This is a climbing bike and 8.5kg what is going on in the industry! Used to be one of my favourite bikes but now it’s a tank.

[@jeffperin1456]

Seriously it’s the same paint job as my 2022 Domane SL6 and my Domane without a power meter but cages and pedals on is only 1# heavier…the Emonda should be lighter even sl6 I would have thought it would be less then 18# still a deal…

Heavy ass disc brakes, heavy ass frames to support it. The platform performs well but YES very poor weight

I bought a 2016 Edmonda SL6 for $1,300 a few years back. Sold it for about the same. Kinda wish I still had it. 17.15lbs stock for a 56 including a Garmin mount, bottle cage, and Dura Ace pedals.

[@aidanmasterson50]

Anything with Rival on it is always a tank. As a frame build though I’d have the Emonda. Rides of Japan has a sick setup on his.

[@sagcrossroad]

@Cain Dingle Boxing not quite true, emonda sl6 with ultegra mechanical is around 8kg

[@GCPerformance18]

agreed

[@lazyrider6918]

The price on this bike is "reasonable". The bike industry has created an atmosphere were they have duped customers in thnking they are getting good "value" in overpriced options. These bloated weights are intentional so they can justify the $12k for other bikes in the collection that weight a few pounds less.

[@charliedillon1400]

100% And three years later the doofus that bought the $12k bike will have it Craigslist and think he'll get $8k for it because it's "barely ridden".

[@DerekGreen123]

In terms of the way they price bikes across their range... it's more like they release limited High-End 'Marquee' models at super high prices (10-20K) to make the 4-5K models (that were 2-3K not that long ago) seem better value. Read up on 'Premium Decoy Pricing'. Too much marketing led bullshit in this world 😐😫

[@lazyrider6918]

@@charliedillon1400 Exactly, and I can ride ANY bike I want and in the past I would ante up top dollar for frames like the Litespeed Vortex back in day which cost as much as high end frames now. BUT it was handmade in Chattanooga TN in a sterile chamber and not in some Chinese factory. The profit margins on frames has gone up exponentially and instead of dropping prices now that they are made in China, they are taking business model of increasing prices to manipulate consumer perception. My Focus Cayo Evo was made in Germany and I got it new on closeout in 2015 for $2190 shipped with Ultegra Di2, Fulcrum wheels, Prologo saddle 3T cockpit etc. Similar spec now is $8-10k. CYCLING IS THE NEW GOLF

[@thedronescene7474]

Agree! 3-5 years ago, any Ultrgra bike was 15-16 pounds. Now they are 18-20 and they call it “good deal”. Also discs are a pain! In all my group rides, I always encounter someone with disc rubbing, noises, you name it.

[@lazyrider6918]

@@thedronescene7474 I am not averse to disc brakes other than the weight penalty and the outrageous increase in price of complete bikes that weigh 17lbs and under. There is more to the pricing than just the supply chain problem. I am going to sit back and snap up a barely used $10k bike for 1/3 the price.

[@stevenkendall8892]

I have owned this exact model SL6 for around 6 months. I changed out the stem & bars for Enve carbon, cassette for 10-33 Red, tyres for GP5000s TR set up tubeless, saddle Prologo Dimension. Now @ 8Kg. The wheels especially the rear are heavy as hell. The bike rides sweet, but still not as good as my 2018 rim brake Emonda. Long live the rim brake…

[@paul_hd1875]

Curious… GC draws comparison between this and the SL7 comp. A Specialized bike that would likely go unmodified by the majority of its owners. On your Emonda, how much extra cash have you had to put into it? $300-500?

[@stevenkendall8892]

@@paul_hd1875 Contact points are a personal thing, so no matter what bike I bought I would most probably change. Stem, saddle I already had. I did not need the 36t gear on the cassette. The stock Bontrager tyres are adequate at best. So bars, tyres, cassette at UK prices £700.

[@jesseladd6864]

@@paul_hd1875 the sl7 comp is the same price but missing aero bars, carbon wheels, a power meter, and the carbon layup is noticeably different. The value of the trek is WAY a better. This bike is $5k or so compared to the tarmac expert/pro at $8500 ish

[@mikenarayan5622]

I got a 2019 emonda ALR aluminum with dura ace 9000 with rim bike breaks, 58 cm weight at 16 lbs. Rides very comfortable & stiff on hills. Seems like new bikes more heavier & complicated to work on. Bike industry is going backwards, nice paint job.

