Great looking fun to ride and can go any where

I think oldest son took it jumping on trails years ago when he borrowed it, There seems to be a wobble in the steering.

I just rode the bike today and it is as fun as ever. I am currently looking for a new Trek probably getting the FX 7.4. I am going to let my youngest son have (now I say use) this one. It still looks great and i love the green color. Todays bikes are sadly lacking in that area. I have ridden roads along railroad tracks and dirt trails. This bike has held up wonderfully. I still love it.

Nice rigid frame, twist shift still works fine after 18 years. No problem with gear jumping or shifting. Great value for the money.

Rather basic, no suspension, but suspensions weren't as common in 94 as they are today.

I have had the bicycle since 1998 and it is a joy to ride. I am 6'3, so it's hard to find a bike that "fits" for lack of a better term. The way the bike is built allows me to nearly sit up which avoids back pain while riding. My trips generally average 10-20 miles.

Similar Products Used:

Dept store bicycles. Failure of dept store bicycles have caused me 2 injuries. The bottom bracket catastrophically failed while pedaling up a hill which caused my knee to slam into the handlebars which caused the bike to go over. and me to land on my arm and had to roll 6 miles home. Stay away from dept store bikes.

Strong. Absolutely dependable. Great lines; pretty to look at. Fun to ride! MADE IN USA!

Compared to what?

After usng a Raleigh hybrid during bike tour in the west of Ireland, I bought this bike new in the fall of 99 for $375 as soon as I got back. Thought that was an insane amount to spend on a bicycle! 12 years later wouldn't trade it for any other. Love my Trekkie!. Just spent $160 for an overhaul from the same place I bought it 12 years ago and it's like new again. Perfect bike for me and everyone who rides it, loves it. Nuff said.

Cheap clunks from department stores

Sturdy, parts lasted for many years.

Good for what it is a hybrid. Shifting on the front dereullirs (spelling) was problematic.

I love this bike. I took it as a touring bike when I rode down from San Francisco and Los Angeles. Took it on dirt trails. Despit all that, it still works well despite my lack of care for it. However, despite never professionally tuned it lasted me well for 4 years before sorta coming to it's end these past few years. Frames still holding up after a few crashes and the wear and tell of a road trip.

well built and durable,but light weight for travel.

a bit stiff, need to install front suspension

I purchased an older Trek 720 but the bike just keeps going! I ride mostly street with the occasional off road (light).

Light weight. A geometric frame It's a perfect size.

None. I'm not a racer and so far my longest road trip has been 33 miles. The only review I need is how the bike performs for me, not the dislikes someone else has about it.

I came across the Trek 720 by accident. I frequent pawn shops for diamonds in the rough. Knowing the Trek name, I knew this bike had potential. It is in excellent shape and I pretty much stole it at the price I paid. This bike will be my conditioning bike because I mainly mountain bike.

other road bikes and mountain bikes

Great for the price, cro moly frame more comforable albeit heavier than aluminum. Perfect for 10-40 mile rides.

Neno worth mentioning.

This bike was purchased to replace my 20+ year old "10 speed". I ride 20-25 miles at a pop on sometimes challenging/ hilly terrain, all road use not off road. I love the bike. It is comfortable, reliable and aside from routine maintenance, I haven't adjusted the derailluers in 4 years and they still work flawlessly. Not bad for a bike under 400 bucks.

Hey, I'm not one of these maniacs who owns two bikes each worth more than my car. I like to ride, I do in-city and dirt trail riding in the Front Range of the Rockies, maybe 6 hours a week. All I can say about my Trek 720 is that it's affordable, and very good quality. I'm not sure why there are other hybrid bikes in the Trek line for twice the price - they are said to have better components and more serious engineering and other vaguely-stated qualities - but this one is terrific for me. The thing that's great about it is that unlike most mountain bikes, which I find dreadfully uncomfortable because I feel like I'm hunched forward like Quasimodo for hours on end, I can sit up almost straight in this one. All the components have worked great so far - I love it! If you're like me, and you want a comfortable ride plus the flexibility of mountain and paved trails, get a hybrid, and consider this Trek!

non-name-brand bikes

I own a 720 which is 4 years old. The wheel spokes are corroding and have developed serious rust. According to Treks specifications, the spokes are stainless. Other chrome components are rusting also. The bike is kept in the garage, so I am surprised at all of the rust. The brakes have a component which fails frequently and has to be replaced every 400 to 500 miles. I emailed Trek 4 times and even sent them a snail mail. They have not responded. For reliability and Trek's lackluster customer attitude, I would give this product 1 star. (Note that I have a friend who owns a 700 and is having the same problems.)

