Thoughts on the Trek Emonda SL6 Pro
I am considering getting the bike. I want to race and chose races that have climbs. I am a smaller rider and I only weigh 115lbs and I can average 250 wats for about 45 minutes.
I want a bike that’s good for climbing and descending in dry conditions. I don’t need something aero I rather have something that I can climb faster with since that’s a strength alread

Hey Kevin, the Emonda SL 6 Pro would be a fantastic bike for where you are riding!
Also, just a note, Trek University discounts are best kept to yourself!

Uh, yeah, what Mitch said. Why haven't you already bought it?

Mitch got banned? I thought industry reps are allowed here? He gave me a great answer on a question about my Madone's BB. Oh well.

Yeah, but the mods think it's more entertaining to see lots of non-experts theorize on the correct answers to technical questions. There's no fun in single definitively answered posts = /thread

I recently purchased a new bike and was looking at the trek sl6 pro. It seemed like a solid platform that would preform well. The only reason I went with another bike was money. The trek was a left over bike that the store was taking $150 dollars off msrp and acting like they were doing me a favor.

Seems the 2020 SL6 Pro is disc only. Do you prefer disc or rim?

I have that bike and it's great. Buy it.
If it helps, I'm just under 5'7 and 130lbs. FTP around 245. I have a size 52 and run with all the spacers over the stem. Fitted it with a FSA areanova LTD handlebar. Can't be happier.
