New Trek bike spotted: Is this the 2024 Emonda?

Leaked photo shows new lightweight bike with a hole in the seat tube

A New red Trek bike being ridden by Giulio Ciccone

If we were asked to write a list of new bikes we expect to see launched in 2024, a new Trek Emonda would almost certainly have featured. It's now four calendar years since the bike last saw an update so going by Trek's product cycle, it's fast approaching its due date for a refresh. 

Luckily for Emonda fans, it appears that imaginary prediction would be correct, because before we'd even entered the new year, we were given a pretty significant clue suggesting not only that a new version is coming, but what it might look like when it does. 

Thanks to the WeightWeenies forum , more specifically its member 'Ritxis', we have a photo of Giulio Ciccone aboard what can only be described as a slimmed-down Madone, complete with that hole in the seat tube . 

Now, a caveat: Of course, we don't know for sure that this bike is indeed an Emonda, or ironically even a Trek for that matter. The bike shown is entirely blank, devoid of any branding or model names (besides an illegible white mark on the top tube), as is often the case with prototypes. 

With that said, various clues in the image steer us toward our conclusions with a degree of confidence. 

Among them is the fact that it's being ridden by Giulio Ciccone, a rider whose Lidl-Trek team is sponsored by Trek Bikes, and has been for over a decade. Second: the bike is shod with Bontrager wheels, a component subsidiary borne out of the Trek brand. Third, and perhaps most strongly, is that the design of the frame is also very Trek-like. The cut-out in the seat tube, handily circled by our forumite, is extremely similar to the IsoFlow seat tube hole which made headlines / gained notoriety (delete as appropriate) when the Madone launched in summer of 2022. 

In fact, at first glance you'd be forgiven for thinking that this was indeed just a Madone, but although we only have one photo, when you look more closely it appears the tubes of the frame are rounder and slimmer than the Madone, all but confirming that this is not that. Given the timing and the use case, it's also unlikely to be a Domane, which leads us to believe that this is indeed a new Emonda. 

Of course, we can't rule out Trek adding another road bike to its range, although it does seem unlikely. With Emonda, Domane and Madone all existing as anagrams of one another, there can't be many options left… Perhaps it could channel the supernatural with the Daemon? More seriously, given the ever-closening convergence of aero bikes and lightweight bikes, with aero bikes getting lighter and lightweight bikes getting faster, Trek's commitment to the Madone and the Emonda as separate platforms would leave little room for a third in between. 

Of the two platforms, it makes sense that the Lidl-Trek team would have a new Emonda that is faster, ideally maintaining its ability to hit the 6.8kg UCI limit, alongside the existing Madone which is heavier but faster still. 

So what can we deduce? Well based on this image, not a huge amount aside from the existence of what appears to be another IsoFlow seat tube hole. The seat- and chain-stays look to be slim, but not much slimmer than the existing Emonda. The head tube looks to have a small cut-out for the top cover of the headset, helping it to sit flush with the top of the top tube, and it appears the front cable enters in front of the steerer, as it currently does on the existing Emonda. 

Notably, the bike shown is using a two-piece bar and stem rather than an integrated one-piece system, but that could purely be down to component availability or the slightly easier nature of setup, something which may benefit Ciccone as he dials in the fit of his new bike.

In addition, it looks as though it may be equipped with a seatpost rather than a seatmast topper, as well as SRAM's UDH, albeit both are impossible to confirm from this solitary image. 

As for a launch date, your guess is as good as ours at this stage. Trek has history of 'leaking' bikes into the public eye at the Criterium du Dauphine before a full launch in line with the Tour de France. That's how things played out with the Madone in 2022, so we'd hazard a guess at Trek taking a similar approach, but only time will tell.

Is this the new 2024 Trek Emonda?

It certainly could be – or maybe even an updated Madone.

Ronan Mc Laughlin

December training camps usually offer a flurry of new tech sightings and rumours. Despite some groupset too’ing and fro’ing , this year has been a rather quiet affair. But as it seemed rumours of a new SRAM Red groupset would be as good as December 2023 would get, Weight Weenies forum member Ritxis popped up to make our Christmas with what appears to be a new Trek Emonda – or maybe even a different Madone variant.

