      @@zoso73 Unfortunately like 2 days after I picked up my bike from the store it started to snow and it's been very cold ever since (like from -5 down to -15, with wind). I got some 45km of riding in and so far it has felt great! I should clarify though that this is my first road bike so I am not a serious cyclist! But I actually took this one to a hilly gravel roads and it survived pretty well even compared to my previous bike that had suspensions and wider tires. I will probably need to adjust the handle bar position and saddle a bit since the frame is slightly too big, but otherwise I am very happy about the purchase. Luckily the cold weather seems to be warming up a bit (I did not invest on winter tires) and so I can go for a ride soon again!

    Thanks for reviewing a reasonable bike that many can afford. I think simplicity like this should be a trend in 2021 at all price points. I'd love to see a return to more external cabling, threaded BBs and round seatposts with traditional clamps. Even at the higher end, field serviceability, reliability and durability should be higher priorities than they are today. The more you ride, the more you appreciate a bike that's ready to go every day without a lot of fuss.

      @@assadmoney color difference, the AL4 uses formula Rx-142 rear hub bearing vs AL5 is bontrager alloy both use shimano free hub, the AL4 uses comp VR handlebars vs the AL5 uses the bontrager elite iso zone VR-SR. Now the big changes is that the AL4 uses shimano Tiagra groupset including bottom bracket vs the AL5 uses all shimano 105 that just got released recently. So the Al4 is a 10 speed cassette vs 105 11 speed. The AL5 is 22.5 lbs vs the AL4 23.11. This due to the 105 vs tiagra and the lighter better handlebars. For how little more the AL5 is over the 4 I went AL5 to have the full shimano 105 vs tiagra.
      This way I don’t have to upgrade. 105 offers same ultegra/dura ace offer just a bit heavier is all. Vs tiagra you’re down a gear.

    I have been riding the Trek Domane AL 2 Disc as a winter/commuter bike for a month now and I am very pleased with it. The AL 4 costs twice as much as the AL 2 in Germany, so I ride the Claris R2000 8-speed groupset for 1-2 years and then replace it with a GRX or 105 groupset, which funnily enough is much cheaper than buying the AL 4 or 5 directly.
    I'm 175 cm tall, 82 cm inseam and I also ride a 54 frame, just swapped the -7° 90 mm stem for a 105 mm with -17° and changed the 42 handlebar for a 40 cm short reach compact bar. Oh, and of course I slammed the stem.
    What I have problems with is the paintwork, which is very scratch-prone and I had already partially re-painted it. The colour Purple Abyss is identical to the Volkswagen LA4X Ultra Violet Metallic colour.

    Another great review guys. Aluminium bikes are very attractive especially as model-types are similar across a range, the only big difference being the material. Aluminium is a great frame material and provides a different type of ride to, say carbon, but at a more reasonable cost therefore presenting great value. Would an alu frame such as this Trek easily fit with a more flexible carbon seat-post, I wonder? Bikes like these are robust and not that much heavier than similar carbon models & I'd rather take an alu bike out on a gravel 'blast' than a more expensive carbon one where I'd be fretting about possible scratches or possible expensive damage. Good also to see manufacturers focussing on & improving models at a lower price level.

I'll be hitting a new asphalt bike path soon. Drop some gears and it gets me through some mowed grassy areas when I need to. Shifts smoothly also. Was going to get AL 5 but tried this at trek dealer and liked it. Bought a bunch of accessories and it was 2303.00 OTD with 8.76% tax. I like the hydraulic brakes better than the AL 3 but they were both good.

    I have a 2017 Domane ALR with Iso Speed. I love it. It clears a set of Panaracer Gravel King SK 35mm tires, which measures closer to 38mm actually. I did Grinduro and Set Grvl on that bike and never felt underbiked... only under skilled haha... I've even done some light single track with my mtb buddies. As long as it's not muddy, it holds its own. I guess this new model would be even more capable, although it's missing the Iso Speed. I managed to build mine down to 20 pounds with Zipp Course 30 wheels and Apex 1 drivetrain.

    10 speed is great. Disc brake bikes are not light. You want more bang for your Buck to go lighter for price, you go rim break. But, rim breaks have limits depending on their type that will fit a wider tire. With newer disc Domane being able to fit 38mm wide tires, you don’t need a gravel bike if your just riding dirt and gravel that isn’t super chunky

      @@roland4507 yeah that's my question. but I measure same weight and groupset, the Trek seems to have much better wheels and I think tires, which are expensive. Plus the frame is warrantied and renoun. I'm not a huge fan of Trek value/price but it's really not bad at all. Those other brands I mentioned however... and specialized is halfway there... ;-)

    This doesn't slip between the emonda and checkpoint... It's more like previous domanes and checkpoint, Emonda is a lightweight road bike, 1100 grams frame depending on frame size, aimed at being the lightest at each price point, domane al series is entry level alloy from trek, wide tires, disc brakes, endurance geometry or all road geometry, so it's going to be heavy... If you ride the previous domanes with disc brakes, this one is similar, not a very different bike... Scott speedster 20 disc

      Heave is a relative term. Heavy in terms of marketed bike weight? Yes. Heavy in practical terms? No. You’re not going to go much faster with a few extra kilos. Still light enough to carry if that’s a concern and light enough to ride. Shed that weight from your body

      ​@@VeloVeloVeloTV right and so I was wondering just why didn't Trek used the Alpha 300 that they use to make the Emonda ALR and turn this into a Domane ALR. This really is an intresting bike; 27.2 round seatpost, English Threaded BB, wide tyre clearance, fender mounts, a black paint job that looks good. The only thing that's kept me wondering is the use of materials; Alpha 100 (heavy) over the lighter Alpha 300

  • @0741921
    @0741921 3 роки тому

    Disappointed official clearance is only 35 when the carbon version has 38. Was considering of getting the al version to save money and be able to put suspension seat post since it has a standard post as opposed to carbon options. Don’t want to get the checkpoint because I mostly ride roads and don’t want a bike that’s too sluggish or slow
