Trek Emonda S 5 Road Bike 2016

Trek have taken attention to detail to another level to make the Trek Emonda S 5 Road Bike 2016 lightweight but still with a perfectly balanced and ultra-responsive ride feel. This makes it yet another exceptional model in the ground breaking Emonda range of the lightest production bicycles ever offered.

Much of this quality is thanks to the 300 Series OCLV carbon fibre frame and carbon fork. This is shaped around Trek's H2 geometry that offers universal comfort and performance to professionals and amateurs alike. Combined with this, attention has been paid to the shape of every tube to ensure the best possible performance is delivered.

A clever way Trek have saved weight without compromising quality is with the E2 head tube and fork. This tapered head tube offers the lateral rigidity of a 1.5" system, so you can still throw it around and get the most out of your kick, but you are saving some precious weight.

Exhilarating ride quality also comes from the wide BB86.5 bottom bracket. With this width you get the required stiffness to be able to transfer all your efforts to speed. You can even record this speed as the frame is DuoTrap compatible. This means the sensors for speed, distance and cadence are all smoothly integrated into the frame to eliminate aerodynamic drag from untidily attached aftermarket sensors that often ruin the look of bikes. You can then connect this via Bluetooth and ANT+ to the majority of bicycle computers, including Garmin.

A fantastic, and highly worthwhile upgrade, for this model is the Shimano 105 5800 eleven speed groupset. The step up in quality of gear shifts is instantly noticeable, as is the improved smoothness you get from the extra gear by advancing to eleven speed.

As with all Trek's, the high quality finishing touches are provided by their sister company Bontrager. This includes the stem, handlebars, seatpost and wheels. A nice touch is the inclusion of the Bontrager Paradigm R saddle, specifically chosen to reduce weight whilst augmenting support and relieving pressure with its cut out. You can expect great things from a bike that is this light and rides so well, especially when it is this well equipped.