The bike is clearly still very much undercover with only Giulio Ciccone, his Lidl-Trek kit, and oh yeah, that Madone-esque seat tube cutout to confirm the frame is even a Trek.

So what is it then?

The safe money is probably on this being a new Emonda. The current Emonda is going on four years old now, having been first released in 2020. That 2020 Emonda was Trek’s take on the do-it-all “Aero-lite” bike, taking the lightweight Emonda platform of old and throwing some aero at it in the shape of fully integrated brake hosing and truncated tubes throughout. The bike has countless fans and has proved enormously successful at the women’s and men’s World Tour level, but as product cycles go, the timing is in line for an Emonda update.

From what we can see in the single photo emerging from Weight Weenies (long live Weight Weenies) is clearly a bike with a Madone-like profile, but it’s almost certainly not a Madone. It’s almost impossible to be certain in any predictions given the flat red colour, awkward angle, and poor lighting, but it seems the new bike features a more rounded down tube than the Madone, and with a more truncated profile than the current Emonda. The top tube also appears to have a flatter cross-section, and with a slightly straighter path from end to end. The bike seemingly retains a similar-looking head tube and smooth transition onto the top tube, but at the rear end is what appears to be a SRAM UDH (Universal Rear Derailleur) hanger – presumably in preparation for what we’ve anticipated is the launch of the new SRAM Red groupset next season.

One thing that is definitely new to Trek’s all-rounder offering is the addition of its IsoFlow seat tube hole first introduced in the latest generation Madone . Trek claims IsoFlow delivers somewhat of a holy trinity of bicycle performance, i.e. improving aerodynamics, compliance, and reducing weight. Apparently, Trek now hopes IsoFlow can bring the same claimed benefits across to the Emonda platform.

But its inclusion on this frame does raise questions as to whether this is a new Emonda. In fact, if the current Madone wasn’t still so relatively new, the IsoFlow’s inclusion here would probably have us speculating Trek has ditched the dedicated aero bike design brief and made the Madone a lighter all-rounder style offering.

Despite that timing a new Madone might actually make sense. As every other major brand consolidates its performance road offerings into a single all rounder platform, Trek is one of the few remaining big brands to offer a dedicated aero and climbing bike. It seems likely, given the benefit to the manufacturers of reduced costs, stock, and SKUs that Trek might want to switch to a single bike for every occasion at some point. If Trek were to make that move, it seems the Madone moniker is the most likely to live on. After all, it’s not only the longest standing in Trek’s premium carbon road range, but it’s also the root of the Emonda and Domane names (as they’re anagrams of Madone).

So is this the new Madone?

Only time will tell which new Trek this actually is, but it sure seems likely the Lidl-Trek riders will be on a new bike at some point this year. When exactly that will happen is difficult to predict, but it seems almost certain a new frame would come before the Tours de France, possibly even for the classics, although Trek has typically reserved Classics launches for its Domane range.

Nine road bikes we're excited to see redesigned in 2024

Launch season is beginning to wind down, but we know there will be new and exciting models released next summer

  • Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

specialized tarmac sl8vdescending

The summer months are typically rife with new bike launches . Now, as the peak season winds down, it appears that the latest crop of fastest, lightest, stiffest and -  often confusingly - most compliant machines have already been unveiled. 

That gets us thinking: what can we expect from the launch calendar that's yet to be? Which bikes will receive a makeover in 2024?

We've got our crystal ball out, and pulled together a list of models we think could do with an update next year - plus, I've added a few I'd personally just love to see come out with a new incarnation. 

Without further ado, here are nine bikes we'd like to see re-launched next year... 

Cannondale Lab 71 SystemSix

We'll start with what feels like a bit of a no-brainer - in fact, we really expected this one to land this year.

In March, we saw the launch of the new Cannondale SuperSix , the brand’s do-it-all all road race bike. At the time it also launched the Lab71 moniker which stands to be Cannondale's branding for range-topping bikes, utilising a higher grade of carbon fibre.

After the SuperSix was launched, Cannondale also released a gravel going Lab71 Topstone . Clearly, it’s fairly easy to put the new carbon fibre into pre-existing moulds, so a Lab71 SystemSix should be on the cards.

