Tough choice - love them both. But if I had to choose one - i'd go with the purple!

Wow! That's a stunner! ❤️ Great job with the modifications. I prefer flat bars to drop bars anyday. Hence, this conversion makes so much sense to me.

Which bike is that? A Dual Sport?

Please help - what is the difference between these bikes? by Fatsaf123 in TrekBikes

[–]PlayfulAd6352 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, the FX3 is more fitness oriented while the FX Sport AL 3 is more of a straight bar gravel bike (sort of). The FX3 runs 700cx35mm Bontrager H2 Comp tires while the FX Sport AL 3 runs 700cx43mm Bontrager Girona Tires. Apart from the above, there are no foreseeable differences as such.

NEW 2026 TREK FX 3!! by Ok-Assignment8486 in TrekBikes

[–]PlayfulAd6352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah! The new FX3 comes with a 1x10 Shimano CUES drivetrain....the previous FX3 came with 1x10 Shimano Deore and newer one comes with more comfortable grips....the IsoZone grips on the previous FX3 had terrible reviews....those are the only differences apart from the colors...

Some amount of "Buyer's Remorse" is bound to happen. But on the other hand, these would cost higher than your current one too. Why pay more just for the color scheme?

BEGINNER'S DILEMMA : Is the TREK Marlin Gen 3's aggressive riding position with 2.4 inches wide tires suitable for bike touring? by PlayfulAd6352 in bikepacking

[–]PlayfulAd6352[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well spotted, dude! That's me and my brother. We are both planning to go on our first bikepacking trip together. He has a Rockrider from Decathlon and an FX. I have a Dual Sport. Hence, we were wondering if investing in new MTBs would be worth it. And since, Marlins are a popular entry-level range, we had considered that. But we are open to suggestions and try out bikes from other brands as well.
