Trek FX2 vs FX3 vs DS2?

I’m looking to buy a new bike, as my previous bike is worn out and can no longer ride it. The bike is a $250 CCM Mountain Bike from CanadianTire that I bought 10 years ago.

I looked at these:

• Trek FX 2 Disk 2023 ($700)
• Trek FX 2 Disk 2025 ($930)
• Trek FX 3 2025 ($1229)
• Trek Dual Sport 2 2025 ($1060)

I plan on mainly staying on pavement. Maybe occasionally going on a dirt or gravel off road section.

Which one would be best?

I suppose the most expensive one is probably ‘best’. But just for casual fun riding, I’m leaning most towards the 2023 FX 2, because it seems to be a pretty good price. I don’t know if I’d make use of the additional features in a higher end model.

I just want something that’s good. But if there is a very good value upgrade between bikes that is worthwhile, then I would be fine with that. But I just feel I’m not ‘hardcore’ enough to appreciate the differences between the bikes and I’d just waste money. Thoughts?
