NEW Trek Emonda | Addictive! Fun! Uncompromising Disc-Only Race Bike

This video contains paid product placement for Madison. This is the brand spanking new Trek Emonda. For 2021, the bike has gone disc-only, gets a smattering of aero forming, drops weight on the top-end disc frameset and, as Jack will tell you, it’s a joy to ride, but is not without its quirks.
The original Emonda was focussed solely on low weight, and it was a true featherweight bike. Things have moved on considerably since then and riders place broader demands on their equipment.
While most were happy with the last-generation Emonda, Trek claims it wanted something ever so slightly more aero, while maintaining the low weight of the Emonda.
As such, like every other bike to hit the market in recent years, the new Emonda is claimed to be considerably more aero and lighter than its predecessor in the top-spec disc brake options.
With this new all-rounder package, Trek claims it expects the team to ride the new Emonda on seven out of ten race days.
Watch this video to find out what Assistant Editor, Jack Luke, has to say on the bike's all-important ride quality plus all you need to know about the new aero tech and of course the weight.

The Trek Emonda goes disc only for 2021 😱 Will you miss the rim brake version, or are you all in on discs? 📀 How angry does Jack's wild lockdown hair make you? 💇‍♂️Let use know your thoughts in the comments!

This one is most sluggish out of all emondas made to date. Bought sl6 pro with upgraded wheels and jeeez feels and weight like a tank in comparison to my rim sl6. For record... Upgraded sl6 pro with pro 37 wheels weight 8.2kg. My stock sl6 from 2019 is 7.8. With upgraded wheels is 7.2kg. For new I paid €4.5k for 2019 paid €2.6k. Tldr New one is waste of money.

Trek: “Bike saves time at 350watts.” Jack, “I am unable to verify those claims”

[@LarsRR]

By C just because Hambini is a weak cyclist doesn’t mean this is rubbish. The Emonda SLR is a super-high end bike, so it is aimed at the very top end of cyclists. I am not talking world tour, I am talking top level amateurs. 350 Watts at the weight of the average World Tour Pro (68 to 69kg) is an FTP of around 5.1 W/kg. That is a figure, that is absolutely attainable for a young, healthy rider, who commits 10 to 15 hours weekly to structured training over a few years. I have gotten myself to 333 FTP at 70kg within under 18 months of starting cycling. And I am clearly far off being the best amateur rider in my area. If you are not nearly able to perform these figures, it may not be the best idea to purchase a $10,000+ bike and hoping to get the full gain of what was promised. All I am saying is „350 Watts for the duration fo Alpe d’Huez“ is absolutely attainable without needing to be a pro tour cyclist.

[@michaelpegasiou4531]

These manufacturers always say it’s a certain % lighter than the last one,by now they should weigh nothing.

[@austinshoupe3003]

that's not how percentages work. If you reduced the weight of a 100kg object by 2%, it will weigh 98kg. But then reduce it again by 2% and youve brought it down to 96.04kg. The first 2% was 2kg. The next one is 1.96. The next one is 1.92. In theory, if you follow this trend infinitely, you would never hit 0. Percentages are weird. And that's why people marketing products like them.

Don't know what Trek has been doing lately, same with their Supercaliber, their 60mm travel XC bike weights more than alot of competitors 100-110mm travel XC bikes & the Supercaliber is expensive as balls compared to others (GX components in 7000USD builds, wtf?), some others give you SRAM AXS builds for that price... And now this Emonda, with 105 components this carbon bike weights over 9kg, same weight as my aluminium fitness bike, and if you want the 7kg bike you will have to put out 12000USD (before tax)...

[@LarsRR]

What aero bike is that? The lightest „full“ Aerobike I know of is the Specialized Venge, and that is heavier than this. Always depends on how you weigh (with pedals, cages, pm, Comp mount or without), the size, and of course the wheel depth. You could build an „aero bike“ with climbing wheels, although I think that misses the point really

[@lukepowell1201]

Great bike and interesting move forward overall. However, I have to agree that 25 mm tube tires are just outdated at this point. I also feel strongly that in 2020 it's a total copout to market their climbing oriented bike with a short-cage de-railer. When I take my bike to the mountains (and I do), I'm going for the biggest cassette possible. On my 2016 Emonda it was a pain to have to buy and fit an entirely new rear de-railer in order to put a more climbing oriented cassette on my climbing bike.

[@Zeben84]

Heavier, not using the H2 anymore on the SL versions but now using H1.5 which is a more slammed bike (can be good for some people and bad for others), new proprietary fork, back on 52/36 instead of the good enough 50/34 Atleast they are getting away from bb90 :') My gravel build is lighter with bottle cage, pedals, 42mm spe pathfinder and all little accessory (gps/go pro mount, chain catcher) ...

This seems like exactly the same KVF design from a few years ago upgraded with disc. The prices at 33% higher for the SL6 which used to be $2499 for the rim brake and now costs $3299 for this new design with disc brakes. Trek seems to alternate between oval tubes and the aero tube shapes every few years. In addition, all their bikes have gotten heavier with disc brakes. The old Emonda SLR6 to my recollection was 14.75 lbs and was in the $6000 range. I don't think you can find anything that low weight anymore without paying $10k or more.

[@chrisgilligan4968]

I'm glad that your review didn't place very much emphasis on the lightweight characteristics of the Emonda. Simply put, the only model in the entire range that is lightweight is the Emonda SLR9. Even the SLR7 is but a whisker shy of 17 lbs when you put on pedals and cages (and that is by Trek's own admission right on their website). In Canada you need to shell out $16500 +tax (assuming they aren't into discounting their just released 2021 models) to get a lightweight bike. Why would it be that the SL7 an $8000 CAD bike that is touted as a "climbing" bike would come with an advertised weight of 17.52 lbs before pedals or cages? That's flat out ridiculous.

For a climbing bike discs are the right choice. Rim brakes will heat up the rim and if it is carbon then the tire will burst.

i have the same dilemma

[@danielongkiatco516]

Good day, what size would be fit im 5'7" (170cm)? Geometry? Is it good for bike touring? Like more on long rides and more climbing? Hope you give me some help about this. Im planning to buy this Trek Emonda SL5
