Trek’s 7300 is a super-plush ride no matter where you roam thanks to an easy-pedaling aluminum frame and a suspension fork to smooth any road or path. Sublime comfort comes in the form of a relaxed upright riding position and adjustable stem. And, the 24 gears mean easy climbing, too. Plus, you’ll love the cushy Bontrager seat and suspension seatpost that makes the bumps disappear.

Lightweight

Trek has a lot to contend with in this bike. After 4 years of lightweight riding ( under 200 miles )this bike has fallen apart. The spokes have broken on the front and the back tires. The seat post has broken and does not function. Several parts have rusted out and the list goes on ands on.

I seriously would not recommend this bike to anyone. Trek has definitely a quality issue with this model. I have been buying bikes all my life and never have I experienced so many broken spokes and basic quality issues. I bought a Trek on good faith that they provide a good quality bike. I have owned several Treks in the past as well and I have never had a problem such as this one. I am 5'10 @ 190 on a 21" frame. This bike should handle me with ease...

Easy rolling, high quality materials, low maintenance, 24 speeds!

It's not a road bike, so you'll have to really peddle to keep up with a speedy road racer. But, who wants to do that?

In 2010, I needed to replace my 20-year old Specialized Hybrid and found the 7300. At 6-2 and 200 pounds, I was looking for a sturdy ride that wouldn't kill my aching back or neck. This bike has been fantastic! I've put 3,000 miles, including 2 RAGBRAI'S, on this bike and haven't needed to change a tire or do much maintenance to it at all. I highly recommend it for someone that wants a comfortable ride with the capability to move down the road quickly when needed.

Quality. Comfort. Easy to ride. Nice seating position. Comfortable seat.

Mine is actually a 2008 model. This is fun, easy to ride, well built. As a new rider I've put a bit over 200 miles on it in the past month and a half. I've worked from 4 to 10 miles every day and its been a blast on the Trek 7300. I've had four heart attacks and have an implanted defibrillator and needed a low impact way to exercise that was fun.

I tried a number of models and was fitted by the retailer when purchasing.

Reliability, tires, fun to ride

Heavy, ride is a little harsh typical of an aluminum bike

This is a solid, back to biking bicycle. Quality equipment, Good tires. Fun to ride. Easy to ride. Not twitchy at all. Ride is a little harsh even with the front shock and suspension seat. Basically a good quality bike to get some excercise and see the sights.

first bike since the Romans took Gaul.

This bicycle shop had on staff someone who read my requirements like a book and after speed reading my pros and cons, recommended the Trek 7300. I'm very happy with the books ending. I had been thinking about returning to bicycling for a few years now, cholestrol, blood pressure, etc, but could not figure what to get. Then while my wife was browsing a closeout sale in a jewelry store next door, I wandered into this bicycle shop. Again a hundred or more bikes there on the rack, all the reasons I could'nt decide before. But for this time a saleperson spent on an otherwise unlikely looking purchaser, my situation was reversed by a couple words. "Youre looking for a comfort hybrid, wheels that work better for road than off road, flat bar and suspension for comfort and gearing for efficiency." Sounded right. The trek has lived up to those promises. I like that darn blue finish as well.

previous bike was road bike from 20 plus year ago, Centurian with Shimano 500 groppo.

Comfortable riding position that can be adjusted easily. With 24 speeds, I can take the bike up just about any of the hills I encounter without grunting and groaning! I love the shocks and the nice, well-padded seat. They make for a comfortable ride around town.

I don't like the wires on top of the horizontal top tube, or whatever it's called. There are little rubber widgets on the cables to keep them off the metal, but I imagine it's only a matter of time before they wear out and the cables start scratching the paint.

I'm 52 and a recent physical found me with high cholesterol and blood pressure and an admonition by my doctor to lose weight, exercise and change my diet. I've lost 30 pounds so far, changed my diet dramatically, and my exercise has consisted solely of daily brisk-paced walks. Even with an iPod, the walks are becoming boring, so after reading up and doing some test riding, I ended up with the 7300 to ride about an hour each weekday and 2-3 hours over the weekend. I last owned a bike in the '70s, so the technology has changed a lot. This bike rides very comfortably and meets my needs, since my riding is pretty much on city streets or paved trails along Tucson's dry (except in monsoon season) arroyos, or washes. I'm a big guy with another 50-60 pounds to go to get down to my ideal weight and the 7300 treats me just fine! I didn't add anything to it (just a below-the-seat storage thing for my wallet, keys, etc.). As a non-technical person, I have had no problems with the bike and am pleased with it. It's actually been more enjoyable than walking, so my plan to alternate days between walking and riding the bike have ended up with me walking 2-3 times a week and riding the bike the rest. Because I'm a bigger guy, I opted for the 7300 over the cheaper models because of the more durable wheels and upgrades.

