I do not have one, but it's beautiful. One the Trek Women page I saw a video of someone talking about their lush and riding it.
I don't have one either, but it certainly looks like a nice bike. What kind of trails do you generally ride? Go test one out at your LBS or see if you can find a Trek demo in your area.
Here's a write-up that discusses the bike's design.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
--Mary Anne Radmacher
That Trek Lush looks like a great design. I really liked what I read about it in the article that Indysteel linked to.
It found the comments section comical where several people were trashing the choice of name. I personally think that "Lush" is a great name. Don't we all want to ride a "lush" bike, especially over mountain trails?!![]()

My husband and I did an upgrade on our bike in June , I bought the
Trek Lush SL (he got the Trek Fuel EX 8).
I have 629 mile's of mostly single track trails on mine and we rode about 110 miles of trail in 6 days in Stanley Idaho. The bike's were great ,we both love them.
The fit they did at the bike shop in Boise Idaho was great. (George's on Fairview)
The Trek Lush SL is my fourth bike in about 3 1/2 years and I finally nailed it.
They did such a good job that we went back and bought 2 road bike's so we could get in more riding.
Both Trek Madone 3.1 ,once again the help and fit was great.

I'm glad to hear that George's did such a good job! I'm going to try the Superfly demo this weekend. It's a 29er.
I also joined the local women's mountain biking group, although I can't keep up with them (yet). I'm going to try to assemble a beginner group.
