Trek Speed Concept SLR 9 - Weight, Specs, Price

2022 trek speed concept slr 7 review - a tpc rider's quick take, by owen h.

  • Top-tier Aerodynamics - The Speed Concept SLR 7's aerodynamics are second to none. Trek claims the new 2023 Speed Concept is 6 minutes faster at the Kona than the last generation bike.
  • The bike's aggressive geometry and design elements aim to minimize wind resistance at every opportunity. The integrated cockpit and sleek Kammtail Virtual Foil tube shaping create an aerodynamic profile that slices through the air.
  • Exceptional Power Transfer - The bottom bracket of the Speed Concept SLR 7 is stiffer than many other TT bikes I've ridden. This stiffness makes for exceptional power transfer. Every watt you pump into the pedals feels like it's directly propelling you forward. No energy wasted.
  • Fit Customization Options - One of the surprising aspects is the bike's adjustable fit. Triathlon bikes often sacrifice customization for the sake of aerodynamics, but Trek has managed to offer both with its Speed Concept. The integrated cockpit and seatpost provide a range of adjustment options that cater to a broad spectrum of riders.
  • Premium Price Tag - The Speed Concept SLR 7 doesn't come cheap. The advanced aerodynamic features and high-end components contribute to a price tag that could give the budget-conscious cyclist a moment of hesitation. ($10,199)
  • Not Versatile - This is a bike built for a purpose - it's a time-trial machine. If you're looking for a bike for group rides, casual spins, or any form of off-road or mixed-terrain cycling, this probably isn't the bike for you.
  • Complex Maintenance - With all its integrated systems and internal cabling, the Speed Concept SLR 7 can be a pain to work on. Regular maintenance and any necessary repairs might require a trip to a professional mechanic more often than not.

Trek Speed Concept Review

Trek Speed Concept SLR 9 AXS eTap

I’ve been riding my Trek Speed Concept SLR 9 for a few months now since it was deliverd in February.

That is, because of the lousy weather and me not wanting it to get dirty on its maiden voyage, I didn’t actually ride on it before early March 😂

But since then, I’ve already taken it out for a spin more often than I ‘promised’ Paula – and myself, sorta – when I got it…

While I first blamed that on me having to fine-tune my Speed Concept, then practise a bit on it before the Tijdrit Almere , I have no other justification for that, other than that it’s so much ‘fun’ to ride it.

Well, not during the much anticipated ITT, as that was over before I was able to drop the hammer on my PR…

And ‘fun’ should not be taken literally, as riding in the time trial position is never much fun and takes getting used to.

So, if you’re new to time trialling or triathlons, don’t expect this fantastic beast to make that any easier.

But, you will probably go faster – apparently, the claimed improvements actually get  better if you’re not world class and cannot ride an ITT at 50 kph.

If you’re on a budget, you might just as well go for the ‘cheaper’ Sram Rival AXS version of the Speed Concept, which basically gives you the same components, other than the group set.

Even that will set you back €9.600, so don’t overestimate cheap – the cheapest Shimano (Ultegra Di2) is roughly €600 less…

If you are a Tri-athlete, Trek’s IsoSpeed system , meaning top and seat tubes are further out to match a triathlete’s more aggressive position, is a huge 30% more compliant, which should leave you less fatigued for the run.

I’ll take their word for it…

Mounting an ITT/triathlon bike for the first time can be daunting, but as I’m already used to that, I didn’t have any problems.

On the contrary: the Speed Concept is a lot less ‘ twitchy’ than the SpeedMax . I only had to make adjustments to fine-tune my position, i.e. pad width, extension length and the (stack)height between base bars and extensions.

If you’re not (yet) used to hydraulic disc brakes, the superior braking power of these will also boost your confidence.

I fitted my bike with Look Keo Blade Ceramic Ti pedals, which are a huge upgrade from the Favero Assioma pedals I had on the SpeedMax.

Not because the Assioma’s are not worth every penny, but if you want as little power loss on every stroke as possible, the Keo’s are far superior.

And looking at my power numbers over the past months, I consistently need to push less power to reach the same speed(s).

Some of the difference can be explained by the numbers from the Assioma’s being different from those I get from the Quarq chain ring PM, but they are equally accurate.

Which means it comes down to the superior aerodynamics of the Speed Concept, and the pedals.

At any rate, this doesn’t mean that I will go a lot faster, though.

In my experience, not backed by science, I need to push 10 to 15 Watts more for a mere 1 kph increase.

As my rides are more influenced by wind speeds than anything else, I should look at the long term average and that confirms I do need to generate less power than before…

One thing I’m always a bit weary about is the saddle, or rather: a saddle change.

However, the Bontrager Hilo saddle is almost comfy so I was very happy I could stick with that.

