I bought this bike on a whim because it was on sale thinking I can always upgrade to better bike. I won't need to do that for a long time. This was a pleasant surprise! After purchasing it and riding I would've gladly paid full price for it. Its an excellent bike for the casual rider like myself. I'm 6'1 230 pounds so I can't say that its too heavy. Plus I don't have anything to compare it against as this was my first bike in over 15 yrs. The few drawbacks that I have is 1) the seat is uncomfortable and will probably be switched out for a wider gel seat. 2) The gears needed to be checked out after the first few rides. They slipped in first and second. But afterwards, no issues. Feels great.

I actually purchased this bike used from a guy that bought it new this summer, he put 600 miles on it. When I purchased it from him, I just had to adjust the front derailleur as it was rubbing the chain. It rides smooth with the street tires he put on, so I can't comment on the tires. But I can comment on how smooth the gears and derailleurs were. Riding up hills was a lot easier compared to my 16 year old other brand bike. I just put 26 miles on it a few days ago, and it was very enjoyable. No slippage of the gears, handled pretty well. All in all, I love this bike. I'm actually picking up stock rim and tires to have an extra set for when I go trail riding, as current setup from previous owner are not trail tires.

I bought this bike to take the place of my 94 830 which would never die on me and I loved it but the time came for me to smell the flowers and upgrade. It was a great decision buying this bike, I wasn't looking for a very expensive bike and I knew i wasn't going to find a top of the line trail rider for under $400.00 but I also wanted one that could pull off some basic trail riding and stay intact without dismay. In doing so I found that the 820 was perfect for my needs and exceeded my expectations. The bike handles great in the single track trails and going up hills is so simple due to the extra large cassette sprocket, plus the bike is not heavy even though its steel I was amazed that it was only slightly heavier then the 3500 model which is all aluminum. The rapid fire shifters are of great quality and feel just right for me, The brakes handled very well on the trails even when flying down hill or wet, The seat is very comfortable although many reviews claimed its was not but I had to beg a differ. The only con I can find on this bike is that I wish they sold it with a better trail tire. The bike flew up hills but when coming across a highly rooted and rocky hill the tires just loved to slip. Just seems more like street tires to me. If you are tight on cash and want a quality made bike the 820 is definitely worth the money and anyone who knows about Treks knows they are built to last.

I've had this bike for a little over year now, and it has been incredible. It has seen trails, bumpy roads and a 20 mph crash in which I was the only thing broken out of the whole ordeal. I love this bike, it is my baby. The only problem is that the wheels are garbage, they bend so easily, beyond repair. I just threw down 80 bucks to get a new wheel on, but it runs just like it did before, so I am pleased.

I ride road bikes but wanted a bike to ride all winter long in the snow and on trails. So I bought this bike. I took it to the trails for a test ride and it was great on the trails. Handled very well. It is very heavy. Atleast its alot heavier than my road bike.

This bike can take high mileage. ive had it for 2 years, and it has at least 7,000 miles. people say its heavy, but its a pretty fast bike. i live on long island and i have it on the road 7 days a week every day. on weekends i rack up about 50 miles each. this bike has had no breakdowns. chain and casette just replaced due to normal wear. can easily go 30 + miles an hour. shines up really nicely. its been to montauk, north carolina, and soon upstate. ive driven it 80 miles no problem and i was passing people. even though its heavy, it hauls itself really well.
