(왜 한국이 더 저렴한가?) A few factors at play: - **Regional pricing strategy** — Trek sets different MSRP by market, and Korea has been competitively priced to grow market share in Asia. - **Exchange rate** — The won has weakened against the dollar in recent months (\~₩1,505/$), which amplifies the gap for dollar earners. - **No import markup on your end** — You're buying locally at Korean retail. No shipping, no customs, no hassle. --- ## A Word of Caution: Not Everything Is Cheaper (주의: 미국이 더 싼 모델도 있음) To be fair, a few high-end models are actually **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 niche, top-tier race machines. For the vast majority of riders — road, trail, fitness, commuting — **Korea pricing wins.** --- ## The Bottom Line (결론) If you're stationed in Korea and thinking about a new bike, you're in the right place at the right time. - **First bike or fitness ride?** → FX 1 or FX 2: up to 40% cheaper here. - **Serious road upgrade?** → Madone SL 5/6/7: save ₩1.4M–2.1M vs. US prices. - **Trail or XC?** → Procaliber 9.5 at 26% off is a steal. - **E-bike curious?** → Rail+ 8 saves you almost ₩2.9M. **Stop by Platoon Cycles** — we carry Trek and can walk you through every option.