However, the SystemSix in its current guise is a bike that’s been around since 2018. Since updated UCI rules which allow for more creativity when it comes to tube profiles mean that Cannondale could potentially have something really whacky in the works. Perhaps, the brand will lean into the elongated head tube like Specialised SL8 .

It’s not out of the question that the brand could just let the SystemSix fade away and halt production of the model. The lack of an aerobike could then be countered, by making the next generation of the SuperSix even more aero, as per Specialized's approach with the Tarmac, whereby we see aero features at the front and lightweight features at the rear. 

Cannondale Caad 14

We're pretty confident that we can expect an update to the Caad13 , and logic dictates it be called the Caad14. 

This is a bike we're really excited about. A high-end aluminium frame has a lot going for it, and with the right specification, they can be just as light as their carbon counterparts but for a fraction of the cost.

In reinventing the Caad14, we hope to see Canonnondale take a leaf out of Trek's book: in its most recent Emonda ALR launch, it opted for more aggressive geometry and stripped out a lot of weight from the frame by refining the tube shapes.

Trek also maintained a classic looking frame shape with no dropped seat stays, something we'd like to see in a potential Caad14. And, working on making the frame a lot lighter, ideally around the 1000 gram mark, would be a good move.

My personal hope for a potential Caad14 is that the brand also releases a Lab71 version. It would have the Lab71 paint job, the Momo Design bars with the top end RSL wheels, the same fork as found on the Lab71 SuperSix, a Dura-Ace groupset and a Cramicspeed bottom bracket.

Would it be overkill? Absolutely. Would it make much sense? Not really. But would I absolutely want it and be prepared to pay for it? 100%. 

Quite recently Giant updated its endurance bike, the Defy . It made the bike a whole lot lighter, made it slightly more performance-orientated, and supposedly made it more comfortable. What struck us most was the former: the big reduction in weight. 

This drop in kilos demonstrated what Giant is capable of when it sets its sights on making something light. To bring a Defy frame weight in at a claimed 785 grams really shows how light a new version of the climbing focused TCR could be. It's highly likely that a potential new TCR could come in at the low 600-gram region.

The weight savings could also go further than just the frame, with the brand's own components and Cadex wheels, it has the ability to strip weight out of every part of the bike and full builds could land in the region of the low to mid 6-kilo range. The current top-end TCR is coming in at a claimed 6.7kilos, so seeing this drop by a few hundred grams is certainly a possibility.

One question looms though, that being, would it really make any difference? Probably not, having a reliable and versatile bike is certainly more valuable. But, if Giant were able to combine all these attributes, then that would be a pretty exciting proposition.

Trek Emonda

After Trek launched the new Madone back in 2022, it’s safe to say it turned a few heads with its 'Isoflow hole' in the seat tube. Time has passed, and most riders are pretty well accustomed to the look of it, now.

Isoflow to one side, the Madone itself is also a wicked bike to ride - which is one of the reasons we're getting excited about a potential new Emonda.

As the Emonda sits in Trek's range as a do-it-all/climbing race bike, we don’t think it would be out of the question to see an Emonda also get an IsoFlow hole. It would aid the bike's aero performance, and since Trek claim it also helps save weight, then that ethos also matches the Emonda. 

Naturally, as the Emonda is not a full aero bike, it would be lighter, and would perhaps try and get close to the Tarmac SL8 in weight. Since the Madone does require a decent level of flexibility and skill to deal with the fast steering feel, a slightly softer version in the form of an Emonda could be the perfect road race bike for a much larger segment of the market.

Pinarello Dogma F

Pinarello has been mighty active in the past year with the launch of two brand new ranges of bikes: that being the X series and F series which replaced the Price and Paris respectively. We also saw the new Dogma X, which now sits at the top of the X series range.

However, the brand's flagship, range-topping Dogma F was last updated in 2021, so perhaps, we could have a 2025 bike launched late next year. 

Being the winningest bike over the last 15 Tours de France , and Pinarello sticking to its guns that it 'doesn't make a bike for each occassion', we're not sure what the brand would aim to do with the bike, it would likely be a very iterative update rather than something drastically new. So, we'd expect to see updates along the lines of the bike being slightly lighter, stiffer and more aero - as per usual.

