2015 Trek Emonda S4 Carbon Road Bike Review

Every detail of the Émonda line, from frame design to each component choice on every model, serves the same audacious goal: to create the lightest line of production road bikes ever offered.

The entire Émonda line is unbelievably light, with sensational ride-tuned balance and handling that elevate Trek ride performance to a whole new level.

2015 Trek Dual Sport 8.4 Specs and Features

DS Series is the Ultimate Hybrid

 

Part refined city bike, part adventurous trail ride. Fast 700c wheels, capable suspension, and a light, strong frame make DS the go-anywhere choice.

 

 

• Shimano Alivio/Acera 27-speed drivetrain
• Tektro HDC-300 hydraulic disc brakes
• Bontrager Blendr stem
• Bontrager TLR rims

 

Tubeless Ready rims

Bontrager TLR (Tubeless Ready) Road is the first fully integrated tubeless system for the road. No tubes mean there’s no pinch flats, allowing you to run lower tire pressure. With lower tire pressure you can increase traction, control. and comfort, reduce fatigue on you. Best of all, the tire sealant seals up punctures as soon as they happen!

Hydraulic disc brakes

Hydraulic disc brakes offer the absolute strongest stopping power in all conditions, including wet and muddy.

Massive tire clearance

Accommodates 700x35c tires with fenders, or a 29"x1.8" MTB tire without fenders.

Suspension lockout
Allows you to lock out the suspension fork for efficient riding on smooth terrain.

Rack & fender ready

Built-in mounts make it easy to add racks and fenders for added versatility.

Introduced earlier this season, the new Fuel EX 29 gets all of the improvements that were developed for last year’s 26in bike and combines them with the better rollover and stability of bigger wheels.
This means the frame shares many of the same features, including the E2 tapered head tube, press-fit bottom bracket and the ABP suspension design, where the concentric pivot at the rear axle helps keep the rear wheel tracking the ground even when the brake is applied.
It’s a super-stiff frame design, but it’s worth mentioning that the EX7 doesn’t get the 142x12mm dropouts found on the higher specced models. Instead, Trek uses its neat convertible dropout to fit a less expensive 135mm quick-release rear hub.
The bike is available in six sizes, ranging from a compact 15.5in all the way up to a massive 23in, giving the Fuel EX7 the best range of sizes of all the bikes on test.
Our 19.5in test rig came with a shorter-than-expected stem, which complemented the reach perfectly. Hopefully, this marks a shift in direction for Trek and it didn’t simply swap the stem before sending us the bike, as the overall fit and proportions of the Fuel EX7 are right on the money.

Suspension

Trek’s signature suspension configuration is basically a single-pivot swingarm design, where the ABP pivot transforms the seatstays and rocker link into a floating brake mount. The shock also floats between the rocker link and a small forward extension of the chainstays. The advantages of this Full Floater layout are twofold: there’s no shock mount on the front triangle, so it can be made lighter; and it also allows Trek to fine-tune how progressive the suspension is. As if that wasn’t enough suspension wizardry, Trek also uses a custom DRCV Fox rear shock that gives the support of a small volume air spring at the beginning of the stroke, before a larger-volume second chamber opens up halfway through the stroke to make it easier to use the full 120mm of travel.

Components

The triple-ring chainset on the Fuel EX offers a massive spread of gears, but it instantly marks the bike out as being somewhat behind the times, with all of the other bikes in test sporting twin-ring chainsets. There’s no faulting the performance of the Shimano drivetrain though, and we were really impressed by the light lever action, ample stopping power and overall reliability of the Deore brakes.

Performance

Out on the trail, the Trek feels much heavier than the Whyte, even though both bikes are evenly matched on our workshop scales. As such, it feels more solid too.

Straight-line speed on the Trek is impressive thanks to the long wheelbase, and the resulting extra length and stability help offset the highest BB and steepest head angle in test. The bike also pumps really well, allowing you to milk speed from the trail when it’s not possible to pedal.

Verdict

The Trek Fuel EX7 is a solid performer — fit and geometry are both dialled and the spec is reasonable given the high-quality frame.