One upgrade I passed on was for the wheels: the Aeolus RSL 51 set has a lower rim than I was used to, but I will – probably – never go for closed wheels and the 58/82 mm rims on the SpeedMax were not very practical riding with tubes.

Which looks like no issue if you ride tubeless, until you get a flat in the middle of nowhere and need to put a tube in to be able to get home…

I did get the extra between-the-arms bottle on my Speed Concept, as that can be refilled from the (standard) down-tube bottle. However, I replaced both with ‘standard’ bottle cages within a week.

The ‘hidden’ down-tube storage is rather useless if you ever need anything from it fast, like during a race. It fits a tube, CO2 cartridge and multi-tool, but it’s a tight fit and I would prefer something that doesn’t require the removal of other parts to access.

The Bento box for storing gels or bars is not very useful either imho – unless you put your items in as advertised, nothing much fits and I for one, don’t like riding around with gels flapping.

Overall, the Speed Concept is easier to handle and faster than anything I’ve had before. The downside is that it’s also considerably more expensive than anything I’ve had before.

You will need to bring a lot of cash to table to get one, even in the lower range.

If money is not an issue and you can use all the ‘help’ you can get to achieve your triathlon goals, then this is probably one of the best bikes you can get.

And yes, I’m aware that I do not have  any goals, I’m an old man and I (thus) should not be allowed to even consider buying one, but yet here we are…

Beautiful machine! And great to hear it really does its job.

The power you need to overcome aero drag goes up with the cube of your speed. Your estimate (10 or 15 Watt for just 1 kph more speed) is probably OK, a bit conservative even:

Let’s suppose you need around 250 Watt for 38 kph (source: Zwift Insider ).

And let’s ignore rolling resistance for this back of the envelope calculation.

In that case you would need (39/38)^3 * 250 = 270 Watt for 39 kph. 20 Watt or 8% more. So 1 kph is a big deal …

The link above contains estimates for bigger steps (2.5 kph and 5 kph) and is quite depressing if you want to go a lot faster!

Thanks Karel, it is 😎

One thing is for sure and that is that we will never have the circumstances to test this in our backyard, as there will always be wind.

It’s been a while since Trek released their last version of the well-loved Speed Concept tri/TT bike. By my count, something like eight years since a serious revision—but maybe even more depending on your definition of “serious revision.” We’ve seen hints and glimpses and weird theories about the third generation Speed Concept (based on spy photos, we dubbed it the Speed Cncpt at one point). Visually, the new Speed Concept isn’t jarringly different than the last model, but there’s a lot more to this version than meets the eye.

Trek Speed Concept Gen 3: The Basics

Though we tested the SLR 7 Ultegra 12-speed build of this new Gen 3 Speed Concept, the features on each of the four flavors (SLR 9, 9 eTap, 7eTap, and 7) are similar—save for wheels, drivetrain, and a few other bits like saddles. The frames/forks/bars are the same. According to Trek, the big news about this redesign is the fact that the new version is six minutes or 16 watts at 26mph (roughly Kona-winning pace) faster than the previous version. But there’s way more to it than that.

First, this is Trek’s first Speed Concept with disc brakes—a trend that is unavoidable in today’s high-end road bike market. For years Trek fans were left behind when it came to a tri bike that would take advantage of the super wide rims, greater selection, and the even lower prices that disc-brake wheels brought. Finally, you don’t have to choose Trek or disc.

Next, we’re seeing a big redesign on the Trek’s front end. Notably Trek has ditched the monopost riser that ironically a few competing brands have recently adopted ( Orbea , for instance) and swapped it out for a dual-riser system with a very clean-looking—but also more flexible—fork/stem interface. No more cone/bayonet/brake cowl situation.

trek speed concept wheels

And while we’ll dig into the features in more detail just below, it’s worth noting that while Trek is playing catch-up with some of their features, they’re forging a new path with their IsoSpeed suspension system. While beam bikes can rightfully claim a level of suspension in their designs, IsoSpeed—which Trek has offered for years on other lines—is the first built-in suspension in a traditional double-diamond frame. The idea being that the suspension will lessen vibration from the road into the rider without sacrificing handling or stand-up response. Less vibration means less fatigue, which not only helps on the bike, but sometimes even more so on the run.

Trek Speed Concept Gen 3: The Features

There’s a lot going on with the new generation of Speed Concepts, so we’re going to break down the features on this bike below—in order from most effective to least—but leave our impressions until the following section.

Our size medium SLR 7 with Ultegra and midrange Bontrager carbon wheels weighed in just under the all-important 20-pound mark. While many triathletes might rightfully say that weight doesn’t matter much on a tri bike, there’s something to be said for how efficient this design is, and if the wind tunnel numbers are right, Trek did a great job of playing by the UCI rules, making things increasingly more aero, making a shockingly responsive ride, and doing it all without excess materials ( Scott Plasma 6 , I’m looking at you…). This is a tight bike with a low weight that comes as a result.

