just bought a CROSSRIP 3. WHAT Front racks will fit on this bike?

I highly recommend the Tubus Tara. But you might like some of the other lowrider options I’ve mentioned in my front rack resource: https://www.cyclingabout.com/all-about-front-racks-bicycle-touring/

Words Derri Dunn | Photos Daniel Gould

Until its 2013 models were unveiled, American cycle behemoth Trek offered a dizzying array of commuter vehicles: dozens of bike types, from brash urban fixies to basketed shoppers. Yet, conspicuously, it hadn’t yet produced anything to fill one of the most successful iterations of the all-purpose bike to emerge in recent years: the drop-bar, disc-braked, multi-terrain machine.

That all changed last year when Trek’s UK arm chose to slim and streamline its range. Gone were the Dutch-style bikes, the singlespeeds and the electric cycles; in came the all-purpose CrossRip.

Although there’s a nod to its cyclo-cross roots in the bike’s name, Trek makes few bones about this being a much more everyday vehicle than a race bike. After all, it has two specialist cyclo-cross ranges already, the Cronus and the Ion. The CrossRip is less about racing and more about real life — one bike to do it all.

All-purpose primed

There’s certainly plenty to recommend it for a variety of purposes. The fork and rear stays bear the full complement of drillings to accept any combination of mudguards and luggage racks, and the clearances are massive around the tyres to make sure it’ll accommodate your chosen rack-fender set-up.

Ridden ‘naked’, it’ll take 29x1.8in mountain bike tyres, Trek says, so you could turn it into a fairly capable mud-plugger too, if that’s more your thing. With skinnier rubber and a heavy-duty rack, it could work nicely as a tackle-anything, round-the-world touring machine, particularly as it has mechanical disc brakes for ultimate reassurance descending rough, mountainous roads with luggage piled up.

In fact, the brakes are just one part of the bike that demonstrates pleasing attention to detail: the front one is a common 160mm size, but at the back, where frankly you don’t need as much stopping power, the rotor is a mere 140mm. The Hayes CX is an unusual choice — compared to the more frequently specced Avid BB5 and BB7 road brakes — but they are neither twangy nor feeble in use on road or over rougher surfaces.

So the CrossRip feels adventure-ready, but if the ride to work is as wild as you get, it’s just as well prepped for you. Tellingly, the wheel skewers are Allen key bolt-type, rather than quick-release, providing much better theft protection. The dull grey paintwork is another nod to urban intentions, blending into the metropolis in an understated way. Less so the pretty anodised blue trim on ferrules and skewers, though, which always give a really trick finish and expensive sheen to any bike.

Gearing on the CrossRip is Shimano’s new iteration of Sora, now with sensible STI levers instead of the thumb paddles of old. It’ll never have the finesse of the more expensive gearsets in this series — Tiagra and 105 — but it’s a perfectly functional nine-speed set-up. That said, on a £950 bike, this groupset seems a tad stingy. Sora is used because, we’d guess, the budget has been chewed up elsewhere, notably by the provision of internal cable routing. Unlike the anodised blue trimmings, this is not just about looks — it’s the ultimate protection for the cable inners, particularly on a machine like this, which might see some mucky trails.

Largin’ it

On our first outing on the CrossRip, the first thing we noticed was how large it felt and looked. Our test bike was the smallest size — 50cm — despite a pretty short little stem, yet for our 5ft 6in rider the CrossRip appeared both long and broad. A wide set of bars with padding below the tape are part of this beefy illusion, as are the 700x32c tyres, of course, but it’s also a long bike, which you can feel in its stability once rolling.

The ride isn’t especially cosseting or refined, but nor is it clattering or agricultural. The CrossRip feels like it is just getting on with the job of steamrollering you over the rough and smooth in a no-nonsense manner. There’s some sensation of road-drag as you pull away, which a smoother set of tyres would improve immeasurably — well worth it if you ride mostly on tarmac.

If you never tackle rough stuff, the CrossRip is more durability than you need. On the same budget, you could find a lighter, nippier road bike with a posher groupset that would meet your requirements. But if you have that niggling feeling that one day you might want to venture down the path less travelled or perhaps take that six-month two-wheeled jaunt overland to Mongolia, this multi-purpose steed feeds into those aspirations very nicely, while still being perfectly at home as your everyday ride.

Kona Jake £1199

For years, the Kona Jake was almost peerless as the entry-level cyclo-cross bike of choice. Nevertheless, to keep up with current trends for disc brakes and all-round use, the 2013 model has received some pretty major upgrades. Most noticeable are those rather beautiful Tektro Lyra 140mm disc brakes. We think they look lovely, but sadly, in our experience, the Lyras can be a pig to set up and maintain. The Tiagra groupset is a small upgrade from the CrossRip’s Sora, but at £250 more, the Jake requires a chunk more budget.

Is there a bike that can do everything from the weekday commutes, dipping in and out of traffic, to the weekend adventure, exploring paths that seem less travelled? Well, the Trek CrossRip 3 105 Disc Road Bike 2017 has been designed to do just that with an incredibly strong and stiff 200 Series Alpha Aluminium frame, carbon all-road disc front fork and a quick-shifting, reliable Shimano 105 groupset.

Precision braking is achieved with powerful Shimano RS785 hydraulic disc brakes, enabling the same level of stopping power in both wet and dry conditions - ideal for when you head off road to gravel paths and through puddles in the city. 700 x 32c Bontrager H5 Hard-Case Ultimate tyres adds to this control, providing you with enough puncture protection and grip to see you through harsher conditions without slowing you down too much on smoother roads.

