Title-Trek 4900 Disc

Findings:

• "Affordable, versatile bike with discs"
• "WORKHORSE: Capable of everything from commuting and casual spins to demanding trails"
• "FOR STARTERS: Short Bontrager stem and Crowbar Sport bar create a comfortable, upright position without compromising trail prowess"
• "FUTURE: Disc brakes are more powerful than rim brakes and keep working in wet, nasty conditions-and now they're light enough to compete with rim brakes. More-affordable disc brakes like this one mean soon everyone will be riding them "