This is a great commuter bike. Comfortable ride, gears for climbing walls, sensible component mix, reasonably cheap.

Don't let the "hybrid" name fool you; you can't take this bike offroad. I've tried. It hurt. A lot. The suspension seatpost is useless (but I think that of all suspension seatposts). Chicks don't dig it.

If this were a car, it'd be a Golf; it tries to pretend like it's cool, but it's really just practical. Since that's exactly what I want, I'm giving it a high rating. If you're an elite hardcore singletrack freak or somebody with any ambitions at racing, you'll hate it.

The Retrogrouch

Old is Good

Old vs. new: trek 720, 33 comments:.

trek 720 hybrid used

Those 720s from the mid-80s certainly are great lookers and riders. Plus, whatever the new 720 is intended to do, the old 720 probably does better. I find it interesting that from about 1979 to 1986, Trek and almost every other manufacturer offered at least one fully-loaded touring bike in its lineup. But then they abandoned the genre altogether in 1987 or 1988. If you went into a bike shop and asked for a touring bike, if they didn't have leftover stock, they'd try to sell you a "hybrid" or convince you that you'd be better off on a mountain bike.

trek 720 hybrid used

Yes, isn't that the truth! In fact, as I recall, road bikes of any kind were being pushed off the showroom floors in those days to make more room for mountain bikes -- many of which probably never left the pavement.

trek 720 hybrid used

I hated the old 720's. They were way too flexible and couldn't handle a load. In fairness, I'm 6'3" and had the biggest frame they made and carried 50lbs. of gear, still though.. I loved riding it lightly loaded or unloaded but as a loaded touring bike not so much.

I bought a used 25" 720 way back when and found it way to flexible for loaded touring also. The larger sizes should have had stiffer tubing. I stepped down to a univega straight gauge touring bike and found it to be perfect. Many years later I have a Miyata 610 with center pulls and the aforementioned Dunapar derailleur and half step plus granny. That's my retrogrouch bike. I use a 87 Klein with a 21 speed indexed barends as my "modern" touring bike. It's a lot like the ST 1000.

I rode the trek 720 touring bicycle fully loaded across the United states in 1987. I had bought it new in 1985, I believe it was a leftover 84 model. It was a great ride and I still own the bike today. Time to rebuild it. I'd suggest this bike for touring to anyone who likes to go the distance.

Damn, now I want to go work on that old black and red lugged Trek I have sitting in the back room at the shop. Build some Camp wheels for it or sumthin', hmmmmm.... What would I choose? Old, all day long. I have litte love for the new Trek brand, the price is something that we as a nation, should be ashamed of. Thanks for the smidgen of Cannondale love there too. They were close to the last big US companies to shutter their US factories (what Trek's doing at this point could hardly be considered US production). Not that I'm happy with the new Cannondale either, but they at least have that going for them. And they did build an awfully pretty bike frame BITD, too. http://imgur.com/3bz1RPM

Cannondale made a pretty impressive tourer back then, too, in their 1000 model, which came with everything a person needed, including fenders and C'dale's own racks. All one needed to do was get the C'dale bags, tent, and sleeping bags, and they were ready to take off cross country. The welds on those bikes were smoothed very nicely.

The new 720 isn't perfect, but walking into a shop and seeing 520s, 720s, 920s, and Specialized AWOLs is a sight better than seeing a row of slammed carbon fiber road bikes with 23mm tires.

Yes -- you are definitely right there.

Just looked at the Trek website, they are still selling a steel framed 520 tourer. Is is list priced at only $300 more than I paid for my 520 18 years ago, not bad. The Bontrager components don't look nearly as interesting as the Shimano 105/DX/Avid mix that was on the '98, but all of the original components are long gone...

You're right about the 520. I think I read somewhere that it is one of the longest running models still available today (they've offered the 520 since the early 80s -- so 30+ years?) - though very different from what they were back in the day. A fine bike, I'm sure, if someone wants a new bike that has a lot of versatility, and isn't hung up on nostalgia for lugs, Reynolds tubing, level top tubes, and shiny silver components.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, I'll now go down the internet rathole researching the 520! I see the current version has a sloping top tube, just doesn't seem right on a touring bike (sorry my first was a third-hand Dawes) but great to see that Trek has commitment to its roots.

