History and Iconic Models

Trek started out in 1975 by providing only frames. In 1976 they would supply entire bicycles.

For many people Trek is most famous for sponsoring Lance Armstrong’s U.S. Postal team during the late 90’s up to his retirement.

Trek 5000 1989

But Trek already pioneered the use of carbon fiber in 1989 with the Trek 5000.

Trek Y Foil 1998

It would result in the short-lived but daring design of the Y-Foil, introduced in 1998. One of the few bikes that is designated with something more than just a number.

Trek 850 1983

They were also early adopters of the mountain bike craze, with the Trek 850 launched in 1983.

Trek Y22 1995

Their early foray in using carbon fiber would be later used with the introduction of the iconic Y33 and Y22 models. Mountain bikes with a monocoque carbon fiber frame. Although it used the suspension technique URT ( unified rear triangle ) which would turn out to be rubbish, the original design was considered iconic.

First look: Trek’s 2016 road bike range

Currently, all of the Madones are high-end, the most affordable (it’s all relative!) model being the £4,500 Madone 9.2 (above) with Bontrager Paradigm Elite tubeless ready wheels and a Shimano Ultegra groupset. 

Trek Madone 9.5.jpg

The 9.5 is £6,000. The extra money gets you Shimano’s flagship Dura-Ace groupset and Bontrager’s Aura wheels.

Trek Madone 9.9.jpg

Go to £9,000 and you can have the Madone 9.9 (above) with Bontrager’s very fast Aeolus 5 D3 wheels and the electronic Di2 version of Shimano’s Dura-Ace groupset. 

Trek Madone Race Shop Limited.jpg

The super-high-end Madone Race Shop Limited (above) tops the range. It comes with the same components as the Madone 9.9 but the Race Shop Limited is built around a 700 Series frame rather than 600 Series – the same version used by the Trek Factory Racing professional riders.

If none of those builds or finishes is exactly what you want, you can use Trek’s Project One system and have a Madone in your dream build. Prices start at £5,450, depending on your spec. We had one made for review and it was a fabulous ride, but it costs! 

Trek boasts that the Emonda has been “the lightest production road line ever” since its introduction in mid-2014.

The Emonda range covers three different carbon-fibre frames – the S, the SL and the SLR – and an aluminium model (see below). Each of those frames comes in various different builds, and some come in women’s specific versions.

Trek Emonda S 4.jpg

The most affordable carbon-fibre Emonda is the S 4 (£1,100, above), made from Trek’s 300 Series OCLV carbon. It gets a tapered head tube and an oversized bottom bracket for stiffness and is compatible with Trek’s DuoTrap computer sensor that integrates into one of the chainstays. It’s built up with a Shimano Tiagra groupset.

Trek Emonda S 5.jpg

The S 5 (£1,300, above) looks a really attractive options. It’s built around the same frame and fork but its groupset is the next level up in Shimano’s hierarchy, 105 – and we’re big fans of Shimano 105 here at road.cc .

Trek Emonda S 6.jpg

The £1,600 S 6 (above) gets a higher level again: Shimano Ultegra.

The Emonda SLs are made from a higher level of carbon fibre – Trek’s OCLV 500 Series – have wide BB90 bottom brackets and full-carbon forks. They also have seatmasts rather than standard seatposts to save weight and improve comfort.

Trek Emonda SL 5 Womens.jpg

The most accessible of the Emonda SLs is the 5, available in both men’s and women’s models (above), equipped with a Shimano 105 groupset and Bontrager Race tubeless ready wheels. 

Trek Emonda SL 6.jpg

We very much like the look of the £2,100 Emonda SL 6 which comes in a Shimano Ultegra build while the top-level SL 8 (£2,900) is available in either Dura-Ace or Red – each the top level offerings from Shimano and SRAM respectively.

The SLR Emondas are the lightest of the bunch. Trek claims that the 700 Series OCLV carbon-fibre frame weighs just 690g. That’s astonishingly light. 

