Trek’s new Emonda ALR Disc is lighter than its SL carbon counterpart

Weight has always been central to the Emonda and the ALR is pretty feathery, especially for a metal bike. Claimed frame weight for the rim brake model is 1,112g, while the disc version comes in at 1,131g for a size 56 without paint. The matching forks weigh 313g and 350g respectively, and are shared with the rest of the Emonda range.

For context, the carbon Emonda SL’s numbers are 1,091g and 1,149g for the rim and disc versions, meaning that the disc ALR is actually lighter than its carbon counterpart, although it's possible that the SL's seatmast design is skewing the numbers slightly.

Both the SL and the ALR are approaching double the weight of the range-topping — and fearsomely expensive — SLR, but that’s more a reflection of how incredibly light the halo bike is, rather than how heavy they are.
