New Trek Domane+ SLR E-Bike Is A Weight Weenie’s Dream Come True via insideevs.com
Performance-oriented electric bikes are getting lighter and more tech-loaded than ever before. More and more mainstream manufacturers are pouring in millions of dollars in research and development, acknowledging the fact that e-bikes are indeed the future of mobility. In the world of for-sport electric bikes, the story is pretty much the same, but with a focus on lightness, efficiency, and natural feel. Trek’s newest road e-bike is a testament to this.
The Trek Domane+ SLR, the company's lightest electric bike to date, is a sneaky e-bike made to blend in among conventional cycles without standing out. Indeed, the Trek Domane+ SLR can easily be mistaken as a standard, non-electric bike thanks to its sleek styling. Tipping the scales at just 11.75 kilograms, it'll surely ride as naturally as a non-electric bike, too.
The weight-weenie shenanigans don’t end there, though. The bike is powered by the TQ-HPR50 e-bike drive system, a lesser-known yet lightweight and advanced e-bike powertrain. It produces 50 Nm of torque, which is considerably less than what you’d expect from utility-focused e-bikes, but keep in mind that for for-sport electric bikes like the Domane+, lightness and natural pedal feel are what matter most. Having said that, the motor can reach speeds of up to 28 miles per hour in the U.S. market.
Additionally, Trek sells a 160 Wh range extender that increases the bike's battery capacity by about 50-percent. You'll have to give up your water bottle to carry it around, though, and shell out an additional $599 USD for this extra battery. In terms of the bike's overall value, the Trek Domane+ SLR starts at $8,999 USD for the base model equipped with a Shimano drivetrain.