Trek Emonda SLR 6.jpg

The Shimano Ultegra-equipped SLR 6 (£4,300, above) is available in either an H1 or and H2 fit (see above), so you can pick the setup that works best for you.

Trek Emonda SLR 8.jpg

The same is true of the SLR 8 (above, £5,800) which comes with Shimano Dura-Ace components.

Trek Emonda SLR 9.jpg

If you want electronic shifting, the £8,000 SLR 9 (above) is a real stunner with Dura-Ace Di2 and Aeolus 3 D3 TLR wheels from Trek’s in-house Bontrager brand. 

Trek Emonda SLR 10.jpg

Trek claims that the top level Emonda SLR 10 (above) weighs an incredible 10.25lb (4.6kg) in a 56cm frame and H1 fit. The boutique build includes superlight wheels and a carbon saddle from Tune and an integrated bar and stem from Bontrager. How much? Um, sadly it’s £11,000!

A year after the introduction of the carbon-fibre Emondas, Trek introduced an aluminium version. It’s not quite as lightweight as the carbon ones but it’s still pretty darn light and fast, and the ride quality is very good.

The alu Emonda features a tapered head tube for accurate cornering and it comes in Trek’s H2 fit – performance-orientated but not extreme. The welds are almost invisible to the point that you’d be hard pressed to see that this is an aluminium bike at first glance.

Trek Emonda ALR 4.jpg

The Emonda ALR 4 (above, £900) is fitted with a Shimano Tiagra 10-speed groupset but we think that the £1,100 ALR 5 (below) is the pick of the bunch.

Trek Emonda ALR 5.jpg

It has a full Shimano 105 groupset, a full carbon fork and a very good Bontrager Paradigm Race saddle. 

Trek Emonda ALR 6.jpg

The ALR 6 (above), which we have reviewed here on road.cc , comes equipped with Shimano Ultegra and it’s another aggressively priced model at £1,400.

Like most bikes at this price point, all of the Emonda ALR models come with compact gearing (smaller than standard chainrings) to help you get up the hills. 

The Domane is Trek’s endurance race bike that sits alongside the Madone and the Emonda (above). This is the bike you’ll see most of Trek’s professional riders aboard on the cobbled classics like Paris-Roubaix because of the way it copes with lumps and bumps. 

The frame features an IsoSpeed decoupler (see above) that allows the seat tube to move independently of the top tube and the seatstays. It can pivot back and forth to soak up vibrations and cancel out bigger hits from the road surface. 

The Domanes also come with IsoSpeed forks that are designed to add more comfort to the ride, and they’re built to an endurance geometry, meaning that the position is a little more upright than normal to put less strain on your back.

Trek Domane 2.0.jpg

The Domane range opens with the £900 2.0 (above) that centres on a 200 Series Alpha Aluminium frame and a carbon fork. The 10-speed Shimano Tiagra groupset includes a compact chainset and an 11-32-tooth cassette, giving you some small gears for climbing long, steep hills.

Trek Domane 2.3.jpg

Pay £1,100 for the Domane 2.3 (above) and you can upgrade to a Shimano 105 groupset.

All the other Domanes are carbon-fibre. The 4 Series bikes get oversized BB90 bottom brackets and tapered head tubes for stiffness, along with almost invisible mudguard mounts. As well as standard rim brake models, this series includes disc brake bikes for more stopping control in all weather conditions.

Trek Domane 4.0 Disc.jpg

The cheapest of these is the £1,400 Trek Domane 4.0 Disc (above) which is built with a 9-speed Shimano Sora groupset and TRP’s HY/RD cable-operated hydraulic disc brakes. 

Trek Domane 4.3.jpg

The 4.3 (above) looks like a winner to us. With a reliable Shimano 105 groupset, it’s priced at £1,500. 

Trek Domane 4.5 Disc.jpg

The 4.5 is available in both rim brake and disc brake versions (above). The bikes’ Shimano Ultegra components are the same whichever model you choose but the 4.5 Disc (£2,200) has Shimano RS685 hydraulic disc brakes that operate on 160mm rotors rather than the  Shimano 105 rim brakes of the standard Domane 4.5 (£1,800).

