Description
Trek have not held back when creating this Trek Silque SLX Womens Road Bike 2016. The quality of the carbon fibre frame has been stepped up to save even further weight. Additionally the use of carbon fibre has been extended to include the whole fork and asymmetric steerer, as well as the handlebar for more weight savings, better comfort and improved performance. Even more so than the rest of the range this Silque is ready for any riding from racing, commuting, training or triathlons.
The carbon fibre for this Silque SLX is of the super 600 Series OCLV variety. This is net moulded for supremely tight tolerances around their fantastic Women's Specific Design (WSD) geometry. Nothing fits the female form better than this geometry to deliver the best and most comfortable riding position for longer, faster and smoother cycling.
One technology that would sell this bike on its own is the IsoSpeed decoupler. Using this has enabled many of Trek's pro riders to conquer some of the roughest and most varied terrain as it doubles the frame's vertical compliance by allowing the seat tube to move independently of the rest of the frame.
Also incorporated is Trek's exclusive BB90 bottom bracket, the widest available to save weight, add stiffness and allow for quicker accelerations. A similar theory is applied to the E2 head tube which tapers from 1.5" lower to a 1-1/8" upper. This delivers all the lateral stiffness of a 1.5" for a powerful and confident ride, but saves weight.
Beautifully completed with Shimano's Ultegra 6800 eleven speed groupset to ensure light shifting as well as being superbly precise and reliable. For this model the Bontrager components adorning this bike have been stepped up as well. Most notably the handlebar is now the Bontrager Race X Lite IsoZone OCLV carbon fibre version that is proportioned specifically for women to further enhance comfort and confidence. As well as the proportions, the profile also contributes to a 20% reduction in vibrations so you will feel like you are floating over the roads.
The incredibly comfortable Bontrager Ajna Comp WSD saddle with Chromoly rails provides the perfect amount of cushioning and support for rides of any length and the Shimano Ultegra 6800 dual pivot brakeset ensures elite-level stopping power.
With all of these incredible features and specifications you are going to be travelling seriously fast. Thankfully, you can seamlessly keep track of just how fast as the frame is DuoTrap compatible so you can measure speed, distance and cadence with no aerodynamic drag by integrating the computer sensors into the frame.
Superbly a bike that is not lacking in any area to ensure you can accomplish all of your goals. Race, commute, train or complete a triathlon, this Trek Silque SLX has all the quality and equipment to allow you to push your boundaries by saving you effort.
