Trek madone 5.2 pro vs. Cannondale Super Six Hi-Mo

Vekten på de er nok ganske lik, men Trek er veldig i mot å gi ut vekten på syklene sine, siden det aldri blir helt riktig (i følge de selv).

Why aren't the weights listed in the specs on the website?

We understand that this is an important piece of information that many riders factor into their buying decision. We have chosen not to post weights on the website for a couple of reasons:

1. It is probably most accurate for a rider to simply weigh a bike in a shop as opposed to us listing it on the website, because there are many variables that affect the weight of the bike- i.e.- frame size, decal/color options (some designs weigh more than others, with or without pedals, and production/component variables. Tires vary widely in weight, even though they come out of the same mold- same with tubes. The actual tubing and weld material can vary a good bit, depending on the style of the welder and the amount of weld rod added. Bottom line, we would have two choices, estimate heavy so we would never be called liars, or go light, knowing that we would be wrong on occasion.

2. Many of our competitors do list bike weights, and we know that they are not accurate - i.e., we know they have chosen to list a lighter weight than 99% of customers would be likely to get. For the rider simply looking on the internet, Trek bikes may not compare as favorably as they would if you actually weighed actual bikes.

3. Last, we encourage riders to remember that anyone can make a bike lighter, but Trek will only sell bikes that are 'responsibly light', meaning that all the components have passed strict impact and fatigue testing. We spec our bikes to be safe and last a long time, so be sure to compare company warranties when you are comparing weights.
