Trek model year 2015 road bikes: Emonda, Madone & Domane – first look.
RoadcyclingUK has thoroughly broken down the comparison of the 2015 Emonda, Madone, and Domane. In summation, Trek has created three lines of road bikes in the 2015 year each offering points of differentiation. For cyclists who are most concerned about weight of the bicycle, Trek has introduced the ultra lightweight Emonda. The Emonda SLR10 weighs in at just over 10 lbs. If an aerodynamic race bike is what a rider is after, the Madone series is going to be best suited for their needs. In addition, the Trek Domane dominates Trek’s endurance road line, designed for comfort over long distance rides.
This is not to say that weight has been neglected in the Madone series for example, yet it as not been the main focus in engineering such as it has with the Emonda where the SLR 10 even needs to have weight added to it to meet UCI Race Standards. The article above explains this in depth, a very thorough breakdown. Either way, Trek continues to offer multiple bikes for rider’s various needs as opposed to simply following industry trends which seems so common in the industry today.