Cervélo Caledonia

Launched back in 2020 was the Cervélo Caledonia , the brand's road going endurance/all-road bike - a popular category in the past few months since Canyon’s Endurace and Specialized's Roubaix have also taken to the same space. Cervélo has the opportunity to bring an updated version of the bike that really rivals those of the market leaders.

We gave the bike 4.5 stars when we reviewed it - our only quarm being tied up in the price compared to competitors, so, if Cervélo can come in alongside the other options on the market, it could land as a great option for customers.

It seems likely that the brand would increase tire clearance from the current 34mm and perhaps build in a greater amount of in-frame storage, but in terms of rideability and current geometry, we’re already big fans of what it’s created.

Cervélo R5

Sticking with Cervélo, the R5 is also potentially coming to the end of its product cycle. The R5 does sit alongside the S5, so you either have your climbing bike or your aero bike - and the brand has previously said it doesn’t want to dilute either of them.

The R5 is already pretty light as the frame comes in at a claimed 700 grams which is very good, so perhaps if it were to be updated, we may see a marginal improvement in weight. However, refining the frame shape to potentially become a little more aerodynamic without stepping on the S5’s toes could net a greater improvement while also making it a bit stiffer.

Again, we think this would be an iterative update, but still an exciting one.

Scott Addict

Last on our list is the Scott Addict. Scott launched the aero-focused Foil less than 18 months ago and so it’s clear that it has no intention of creating a 'do-it-all' road bike which means we could be in for yet another stripped-back specialist climbing bike.

We've always thought the Addict looked great and previous generations of the bike have been a pleasure to ride too , so if the current model were to be replaced with something even lighter and stiffer than before then it seems likely that that’s only a recipe for success.

Trek Émonda ALR 5 2023

At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The overall score is not just an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product compares with items of similar spec, quality, and price.

Good scores are more common than bad, because fortunately good products are more common than bad.

  • Not so good

The Trek Emonda ALR 5 uses the latest aluminium alloy Emonda frameset, with aero tweaks and a geometry that matches other high-end performance bikes in Trek’s line-up. It showcases the fact that this material still has a place on the racing scene, offering up the sort of stiffness and ride comfort found with carbon, although this build is far from light.

I'm a big fan of aluminium frames. When done well, using the right tubing and wall thicknesses, and with well-thought-out geometry, it can result in a bike with excellent ride feel and great levels of feedback – everything a fast rider or racer wants. Trek has done an excellent job with this new Emonda ALR, which ticks all those boxes.

Even with the 25mm tyres pumped up firm, the aluminum tubing shows no signs of harshness, with an almost steel-like ride feel to it; there is a certain smoothness to it.

2023 Trek Émonda ALR5 - riding 4.jpg

The frame is still incredibly stiff. Hard efforts out of the saddle don't show any signs of flex around the bottom bracket area, or anywhere else you might not want it. On the whole, it feels responsive and eager to get a shift on when you ask it to.

The only real fly in the ointment is the slightly lacklustre wheelset and the weighty tyres fitted as standard. Both take the overall shine off the performance, and contribute to the all-up bike weight of 9.1kg on our scales, so it's not exactly nippy off the line compared with bikes a kilo lighter.

2023 Trek Émonda ALR5 - riding 3.jpg

Swapping the Bontrager tyres out for some Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport Rs that were in for review dropped 320g from the overall weight, and helped to show just what this bike is capable of. Not just in terms of weight, either, but also better rolling resistance and grip.

The better grip lets you get the best out of the geometry, which is designed to be on the racy side without being overly aggressive. It's a nice balance.

On fast descents you can fling it into the corners and it'll hold its line without feeling twitchy or nervous. In fact, it feels pretty planted, but not at the cost of responsiveness or nimbleness thanks to the sub-metre wheelbase.

It's a confidence-boosting bike, easy to ride even if you aren't giving things your full attention. You don't have to be 'on it' the whole time to ride the Emonda quickly; it'll just as easily let you cover big miles without issue.

2023 Trek Émonda ALR5 - riding 2.jpg

Though the ALR has kammtail tube sections, and Trek makes some aero claims, I wouldn't say it feels exceptionally quick in a straight line; it doesn't have the sort of wind-cheating properties of properly aero carbon bikes.