Aerodynamics

Trek claims this cuts 16 minutes off an Ironman time or saves 16 watts at 26mph. While most triathletes aren’t averaging 26mph for 112 miles (in fact, almost none are…), improvements are improvements. I’d love to see this setup against other bikes in this weight class like the new Quintana Roo V-PR , Scott Plasma 6, Orbea Ordu, or everyone’s favorite double-diamond benchmark, the Cervelo P5.

Disc Brakes

While it’s hard to argue that increased stopping power isn’t a good thing, there’s a lot more to the addition of disc brakes than that. Finally Speed Concept owners can use a greater selection of wider, faster, and oftentimes cheaper disc wheels. They also don’t have to deal with insane brake calipers and aero cowlings. In the latest Speed Concept, Trek also said it’s added discs without adding weight (a tough thing to do).

Hydration, Storage

Though Trek still hasn’t cracked the code on fully frame-integrated hydration like Scott or Canyon, their downtube hydration system is sleek and basically useful.

trek speed concept wheels

Their attachable between-the-bars system also looks about par for the course (we weren’t able to try it, however), and the integrated top tube storage actually went above and beyond what you normally see from a built-in bento box. (Removable dividers for organization helped manage the spacious cavity.)

trek speed concept wheels

Finally, we really really liked the built-in tool/flat storage that was tucked neatly beneath the downtube water bottle—in many ways it kind of looked like something Canyon would do.

trek speed concept wheels

Suspension System

Trek’s IsoSpeed suspension system helps reduce vibration heading up from the road into the rider. Trek claims it increases compliance by 30%—which seems like a lot—by using an internal pivot system specifically placed to help with nose-riding triathletes. With reduced vibration, triathletes will have more energy to ride and run (especially if using a disc or deep-dish set of wheels). In practice, results were a bit of a mixed bag—hence this feature’s ranking on the list of features. Read on for our impressions.

Trek Speed Concept Gen 3: The Good

Oddly enough, there’s a lot that’s really exciting on this bike that Trek chose not to highlight for some reason. There’s a lot of talk about the increased aerodynamics (which are great, but hardly perceptible when riding under 26mph not in a wind tunnel) and the suspension system, but not a lot of mention about the way the bike handles, its road feel, its handling, or its weight (which is quite low for tri standards). Trek does highlight excellent storage—which the Speed Concept does very elegantly—and their wide range of easily adjustable fit options across four sizes. Those are highlights worth noting because the new Speed Concept is worthy of praise in those arenas for sure.

trek speed concept wheels

But the most interesting things we found while riding the new Speed Concept are slightly more imperceptible and in many ways rarer than things like storage and fit options. Not since Cervelo’s new P5—a bike that many brands flat-out use as a benchmark to compare their latest bikes to—have we had such a snappy, lively, and intuitive-handling bike. We’ll get to the vibration damping on this bike below, but the Speed Concept has a high level of road feel, accelerates quickly when standing or powering over rollers in the aerobars, and cuts corners very very well. Much like the similarly UCI-legal P5. Because the design is tight and well-thought-out, the Speed Concept feels completely connected to the rider—right out of the box. While it might not hold straight lines like the new V-PR in a screaming downhill aero tuck, it moves aggressively around obstacles and corners without earning the “twitchy” label.

Also much like the P5, the Speed Concept travels very well, as you only need to loosen a few bolts to bring the front end off and pack it up. All compartments and coverings are similarly well-integrated without a bevy of tiny bolts to potentially strip and/or get lost. Here, Trek clearly spent a lot of time in their design iterations to make sure things on the user side were simple, all while giving plenty of features that triathletes expect from a near-$10k bike.

Trek Speed Concept Gen 3: The OK

There are a few little nit-picky things on the Speed Concept that you only typically bring up if the rest of the bike is really really good. So we’ll start there. First, the saddle that comes with the SLR 7 version is shockingly hard and shockingly wide. This might work for some triathletes, but others will likely need an immediate swap.

trek speed concept wheels

Next, while there is a lot of fit flexibility in the four sizes that Trek offers, the seat angle can’t get as steep as some triathletes might want (if so, look to Canyon or Quintana Roo to get really steep). Also, like many (but not all) integrated front ends that are super cool, you can’t change out the aerobar extensions for a different style without changing the whole bar system—the Speed Concept’s  unusual (but easily adjustable) aerobar shape ensures this. Finally, in the nit-picky section, we were surprised that Trek sold this with midrange 51mm carbon wheels on the front and rear. I would hope to either knock $1K off the price and go with basic trainers or add a few bucks and give this rig a proper deep rear/mid-depth front.

trek speed concept wheels

The last thing we were surprised by was how not-smooth the ride was over low- and mid-frequency road vibrations. Given that Trek probably put a lot of time and effort into their IsoSpeed system—which worked like a charm over high-frequency road chatter—the ride was much rougher than I would have thought. That’s not to say the new Speed Concept is a rough-riding bike in the grand scheme of things, but there are at least three other new bikes off the top of my head with a smoother ride at this price range and no suspension system. Of course none of those bikes have the handling and acceleration of the Speed Concept either—so there’s a give and take, of course.

