It has an upgrade to Shimano 105 with a nice Praxis crankset and a decent looking wheelset. I would have to look at the Trek's wheelset again, but the 2020 Fastroad SL 1 is particularly nice. Giant have upgraded it to 105 from the Tiagra of the 2019 model for a tiny price increase that's in line with normal inflation.
The Giiant isn't available in the USA at the moment : The Trek FX 4 is $1199.00 here Fastroad SL 1 is $1049.00 here : Wonder when we'll see it here?