That said, thanks to the riding position that's achievable given the reasonably low stack height, you can certainly get a shift on if you are trying to get out of the wind. It's certainly a bike you can race on, or just ride quickly without any competition involved.

Frame and fork

Trek uses its own range of aluminium grade tubing, which in the ALR 5's case is "ultralight 300 Series Alpha". And thanks to the hydroformed shapes, and what Trek calls invisible weld technology, it looks very much as smooth and shapely as many carbon frames on the market, especially around the head tube area.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - top tube decal 2.jpg

That smoothness is enhanced by the integrated cable routing, directed in through the head tube and headset before passing into the frame and exiting just below the bottom bracket.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - head tube.jpg

The welding only has a smooth appearance around the front area and the top of the seat tube, though; move further down where there are bigger loads being applied, such as at the bottom bracket, and the welds are much more pronounced.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - UCI sticker.jpg

The rear of the frame actually has quite a traditional look about it, with mainly round tubes and seatstays that aren't overly narrow or heavily profiled, like you might find manufactured from carbon.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - seat stays.jpg

You won't find any integrated seatclamps either, with the Emonda getting a round post and a clamp that sits externally.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - seat tube junction.jpg

As for finishing touches, it's just bolts for two bottle cage mounts and nothing else. This is a performance race bike after all.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - seat tube bosses.jpg

Tyre clearance is quite limited for a modern road bike at just 28mm. That's not a huge problem for me – 28mm is the maximum I use for this kind of bike – but with many of the opposition being able to take 30mm or even 32mm now, it's a little bit on the back foot.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - fork clearance.jpg

The carbon fork, an Emonda SL, blends smoothly into the frame and provides all the stiffness required for hard cornering without suffering from any kind of understeer at all.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - fork.jpg

For the bottom bracket Trek has specced a T47, a switch it made a little while back. In a nutshell, it uses the larger dimensions of a press-fit system, but the bearings are threaded into the frame rather than being pressed. This provides the stiffness and performance benefits of a press-fit system without the creaking issues that can result if dirt gets in between the cups and frame due to poor manufacturing tolerances.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - cable route.jpg

Geometry-wise, the Emonda ALR 5 uses Trek's H1.5 Race measurements, a balance of angles and dimensions that give the bike a performance edge without going too far into the twitchy, hard-to-handle realm of race bikes. It's the same as used on the higher-end carbon Emonda models.

Even though Shimano is 'charging' ahead with its electronic groupsets, and we've seen 105 Di2 become 12-speed, there is still a lot of life left in this mechanical setup. The shifting is great, with crisp and clean gear changes, and the shape of the levers lets your hands sit naturally and comfortably.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - lever.jpg

In terms of ratios, the ALR 5 comes with a 50/34-tooth compact chainset mated to an 11-30 cassette. That's a good spread of gears for all kinds of performance riding, with a 50x11 giving more top end than most people need, along with plenty of climbing gears at the lower end, providing you are reasonably strong and fit.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - cassette.jpg

The hydraulic braking performance is top notch too. With 160mm rotors front and rear, you can get it to pull up from high speed to zero with just two fingers whenever you want.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - rear disc brake.jpg

Finishing kit

Trek's in-house component and accessories brand, Bontrager, supplies all of the finishing kit found on the ALR.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - bars 2.jpg

The handlebar and stem are both standard alloy components with nothing flash when it comes to their design, but they do the job just fine.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - stem.jpg

The Comp VR-C bar has a 124mm drop, which is shallow enough that it can be used without the bend in your back needing to be too extreme. The overall width is matched to the frame size.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - dropbar and lever.jpg

The seatpost is alloy too, 6061 grade, and is 27.2mm in diameter. It comes with 8mm of offset and on this size bike it is 330mm in length.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - rear.jpg

The Verse Comp saddle is a little too plush for my liking; I prefer something with less padding for fast riding, but saddles are very much a personal choice. You might get on with it just fine.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - saddle.jpg

Wheels & tyres

As for the wheels, the Paradigm SLs are tubeless ready, and for a wheelset on a bike at this price point they aren't too bad in terms of weight at a claimed 1,800g.

