i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Markus Alexzander i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Love the bike. Very futureproof with the etap and power meter. Great paintjob and it has everything the average road cyclist needs. I say average because its a little bit heavy for a serious racer. Unfortunately for something really light these days ya gotta shell out a few thousand more for lighter frame. This bike is all I need but I plan to splurge and get the SLR frame.
I was surprised with domane sl5 10kg weight but it looks like Trek is full of surprises. I was actually considering to buy a new emonda sl5 but it turned out that in my size it weights 9.3kg without pedals which is a mountain bike territory.
it also depends on the frame size. And that you don't get competitive weight with an SL5 is logical. It is the same with every manufacturer today. For me (frame size 60) the emoda is a lightweight.
@@cmx2828 it is't true for every manufacturer. The components that trek is putting on their bikes almost feels like a scam. Bontrager wheelset on my friends' RIM brake emonda is over 2.2kg without skewers and rim tape. And they charge insane money for that. I ended up buying rose reveal disc which in my size (61cm) is 8.2kg and it was even cheaper than the sl5. I understand that comparing trek to direct to consumer brands is a bit unfair but even compared to the other brands, trek value is laughable
@jamesthebikeguy, That is a TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL BIKE. I bought my TREK-FX3, based on your presentation last November and it hasn't disappointed. But that bike...OMG, Question? For me at 57 Y.O at 205 lbs, In your opinion, How many more estimated watts would I get should I purchase this bike next year, I watch your presentation's often....Thanks.
i have a first gen emonda slr and think this is a joke, there are many gravel bikes (and some xc ht mtbs) that weigh less and have aero features as well
James, Have you ridden the Bianchi Oltre XR3 or XR4's yet? Just wondered how they would compare to this bike. Any chance on reviewing either of those two Bianchi Oltre's or the Bianchi Infinito CV's?
Well a couple of things. The Emonda has transferred to more than a "climbing bike" as the video went into, but the SRAM Force groupset has totally different gearing. Check the front chainrings and you will see the low gear is similar to a traditional 34/32.
@@dominiclossberg6017 i think open wide but they dont have the low end you're looking for with the 14. Maybe reach out to sram they probably sponsor some junior teams.
Because what goes up... also has to come down? Emonda isn't a "climbing bike" - its an all rounder, it always was. Its the bike you take if you need to go fast - everywhere. Look at how much effort was put into keeping it laterally stiff, and lively handling in addition to being fairly light (I'm talking about the SL 500 series OCLV frames. The SLRs are truly light frames) - Emonda was BUILT to descend balls out in the mountains. It also makes a pretty dandy Crit machine if you dabble in that disapline occasionally.
@@Jamesthebikeguy Fantastic bike, my PR's just keep getting better, the only issue I have had is with the plastic case on the large chain ring where it has started to crack either from the factory or LBS over-tightening the bolt. Converted to tubeless and it just fly's.
I have 2021 SL5. I did upgrade the groupset, handlebar, seat mast and wheelset. It comes around 17lbs with bottle cages, pedals and garmin mount. Frame size is 52.
@@rajeshkannan_s can you be more specific about groupset upgrade (which one exactly you went for) and also the wheelset upgrade? I would really appriciate that
1140 gr for a road bike frame.. is quite heavy. My Cube ~3500 EUR MTB has a frame weight of 1100gr. For a road bike frame in this price class I would expect a 850~900 gram frame.
850g disc brake frames are basically unobtanium. A few brands make them but it's truly expensive/hard to get one. Sub 1000g is the current frontier for top end Disc frames. Focused Ultralight ones like the S-Works Aethos get in to the 800s but remove any aero or compliance based tech
17.48 pounds with reflectors, dork disc, tubes, oem tires, the bontreger saddle (my Selle itallia SLR is 100 grams lighter) uncut steerer and spacers to allow for it. I mean yeah, its not a featherweight - you want really light? You'll need to spend the coin for the 800 series SLR the stock build has some pork on it, they always do. First, obviously... you shitcan the reflectors and dork disc - that's around 120 grams. Go tubeless, with some tubeless ready high end tires and 50ml of sealant and shave off 100 grams per wheel. if tubeless isn't your thing, at least shitcan the heavy oem tubes, and tires. You'll still probably shave off 100g per wheel with some lightweight tubes, and serious rubber. run the lightweight saddle you probably already own, and knock off another 100 grams. Most of us probably have a carbon stem knocking around in the parts bin, that's another 50 grams at least... Then there is that uncut steer tube - if you don't need all of it, you can save a few grams by cutting it down and removing some spacers. (Oh, and you can probably find a lighter expansion plug in your box -o -parts... so throw that in and remove that tank of an expansion plug trek uses on the SL frames) There you go, I just saved you about a pound, maybe even a hair more and you probably didn't have to spend a thing to do it. 16 - 16.5 pounds is pretty respectable for a size 56 "standard" frame road bike.
nice review... 8kg is bit heavy for a climbing bike...
What size is your bike? 7.93kg climbing bike without pedal
Just purchased this bike in Australia with 11 speed Ultegra Di2. All others components appear the same.
Just bought one in size 50cm it weighed 18.00. Let the legs do the talking. Hopefully, I will have time to ride this over Mt Reiner this summer.
May I know what's your height ? I am looking to buy the same size 50cm I'm 5'4. cheers
Don't understand why everybody is so focused on weight. Unless you have a bmi

Bit late here but did I miss the bit where you mentioned the frame size?
Any info on the Part that is holding your bike in this video? I would love a smaller size bike stand like that.

James,

I have no experience with Bianchi, Around me there is very little of them around.
If this is a climbing bike why did they include a 10t on the cassette ?
For climbing I would have gone with a 12or 14-36t cassette.

Brought one of these last week, waiting for it to arrive.

Concrete professional presentation. 😀
Thanks
6’2 335 lbs will this hold me ?
Get a steel frame.
Nice review. Would be better if you rode and the bike and showed you putting it through paces.
price ?
7.9kg is actually quite hefty for the money you are spending.
Price?????
Over 5Gs close to 5.5G plus tax.

Nice review. But, Dude. Those reflectors.
Safety first
It's a shame that disc brakes ruined the look and the aerodynamic of this bicycle. 😞
Looks are subjective, but how do they ruin aerodynamics? That statement has been debunked by several of wind tunnel tests
I like it🤗🚴🏾♂️👍🏽my next bike
agreed
Only 8,000.00 😳
And for that you get a rocketship
Could had removed the reflector on the front wheel LOL.
Nah safety first
I like everything about this bike except for the weight.
Fair eough

I don’t like the new design, happy with my 2019 Émonda
The 2019 has nice lines.
Reflectors left on the bike... really ?! 😂😂

Heavy as f... race bike. But oh yeah i forgot its aero and have disc brake.... As least its look nice.
my advice is to buy the frameset only and you can build it by yourself, the SL frame has potential to be under 7kg (15.4lbs)
Can u please just stop swinging the camera constantly please
Let me re-record this for you.
@@Jamesthebikeguy just do still image would be fine, so people can see the detail, can't check the detail without stopping the video every second..