Shimano 105 gearing gives a wide range of choice for tackling tough climbs and speeding down rewarding descents but also stays reliable in the wet weather. A blend of Bontrager components litters the CrossRip 3 105 Disc, allowing you to ride peacefully in the knowledge that every single part has been specifically designed for the bike you’re riding.

Trek redesigns its CrossRip range

Trek has updated its versatile CrossRip range, designed for everything from commuting to gravel riding, and altered the geometry for 2017 (yes, we’re talking about 2017 bikes already!).

The CrossRip range has been around for years and the bikes are a little difficult to classify.

“The drop-bar CrossRip is surefooted when roads get rough, quick in traffic, and comfortable over the long haul,” according to Trek. “Commuter? Gravel grinder? Café racer? Yes. CrossRip pairs the efficiency of a road bike with the go-anywhere durability of something more.”

That’s the official line.

The bikes come with drop bars and disc brakes along with mudguard and rack mounts (including low-rider mounts on the fork for a front rack), and the frames are now made from Trek’s 200 Series Alpha Aluminium.

The 2017 CrossRips get a new geometry. Top tube lengths are slightly shorter than previously, the idea being to make the bikes more agile and easier to fit to more riders.

So, for example, a 56cm CrossRip has a 56cm seat tube, a 57cm effective top tube, and a 16cm head tube. The stack height (the vertical distance from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the head tube) is 59.6cm and the reach (the horizontal distance between those two points) is 40.2cm.

The £1,200 CrossRip 2 (above) is built up with a Shimano Tiagra 10-speed drivetrain and TRP Hy/Rd disc brakes. 

Read our TRP Hy/Rd review here , and read our Shimano Tiagra review here . 

The CrossRip 3 (main pic) is £1,600. This one has a Shimano 105 groupset and Shimano’s RS785 hydraulic disc brakes.

GIANT AND REDLINE

ride comfort, versatility, looks awesome

weight (minor)

This bike was bought for road riding where roads are dirt or very rough and also for around town and light touring. I bought the Crossrip LTD (2014) with the 105 group set and Tektro HYRD hydraulic over cable disc brakes. I have only put about 250km on the bike so far, for which it has been used mainly on roads, paths and a few rail trails and paddock crossings (no touring yet). The ride is very smooth and comfortable with a very relaxed geometry compared to a road bike. The wheelbase is quite long with quite a long top tube so be careful with sizing - I had to get a size smaller compared to my road bike because of this (56cm for my Cannondale roadie compared to a 54cm Crossrip). The head tube is a bit higher off the ground and the fork has a noticeably larger rake than a road bike too so the fact that you are sitting higher and further back is reasonably apparent. The 105 drive train is quiet, smooth and shifts effortlessly. The gearing is lower than a road bike (smaller chain rings and larger sprockets on the cluster) so if you are planning to tag along on a bunch ride with some road bikes, you will be on the bottom of the cluster quite a bit. The Tektro HYRD brakes are smooth and efficient with the extra brake levers on the top position of the handlebars being extremely helpful when riding over any rough stuff and even more so when descending over a rough or loose surface. The downside of the extra levers being that, if you carry a handlebar mounted bag, there won't be room for it. The tyres do an admirable job in the dirt and on the road. Keep in mind that they only inflate to 80psi so don't expect road bike speed from them. At the other end of the spectrum, they require a minimum of 60psi so don't expect the kind of forgiveness you get from a MTB tyre. They are (as advertised) somewhere in the middle of the two. It has a bit more weight than a road bike but that's to be expected with everything from the frame to the tyres and rims being beefed up to take the knocks it was designed to take. Aesthetically, it looks fantastic with the polished alloy frame and contrasting hubs and fork giving it a hand built look. I expect that this bike will stay in my collection for many years to come.

This bike (2013 Trek CrossRip Elite) was purchased to handle potholes, speed bumps, incidental mud and gravel--and to handle routine cargo. On that account the bike has been a success. I've put a couple of thousand miles on it, and the rims are still true and the spokes are still as tight as when it left the show room. I really like the Bontrager H5 tires, because they are absolutely sure-footed on bad pavement. I don't make a practice of riding in the rain, so no comment there. When they go, I might prefer going from 32's down to 28's, because they are not particularly fast. The frame is 58cm, and feels generous even though I'm almost 6'-2". With the seat post run out pretty high, and riding in the drops, and the stem set low, the ride is not harsh. I've changed over to Ritchie Biomax bars, so my hand position is somewhat more vertical than with the stock bars. I'm also trying out a Selle SMP Pro saddle, instead of the plain vanilla Bonty. The handling is relaxed, which suits my non-aggressive riding style. It gets a little twitchy with a big load in the panniers, and for just hauling some tools, a lock, and wallet and cell phone, it rides a lot nicer using a handlebar bag. The Sora 9-speed drivetrain is fair. It's starting to get a little balky, jumping cogs under load, but I think it is more about cable routing and adjusters--I already stripped out the cheesy plastic cable adjuster for the front derailleur. The brakes are a disappointment. They require an unusual amount of hand pressure--much more than feels secure. plus, they tend to rumble, particularly the front. All in all, I like riding it, particularly without panniers. On the other hand, I might have been just as happy with a Cross Check or something else, for less money. If the premium I paid was for disc brakes, then it was not worth it.

Well-thought-out machine for everyday riding, rough stuff, fitness and leisure riding. Buy if you’re looking for a commuter-cum-weekend away all-rounder

Tough, practical and comfortable with well-considered kit

Not that light, and the gearing won’t suit big-time adventurers