Their shallow rim depth doesn't bring a huge amount of speed to the party, but they are stiff enough for spirited riding, and durability doesn't look to be an issue.

2023 Trek Emonda ALR5 - tyre and rim.jpg

As I've already mentioned, the tyres fitted aren't the best from a performance point of view. They are heavy at over 800g a pair, and with a limited thread count they have quite a 'dead' feeling to them.

Durability and reliability aren't an issue, so they are good training tyres, but they just hamper performance. An upgrade here will bring dividends to overall speed, with better rolling resistance and grip.

The ALR 5 is priced at £2,350, which is similar to Cannondale's highly regarded CAAD 13 : an aluminium road bike with a lot of pedigree. (Mat tested the CAAD13 Disc 105 in 2020.)

The latest model is similarly specced with a 105 groupset and alloy mid-depth rims, so it's no surprise to see a price virtually the same either: £2,300.

Specialized's alloy superbike, the Allez Sprint Comp , takes many cues from the carbon fibre Tarmac SL7 . Liam was impressed with it overall when he tested it last year , and Jamie has bought a frameset, which you can see in our YouTube video comparing it against the ALR 5 . It's much higher priced than the Trek, though, at £2,900, with a 105 groupset and DT Swiss wheels.

Merida has a range of aluminium Sculturas, with the 400 being the most expensive. It too comes with a 105 mechanical groupset and an alloy wheelset, but costs much less at £1,775.

The ride quality and geometry of the ALR 5 makes it a bike I'd highly recommend if you want to race but don't have a massive budget, or you just want a bike you can ride fast without getting beaten up, even on long rides. It's priced in line with key competition like the CAAD13 and is cheaper than the Allez Sprint Comp by quite a long way. Some might baulk at that price for an alloy bike, but there is no denying it has the characteristics to back it up.

The tyres hold it back a bit, but underneath is a comfortable alloy road bike with a great performance

Tell us what the bike is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about the bike?

Trek says, "The Émonda ALR 5 gives you the sleek looks of carbon without the sticker shock. Its advanced alloy frame is built to perform, and pairs with disc brakes and a reliable Shimano 105 drivetrain to give it the race-ready edge."

It's a smooth looking bike with an excellent ride quality, and plenty of stiffness.

Where does this model sit in the range? Tell us briefly about the cheaper options and the more expensive options

The range is topped with the ALR 6 at £3,150 and starts with the ALR 4 at £1,750. A frameset is available too, from £1,150.

Tell us about the build quality and finish of the frame and fork?

It's a high-quality aluminium frame that looks smooth, just like a carbon fibre offering, and the fork is stiff enough for hard riding.

Tell us about the materials used in the frame and fork?

The frame is made from Trek's 300 Series Alpha aluminium while the fork is full carbon fibre.

Tell us about the geometry of the frame and fork?

The geometry is on the racy side, but just backed off enough to not create a twitchy speed machine.

How was the bike in terms of height and reach? How did it compare to other bikes of the same stated size?

The height and reach figures are fairly typical for a race bike of this size.

Riding the bike

Was the bike comfortable to ride? Tell us how you felt about the ride quality.

Yes, the alloy frame has a great ride quality.

Did the bike feel stiff in the right places? Did any part of the bike feel too stiff or too flexible?

With the oversized bottom bracket shell, and stiff tubing where it needs to be, all is fine in this respect.

How did the bike transfer power? Did it feel efficient?

Power transfer is good throughout the frame and fork.

Was there any toe-clip overlap with the front wheel? If so was it a problem?

How would you describe the steering? Was it lively neutral or unresponsive? On the quick side.

Tell us some more about the handling. How did the bike feel overall? Did it do particular things well or badly?

It has fast handling, but not so much so that it becomes twitchy or difficult.

Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's comfort? would you recommend any changes?

I wasn't a huge fan of the amount of padding on the saddle, although it is a decent shape.

Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's stiffness? would you recommend any changes?

I found the wheels fine for out of the saddle efforts, and the same with the handlebar – I didn't detect any flex when really pulling on it.

Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's efficiency? would you recommend any changes?

A change of tyres would improve overall efficiency a lot, by dropping weight and improving grip.

The drivetrain

Tell us some more about the drivetrain. Anything you particularly did or didn't like? Any components which didn't work well together?

