I'm 3 weeks in, several different types of rides, and I'm loving it! It just responds so well, handles great, and climbs fast. Great bike!

I do a lot of climbing and endurance rides with the Émonda SL 6. At 5' 10" I have the choice of two bike sizes and went for the smaller cockpit of the 54cm. Very glad I made that choice. The cut away and compact saddle design also fits well. The hydraulic discs are an absolute game changer for a person who's always ridden calipers. I will not go back. The 28mm off the shelf Bontrager rubber rolls nicely. The bike is spec'd to handle 30mm yet I have a wish for room for 32's but I don't think the fork affords clearance. I just took it out for a 50 miler with 5,000 ft of elevation and felt great. Look forward to my next adventure!

I finally got my 2021 Emonda SL6 Feb of 2021 to replace 2007 Madone 5.2 and really happy with it. It's smoother with its 28mm tires more stable and its Aeolus Comp seat is very comfortable. Shifting is smooth and positive. Love the color and graphics. Disc breaks are progressive but you may have to play with calipers to center them once break pads are seated. First thing I did was degrease break rotors to make sure there no oils on them and had no issues with noise. I ordered the new Aeolus RSL 37 carbon wheels to replace the alloy wheels to reduce weight and more aero. Check sizing it seems to run big, I'm 5'7" 150 lbs and got 52 and sizing said 54 and glad I went with the 52.

This is a sweet bike - love riding it.

I ride about 3 times a week, clocking an average of 80km per ride.

Recently cycled around 1/2 of Taiwan from the South to the North - a 720km trip (5800m elevation) over 10 days. Bike was great, light, easy to ride and responsive on the hills. I upgraded the base model to Shimano Dura Ace Di2 and added Fulcrum Carbon wheels. On a weekly basis I use the bike in the mountains around Taipei and on the bikepaths around the city. Really smooth ride. Overall a great bike.

I bought the Emonda SL6 after much research and am glad I did. I upgraded from a Verve1 and my performance has increased from 12 mph to above 15. The higher grade Ultegra components are all they said they are: smooth shifting and good stopping power with the hydraulic disc brakes. I feel I can go as far as I want to and remain very comfortable doing so.

I mostly use the bike for exercise and to push myself, but I also enjoy easy rides too.

I'd give 2.5 stars but website doesn't allow such rating. For starters the wheels it comes with are 1.85Kilograms (more than the trek website states) I have size 54 Frame and With my own upgrades on wheels (DTSWISS DICUT 1400 1.47kg), 40cm carbon handle bar and lighter (short) seat mast 5mm offset bike weighs 8.2 KG (with Ultegra pedals) I don't know how trek got 8.25kg for a bigger size bike with inferior and very heavy wheels. Despite being disc break, the frame design is not good for the winter/wet condition riding, road debris and little mud can easily build up where fork meets down tube which then makes a nice grinding paste for the paint. About the fit/frame sizing, Im 173cm (measured in mid day) so the websites size suggests size 54 but when factoring in the bikes components size 52 is the smarter decision, 20mm offset seatmast, 100mm reach handle bars (I like them though). With the size 52 I'd have more options for my fit. Besides all of the points I made above, the bike is great the ride and handles amazing in fast descents.

I Got my Emonda Sl 6, half a year ago, love it for climbing, buy a new wheelset aero and its the perfekt allrounder!!!!
