SRAM Force eTap AXS arrives on the Madone and Émonda
Trek have brought the new SRAM Force eTap AXS groupset to their range, starting with the latest "2020" editions of the Madone and Émonda.
SRAM's wireless electronic has been getting rave reviews and it's great to see it making an appearance on a broader range of bikes.
Smooth, reliable shifting with minimal gaps between gears; any fears that 12 speed was just a gimmick have soon been put to rest.
Here's a first look at the new models:
Trek Émonda SL 7 Disc eTap
The Émonda is a brilliant lightweight climber, and the SL 7 Disc eTap brings together all the advantages of an ultralight carbon road bike, plus hydraulic brakes for all-weather stopping power, carbon wheels and a fully wireless electronic drivetrain.
There's a precision and ease to electronic shifting that's particularly valuable on long days with plenty of climbing. No worries about adjustment, and minimum effort required to shift from any position on the bars.
Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3 carbon wheels keep things light and efficient, and Trek's H2 frame geometry makes for a true performance bike that is very flexible in terms of fit.
£4500
Trek Madone SLR 7 Disc eTap
The Madone is an aero road speed machine, and the SLR 7 is built with Trek's top of the range OCLV Carbon frame. With internally routed brake cables this is already an extremely sleek bike, and the wireless Force eTap AXS drivetrain further reduces clutter and maximises aero benefits.
The 12 speed groupset means that most gears have just a one tooth gap, making for supremely smooth shifting and helping you to maintain the perfect cadence for maximum efficiency.
The Bontrager Aeolus Pro 5 carbon wheelset has a 50mm depth, making them the perfect all-rounder for fast road riding.
£7100
