Good day everyone. Today's episode of "Bicycle Showcase" will feature the Emonda SL 5 Disc. Émonda SL 5 Disc is a lightweight carbon road bike with a balanced ride quality, superior handling characteristics, and the added benefit of free speed thanks to aero tube shaping. It's a great choice for century rides on hilly terrain, windy flats, and speedy descents. Drop a comment down below if you feel we have missed anything or if you want to leave general feedback.

Love my 2022 SL5. I upgraded the seat cap to the 0 setback carbon, wheels to the Aeolus Pro51, tires to Pirelli PZero Race TLR 28mm, saddle to Aeolus Elite and bars to the Shimano Carbon Ergo PLT compact. Even at 17.5lbs with Ultegra pedals in a 56, this bike rides "lighter" than it's weight would indicate. Definitely has some aero benefit and is noticeably faster on the flats and even on the hills than many of my older rim brake bikes that weigh up to 3lbs less. Bonus is that the blue/smoke blue finish is simply stunning. One of may favorites....and I own numerous Colnagos that are revered for their paint schemes.

After not riding for 3 years I decided to start riding again recently after retiring and honestly my previous bike was a Tarmac Sl3 that I absolutely loved and cannot say anything bad about I purchased this Trek Emonda Sl5 basically because in my price range this was the only bike I could find in my area but wow what a bike this is and the current 105 and disc brakes I have zero complaints after my first 155 miles (I purchased the silver bike) lol

I can’t decided between Emonda or domane SL5 can you help two choose between the two? Is the ride quality of Emonda is so harsh for longer distances?

@GetOutArizona 2 жыл бұрын

Excellent question my friend, thank you for asking. If you are going to be riding longer distances, go with the SL5. The relaxed geometry and stance are better suited for this type of ride. I hope this was helpful to you. Again, thank you for watching and interacting.

Just want to sir.. If OEM of emonda and madone is the same quality? So much oem now roaming in the social media.. If not the same what are the difference.. As dlfor seller its the same they used same material

@GetOutArizona 2 жыл бұрын

Great question and thank you for asking. The Emonda and Madone are identical in quality but they are designed for different purposes. Think of the Madone as the top-shelf road bike Trek has to offer. ultra-lightweight and purpose-driven. If you are a competitive road cyclist, this is the bike for you. The Emonda is well-rounded and can do a lot of different things on the road-style bike. Its geometry is less aggressive than the Madone so for some, it will offer a higher degree of comfort. So, depending on what your needs are, choose accordingly.

Is this bike, sl5 emonda a mid range racing bike or low? It says at times entry level carbon trek bike but yet costs way more than al and alr treks

@GetOutArizona Жыл бұрын

I would say it's mid to top-end, depending on the group. When you ride it, nothing feels entry-level at all. Now, when you compare it to the Madone or Speed bike, yes, it may seem entry-level, but I certainly would feel that way if I owned one. Thanks for taking the time to watch and ask your question, my friend. Adventure safely.

@@GetOutArizona your insight is very helpful, thanks a lot. So to get it clearer, my sl5 emonda i have just bought is a mid range race bike even though its the entry trek carbon bike because the al and alr treks are inferior models to the sl5 edmonda? All so confusing. Thanks again

@GetOutArizona Жыл бұрын

@@landscapeandmonuments1615 it is very confusing, my friend. And I wouldn't say the AL or the ALR models are inferior. They are different because they use aluminum for the frame build instead of carbon. I have a couple of friends who prefer aluminum to carbon, and I refer to them as unenlightened, lol. 😆 In all seriousness, though, I honestly believe the heart of the rider makes the biggest difference. That being said, my friend, you will not be disappointed in the performance of your Emonda SL5.

how can you call it light weight its 20 lbs?

@GetOutArizona 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, Math Guy, for your question. Weight, at times, can be relative from one person to the next. My Rail 7 weighs 52 lbs, my 920 comes in at 28lbs, my fuel ex tips the scales at 24.5 lbs, my Domane at 19 lbs, and that's with swapping out some parts, and last but not least, my friend's Madone comes in at 16 lbs. Hell, Specialized S -Works has bikes that are 14 lbs don't ya know. Now, is the Emonda a featherweight, no. Are there road bikes that weigh less, absolutely. Would I personally consider 20 lbs heavy, not at all. My larger concern with any bike has always been functionality though, so I tend not to worry about weight. I hope this sheds some light on why I can refer to 20 lbs as being lightweight. And I am not being snarky, I just want to be thorough.