The 5 Series Domanes are made from a higher grade of carbon-fibre and feature seatmasts rather than seatposts, the idea being to add comfort and save a little weight. 

Trek Domane 5.2.jpg

The £2,200 Domane 5.2 (above) is a Shimano Ultegra model that looks like good value for money while you can have the £3,000 5.9 in either top-level Shimano Dura-Ace or with electronic shifting courtesy of Shimano’s second tier Ultegra Di2. The choice is yours.

Go up to the Domane 6 Series and you shift from 500 Series OCLV carbon to 600 Series which is a little lighter and stiffer.

Trek Domane 6.2 Disc.jpg

The 6.2 is available in rim brake and disc brake (above) versions – £2,900 and £3,200 respectively – the disc brakes in question being Shimano RS685 hydraulics. These are Ultegra-level, matching most of the rest of the spec.

Trek Domane 6.5.jpg

The £3,900 Domane 6.5 (above) has a full Shimano Dura-Ace group along with a lightweight Bontrager Paradigm Elite TLR wheelset, while the 6.9 Disc (below, £6000) gets Shimano’s Dura-Ace Di2 electronic shifting, RS785 hydraulic brakes, and Bontrager Affinity Elite wheels.

Trek Domane 6.9 Disc.jpg

The rim brake version of the 6.9 (below, £7,200) gets that same Di2 shifting, the higher price being down to Bontrager’s aero Aeolus 3 D3 wheels that we’re reviewed here on road.cc . They’re fast and they handle well whatever the conditions.

Trek Domane 6.9.jpg

You can choose your own spec and finish for both the Domane 4 Series and 6 Series through Trek’s Project One scheme.

The 1 Series contains Trek’s entry-level road bikes. They’re made from Trek’s 100 Series aluminium (the Emonda ALRs are 300 Series) and they have eyelets for fitting mudguards and a rear rack. That’ll come in handy if you intend to commute by bike year-round.

Trek 1.1.jpg

Like the Emonda ALRs and many other Emonda and Madone models, the 1 Series bikes are built to Trek’s H2 geometry. This is a setup that’s designed for efficiency and speed, but it’s not quite as low and stretched as Trek’s H1 fit.

There are just two models in the range. The £575 1.1 (above) gets an 8-speed Shimano Claris groupset while the £650 1.2 (below) is built up with 9-speed Shimano Sora.

Trek 1.2.jpg

The Silque is a women’s carbon-fibre bike that, like the Domane and now the Madone, has an IsoSpeed decoupler to add comfort and control. 

Trek doesn’t just change the colour and a few components when putting a women’s bike together, the frame geometry is altered too.

Trek Silque.jpg

There are six different Silque bikes in the lineup ranging from the £1,500 Shimano Tiagra-equipped Silque (above) right up to the £3,800 Silque SSL (below) with Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic shifting.

Trek Silque SSL.jpg

We think that the Silque SL (£2,200, below) looks like a great bike that’ll prove popular. With a full Shimano Ultegra drivetrain, Bontrager Race tubeless ready wheelset, and women’s specific Bontrager Anja Comp WSD saddle, you’re getting a lot for your money here.

Trek Silque SL.jpg

The Silque SL and SSL are available through Trek’s Project One service from £2,700 and £3,970 respectively. 

The Lexa is Trek’s aluminium road bike range that’s built to a WSD (women’s specific design) geometry.

Trek Lexa SLX.jpg

Three of the four bikes in the range are based around frames made from 100 Series Alpha Aluminium, the same as the 1 Series bikes (above), while the fourth, the £1,000 Lexa SLX (above), uses slightly higher level 200 Series. All the bikes are mudguard and rack compatible.

Trek Lexa.jpg

The cheapest bike in the range is the straight Lexa (above) at £575 but the one that takes our eye is the £650 Lexa S (below). This one has a 9-speed Shimano Sora groupset and tubeless ready tyres from Bontrager.

