Trek 520 Disc Gravel Bike 2022
The Trek 520 Disc Gravel Bike is made to go the distance, with a quality steel frame and relaxed touring geometry to keep you comfortable on the longest journeys. Seasoned long-distance touring riders prefer cable disc brakes for their ease of service and repair, making this bike ideal for expeditions. With the triple chainset combined with a wide-ranging cassette, you get a seriously wide range of gears to help you up any gradient. Reliable Shimano Sora shifters and derailleurs take care of the mechanics and the bike comes finished with luggage racks and puncture-resistant tyres so it's ready for adventure, straight out of the box.
Highlights
- 520 is built to hold up, and it's super reliable over the long haul – you'll leave this bike to someone in your will
- ThruSkew ensures that the front wheel will never drop out unintentionally, and makes it easier to remove your wheel without removing all of your front cargo
- There's no better way to see the world than from the saddle, and this is the bike that answers your wanderlust
- All-weather disc brakes and puncture-resistant tyres give you the confidence to take on bigger adventures in any conditions
- It's the longest-running model in Trek's lineup, and one of the best-loved too
