Any aero data on the Emonda SL(R)
Moderator: robbosmans
I am interested how it keeping up against the other obvious choices like the Tarmac SL6 and SL7, Canyon Ultimate etc regarding aero?
I am on the edge on buying an Emonda SL5. I know it is heavy as f***, but it would be only bike number three besides my Checkpoint and Epic HT.

I'd wager that if you spent your money on a good road deep wheelset and other components on the Checkpoint, you'd have a lighter and possibly more aero bike than you would if you just bought the Emonda SL5 and kept it as stock.Cattiy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 4:01 pmI am interested how it keeping up against the other obvious choices like the Tarmac SL6 and SL7, Canyon Ultimate etc regarding aero?

The thing is I already have a light road wheelset. 45 mm carbon mit 240 DT Swiss EXP weighing 1300 g with a Red XPLR cassette that I intended to use with the Checkpoint.
My Checkpoint is already tuned to the max with SRAM Red XPLR and LightBycicle Wheelset and Carbon parts. It weighs 8,6 kg. The thing is, that is looks shit with the road wheelset and handles not very road bike like because of the 43,5 cm chainstays.
I think with carbon everything and Ultegra DI2 I could get the Emonda down to may 7,6 kg.

Well, it´s not an aero bike, so don´t expect much.Cattiy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 4:01 pmI am interested how it keeping up against the other obvious choices like the Tarmac SL6 and SL7, Canyon Ultimate etc regarding aero?

It´s not about wheels alone or frame alone. They didn´t test wheels separately, they tested bikes, so it´s about interaction between wheels, frame, fork, etc.
If a whole unit is ´not fast´ then even Zipp 808 wouldn´t shave many watts off.

Is this 2023 Ultimate or the older model?Roadrocket wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 12:52 amWell, it´s not an aero bike, so don´t expect much.Cattiy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 4:01 pmI am interested how it keeping up against the other obvious choices like the Tarmac SL6 and SL7, Canyon Ultimate etc regarding aero?

Should be the older model. I don´t see much improvement regarding aero in 2023 model anyway.Cattiy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 5:24 pmIs this 2023 Ultimate or the older model?Roadrocket wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 12:52 amWell, it´s not an aero bike, so don´t expect much.Cattiy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 4:01 pmI am interested how it keeping up against the other obvious choices like the Tarmac SL6 and SL7, Canyon Ultimate etc regarding aero?
