Priced at $2,399 the Trek Farley 7 is one of the best bangs for your buck you’ll find in the way of a new bike. Featuring a lightweight aluminum frame, 26″ x 5″ or 27.5″ x 4.5″ tire compatibility, internal dropper post routing, carbon fork, and murdered out matte black paint scheme, the Trek Farley 7 is our go to for a snappy fast, snow covered trail machine.$2,299.00 – Take one out for a spin at Storm Cycles!There’s no faster way to end a good time in the snow than with cold toes.