Trek Speed Concept Gen 3: Conclusions

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first got on top of this new Speed Concept. I had always liked the old version in the way that it was predictable but unremarkable. It wasn’t a bike that would get you excited to go out and ride, but it also did it’s job just fine. The third generation of this bike seems to have gotten the “excitement” variable right. This is a fun bike. Sure it’s not as tri-specific as some of the other brands we’ve mentioned here—ones with in-frame hydration and all sorts of other non-UCI-legal goodies—but there’s something to be said for a simple, no-frills design with key features that works very very well.

I think this is (finally) a very big upgrade to the Speed Concept line that might serve as a marker to other brands for a new benchmark. For years, I’ve even used the P5 as something to measure other tri bikes against—particularly when it comes to weight, handling, and acceleration (because of course I don’t have a wind tunnel). This could replace that. I like how easy it is to work on this bike, travel with it, and adjust it. I like the way this bike feels when I ride it, and I know everything on it will stay on it and stay quiet as I add more miles onto its odometer. Not every bike at this price can say that, and with the latest version of the Speed Concept, Trek has made some big, necessary, and exciting improvements that’ll stick for years and years, until the next update.

History of Tolyatti

The town was founded by Vasily Tatishev as a fortress called Stavropol to protect the territory of the Russian Empire from nomad raids in 1737. During the 19th century the town’s population hardly grew, and was about 6 thousand people.

By the 1950s, there were only about 12,000 people in the town. When Zhigulyovskaya hydro power station and Kyubyshev water reservoir were constructed, almost the whole town was moved to a new location.

In 1964, the city was renamed in honor of the General Secretary of the Italian Communist Party Palmiro Togliatti. In 1966, together with the Italian automaker FIAT, construction of the Volga Automobile Plant (VAZ), the largest in the USSR, began. In 1964-1970, the population of the city doubled. According to 1970 census, 251,000 people lived in Tolyatti.

Tolyatti - Features

City Day is celebrated on the first summer weekend. Tolyatti stretches for 30 km along the Volga River, and consists of three districts: Avtozavodsky, Central and Komsomolsky. Tolyatti is often called the “green city” because of the large number of green plantations and forests.

The climate is temperate continental with hot summers and cold winters. However, it is considerably mitigated by the Kuibyshev Reservoir. The average temperature in January is minus 10,6 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 20.9 degrees Celsius.

Tolyatti is a large industrial and economic center of Russia. “AvtoVAZ” is the main enterprise of the city. Also there is an automobile plant of “GM-AvtoVAZ” company and a lot of plants producing various parts for cars. Chemical industry is well developed in the city - “TolyattiAzot”, the largest in the world ammonia producer, is located here. The plant supplies its products through a unique ammonia pipeline “Tolyatti-Odessa”.

The federal highway M-5 “Ural” passes through the city connecting the central regions of the European part of Russia with its eastern parts: the Volga region, Urals, Siberia, and the Far East. The distance from Tolyatti to Samara is 90 km, to Moscow - 991 km. Transit trains don’t pass through the city. Only two trains are available: to Moscow and Saratov.

Russian ufologists consider Tolyatti to be one of the most anomalous places in Russia. The number of unexplained facts registered in the city is dozens times higher than the average level in the country.

Attractions of Tolyatti

There are more than 160 historical and cultural monuments in Tolyatti - the city-building monuments and memorial boards. The monuments of city-building are represented by separate objects as well as whole complexes. These are the buildings preserved from the old flooded town and moved to the new city as well as those built in the 1950s.

Nearly half of all monuments can be found in the Central district. On Svobody (Freedom) Square there is a memorial with the Eternal Fire and the Glory Obelisk in memory of the locals perished during the Second World War.

Varvarinskaya Church, built in 1846 in the settlement of Fyodorovka, is of cultural and historical importance. The monumental and decorative composition “Prometheus” on the building of the House of Culture “Tolyatti” is among the most interesting sights (Lenina Boulevard, 1).

In recent years, a number of new monuments appeared in the city: to V.N.Tatishev, the founder of the town, the sculpture “Sorrowful Angel” - to the victims of political repressions, the sculpture to Nikolai Chodotvorets (Saint Nicholas), the dog sculpture “Verny” and a lot of others.