[@DaveCM]

I was thinking the same. I had a 2013 SuperSix (58 cm) with mechanical Ultegra and (obviously) rim brakes. It weighed 15 pounds and wasn't even the high mod frame. It cost less than half the cost of this bike. (I do have a newer SuperSix high mod with Red Etap Hydro and similar weight wheels that weighs the same as my old one did for a frame of reference. Yes, way more expensive groupset and frame for the same weight.) I can't help but agree with you. Especially given that the cost of bikes seems to be increasing very disproportionately to inflation.

Love this bike - this was my first ever road bike, my first carbon bike - and I got it for $4800 before inflation drove up the price. Mine has been outfitted since with FFWD 77mm tubeless carbon rims, GP 5k S TR’s, and a carbon Zipp SL-70 aero carbon wing handlebar set.

[@charlesmansplaining]

Just want to put this out there, my titanium disc brake bike weighs less than that bike. The majority of the weight on that thing must be from the SRAM group. Kudos to TREK for actually putting a badge of their logo on the headtube. IMO a bike brand ain't S**T if all they do is paint the logo or use a decal, "Colnago!" on the headtube. I'd buy that bike if it had Shimano on it.

[@GCPerformance18]

yea the bike would be clean with a shimano 105 di2

[@charlesmansplaining]

[@UFgatorschampion]

I recently bought this bike for 3,800 euros (tax free exemption). I sold my 2021 sl6 with mechanical ultegra before moving to Europe, thinking that i'd find a better deal overseas. Nope not the case at all, especially compared to the pinarellos bianchis and colnagos. I love the new sl6 with rival drivetrain, yes its slightly heavier but the carbon wheels and and electronic drive train outweigh the 1/2 pound difference in weight. Over time I'll swap out the heavy components for lighter more expensive components. Again not the lightest "climbing" bike but I view the Emonda as the best overall road bike perfect for someone with a "puncheur" riding style.

[@希羅-y4l]

a bit regretted buying this model, already upgrade to Hunt 45" carbon wheel sets (14xx gram), Sram Red cassette, carbon stem and handles bar, but still 8.2-8.kg now, thinking upgrade the crank-set to Sram red at the moment. But the spending on upgrade almost equal to buy a SLR Level model..... no offence but think twice before you buy.

[@DaM.1]

8.7kg without pedals? My very old aluminium Trek Alpha weighs 9.6kg without pedals. I bought used for 300€, and spent another 250€ on a used but like new Tiagra groupset. So, if I think it's time to upgrade, I spend 5500$ and get a bike that isn't even a kg lighter? Makes no sense. The bike shops have no fault, the brands are the ones putting out shit bike after shit bike

The intros to these videos with the luggage scale are top-notch 🤣 Appreciate you getting this bike in, I originally wanted this bike in the black and prizm colorway. 20lbs is HEAVY especially with Carbon wheels and a Carbon Frame. Originally this was priced at $4500 but like you said with today's market here we are at over $5000, def still an EXCELLENT value considering the Trek brand.

So heavy for that price. 19lbs? Wow. Is sram etap worth it for another $1k?

[@GCPerformance18]

[@danielakerman8241]

I love Trek’s lineup, their design, and their color ways, but nothing Trek sells can possibly be labeled “best value.” You can get a bike with the same geometry (or very close), same or less weight, and higher spec build from other reputable manufacturers (Ribble comes to mind, possibly Giant or Canyon).

[@sagcrossroad]

rival is not worth it man, heavy as hell. The mechanical ultegra version of this bike is around 8kg(no accessories) and cheaper, with some twick it easily goes under 7.8kg

[@crimson177]

03:50 the purpose of the stop is to protect the internally routed cables not the top tube. However it can instead destroy the headtube or the fork depending on how the stop has been implemented.

[@stevenkendall8892]

The headset top cap forms part of the stop, sacrificial part that can be replaced if needed.

[@yonglingng5640]

The steer stop is a small detachable plastic piece located behind the steerer tube on the head tube (attached with a countersunk bolt). Even when this is broken (which I've seen a handful of times), the fork crown won't hit the down tube.

[@key4duty]

Prices these days are crazy. I can selI my bike without losing a single coin just because the prices of new ones went significantly up in such a short time. That's not a healthy situation and certainly not a good development. In a few years a bike will cost as much as a decent car if this doesn't stop.

I’m enjoying the bike so far kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.

[@GCPerformance18]

yea they are getting heavy

[@NewPolishScientist]

Is it because of groupset this is so heavy?

[@arthurreyes2632]

You are right about the groupset. But also the wheels and tires are heavy, seat mast cap is aluminum instead of carbon, saddles is heavy, aluminum bars and stem as well.

[@yonglingng5640]

@@arthurreyes2632 Only the lowest trim (5) uses an aluminium seat mast cap, other trims use the carbon counterpart.

[@GCPerformance18]
