Here’s what Trek have to say:

Émonda SL 5 Disc is a lightweight carbon road bike with a balanced ride quality, superior handling characteristics and the added benefit of free speed thanks to aero tube shaping. It’s a great choice for century rides on hilly terrain, windy flats and speedy descents.

This bike is for you if you want the performance of a light, fast carbon bike at a great value. You’re a new racer or dedicated road rider looking to upgrade from an aluminium bike, and you want dependable parts, confident stopping power and the weight savings and ride quality of an aerodynamic OCLV Carbon frame.

A lightweight and aerodynamic 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame and fork, a full Shimano 105 11-speed drivetrain, powerful flat-mount Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, internal cable routing for clean looks and Bontrager Paradigm Comp tubeless-ready wheels.

This light and aerodynamic bike is flat-out fast up climbs and on straightaways. It delivers all the stopping power and control you’ll need for big descents. The hydraulic disc brake upgrade and reliable drivetrain make it a great choice for your first carbon road bike.