My everyday bike is a 1984 Trek 830 Mountain bike with an Xtracycle bolted on. It's a very good frame. I can imagine the 720s were marvelous also. I have yet to see a contemporary production frame I would want, which I guess makes me retrogrouch, though I despise the term "retro." Is it retro if you never moved away from it?

I have one of those 1984 720's. It's my main commuter bike. I keep it in mint shape, but alas, the only original equipment on it is the frame, seat post, cantilever brakes and levers, Simplex front derailleur and saddle (Brooks Professional - lasts forever). The 27" wheels (indestructable Wolbers) have been replaced with 700C for tire selection. I have Schwalbe 700 x35 Marathon Supremes with VO fenders. It's a little tight but works, and the original brakes reach just fine. The original chainrings were a half-step, not a triple. I've swapped them for and old Ultegra set (still polished aluminum). Handlebars are VO Grand Randonneur, with the original gumby brake hoods and Brooks leather handle bar tape. It's truly a classic bike. The frame is in great shape and it rides like a dream on the wider tires.

Dawes still makes the Galaxy and Super Galaxy which I believe has been in production for over 300 years with only a break to allow the production line to be used to make Spam cans during the war. Maybe not though... You can even buy a Galaxy Classic with steel tubing, a HORIZONTAL toptube and a quill stem(!). It might even have an umbrella clip for all I know. It makes one wonder if there are more grumpy old bike geeks per capita over there than over here... Spindizzy

Yep - the Dawes is another long-running model. Not 300 years long (I get it - that's a typo) but longer even than the Trek 520. Can't remember the last time I saw a Dawes here in the U.S. though.

You are seriously off on the dates of the Dawes Galaxy. A still ride-able Galaxy (no lugs, just hammered together in a process archeologists call "cold welding") was found in one of the pyramids at Giza. New rubber, it was good to go.

too funny, tjan.

A "touring" bike with 43 cm chainstays? 43 cm?! My 1973 and my 1960s racing bikes have 43 cm chainstays!

What's wrong with round tubing?

trek 720 hybrid used

After I graduated from college and got my first “real” job, I looked longingly at a Trek 720 but instead bought a 614. It was a great bike, and equipped with Blackburn low-riders on the front carrying Tailwind panniers and standard panniers on the back made a fast, stable touring machine. I eventually sold it (regrets, I have a few...), and still would love to have a 720 — an old one, that is.

It's not even a competition, in my mind, between the classic and the new version. Though I will say that I am happy with any effort for a new bike to marketed as anything other than race- or mtn- biking. Those old Trek 5xx,6xx,and 7xx series touring bikes are so nice. Actually any old Trek is pretty hard to beat. Wolf.

Ah, the 1980s hay day of touring cycles. I have a Gitane Tourer bought new in 1986; long chainstays and wheelbase, lots of room for 35mm tires with fenders. Rock steady handling with 55 lbs of camping gear on front and rear racks. It was fitted from new with the Huret Duopar Eco derailleur. I had heard they were short-lived so picked up a spare new one when they were being closed out. Sure enough, recently the rear shifting deteriorated. After getting the dropout hanger alignment checked, it was OK, I decided to install the 'spare' Duopar. That did it, back to fine shifting again. And to think, the original only lasted 30 years! Cheap French junk. I love my Gitane and my similar vintage Bertin Cyclocross bike.

The old Trek 720 was a POS. My frame broke after a lousy 20 or 30,000 miles :o) And at the worst possible time. Fortunately a bike shop in Fairbanks had a 520 frame that fit me in stock.

trek 720 hybrid used

Trek 720's back hidrolic disc brake was frozen in the low tempture (mines c grade) I rode this cycle from barcolana to turkey I took 3514 km and 16 days. Trek 720 Bycle was very fast but ıf you ride rainly days. Water fill the back brake cable. and then the brake is frozen.

What is the largest tire with fenders you can fit on your 1984 Trek 720?

I ride a 1984 Trek 420 sport touring model that I bought new in Norfolk, Va. when I was in the Navy. It feels light weight and nimble in spite of its high tensile steel fork and stays. I have enjoyed it as a commuter bike and now as a daily respite from my stay-at-home existence during the pandemic.

More to the point, I bought the inexpensive 420 instead of the 720 because someone had just stolen my cherished Centurion, and I didn’t want to risk losing another expensive bike. I didn’t test ride the 720, but I suspect its handling is not as lively as the 420’s, or am I praising sour grapes?

Hello good day! May i know what is the speed or cassette of the vintage trek 720? Is still possible to find it? Thank you!

