![]() ![]() The 820 is a bargain bin high-tensile steel recreational mountain bike. There were (and still are) a handful of bikes with 3-digit numbers for names. Not all of Trek's bikes at the time had purely numerical naming conventions, and not all of the numbered bikes followed this rule. ![]() The extra 00 on the end is just a marketing tactic, not unlike Chevy and Ram using 1500-2500-3500 designations to top Ford's 150-250-350. Within the same category of bikes (say, mountain bikes), 4-series bikes were generally nicer than 3-series bikes, with 6 beating both and 8 at the very top. 1200 was spec'd out nicer than 1000, 3700 nicer than 3500, 7700 nicer than 7100, and the rest. The second digit usually gave you a general idea of the component trim on the bike. Trek used to have numbered series of bicycles.
