Trek Emonda SL 6 Disc Road Bike 2023
The Trek Emonda SL 6 Disc Road Bike has long excelled on the hills due to its stiff frame and lightweight design, but now it also comes with some free speed thanks to some aerodynamic improvements.
Always known for its low weight, the Émonda now also has aero tube shapes with significantly less drag than the previous version, so it is now as fast on the flat as it is on the climbs. The H1.5 frame fit balances long-distance comfort and control with a racy position on the bike making it suitable for all-day epics and short blasts alike.
With a 25mm inner width and 30mm outer width, the Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25 alloy wheels provide wide, modern-style road tyres with excellent sidewall support when cornering and ensure a smooth rim / tyre junction for better airflow. They are tubeless-ready so can be used without inner tubes for more grip, fewer punctures and less rolling resistance.
Shimano’s 105 Di2 groupset is electronic, so shifting is effortless and accurate, no matter how much pressure there is on the pedals. The system can be paired with smartphones and GPS head units to give access to some customisation options and additional ride data. The bike’s climbing-based heritage is reflected in the gear ratios, with a compact chainset and an 11-34 cassette offering plenty of options when the road heads uphill. When it comes to descending back down to the valley, the 105 hydraulic disc brakes ensure superb control and stopping power.
