The Trek FX WSD (Women Specific Design) series is built mainly for road use, but they can deal with some light off-road riding. With their flat bars, rigid forks and performance geared geometry, they can still take a rack and mudguards, and combine speedy handling with the ability to ride all day carrying panniers.
