Trek FX Sport 4 Carbon Blendr Compatibility

Hola all
My wife has a 2021 Trek Fx Sport 4 Carbon we bought during the pandemic which she loves.
it was purchased brand new from a Trek Retailer store here and never modified aside from throwing a 38T wolf tooth chainring on the front(she really hates climbing!)

The bike specs say It came with the Bontrager Elite Stem in 100mm which is Blendr compatable but no matter how many times we try our Blendr mount(s) it will not fit around the bar the bike came with (Satellite Plus IsoZone). Is it possible that the bike comes with a Blendr compatable stem but not blendr compatable bar? if both are 31.8mm it should all work right? Any insight would be incredible cause I’m scratching my head and going a bit crazy here.

Are you using the correct Blendr for your stem? Bontrager makes different adapters based on their different stems and base. If you have the Elite stem make sure you are using a base thats made for the Elite.

I use Blendr for my Garmin and Ion front light and had not fitment issues at all..

You can see all the options here.

What Ragball said. The FX stem uses a different base mount than the something like the Domane would use. I know, because my wife has that same bike and the mount I used on my 2021 Domane will not work on her bike. The new Domane, I just got Saturday has a completely new stem design and would require a different base mounts. , so I just said screw that, and I bought a K-Edge that allows me to mount my Garmin up top and light below just like I did with the Blender, but now, I can put on any bike I have in the future.

I do indeed believe as the mount I have says it’s compatible with the Elite stems, not sure that's the issue. here it is Blendr mount

Check this against your stem: It will show you exactly what mount works with each stem.
