## Why Are Prices Lower in Korea? (왜 한국이 더 저렴한가?)

- **Regional pricing strategy** — Trek sets different MSRP by market. Korea has been priced competitively to grow market share in Asia.
- **Exchange rate** — At ₩1,490/$, the won is still weak enough to create a meaningful gap for dollar earners.
- **No import markup on your end** — You're buying locally at Korean retail. No shipping, no customs, no middleman.

## Not Everything Is Cheaper (미국이 더 싼 모델도 있음)

A few high-end, niche models are more expensive in Korea:

| Model (모델)                         | Korea Premium (한국 추가 비용) |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Speed Concept SLR 7                | +20% more in Korea       |
| Supercaliber SLR 9.9 XTR Di2 Gen 2 | +9% more in Korea        |
| Supercaliber SLR 9.9 XX FA Gen 2   | +9% more in Korea        |

These are top-tier race machines that most riders aren't cross-shopping. For road, trail, fitness, commuting, and e-bikes — **Korea wins across the board.**
