    beautiful bike but a little disappointed on how much it weighs considering this is suppose to replace the Emonda, we're looking at a over 7.5kg bike (even with DA pedals) when competitors are looking at just UCI legal weights is just a little disappointing coming from a massive company like trek where ik for a fact they don't skimp out on R&D

    • @DanEscapes
      @DanEscapes 23 дні тому

      Depends if you want more road focus or gravel. I love the versatility though of the check point. The domane has a more relaxed geometry compared to the checkpoint, so if you prioritise comfort then maybe the domane. Personally for me it would be the checkpoint, great off road and if you get a road set of wheels works really well too!

    I know that route well and that you avoid that bottom part in all but a few months of the year 🤣🤣🤣 quite a timely video as I'm facing the first world problem of whether to change my pro cal for a super cal. Something of an all rounder for some ultra racing which has roads, gravel, trails etc. I think it could offer some extra comfort but is it worth the additional spend?

    • @DanEscapes
      @DanEscapes 27 днів тому

      I have noted for next time to avoid that part 😂 the pro cal is a great bike but if you want more comfort and versatility then definitely the super cal is the one. Justinas recently won the tour divide on a super cal. Obviously it’s more the rider than the bike, but think the previous year he was on the pro cal and opted for more comfort. Big difference is getting good light wheels and tires.

    • @DanEscapes
