Trek Emonda SLR 7 (2022)

Trek Émonda SLR 7 - The carbon machine of the pros with Shimano equipment

US manufacturer Trek once again sets the benchmark: at 7.4 kilos complete weight, the Trek Émonda SLR 7 is one of the lightest production road bikes on the market. The developers had this in mind from the very beginning when the idea for the Émonda matured. However, the revision for the new generation also focused vehemently on optimizing the aerodynamics. The result is a road racing machine that sets standards with its climbing capabilities. And lets you fly over the asphalt on flat sections. Whether in a race, in a direct duel with competitors. Or on a tour over famous Alpine passes. The work was done in the wind tunnel, together with the pro riders of the Trek-Segafredo team. The challenge was to find the optimum ratio of weight to aerodynamics. And anyone who has ever felt the energy of the Émonda can only say: Goal achieved! In the SLR 7 version, the Émonda comes with the electronic Shimano Ultegra Di2 shift and brake group. More precise and faster you can not change gears. Other carbon parts from the house brand Bontrager make the setup perfect: an aerodynamic handlebar / stem combination and the Aeolus Pro 37 wheelset, of course Tubeless-Ready.

OCLV 800 Carbon - The lightest frame Trek has ever built.

OCLV Carbon, developed by Trek, has been a household name on the scene for years. There are different series for the bike classes, from mountain bike to road bike. The 800 Series OCLV was born from the desire to be able to manufacture an aero profile that is lighter than usual. Because usually aerodynamically shaped tubes require more material, thus also weigh heavier. The art is now to lay a wafer-thin layup at the crucial points so that the frame has the necessary stiffness and strength despite its featherweight. The result is a main frame that weighs less than 700 grams. This is complemented by the Émonda SLR carbon fork, which weighs in at around 350 grams. Another property of carbon is to be able to absorb the peaks of vibrations. Studies show that the comfort gain makes the driver / the driver less quickly tired than on an aluminum frame. So you can pedal longer and more efficiently.