Nothing since I had a Raleigh 10-speed back when Jimmy Carter was President!

Versatile, reliable, beautiful blue color.

The twist gear shifter makes an annoying clicking noise.

I bought this bike to ride bike paths around the lakes in the Twin Cities. It's my first bike since a ten-speed hand-me-down I had in high school. I recently moved to San Diego and still ride it. San Diego has many more hills and the bike does pretty well. I also go offroad occasionally and the bike has held up well. The tires are a bit narrow for trail riding, so they slip going up loose hills. They are thicker than road tires though, which is a plus for me because San Diego has a lot of bike lanes which tend to get a lot of broken glass and debris. I have not had a single flat in 6 months of occasional riding (2 or 3 times a week maybe 5 miles). I am 6'0, 165 lbs and have not had any problems, except adjusting the gears slightly after the first year of use. I did put Nashbar bar ends on to help going uphill, which required moving the brakes inward on the handle bars a bit. They work well. The twist gear shifters make a clicking noise that is pretty annoying.

Good looks, quality components for this price bracket. Comparable to or better than similarly priced hybrids. No spoke or shock problems mentioned by another reviewer.

Twist shifters perhaps don’t shift quite as crisply as some click shifters I’ve tried, but not really an issue for normal trail riding. Cables run outside along top of bike frame for ease of access, but you might prefer them inside (which is where some other manufactures put them) for aesthetic reasons, or to provide more uncluttered access to tie-down points if you put your bike on a car rack. (Being exposed metal cable, they will also scratch the frame if forced into contact with it by a tie-down device.)

Trek 7300--2006 Model I’m a casual rider, but I do a lot of market research before I buy anything, and I notice details when I do buy. The 7300 is Trek’s mid-range hybrid, and is a very nice bike for the recreational rider, especially for hard-packed trails. It will also handle a little loose dirt and gravel. Of course, it is a hybrid, so exclusive road use, or rough off road riding, is better handled by other bicycle types. If you’re like my wife and me—young of mind, but careening recklessly toward middle age—I’d highly recommend a hybrid. You’re not likely to be doing those off-road stunts best handled by 15-20 year old boys, or a Tour de France ala Lance Armstrong. Chances are you want to go around town and on some not too perilous rails-to-trails type rides. (But don’t get a “comfort” bike—at least as long as you have most of your original teeth and your hair isn’t white.) There’s only so much someone can say about a bike like this that doesn’t just repeat what you can find online or in the Trek catalog, so I thought I’d say a little about how the 7300 compares to the 7100, which my wife bought simultaneously with my 7300. (We bought our last bikes in 1987 or 88, when we also got his ’n hers—albeit early generation mountain bikes. They were—as are even the newer MTBs—noticeably heavier and slower than modern hybrids, assuming roughly equal price points.) The main differences between the 7300 and 7100 are in some upgraded components on the former, especially on the wheels and drivetrain. In particular, on the wheels, upgraded rims and rear hub and puncture resistant tires; on the drivetrain, upgraded shifters, derailleurs, and cassette. The available color schemes are also more striking on the 7300. In general, all Trek hybrids are nice looking bikes. Truth be told, comparably priced hybrids by other manufacturers, e.g., Diamondback, Gary Fisher, etc., probably offer comparable value. My impression is the bike market is pretty competitive—aficionados (dare I say bike geeks?) aside, choice often comes down to the brand carried by your LBS, or simply taste when it comes to different mixtures of components or even looks. (For example, you might prefer a decent quality click shifter over Trek’s decent quality twist shifter, or vice versa, but the practical difference for the kind of riding you’ll be doing on this type of bike is virtually nil.) The bikes are new to both of us so it’s early to say how any of the upgraded components hold up relative to the lesser ones. I don’t expect a major difference, and in terms of performance, it’s pretty much a wash. I was willing to fork out the extra dough for the 7300 because I felt I’d be riding a bit more than my wife, and I’m 6’1” and—at 215 lbs.—not quite as gazelle-like as I used be. Ahem. I thought the tougher tires and rims might stand up to my bulk a bit better than the lesser ones. To make a long story short, I would say it’s hard for a casual rider like myself to notice a great deal of performance difference between the two models, even if he or she is looking for it, as am I. On the gearing, I fancy the 7300 has a slightly lower range low, and slightly higher range high, probably due to the extra gears (24 vs. 21). The 7300 also feels slightly—but only slightly—lighter where it counts—around the lower extremities. Either model will make you happy for around-town or trail riding. The 7300 lists for about $130-140 more than the 7100. My wife is extremely happy with her 7100, and I’d say it’s a plausible option for a woman or more modest-sized man. (The 7200 is only about 40 bucks less in price than the 7300—too close to be worth considering over the 7300 IMHO; the 7000 is a few bucks cheaper than the 7100, but minus front suspension, which my wife liked a lot. So I think the most realistic choice for a similar machine is 7100 vs. 7300; price goes up considerably again after the 7300—enough to put you in a different class of ridership compared to myself). I’d ask your LBS for a discount if the model you want is not on sale (at least enough to match a normal sale price). We bought two together and easily got 20 bucks knocked off the price of each; might have gotten a wee bit more had we pressed. The price of these things can vary depending on your LBS—we thought we were treated very fairly by ours. “Regular” price should be at or below MSRP. Hope this helps. Happy trails.

