I have the 7.2FX, and picked it for 2 reasons - there is no front fork or seat suspension and the set up seemed a bit more aggressive. It has flat handlebars and non- adjustable stem (I changed my stem). The drivetrain looks the same. I felt much more upright on the 7200. It comes with suspension and cushy seat. I had a cheap (very cheap) version of the hybrid before this, and did not like to ride it longer distances. My longest so far on the 7.2FX is 31 mi and climbing. I am hoping my transition to a road bike won't be as tough from FX. I hope this helps a bit.
