not crazy light - barely breaks UCI limit in the highest trim...

lechprotean which is pretty good for an integrated bike with proper aero fairings and disc brakes.

100 grams or so lighter than the totl domane right?

As many people say: “light, aero, cost effective: you can pick 2”

Are u talking about the madone ha ha

What year is your Domane? I'm currently riding a Domane SL5 with Aeolus XXX 4 wheels - really happy with it.

Mazda University mine is 2020, bought November 2019. It’s a head turning purple flip colour SL5. I’ve added Continental Gatorskin Hardshells & also a second wheelset from a friend’s SL6 with 35mm Panaracer GravelKing SKs.

Any critique? I'm also wanting to buy a domane

@@antonhelsgaun I absolutely love mine. I keep up with friends on fast city rides and have taken a ton of new PRs. It’s super comfortable on all day rides which was really noticeable on my biggest day of 201km. Ability to run up to 38mm tyres is a game changer, and I run a set of road 32mm and another wheel set of 35mm knobby tyres (wish I’d gone 38 but was thinking of mudguards). The bike is a bit heavier than Emonda. If the newest Emonda released at the same time I might’ve gone Emonda, but no regrets on Domane. Maybe test ride both to compare? I’ve a few ride videos with Domane on my channel.

my 2016 with a few changes is 14.25lb in size 58cm.

Someone's getting a good deal

😂

Ozzy I’d choose Trek over Canton any day as over the life of the bike I’ve always appreciated I can take to Trek for quality maintenance and their lifetime warranty on frames I have used once on a 5yr old bike. How does Canyon’s maintenance stack up?

Not according to Hambini. You should see what he has to say about their bottom brackets lol

Both models are lightweight and stiff, but the new Emonda will lead the chase being aero and stiffer than past model years!

@@trekbikes just saw this. Thanks for the reply. I have since picked up a '21 sl5. It's an amazing bike. My next question: does the sl have the same ride characteristics as the slr; just that it's heavier?

You’ll never see any pro team using it

ebatron3000 why?

Rob S Heavy and hard to maintain thanks to disc brakes. SL6 rim brake version is already good enough.

6.76 is heavy? Are you living in the moon or somewhere gravity is less powerful?

While road bikes can be lighter than 6 with no compromise, 6.8 ain’t a lead brick either.

You get what you pay for but they have aluminium bikes that offer a lower price point as well if looking for something cheaper.

Our Domane AL models our the entry-level models we make to suit a lower price range.

Think that's pretty accurate for the sl5 disc

Fucking True

You reckon we'll get a new SC soon and will it be rim brake or disc brakes??

Yeah I agree. Not even lighter than my domane

Sorry to hear about this! Our warranty does cover defects in manufacturing, but without knowing the cause of this bolt breaking, I can't speak for it. We suggest talking to your dealer to get assistance with locating a close matching touch-up paint for your scratches, otherwise, these may be able to be buffed out.

@@trekbikes My dealer (Probike, Barcelona Spain) stated TREK can't do anything else about the scratches. Scratches are the outcome of a broken bolt during manufacturing or installation. They sold me the bike without constraints in the handlebar turning. Nobody from Probike paid attention on that detail. I discover it by myself when scratches appeared. Then I found the issue. Firstly I tought it was an engineering deffect. I called Probike and brought them the bike and one of their mechanicians stated the bolt was broken. I feel deeply frustrated. TREK should provide dealers with some product training in order to avoid similar situations in the future. Moreover TREK customer support is not handling issues as expected. This is my second TREK bike and will be the last one if TREK doesn't fix this up.

@@rogerserra1315 If you have your warranty claim number, we'd be happy to look into this further. Give our team a call at 01908 360140

Lack of demand at this price level

type17 don’t want my claiming bike to be disc sorry 😔

We've never made rum brakes

Agreed. Though the sub-700 gram frame is kinda good, I suppose

Only their oclv800 is considered to be "ultra light", but ya, they should nake that distinction more apparent.

@@ayowser01 "their" Afaik it's just a rebranding of a slightly better toray carbon fiber

Cops kills people bro bikes don’t kill people - lol - chill weirdo troll

Gary Bains I mean that's valid but imagine if trek would fuckin defund their bicycle police programs

The thing with defund police is that’s it too high risk. Imagine all the calls the police answer domestic abuse, house parties going to crazy, pulling over drunk drivers, ticketing distracted drivers, arresting people who are disturbing the peace etc etc...it’s hard to put a figure to how many lives the police save everyday. So even if only 90 % of police are good and 10% are bad- and those bad 10% kill 100 people a year but the 90% save 1000 people - it’s not perfect but it’s the best way we could do it. Now if we defund the police there would be anarchy...it would be the old world in the 1800s crime would become monopolized by the few...the world would not be better. What we need is more funding for the police, they need more training - cops should be situation trained twice a month.

Gary Bains the (reported) numbers show police consistently kill 1000 people each year, a number staying steady since 2015. defunding the police is not a call to remove the police presence, it is a call to change the way we approach our society. we wouldn't need to "invest" as much as we do as a society in the police if we would just fund better education and better social workers. think about how we as a society with our hard earned tax dollars could affect disadvantaged communities if a majority of our money went to actually teaching our children crucial life skills to keep them off the street? to keep them from growing up and thinking drinking while driving or texting while driving is okay? I see more people texting while driving. I see more people in cars harassing people who ride bikes and purposefully putting them at risk. But police never catch them. they rarely if ever ticket those people. Having reasons to arrest or threaten people for minor infractions is not a valid excuse for having a disproportionally funded police system

Let’s see what happens - Nypd is cutting 1 billion from the police budget. Now that’s not a whole lot from their overall budget, but 1 billon dollars should provide sizeable increase in funding for the programs you mentioned. Let’s circle back in 3 years and see what the results are.
