Volvo x Trek Bikes Montréal: find your bike with confidence

Do you want to go for a bike ride but don't know which one to choose AND where to buy it?

Choosing the right bike can be a challenge when you're just starting out, as there are so many different models available that it can make the buying process complex. So the question arises: how can you be sure you're buying the right bike? 

In this article, we guide you through the Volvo x Trek Bikes Montreal partnership, detailing the essential criteria and practical tips for finding the perfect bike with confidence.


What are the different types of bikes?

There are many different types of bike, each designed for a specific purpose: road bikes, mountain bikes, city bikes or even the increasingly popular electric bikes.


Road bikes 

Generally speaking, road bikes are light and aerodynamic, suitable for asphalt and long distances. With their slim frames, rounded racing handlebars and narrow tires, the raison d'être of road bikes is to maximize speed.

At Trek Bicycle Montréal, road bikes are organized into four categories: performance road, electric road, gravel and triathlon.


 

Mountain bikes 

Mountain bikes, or more commonly known as cross-country mountain bikes, are rugged products designed to take the punishment of off-road riding. 




There are two types of mountain bikes in the Treks Bikes range: 


  • All-suspension mountain bikes : Equipped with front and rear suspension, they are more comfortable and easier to control thanks to a rear suspension that keeps the wheel in contact with the ground.
  • VTT semi rigide : Lighter, they're also faster. But without a rear shock absorber, they're harder to control.

Not forgetting their range of downhill mountain bikes or even Fat Bikes for clearing snow from your driveway while you pedal. 


City bikes

As Montreal is no exception, city bikes are also in the spotlight at Trek Bikes Montreal, with a full range of urban bikes, fitness bikes and bikes that combine comfort and leisure.


Electric bikes 

Electric bikes look like conventional bicycles, but include a motor, a battery, and a control device to adjust pedaling assistance. At Trek Bikes Montreal, they're available for all types of cycling, making climbs and long distances even more accessible.

 

What are your usage requirements?

Determining your usage needs is crucial to choosing the right bike. 

First of all, think about its main use. If you plan to use it for daily commuting in the city, a hybrid or electric bike might be the best choice, thanks to their comfort and versatility. For nature and trail enthusiasts, a mountain bike will be better suited to rugged terrain.

Next, consider the distance and frequency of your trips. Cyclists who regularly cover long distances should opt for a road bike, designed for endurance and speed. 

Finally, weather conditions and type of terrain also influence the choice: a bike with a good transmission and braking system is essential for hilly or wet terrain.

In any case, the Trek Bicycle Montréal team will give you the best advice to suit your needs and budget. Don't hesitate to contact them or visit their showrooms in Griffintown or Plateau de Mont-Royal.


How do you transport a bike when driving a Volvo?

Now that you're about to buy a bike, you'll need to transport it. Fortunately, we offer the hitch bicycle rack.



Made of aluminum, it's lightweight yet strong and stable, and can accommodate up to 4 bicycles that won't touch thanks to a suspension system that maintains a gap of 18 cm (7") between fixings.

We also have other bike racks:
