The Fuji Tread 1.1 Disc Road Bike is an eye-catching bike, with it’s blacked-out look (with a few bright green highlights) and disc brakes. But what kind of bike is it, exactly? Is it a road bike with disc brakes, a commuter bike for utilitarian rides, or a gravel/adventure/cyclocross bike with slick tires? The beauty of the Tread is that it’s a little bit of all of these things – a truly versatile package that mixes an appealing design with a whole lot of practicality and performance. We’ve put in some hard miles on this Tread 1.1 Disc and came away impressed by the total package.
The Parts:
But let’s start with what you get with the Fuji Tread 1.1 Disc in terms of components. At it’s core is an aluminum custom-butted frame (based on their tried and true alloy cyclocross frame), carbon bladed and tapered fork, a capable Shimano Tiagra 20-speed drivetrain, and lightweight TRP SPYRE mechanical disc brakes. Oval Concepts supplies the handlebars, stem, seatpost, and Vera Terra wheels are clad in 700 x 32C Vera City Wide tires with Phalanx puncture protection for added safety.
On The Road
The Fuji Tread 1.1 Disc Road Bike has comfortable on-road manners with a sporty and quick steering response. It’s not a super-lightweight road racing machine, but a 50/34 tooth crankset and smooth-rolling tires (even though they are 32mm wide) mean that you can keep up with groups on the road or keep up a brisk pace on solo rides. We rode the Tread 1.1 Disc out on some fast group rides here at our office, and we only really felt at a disadvantage on climbs when the group was pushing the pace – the main culprit was the slight added weight and size of the tires as compared to super-light carbon racing bikes (which is no real surprise given the versatility of the bike).
On Gravel
On gravel or dirt roads, the comfy wide tires and disc brakes of the Tread 1.1 Disc really shined. The stopping power and added control of mechanical disc brakes are a big plus when conditions aren’t great, so it’s no wonder that we were fans of the TRP SPYRE specced on the Tread 1.1 Disc. And while the 700 x 32C tires were not knobby, they had sufficient traction for most situations. We were even impressed by the Shimano Tiagra drivetrain – it has a light shifting feel and performed flawlessly for us, plus the 12-30 speed cassette allowed us to tackle any terrain.
Everything Else
The key word with the Fuji Tread 1.1 Disc Road Bike is versatility – it’s a bike you can ride around town, on the back roads, or just on weekend rides. It’s a great option for a utility commuter bike – there are eyelets for racks and fenders – but it’s not limited to any one ride or terrain. We even took the Tread 1.1 Disc out onto some local trails and had a blast. So what kind of bike is the Fuji Tread 1.1 Disc Road Bike after all? It’s whatever you want it to be – and a whole lot of fun on 2 wheels.

“Fuji Tread 1.1 Disc Road Bike” is exactly what i wanted to buy. Its configuration is similar as my necessary.
I bought a fuji tread 1.1, o.m.g. I have had it about two weeks and it is great for what I want in a cross trainer and to get my butt off the couch. Im 68 years old retired and looking for a fun way to get some exercise and this bike has what I need. I will tell you because it is light weight and aluminum it is a bit stiff but other than that I think its great. Paul

Looks like you need a spam filter for your comments! And the link to the Fuji 1.0 doesn’t work.
Can do this do duty as an occasional Cross race bike?
It definitely could Hank – you would just want to switch out the tires to something with more tread.
Thanks for the rely. Yeah I would totally change the tires, but I was wondering in terms of the geometry, from what I understand “gravel bikes” have different geometry from cross bikes, so just wondering if this one can be a jack of all trades so to speak.
The Tread has the same geo as Fuji’s aluminum ‘cross frame, so it’s going to be great for racing – the modifications for gravel riding were just in components.
So does it basically come down to how much you wan to spend? (between the tread or the cross).
light trail riding was no problem with the wide gearing range of the Tread for such type of Bicycles. Thank you for sharing useful info.
