Trek Emonda SLR 9 Womens Road Bike 2016

There is not a cyclist out there who cannot appreciate the benefits of a bike that is simultaneously ultra lightweight and still performs exceptionally. So women will be delighted with the top end Trek Emonda SLR 9 Womens Road Bike 2016.

The name Emonda comes from the French word 'émonder', which means to prune or to strip away. This is exactly what Trek have done by eliminating everything that was unnecessary. The bike was developed with help from the Trek Factory Race Team, to produce a rider tuned and balanced bike, resulting in the ultimate ride experience.

A big factor in this is Trek's OCLV 700 series carbon. This offers an exceptional stiffness to weight ratio, through OCLV net moulding. This process allows for Trek to create tight- tolerance, precise shapes. This ensures the frame offers the best ride quality an performance. The technology has been used on the integrated, cupless BB90 bottom bracket and cupless net moulded head-tube.

The rider tuned seat-pin uses the lightest and most comfortable daily performance. Using a no-cut design the traditional seatpost clamping forces are eliminated, meaning less material is used at the seat cable junction. This again adds to the frame's featherweight credentials.

Electronic drive train integration allows for seamless internal routing with proprietary seat tube and bottom bracket battery mounts.

A more powerful and confident ride has been created by using the E2 head tube system which tapers from a 1.5" lower bearing to a 1-1/8" upper bearing and is wider from side to side than it is from front to back. Being asymmetric it minimises weight and maximises power transfer keeping the fork stiffer under cornering loads.

The Trek exclusive BB90 is the widest available on a road bike and makes the frame lighter, stiffer and accelerate better.

Integrated Duo Trap S compatibility allows speed and cadence data to be sent seamlessly via bluetooth or Ant technology to your smartphone, bike computer or other compatible device.

A 3S chain keeper keeps gear shifting seamless under heavy loads and rough surfaces. The chances of being stuck at the side of the road with a slipped chain is reduced significantly.

Women's specific design (WSD) creates a bike specifically for a woman’s needs. The H2 fit is a geometry that suits most riders. With a good balance between an all out racing position and a more relaxed one. This makes the bike ideal for racing but also more than capable of racking up long miles on.

It is not just the frame that was targeted for weight saving. The inclusion of Shimano's masterful Dura Ace 9070 Di2 eleven speed groupset is the only choice that would compliment such an exceptional frame. Smooth, reliable and precise, with a compact chainset making climbing and spinning along a breeze.

Bontrager have always had a close working relationship with Trek. The American company have adorned the bike in high quality, womens specific parts. With a Bontrager Race X Lite Stem and shallow drop handlebar with isozone for added comfort. Bontrager's Ajna Pro WSD specifically supports the female form, with the carbon fibre rails saving more weight whilst simultaneously reducing vibrations from the road.

Finished off with Bontrager Aeolus 3 D3 Tubeless Ready wheels and Bontrager R4 Hard-Case Lite tyres. This is a ground breakingly fast, lightweight and durable setup, offering exceptional comfort and performance.
