I see that in addition to being the lightest production bike ever it is also stiffer and the best riding road bike Trek has ever offered.

 

Brilliant, and a testament to what can be achieved if you let your marketing department do your R&D. You no longer need to make dynamic tradeoffs.

 

I suppose that Trek factory racing will be aboard these next week, with a 2.2 Kg lead weight bolted to the frame. (Or maybe platinum would be faster)

It's like saying you can't buy a Ferrari cause it's faster than the speed limit. The guy who can afford thus won't be racing UCI events. Let the R&D guys gave their moment.

When one adds pedals, computer and bottlecages, the weight could still be under 5kg's. Impressive.

I want one please! With Jock coming up in July

I will be flying up Long Tom...is it a bird or a plane...

 

But for the average cyclist, the cost will keep us dreaming...

Did the UCI get rid of the weight limit rule? I thought I read something abotu that this year maybe even on the hub but I can't be sure?

 

Apparently the UCI is looking at lowering the weight limit or removing it all together in this youtube video about the new Trek:
