to be used.
The Emonda began as Trek’s super-light climbing bike in 2014. For the second iteration, Trek made a disc-brake version lighter and another rim-brake version lighter still. The third generation improved on aerodynamics while keeping the weight feathery. The latest aero-optimized SLR frame weighs under 700g.

2023 Trek Émonda SLR Review - A TPC Quick-Take
The Trek Emonda SLR, introduced in 2014 and revised in 2021, is a high-end road race bike renowned for its climbing capabilities and aerodynamic design. This bike offers lightweight agility and aerodynamic efficiency, blurring the lines between road racer and climbing expert.
Pros
- Aerodynamics: Enhanced by truncated airfoil profiles, integrated bar, and stem to minimize drag.
- Lightweight: The complete bicycle in a size 56cm weighs just 14.9 lbs.
- Ride experience: Exceptionally light and agile, ideal for climbing and acceleration.
- Advanced geometry: The H1.5 geometry offers aggressive, upright positions.
- High-quality materials: Uses 800 Series OCLV Carbon for aero profiles without added weight.
- T47 bottom bracket: Offers ease of maintenance and compatibility with oversized crank spindles.
Cons
- Price: With a high price tag, it's a significant investment.
- Limited comfort on rough surfaces: More efficient than comfortable, though this can be mitigated with wider tires.
- Complex front cockpit: Adjustments in the front cockpit area can be challenging due to the brake hose setup and integrated stem/bar combo.
- Handling: Requires attention on descents and may not feel as relaxed as more casual bikes.
Bottom Line
The Trek Emonda SLR is a top-tier road bike, excelling in climbing efficiency and aerodynamics. While its price reflects a high-end status, its performance and quality justify the investment for serious cyclists. Its relatively lightweight design and advanced aerodynamics make it a versatile choice, though it might require adjustments for optimal comfort on longer, rougher rides.