Mechanical Shimano 105 is still an excellent groupset, with awesome shifting performance and braking power.

Wheels and tyres

Tell us some more about the wheels.Did they work well in the conditions you encountered? Would you change the wheels? If so what for?

Decent enough wheels for the budget, and not too bad a weight overall.

Tell us some more about the tyres. Did they work well in the conditions you encountered? Would you change the tyres? If so what for?

Entry-level tyres from Bontrager; an upgrade would benefit the bike immensely.

Tell us some more about the controls. Any particularly good or bad components? How would the controls work for larger or smaller riders?

Personally, I'd change the saddle for something less padded, but on the whole, for the money it's a decent spec.

Your summary

Did you enjoy riding the bike? Yes

Would you consider buying the bike? Yes

Would you recommend the bike to a friend? Yes

How does the price compare to that of similar bikes in the market, including ones recently tested on road.cc?

The similarly specced Cannondale CAAD13 Disc comes in a few quid cheaper at £2,300, but Merida's aluminium Scultura range stops at £1,775 even though you get a 105 mechanical groupset and a spec similar to that of the Trek. Specialized's Allez Sprint is considerably more, though.

Use this box to explain your overall score

Thanks to the quality that can now be achieved by modern aluminium frames, this is a lovely bike to ride, with easily enough stiffness to match that of carbon machines in the real world. It is weighty, and it could do with a few component tweaks, but for the performance it delivers, for the money, it's very good.

Overall rating: 8 /10

>£2k for an aluminium frame?! In the same price bracket, actually cheaper, you can get a carbon frame for that money. Trek seems to be poor vfm really....

  • Log in or register to post comments

Or steel (if you want). Having become quite inured to these prices, I was slightly shocked recently to see you can get a well-regarded steel-framed 105-equipped ride for £1000 less than this Trek. Not exactly the same sort of bike but - hydraulic brakes apart - you have to wonder where the price difference comes from. www.cyclinguk.org/cycle-magazine/bike-test-cannondale-synapse-sora-and-s...

Coming back to cycling after a number of years off I was shocked at the cost of bikes and in the end plumped for a £500 Triban RC500 from Decathlon, which I'm sure a lot of folks will turn their noses up at, but it's a great bike and does everything I need. But now I'm looking at a better bike the vfm range is incredible. Have to say Ribbles range is looking very attractive.....

I tried one in Decathlon couple of weeks ago and thought it was a great bike especially for the price, now 600 quid I think.

Your starting point is that aluminium is necessarily inferior to carbon. I'm not sure that's always true.

While this seems expensive for a 105 11-speed bike, it's a Trek and they don't sell bikes cheaply. The ALR 4 with Tiagra is currently £1,575 (reduced from £1,750). That's quite a difference for one extra cog on the cassette. The frameset is £1,150. A Specialized Allez Sprint frameset is £1,800.

These brands spend a lot on marketing, sponsorship and R&D and that money has to come from somewhere. I wonder how the Trek ALR compares to a Giant Contend SL, Cannondale Synapse or Ribble Endurance AL.

If you compare it with the £4,500 Cervelo Soloist reviewed last week which has a low-spec wheelset, so you're looking at £800 or more on top to get something it deserves (no-one buying a Soloist will want those stock wheels). I'd suggest that is a far bigger rip-off.

There is talk of an oversupply of some models so there may be discounts if you shop around.

No mention of that colour scheme!

Trek Claims Their Next Release Will “Change Cycling Forever”

What's new from trek... dynema, graphene.

trek emonda 2024 release date

Earlier this week RBA editors noticed a targeted ad campaign on social media from Trek Bikes. The ad claims on March 19, Trek is releasing a new product that will “change cycling forever.”

trek emonda 2024 release date

With such a bold claim we had to do some digging. After scouring the internet and the RBA archives we found the Trek 5000 released in 1989. It was the company’s first molded, all carbon frame. If Trek’s claims are true, we’re expecting to see a revolutionary new frame material.

Trek released a video to build some hype, it does appear to be a new material, but no information was released alongside. Trek has a new page on their site, where you can sign up to get the info as soon as it’s released. Check it out at: www.trekbikes.com
