![]() The 520 Grando is still based around a chromoly steel frame, alloy fork, and quick release skewers with Trek’s thru-skew upfront. Sure, it’s the same frame as the standard Trek 520, but its component list has been completely overhauled and improved upon-the biggest change being the swap to Shimano’s GRX rear derailleur, slightly knobbier 700 x 40mm tires, and a fresh new Nautical Navy paint job. Thankfully, the new Trek 520 Grando addresses some of those issues with a fresh new build kit that caters to rough off-road riding, bikepacking, and randonneuring. It makes a great and versatile bike for commuting, touring, and general two-wheeled tomfoolery, even if the stock build kit isn’t exactly my cup of tea.
