Honestly, I don't like that matte color. I liked the previous gen more. Way more.

Great video, thanks a lot for getting into all of the details!!! According to google the Gen7 SL frameset weight is: 1050g - 56cm (frame-only, painted) 418g (fork-only, painted), which is very close to the new one. On the other side, on the new one they sacrificed the looks! Gen7, which I own, looks like a rocket ship, while the new one looks worse compared to Orca Aero or Canyon, but it's a lot more expensive. I would personally wouldn't upgrade, as the new one is a downgrade!

Removing the 60 is a huge mistake. The short front end on the 58 is going to force me into a longer stem and put me in danger of toe overlap but the jump to the 62 has the top tube so high I can't ride it. I was 100% going to get this bike but now I am forced to pass. I wonder if Trek's bean counters are going to factor the lost sales into their brilliant cost cutting move.

Heavy considering this is now Trek's climbing bike. Emonda cancelled. I have a 2017 Trek Emonda that comes in at 14 lbs ready to ride.
@Jamesthebikeguy 10 күн бұрын
Yes this also a mid-spec variant. The 2017 Emonda was especially light (even more so the SLR) but this bike would still be faster over a long ride regardless of additional weight when compared to the equivalent 2017. FWIW, the 2017 SL 6 weighed in one ounce shy of 17lbs. So not much weight gain for way more overall bike.

Not a fan of this change, they just made a heavy Emonda and a slow Madone to decrease manufacturing costs.

Yeah, these bikes are expensive. But people who spend this kind of money on expensive bikes already have some kind of reliable transportation. People who can't afford them don't even know these bikes exist.
