A climb-friendly bike with aero styling
Snappy handling
Fast to respond through the pedals
Power meter included in a fine package
Faster tyres would enhance its ride further

With the Émonda SLR 9 eTap, Trek send a climbing specialist into our group test. The current model has been given some aerodynamic upgrades for which the Madone aero bike served as inspiration. Is it enough to take on the four fastest race bikes of the 2021 season? You can read more here.
Light-footed acceleration in every situation

Gearing offers sufficient reserves even for demanding climbs
Made for racing, where it blossoms fully
Braking traction of the Bontrager R4 320 tires
Somewhat nervous steering when riding slowly
Lacking efficiency on the flats
Rattling SRAM shift levers
