Trek launched an all-new \u00c9monda road bike today. The latest \u00c9monda is focussed on aerodynamic efficiency while improving on the lightweight climbing ambitions of the previous \u00c9monda models. In fact, Trek claim a rider holding a constant 350 watts will be 15 seconds faster up the iconic Alpe d’Huez over the previous \u00c9monda.<\/p>\n

There will be two \u00c9monda frame specification levels, the SLR and SL. Both frames are identically shaped, meaning there is no difference in aerodynamics efficiency and geometry. The range topping SLR frame uses Trek’s new 800 Series OCLV Carbon with a frame weight dipping under 700 grams. The more affordable SL frame is constructed from 500 Series OCLV Carbon with a claimed frame weight of 1142 grams but offers all the same aerodynamic and handling gains.<\/p>\n

Accompanying the launch of the latest \u00c9monda are new Aeolus aerodynamic wheels and Aeolus RSL bar\/stem combo<\/a> that cleans up the cockpit.<\/p>\n

In South Africa, we’ll have access to the \u00c9monda SLR frame through the Project One<\/a> customisation programme. On the shop floor you’ll find the \u00c9monda SL7<\/a> and SL6 Pro<\/a> models.<\/p>\n

Read the press release below for all the details on the all-new \u00c9monda.<\/p>\n

Press Release<\/h2>\n

\"ccs-62657-0-43123000-1592209974.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trek released an all-new \u00c9monda with aerodynamic tube shaping today. It’s a major performance upgrade for the platform, and it makes Trek’s lightest climbing bike faster than ever, while still keeping the frame weight under 700 g.<\/p>\n

Too often aero frame shapes are heavy and ride poorly. After over two years of development, and the creation of Trek’s lightest OCLV Carbon lay-up ever, Trek engineers have found the perfect balance of speed and light weight, all while maintaining the amazing ride quality that \u00c9monda is famous for.<\/p>\n

Available in both an SL and SLR version, the all-new aero \u00c9monda is proven to be faster on flats and climbs alike.<\/p>\n

\u00c9monda SLR<\/h2>\n

\"ccs-62657-0-63428000-1592209981.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The all-new \u00c9monda SLR is the bike of choice for Trek-Segafredo climbers. In fact, racer Lizzie Deignan deemed it ‘the best bike I have ever ridden<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n

\n\"ccs-62657-0-44922200-1592209662.jpg\"<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s made of all-new 800 Series OCLV Carbon, weighs less than 700 grams and delivers significant speed advantages thanks to its aerodynamic design. Compared to its predecessor, \u00c9monda SLR is 60 seconds faster per hour faster on flats and 18 seconds per hour faster at an 8% grade.<\/p>\n

800 Series OCLV Carbon<\/h2>\n

800 Series OCLV Carbon is Trek’s lightest and highest-performing carbon lay-up to date. It\u2019s 30% stronger than previous OCLV Carbon laminates, yet just as stiff, allowing Trek engineers to create the \u00c9monda SLR’s aero shapes without adding a lot of weight.<\/p>\n

\u00c9monda SL<\/h2>\n

The \u00c9monda SL features the same fast aero tube shaping as \u00c9monda SLR, but it’s made from lightweight 500 Series OCLV Carbon. Riders will enjoy both the gains in speed and lower price-point \u00c9monda SL provides.<\/p>\n

Speedy design details<\/h2>\n

The all-new \u00c9monda models have hidden cable routing, most come with new aerodynamic Aeolus wheels and the \u00c9monda SLR comes with an Aeolus RSL Bar\/Stem that was purpose-built for it. Plus, the \u00c9monda\u2019s H1.5 geometry, developed with the Trek-Segafredo pro cycling team, puts the rider in the optimal aero race position.<\/p>\n
