Probably 99.9% of every bike Trek sells is made in China. I think only their Project One OCLV 9000 or so bike is actually made in USA. All the other carbon bikes come from China. I guess Dell Computer is an American company even though 100% of everything they sell is made in China. And Toyota is a foreign company even though their cars are made in USA. Its a wacky world we live in.


You are clearly an anti-American communist. I think the foreign production number is 99.0%. The 99.9% number is clearly liberal bias and fake news.

Trek, however, also owns shops and employs AMERICANS! My Emonda was assembled in the USA -- it's also a great bike.

I only buy products made by American companies, except for my Subaru and most everything else I own. I have a Chris King headset in a box downstairs. Made in Portland, USA! And some old Phil hubs and a BB made in San Jose, California, parts of which are American!