Hi, would anyone be able to tell me the stack and reach height on a 48cm trek multitrack from the 1990s?

Could be a tough one -- that kind of info isn't often in the catalogs, and is most accurately measured first-hand off a frame you might have in your possession.

https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/bop/d/milwaukee-trek-maroon-bike-frame/7320295170.html Here's a brand new one posted May 11th if anyone is interested. I'd say $200 for a brand new unused frame is a great bargain. Of

My 60cm? (actually measured as 23.5") '83 trek 720 weighs in at 22.5 pounds... with midweight (32mm) tubular wheels. Lots of extra room for fenders or larger tires. If I take the rack off and put on my light wheels, it saves another pound... Best production bike I've ever seen, I do anything with it, I even brought home a steel, double kitchen sink on the back of it today. Wish I could post a picture of it here.

Trek 720 review

Understated all-road all-rounder with excellent potential

Immediate Media

Guy Kesteven

Light, rapid and potentially smooth bike with luggage included

Soft under power and it needs fatter tyres for a more forgiving ride

trek 720 hybrid used

At first glance the Trek 720 is a bike that very much wears its heart on its sleeve – well, if by ‘sleeve’ you mean fork legs, since that’s where you’ll find the two custom neon-yellow dry bags and the giant plastic water bottle cages they sit in.

Ample, well-thought out luggage room

That may fly in the face of the current fashion for putting weight up high in extended saddle packs, bar rolls and frame bags. But while that may keep your stuff dry through three-foot deep rivers, it’s less ideal from a handling point of view. By contrast, ensuring luggage weight is kept as low as possible, and in line with the front fork means the Trek handles well whether it’s loaded with bags or not.

And while they don’t look much at first, you’d be amazed at how much stuff you can cram into them – certainly enough to cover you for a weekend away with a roof booked over your head, or even lightweight bivvying if you just stick to the essentials. The only thing to watch is that you tighten the straps securely – especially if you’re riding light – as otherwise the bags can jump out of their clips and drag on the floor.

There’s a lot more to the 720 than its lurid luggage carriers, though. In fact, you can side-step this part of the Trek’s anatomy altogether, since unlike a conventional fixed rack, the bag mounts unclip instantly to leave you with a sub-10kg disc-braked road bike.

And a decent-quality one, too: the excellent frameset includes a fork with tapered triangular blades that sync neatly into a big rounded belly, and a flat-backed down tube complete with over-and-under bottle cage mounts.

It ends with subtly arched skinny-as-steel seatstays side-blended into the top tube in a way that looks similar to the pivoting IsoSpeed decoupler of Trek’s Domane endurance bike.

Narrow rubber doesn't do the 720 justice

That rear end and the extension afforded by the slim seatpost definitely help take some of the bumps and bruises out of rougher roads and tracks, and the broad Bontrager bar has shock-absorbing inserts under the tape to further reduce vibration and fatigue.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t shine through as clearly as it should because of the Bontrager AW1 tyres Trek has gone with. While they’re listed at 28mm, the specimens on our test bike only measured 26mm wide even on the broad, tubeless-ready rims.

Yes, that helps to keep the weight down, but means even average road surfaces felt rough compared with fatter-treaded competitors we were riding alongside the 720. Off-piste pleasure is even more limited, as the firm, thin rubber rattles and ricochets around, costing you significant speed in the process.

There’s room in the shaped stays for much wider, and a swap to 35mm transformed the Trek into a far more fun and forgiving ride. And apart from initial acceleration – which is already adequate rather than amazing due to the soft frame – it came at no obvious loss of road speed, and definitely improved rough-surface momentum and control.

As a result, we’d definitely advise bartering for a tyre swap before you buy – although given that full Shimano 105 transmission, powerful TRP hybrid disc brakes and bags are already included, the 720 still represents decent value even if you have to upsize the rubber yourself.

Trek 7200 Review: Features and Specifications

Frame and fork.

When it comes to biking, having a sturdy and reliable frame is key. This is no surprise since the frame is the backbone of the bike and can make a huge difference in terms of stability and control while you’re riding.

For the Trek 7200, you get a solid hybrid bike frame. This bike is made with Trek’s Alpha aluminum, which is known for its lightweight and durability. You’ll feel the difference as soon as you start pedaling, it’s that light!

trek 720 hybrid used

What’s really cool about the Trek 7200 is its slightly steeper head tube angle of 71.5°. This makes it perfect for climbing hills and gives riders more confidence and balance on fast descents. You’ll be able to handle any terrain with ease!

