Though Trek Bicycle representative Eric Bjorling claims that the 2009 Trek District ($1099.99) is aimed at the “urban, progressive market,” we at Debonair know exactly who the new low-maintenance, ultra-quiet bike is really meant to please: ninjas.
That’s right, we can read between the lines. Trek’s own web site describes the District’s ride as so quiet as to be “ninja-like.” Fortunately, you don’t actually have to be a ninja to ride one.The District is the first single-speed produced by Trek to utilize the revolutionary Gates Carbon Belt Drive system. The system does away with the chain in favor of an all-carbon belt, creating a bicycle so silent you can actually hear yourself getting more awesome as you ride.
Perfect for urban commuters who have been getting their pant legs greasy for years, the belt drive system doesn’t require any lubrication and rarely needs to be serviced, since it will never rust or stretch. The District is the ultimate low-maintenance bike.
On top of all that, the sleek, minimalist design, beautiful color scheme, light aluminum frame and leather wrapped seat and handle bars make the District a must buy for all you progressive urban types out there (not to mention the nunchuk-wielding, sneak-around-at-night-killing-people types).
