Trek Verve 3 Lowstep Gen 5

Verve 3 Disc Lowstep is an easy-riding hybrid bike designed for comfort on roads, paths, and city streets. The highest-end model in the Verve family features a 10-speed Shimano CUES drivetrain, stable puncture-resistant tires, and vibration-reducing handlebars and grips that make your ride even more comfortable. Plus, the lowstep design makes this bike super easy to hop on and off.

• This hybrid combines great comfort features with an upgraded road bike-style drivetrain that's lighter and better geared for performance
• The 1x drivetrain gives you all the gears you need and none you don’t
• This bike brings people together — attach a trailer and tow your kids, meet up with friends to cruise the bike path, or commute to the office with coworkers
• Disc brakes perform well in any weather, let you slow down or stop faster, and require less effort to activate than rim brakes
• Like every Trek hybrid, it's backed by Trek's Lifetime warranty, which means you get a companion for life

A better way to produce aluminum

Starting in 2024, we began removing high-emission aluminum from our manufacturing and replacing it with low-emission aluminum made with renewable energy. By October 2025, nearly every alloy bike we make - this one included - had made the switch, driving a major drop in our footprint.

Shimano CUES

Inspired by rider demand for trouble-free drivetrain longevity and performance, Shimano CUES offers a new foundation for versatility and durability across a range of both electric and standard bikes. CUES features Shimano’s new LINKGLIDE drivetrain technology for significantly increased life on wear items like chain, cassette, and chainrings.

Shimano LINKGLIDE

LINKGLIDE technology has been specifically engineered for incredible durability while still delivering smooth and decisive shifting – along with a great pedalling experience. Available exclusively on Shimano CUES drivetrains.

Upgrade your pedals and love your bike more

Pedals are two of the five touchpoints that connect you with your bike, and even though this bike comes with a pair, upgrading to pedals that boost control and grip will greatly improve your ride. See the pedal guide and find the best pedals for your riding style. We recommend flat pedals for simple versatility.
