Disc models use 12mm thru axles front and rear, and flat-mount brake calipers. The Emonda ALR frame features internal cable routing through the front triangle, provisioning for the Bontrager DuoTrap S speed and cadence sensor in the non-drive chainstay, press-fit BB86.5 bottom bracket, 27.2mm seat post, and tapered headtube.
This appears to compare very well with the carbon Émonda SL frame (disc 1,149 grams, rim 1,091), however the Émonda SL frame weight includes part of the seat mast system. The disc frame weighs 1,131 grams, while the rim frame weighs 1,112 grams. The Émonda ALR frames are quite light also. For $419 dollars less than the most comparable carbon Émonda SL model, the ALR 5 comes out swinging with a race-ready package for someone looking for a quality ride without the intimidating price. The ALR frame looks an awful lot like carbon, rides great, and costs less. The real selling point of this bike is its performance-to-price ratio. The frame is shown in the Purple Flip colorway ( there's also a black option) and built with Shimano Ultegra mechanical shift/hydraulic brake groups, with high-end carbon Bontrager parts consisting of Aeolus XXX carbon wheels, XXX carbon seatpost, XXX carbon handlebar, and carbon-railed saddle.
The bike Bicycling received for testing was not a stock complete bike, but a flashy bike built up by Trek to celebrate the Émonda ALR's debut. Trek also sells the Emonda ALR frameset in both disc ($960) and rim ($960) versions. This bike features the same geometry as the unisex ALR 5 Disc (though the women's is offered in a 47cm and the unisex is not), but is equipped with a women's saddle, shorter stem, and narrower handlebar. Trek also offers the Émonda ALR 5 Disc in a women's version. All other components are identical, which makes the decision-making process simple: Save 210 or 230 bucks, or spend the extra money to upgrade to an 11-speed drivetrain. The ALR 4 ($1,680 disc, $1,360 rim) features a Shimano Tiagra 10-speed drivetrain, while the ALR 5 ($1,890 disc, $1,590 rim) comes with a Shimano 105 11-speed drivetrain. The Émonda ALR is offered in two models (ALR 4 and ALR 5), and two brake options (disc or rim).
The Émonda ALR disc uses the flat mount caliper standard and 12mm thru axles.