Trek Lexa S.jpg

Isn't there a Domane 4.3 with disc brakes as well? Hope so, I was going to buy one.

you can get a 2016 Giant Defy 1 disc for £999 with TRP Spyre mech discs and 105 groupset, aluminium alloy frame and carbon fibre leg/ alloy steerer fork. Not a bad deal...

So entry level for Trek with *Sora* & HyRd discs is £1,400 - TBH they could have gone for Spyres and added Tiagra under-bar shifting.

Disappointing that one of the world's largest can't bring a disc bike in closer to a grand - When Merida have the amazing Ride 5000 Disc 2016 with 105/Ultegra & full Hydro for only £550 more. Yes, I say 'only' as the RRP jumps for Sora-> 105/Ultegra & HyRd-RS785 must be close to a grand RRP.

Merida are a pretty monstrously large operation - their wholesale buying power from Shimano, etc. must be almost unparalleled. I'm not that surpried they can offer these specs at that price. Around where I live in NZ, there are an awful lot of people on high end Merida bikes with Di2 and so on who wouldn't have spent what an "equivalent" Specialized (made in the same factory) would have cost. Merida's largest failing in many ways appears to be their rather slack approach to marketing.

The New 2016 Trek 920, 720, 520 and Crossrip Touring Bikes

' src=

Table of Contents

The 2016 trek 920 adventure touring bike, the trek 720 light touring bike, the trek crossrip light touring bike, the trek 520 long distance touring bike, want to compare these touring bikes with dozens of others, helpful resources, touring & bikepacking bike overview.

Trek have recently been busy building one of the most comprehensive adventure and touring bike line ups around. There are now SEVEN  different bikes, including the 2016 Trek 920, which are suited to everything from road touring right through to adventure off-road. I’ve put this resource together to guide you through the different models and help determine what might best suit you.

2016 Trek 920 Disc

The 2016 Trek 920 is a tweaked mountain bike with a drop handlebar. It’s designed around wide, knobby mountain bike tyres which can take you to more places than slicks. It uses a mountain bike drivetrain and wheels, in combination with drop handlebars and bar-end shifters.

Although the 2016 Trek 920 is best suited to off-road riding, a swap-out to slick tyres would make it an exceptional long-distance touring bike. The geometry is actually prime for heavy-loaded touring with it’s high ‘fork trail’, long chainstay/wheelbase and tall front end. That said, the gearing is optimised around lower speeds, so the 42t front chainring may have you spinning a bit on road descents.

The bike price including front and rear racks is US $1989 .

The 720 is one of Trek’s lightweight touring options. It uses an alloy frame and carbon fibre fork to keep the weight down (11kg or so), making it a great multi-purpose bike like the Cannondale Touring. It comes with Shimano 105 11-spd gearing, TRP Hydro/Cable disc brakes and some front side-mount racks and dry bags.

The 720 is best suited to smooth roads with a lightweight load, although it’s a really sturdy bike and will handle front and rear panniers if you needed. It’s smallest gear is 29 gear inches, which is a little large for really steep hills including a load, but will be fine for most touring. There are eyelets for racks and fenders.

The price is US $1889 including the front dry bags.

The CrossRip is almost identical to the 720 in every way – it even uses the same aluminium frame tubing and carbon fibre fork. The geometry is ever so slightly different between the bikes; you’d be pretty hard pressed to notice the subtle differences. The most noticeable difference may be the 5mm taller and longer front end of the CrossRip. The likely reason for Trek having these two near-identical bikes is so they can market the bikes in two separate bike categories (fitness and touring).

Like the 720, CrossRips are most at home on a smooth road with a light load but will handle four panniers well. The bikes use either compact or road triple cranksets, working with wide-range cassettes to achieve a lowish drive gear (close to 1:1 / 29 gear inches). The bikes have eyelets for racks and fenders.

The CrossRip is available in three different builds. The LTD comes with Shimano 105 11-spd gearing and TRP Hydro/Cable disc brakes and is priced at US $1679 . Next up, the Elite uses Shimano Sora 9-spd gearing and cable disc brakes and is US $1199 . For a bit less money again, you can get the Comp with Shimano Claris 8-spd gearing at US $1099 . If you’re tossing up between the CrossRip LTD and 720, go the CrossRip as it has a US $200 price advantage!

