I have a 2021 fx sport carbon, which I enjoy, but the bike is very similar to a road bike feeling, which I enjoy for exercise, and is carbon.
I want a second bike, for recreational and casual rides but still can be utilized for exercise and I can take with, when traveling and riding in the rain/ being able to lock it up outside. I mostly ride on pavement.
The DS gen 5 has 650b wheels and, while 2024 trek FX has similar geometry to trek fx sport which is also similar to DS gen 5, with 700 wheels. DS gen 5 is slightly more upright, and has bigger tires
Which would you get see below? Would their be a huge speed difference ?

I have a 2023 FX3 & DS3 gen. 5.
I share time on both for commuting. The DS3 is slightly more upright however & feels more comfortable overall. It also rolls really well on pavement, but maybe just slightly slower vs. the FX3.
I’ve heard the 2024 FX3 frame geometry has been changed & it also has bigger 700×38 tires, both of which might make it a better choice now, vs. a DS3, for pavement riding. As soon as my local bike shop gets a white FX3, I’m gonna go & look at it.
When did they add the carbon fork to the FX3?
