Is this seat appropriate for a Trek road bike? Is the seat wide and large?

I think this is entirely a matter of personal preference. Mine is on my K2 road bike but I am not particularly concerned about weight/bulkiness. I am much more concerned about comfort. My husband is a more avid cyclist (does about 100 miles per week) and thinks this seat ("saddle") is ridiculous on my bike (which happens to be his hand me down).

I don't know what a Trek road bike looks like but I'll answer the way I can in hopes that it helps...I have a Diamondback 21 speed mountain bike (which my hubby picked up for $25 at a flea market and NEVER gets ridden on anything that's not paved). The seat is not wide and large - sizewise it's like any average seat you'll see on a bike for sale at Walmart...one may be a little longer, one may be a smidge wider, but for all intents and purposes they're one size. But the last seat I had on this bike was one of those super wide things and this one is WAAAAAAAY more comfortable!

the seat is approx 6.5 " wide x 10" long. I have a Trek comfort bike & love the seat

I don't know specifically about a Trek, but I own a Nishiki, and it fits great...a 2014 Nishiki, not an old one. As far as wide and large, those are relative terms so my wide and large might not be your wide and large. I have a wide tush, and it is super comfy for me. Can ride for more than an hour with zero complaints. Great investment for the price. Are there better seats? Probably for a heftier price tag, but this one alleviates my pain and is comfy. Hope this helps!

I have a trek 820, this seat is thinner, smaller than the original that came with the bike. Road bikes can have very thin seats...this is not like that, but not a fat saddle like on a cruiser. I would put it on a road bike.

The arms are 12.5 inches apart, my Trek 5500 road bike fits fine with room to spare.

I have it on a Schwinn stationary bike. This seat is not very wide. The seat that came on the bike is wider.

If your trek does not have a rear disc brake it should fit. It is a great stand my bike has stood even in a wind that blew it backwards,but all the bike did was pivot on the stand and did not fall.

I think this will work fine for you. My wife has the same measurement and she can ride it fine. I love the bike . You cannot beat it for the price. i did take it to the bike shop for a tuning after I bought it. No problems. Very comfortable.I am 5'9" w/ 29" inseam. I have plenty of room.

I bought this seat for my mountain bike and it did not fit to well on my seat.. It is comfortable and good price. I would just make sure it fits the seat your putting it on..

I think this would be a nice walker for a large person. it is a sturdy walker with a wide seat.

Just measured my stationary bike seat and it's almost 12 inches wide at the widest area. This cover has a drawstring where it can be tightened if needed and it fits great. It should work fine on yours as well.

29er wheels are the same diameter as a road bike's 700c wheels, which fit fine. I have a large frame road bike, with a fixed seat post, and have no problems. Of course you need to remove the pedals, seat, rear deraileur and handlebars. I am guessing that you should be fine, provided the bike frame itself is not unusually large.

I have a Gary Fisher Advance bike and I use a V type. Looking at a picture of the Trek 29er, it is set up like my bike so I would recommend the V. You may want to contact Topeak and confirm with them. They make great stuff! I am in deep with Topeak!

I have no personal experience with that bike. However, the Trek website says that the current Verve 3 has 35c wheels and comes with rack and fender mounts. If that description fits your bike, I would think it a safe bet.

Most seat post appear to be of a standard size. I purchased this seat as a replacement for a 20 year old Trek bike. My daughter is very happy with the fit, comfort and quality.

Yes, the seat is large and wide - even an adult could use this one as a seat.

The 2011 Trek 1.5 road bike uses 700c wheels, so yes, this tire will fit as long as you choose the 700x23 size.

i am unsure of the size of my bike and i do not want to mislead you. i am 6 foot 1 inch and have a trek madone that fits me. my bike fits in the case but it is tight with the frame.

I have a Trek Madone Road bike. The only thing I had to take off was the handle bar and wheels. Just tied up the chain and deraileur with zip ties. Depending on how tall you bike is you may have to remove the seat or at least lower it. Because I don't trust the Airlines, I added foam padding to each side of the bike frame. Be careful not to over load it with gear. The case plus the bike is close to 5o#.

I think so, I am really skinny so this bike is way too big in width but still, very comfortable. If you are bigger person, then this bike will fit you better, I think.