Older mountain bikes; test rides of a couple of other hybrids.

27" wheels.

Weak components.

I bought this bike primarily to commute the 10 miles from my home to my office. The commute follows streets, sidewalks and city park trails. The surfaces are not particularly rough, but there are the occasional pot hole, tree root, curb, etc. I could not ride this bike more than two times without breaking one or more spokes forcing a visit to the local bike shop for repair. TREK replaced the rear wheel with a better grade rim, but it didn't solve the problem. I kept breaking spokes. I'm 220 pounds, 6'1", so I'm not a lightweight, but the folks at the bike shop insisted that the bike should support me just fine. The front RST shock always leaked oil and the crankset developed a creaking noise that the local bike mechanic could not get rid of. After a year of this, I finally got frustrated to the point where I bought a mountain bike. I think the problem with this bike is that it's advertised as a hybrid that can do streets and trails, it's components are too lightweight to work well on rougher roads. I like the 27" tires and the ride is comfortable, but I can't recommend this mike to anyone who rides on anything other than smooth streets.

The Trek 7300’s lighter build, better on-road performance, and alloy handlebar give it an edge over the Trek 7200. However, if you prefer a more off-road-oriented bike with better puncture resistance and a lower price, the Trek 7200 may be the right choice for you.

Key Differences

• Bike Weight : Trek 7200 is slightly heavier than Trek 7300, mainly due to its steel handlebar and heavier wheelset. Most users claim that Trek 7200 weighs 30.7 pounds, while Trek 7300 weighs a couple of pounds less[1].
• Wheelset : The wheelset of these bikes differs in terms of robustness, rolling resistance, and puncture resistance[1]:
• Wheel Strength : Trek 7200 has more robust wheels, making it better for off-road use. However, the stronger wheels also make the bike slightly heavier.
• Rolling Resistance : Trek 7200’s tires don’t roll as smoothly on-road as they do off-road, while Trek 7300’s tires suffer less rolling resistance, making it a better option for on-road cycling.
• Puncture Resistance : Trek 7200’s Bontrager H2 tires have a puncture-proof Kevlar belt, making them more puncture-resistant than Trek 7300’s Bontrager H4 Hardcase tires[1].
• Handlebar : Trek 7200 features a Bontrager-approved steel handlebar, while Trek 7300 has a Bontrager-approved alloy handlebar[1].
• Bike Inclination : Trek 7200 is more inclined towards off-road use due to its robust wheels and puncture-resistant tires, while Trek 7300 is better suited for on-road use with its lighter construction and fast-rolling tires[1].
• Price : Trek 7200 generally costs around $400, while Trek 7300 starts at around $500[1].

Similarities

Both Trek 7200 and Trek 7300 share several similarities, including[1]:

• Alpha aluminum frame
• 3×8 drivetrain
• Tektro linear-pull brakes
• Bontrager 32-hole rims
• Suspension seat post
• 50mm suspension fork
• Adjustable stem
• Dual-density platform pedals
• Frame size options

In summary, the choice between Trek 7200 and Trek 7300 depends on your preferences and intended use. If you are looking for a bike that is more inclined towards off-road use and has a higher puncture resistance, the Trek 7200 may be the better option. On the other hand, if you prefer a lighter bike with better on-road performance and are willing to spend a bit more, the Trek 7300 could be the right choice for you.