The 520 has been in the Trek line-up for 33 years! It’s actually the longest running model in Trek’s bike range. As you can imagine, the geometry of the 520 has been refined a lot over this period. The bottom bracket is low, the chainstays are long and the steering pretty slow. All good things for touring.

The 520 uses 4130 steel for both the frame and fork. The spec is super simple, solid and reliable with 36 spoke wheels, cable brakes and bar-end shifters. The gear range is exceptional, spanning from 22 to 118 gear inches. This should be enough to climb almost anything with all four panniers, but if you wanted even more low gears you could switch the cassette to a 34t (21 gear inches).

The price is US $1259 with v-brakes and US $1359 with disc brakes. My pick would be the disc model!

Check out the  Touring Bicycle Buyer’s Guide  which compares touring bike steering, sizing, gear ratios, specification, pricing and more. The Bikepacking Bike Buyer’s Guide does the same thing, however, with a focus on lighter bikes and models with more off-road capability. Both of these guides are updated annually with the latest models at no extra cost!

Hi Alee. I just got the 920 on Friday and took it riding on the weekend!

It had about 15 kgs on it, about 75% rear loaded (until the front panniers arrive; also to give the rear wheel a bit of settling in before I head on a bigger trip). At first I thought it was not handling too good with the weight, but then I got the rear panniers forward and the weight properly L/R balanced …amazing difference 🙂 I’m new to this.

I did about 60 kms on tarmac undulating country roads around Tatong and then I’m not sure maybe about 60kms without much load (~7kg on rear) on state park clay road, gravel track, and variously more difficult track. I had lots of fun finding the boundaries (mainly mine), not being used to that type of bike or tyres. It felt well behaved and definitely good for a bit of fun with my limited off road experience. As I practiced picking lines and committing, ignoring obstacles etc, my confidence in what the bike was doing was rewarded.

I was running Schwalbe Marathons, as recommended elsewhere in your blog (pumped hard on the tarmac, soft off). The hums along the tarmac and tracks straight.

Really happy with the choice…found some things for me to learn about riding with weight and off sealed roads, got my body worn out in the sun, dust and hills, had heaps if fun. Successful foray into trekking with panniers 🙂

Sounds like you’ve made a great choice!

Hey Alee Given the 720 is cheaper than the crossrip at my local dealer? Which one would be the better option? I’ve more or less settled on the 720 since it to me looks lighter and with better specs. 🙂

They really are almost identical in spec and geometry. Go with the 720 if you like that better!

I had the Trek 728 back in 1982 and it was perfect. Unfortunately, I sold it in 1986. I am getting ready for a TransAmerican Bike Trail 4,000 mile trip. Which TREK is the right one for this kind of trip with four panniers all around? The 520? What year?

Trek + Patagonia spring catalogues

This Sunday morning, I found myself sitting on the couch not just flipping through, but actually reading a number of catalogues. That’s right reading them.

Call me crazy, but I’ve been very impressed of late by how some active lifestyle brands have upped their catalogue game. Patagonia  are pros at this — their sports and adventure photography has always been amazing (so good, they even made a book with 30 years worth of stunning images shot for their catalogue), and they always do a great job of highlighting some inevitably beautiful place in the world that is in threat of going extinct by some terrible thing we are doing to the environment, or telling the brave and brazen stories of real-life adventure seekers.

I recently was bowled over by the brand new Trek catalogue after spotting it at the register of my LBS  (the always excellent and friendly Elevation Cycles ). Immediately I was drawn to the beautiful cover depicting two people partaking in a breakfast feast (inevitably after an early morning bike ride), and as I skimmed through the pages I was even more impressed with the wonderful photography and stories inside.  I sheepishly asked the guy behind the counter, “Can I take one of these?” and he nodded and said that the catalogue was one of the first of this new format. Honestly, when was the last time you asked to take a catalogue? It’s that good .

