Trek 3700 Specifications

The Trek company manufactures bicycles used for mountain biking and long-distance touring. It began producing bikes in 1976. Mountain bikes used for dirt jumping often feature a shock-absorbent rear suspension. Bikes used exclusively for trail riding commonly have a hardtail design that does not have a rear suspension. Trek offers the 3700 model in its line of 2011 hardtail mountain bikes.

  1. Function

    • Treks 3700 hardtail mountain bike has a versatile design that permits you to ride on backwoods trails. If you prefer the riding stance of a mountain bike, as opposed to a road cycle, the Trek 3700 enables you to perform long-distance rides on paved roads or paths. According to Trek, the knobby tires of the 3700 hard tail help to prevent slide outs on the dirt surface of the mountain biking trail.

    Features

    • Although the Trek 3700 does not feature a rear suspension, it does offer front-wheel suspension. The front-wheel shocks of the 3700 enable you to maintain a smooth ride over the rocks or debris in the riding path. The hardtail 3700 offers you seven different gears to choose from. According to Trek, the lightweight frame of the Trek 3700 features an aluminum construction. The wheels of the 3700 are made with an alloy material. The bike features specialized Shimano components, including shifters, derailleurs, cranks and cassettes. The platform of the 3700 pedals has a nylon design that helps to grip the bottom of your mountain biking shoes.

    Size

    • Trek offers the hard tail 3700 in different sizes to accommodate the differing heights and weights of advanced and expert mountain bikers. Trek measures the 3700 based on the length of the seat tube of the bike frame. The seat tube refers to the almost vertical tube located under the bike seat. According to Trek, the smallest 3700 seat tube available has a length of 13 inches. The largest Trek 3700 seat tube has a length of slightly more than 22 inches.