And for the fork, the Trek 7200 is equipped with an RST CT-COM C5 fork with 50 mm of travel. For a hybrid bike like this, that’s more than enough. 

While suspension isn’t usually a top priority for hybrid bikes, the suspension on the Trek 7200 is designed to absorb the bumps of trails and potholes with ease.

Finally, let’s not forget about comfort! As a hybrid bike, the main focus of the Trek 7200 is on providing comfortable rides. 

You’ll appreciate the suspension and enjoy smooth rides even on rough terrain, and you’ll feel like you’re gliding on air on paved roads and smooth city streets.

Gears and Brakes

Gears are one of the most important components of any bike, as they can make a huge difference in how easy or difficult it is to ride.

Luckily, the Trek 7200 has got you covered with high-quality components from Shimano, SRAM, and Bontrager. These components provide precise shifting and braking, making for smooth and safe rides.

One of the best things about the Trek 7200 is its 8-speed rear gear. This provides a wide gear range that’s perfect for both commuting, riding around your neighborhood or even taking on rough trails. 

trek 720 hybrid used

You’ll always have the perfect gear to make the ride easy and enjoyable, whether on climbs or descents.

If you’re looking at an earlier model of the Trek 7200, you might find it fitted with 7-speed SRAM MRX Plus shifters and Shimano C102 front derailleur and Shimano Acera rear derailleur. 

But in the later 2010 model, these components were upgraded to SRAM MRX Comp twist shifters, Shimano M191 front derailleur, and Shimano Alivio rear derailleur. 

Either way, you can be sure you’re getting top-notch components that will give you efficient rides.

Now, let’s talk about the brakes. The Trek 7200 comes with Tektro linear-pull alloy brakes. These brakes are powerful and efficient, giving you the stopping power you need to stay safe on any ride. You’ll be able to stop quickly and easily, even when you’re gliding down a steep hill.

Wheels and Tires

Wheels and tires are crucial components of any bike, as they contribute to its overall performance and riding experience.

The Trek 7200 comes with a high-quality set of wheels, including an alloy front hub and a Shimano RM30 rear hub. 

The Bontrager 750 rims have 32 holes and are more than strong enough for most commuters. These wheels are both durable and lightweight, and won’t weigh you down.

trek 720 hybrid used

Trek 7200 has very solid tires, but depending on which model of the Trek 7200 you have, you may be riding on different tires. 

The earlier models were equipped with Bontrager Invert Puncture Resistant tires, while the later 2010 model has 700x35c Bontrager H2 Plus tires with a puncture-resistant belt.

No matter which tires you have, you can expect good traction on smooth surfaces. However, on rougher terrain, the tires may not perform as well. That being said, the tires are puncture-resistant and should withstand most road hazards.

Saddle and Handlebars

The Trek 7200 comes with a soft and padded Bontrager Boulevard saddle that is perfect for long-distance commutes. What’s even better is that the saddle is attached to an alloy seatpost with adjustable suspension. 

trek 720 hybrid used

This means that your seatpost is more flexible, reducing the transfer of high-frequency road vibrations from your bike to your body. It also helps dampen the impacts of big hits from the road, making your ride smoother and more comfortable.

Also, the Trek 7200 comes with a Bontrager Approved handlebar made of solid steel and with a 50 mm rise. 

You can always adjust the height of the handlebar to give you a comfortable fit. This means that you can ride for longer without experiencing any discomfort or strain on your back or shoulders.

Size and weight 

When it comes to finding the perfect fit for your ride, the Trek 7200 hybrid bike has many sizes to choose from. With sizes ranging from 15″ to 25″, you’re sure to find the size that fits you just right. 

The frame sizes are precisely 15, 17.5, 20, 22.5, and 25 inches, giving you plenty of options to choose from.

And even with all the high-quality components, the Trek 7200 still manages to keep its weight down. With an average weight of about 26.4 lbs (11.9 kg), this bike is easy to handle and maneuver on the trails. 

It’s not too heavy to carry around when you need to, but it’s still sturdy enough to support riders up to 275 to 300 lbs.

How much is the Trek 7200 Multitrack?

The current Trek 7200 value is estimated to be less than $100, you will most likely find one going from $65 to $110. But, keep in mind that it would be a used bike. 

If you happen to find a brand-new Trek 7200, though this is very unlikely, expect the price to be from $250 to $450. It doesn’t go over $500.
