Yup - Looks like this is the right size for you. According to https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/b...-disc/p/28474/, the bike uses quick release skewers (the 5mm skewers that normal Pitlocks replace.)
The rear axle is 135mm, which means that the front is almost certainly the standard 105mm.
Pitlock skewers are threaded for 30mm, so the 155mm length (which is the "standard") will meet your 135mm needs. Note that the 155mm length is actually 165mm long, total. The extra 10mm are intended to accommodate the locking mechanism. Ie, the skewer is threaded from 135mm - 165mm.
The 119mm will fit the front 105mm QR skewer.
If you're US or Canada based, please consider purchasing your Pitlocks from us directly - https://www.urbanbiketech.com/shop/p...e-skewer-sets/. We've been serving these markets since 2006.

Recall that recent Treks use their proprietary ThruSkew system on the front hub, which may or may not be compatible with standard QR stuff. I don't know either way; it may be best to check with Trek themselves on this.
