Trek 3900 Disc Reviews

Model/Year: 3900 Disc 2011

Pros: Frame, ride, components,price

Cons: Saddle but that's because I haven't gotten use to it or broken it in.

Recommendation: I purchased this bike over the weekend to get back into riding (use to be into bmx as a kid) and I must say that I really like this bike. I know you may read others say things about the disc brake system and forks but I took mine out to Stony Creek today and it was GREAT! I had a wonderful time riding the trails and even trying my hand on the skill course and made it out just fine even with all the obstacles. This is not just a bike for beginners. I would recommend this to anyone except maybe the X-Game type guys and gals. The frame is sturdy and can handle anything thrown at it. And at $500 and a lifetime warranty what more can you ask for.

Pros: Frame,durability

Cons: Brakes,forks,pedals

Recommendation: A good entry level bike. Not suitable for anything beyond moderate downhill riding.

Model/Year: 2010

Pros: Frame, Good platform to build on...

Cons: All components

Recommendation: If you dont have a lot of money to dump into a bike this is the way to go... Great frame to build on. Since this is the bike that got me started it gets 3 stars...

Pros: weight, handling, price

Cons: fork, saddle, pedals, promax brakes

Recommendation: My first real MTB, but I have ridden a few other higher quality bikes. I love this bike. The price point is awesome and with some upgrades the bike is on point. the saddle and pedals have to be replaced immediately. i also replaced the brakes as they seemed to need a lot of adjusting and the rotors bend easy with heavy riding (trails/jumps). The suspension leaves a lot to be desired and I think after I upgrade the fork I can see myself riding this bike for a long time without any more upgrades.

Pros: Great price, Sturdy Frame takes pretty much whatever you throw at it. Components hold up very well for lower priced stuff. the warranty rocks

Cons: The ProMax Disc Brakes SUCK! First off they DO NOT grab its so hard to stop with them, and second they break(not brake) VERY easy i have broken 4 front calipers and 6 rear ones. luckily they were replaced free with warranty.

Recommendation: Replace the brakes or buy the V-brake model. then youre good to go.
