Trek Hybrid frame
Trek Verve Size Chart
Verve is Trek's comfort hybrid, and the lowstep frame runs XS to L only. There is no XL or 2XL in this ladder, so a rider taller than 186 cm is outside the published range rather than between two sizes.

Size chart
Verve size by height
Rider height and inseam are Trek's published city sizing table, which the Verve 1, 2 and 3 Lowstep share. Trek builds this frame from XS to L, so the table stops there.

Verve trims
Verve 1, 2 and 3 sizing
Trek sizes the Verve Lowstep frames from one table. Verve 1, 2 and 3 Lowstep publish the same bands and the same frame numbers, so the size carries between trims.
ModelSizes Trek publishesWhat to know
Verve 1 Lowstep 81361
Sizes: XS, S, M, L
Publishes the same four bands and the same frame numbers as Verve 3 Lowstep.
Verve 2 Lowstep 79359
Sizes: XS, S, M, L
Publishes the same four bands and the same frame numbers as Verve 3 Lowstep.
Verve Step-Over is a different frame from Verve Lowstep. It runs S to XL instead of XS to L, and its M standover is 87 mm higher, so a Lowstep size does not carry to Step-Over.
Geometry

How neighboring sizes compare
If two sizes both fit, compare reach and standover rather than assuming the larger size is more comfortable.

Sizing notes
Why height alone is not enough
Riders with the same height can need different sizes because inseam, torso length, flexibility, and preferred handling differ.
3 checks
Verve stack climbs 38 mm from XS to L while reach grows 17 mm, so the front end rises faster than the cockpit lengthens. Size a Verve by standover, then check stack.
Standover climbs 63 mm across the ladder, from 631 mm at XS to 694 mm at L, and the largest single step is 28 mm from S to M.
The lowstep frame stops at L for a 175–186 cm rider. If you are taller than 186 cm, Verve Step-Over runs to XL, and Trek's own chart is the place to confirm that ladder.

Questions
Verve size chart FAQ
Short answers for Trek Verve sizing.
What size Trek Verve should I ride?
Start with the Trek height band: XS for 147–155 cm, S for 155–165 cm, M for 165–175 cm, and L for 175–186 cm. Then confirm inseam and standover for the size you land on.
Does the Trek Verve come in a 2XL?
No. The Verve lowstep frame is built in XS, S, M, and L only, so Trek publishes no XL or 2XL band for it. A rider above 186 cm is outside the published range.
How tall is a Trek Verve M for?
Trek publishes Verve M for riders from 165–175 cm (5'5"–5'9") with a 77–83 cm inseam. It carries 644 mm of stack, 385 mm of reach, and 682 mm of standover.
Is the Trek Verve the same size as the Trek FX?
The height bands match, because both frames read Trek's city sizing table, but the frames do not. Verve M stands 87 mm taller at the front than FX M and its reach is 12 mm shorter, so the same letter is a more upright ride.
What size Trek Verve fits a 180 cm rider?
180 cm falls inside Trek's L band of 175–186 cm, which is the tallest Verve size. L adds 9 mm of stack and 7 mm of reach over M, with standover rising 12 mm to 694 mm.
