Since its release in 2014, \u00c9monda SLR has set the standard for lightweight road bike performance. For the all-new \u00c9monda line-up, Trek developed a new carbon layup that made its lightest bike even lighter. The 700 Series OCLV Carbon frame also enjoys increases in stiffness and compliance, making the new \u00c9monda family an offering with both the performance attributes required by dedicated racers and improved ride quality for everyday riders.<\/p>\n<p><a