Inside the Spring 2016 issue are some pretty genius stories. My favorite is the story of a guy named Jason who bought a Trek bike in 2005 and loved it dearly, but ended up sidelining his biking activities as he got married and raised kids. Now in a period of his life where he can devote more time to the activity he loved so dearly, Trek did a before and after spread of how they took his old bike and upgraded it for 2016. I know Trek is trying to sell me on the idea of buying more stuff to make my bike better, but gosh darn it, they’ve done it in such a charming and interesting way I’m not at all offended.

There’s also an entire essay about great one-day races around the world, highlighting smaller springtime races in Italy, France, and Germany. Beautiful shots of the race and the crowd, along with handy little guides for each on what to eat, drink, and read while in the region made me want to look up plane tickets ASAP.

These portraits of Trek employees’ dogs are just the cutest!

If all catalogues were this interesting to read I’d never have to call up customer service asking to get off a mailing list. I think clothing and home furnishing stores could definitely learn a thing or two about getting people to look forward to receiving their catalogues instead of loathing it. For Patagonia and Trek, you’ve done amazing jobs and I’ll gladly ask you to keep ’em coming.

Are there any other catalogues you eagerly await the arrival of in your mailbox?

2016 Buyer's Guide: The Racy, Affordable Trek Émonda ALR 6

This everyday race bike is low weight, high value, and high fun

Trek Emonda ALR 6

Trek developed the Émonda ALR 6 to be an everyday race bike at a really affordable price. The company got this right. On fast group rides, the Émonda performed like a racer: precise, responsive, yet comfortingly predictable. It was a blast: I could kick up my power and speed, and ride the hell out of this bike. In that sense, it was indistinguishable from the full-carbon race models I’m more accustomed to. 

     RELATED: Trek Releases New Aluminum Émonda

The geometry on the Émonda ALR is the same as on the more expensive, full-carbon Émonda SLR. Trek claims compliance numbers between the aluminum and carbon versions of the Émonda are comparable, too. On the ALR, Trek uses its 300 Series Alpha aluminum—a higher-grade of the alloy than that used on the aluminum versions of the Madone and Domane, and tuned it by hydroforming the tubes to be size-specific, so that they provide the target balance of stiffness and weight at every frame size. The walls also have variable levels of thickness. Trek’s “Invisible Weld Technology” aims to minimize the amount of material used to construct the frame to reduce overall weight, and at 16.4 pounds for my size 54cm test bike, the Émonda ALR weighs less than many full-carbon bikes at a comparable price. Also notable: The Émonda ALR may have some the cleanest-looking welds of any aluminum road bike that has recently rolled through the Bicycling office.

      RELATED: Aluminum Is Back—And Better Than Ever

Trek did not skimp on parts for the $2,199 Émonda ALR 6: The Ultegra 6800 group, with a compact (50/34) crankset and 11-speed, 11-28 cassette performed superbly. The Émonda ALR 6 also comes ready to accept the new DuoTrap S sensor—an optional speed and cadence sensor that mounts directly into the left chainstay, and is now both Bluetooth and ANT+ compatible. For some weight savings and vibration damping, Trek equipped the Émonda with its Bontrager carbon seatpost, and a carbon fork mounted to a carbon steerer tube. The tubeless-ready Bontrager Race wheels are tough, and withstood gravel rides , cobbles, and potholed city streets. My only niggling objection with the Émonda ALR 6 was the compact drivetrain . Since I was treating it as a race bike, I found myself wanting bigger, more race-ready gears, especially on descents and flats. 

It took a few rides for this carbon devotee to get used to the Émonda ALR 6. But once I did, I was having a lot of fast fun riding this aluminum racer. For its relatively low weight, full Shimano Ultegra group, and raceablility that rivals carbon race models, this Trek is one of the best values I can recommend. 

What You Need to Know

  • Full Shimano Ultegra 6800 group
  • Duotrap S compatible
  • Same geometry as the more-expensive, full-carbon version
  • Great value
