At the end of the day, these complex scientific investigations are applied in a hands-on, ground-up process that combines multiple molds with a variety of carbon materials to result in a magnificently engineered and largely hand-built product. Our bikes are conceived with computer-generated designs, fluid-dynamically assessed and finite analyzed, and the resulting shapes appear seamlessly machine-made. We utilize proven theories of fluid mechanics through Computational Fluid Dynamics in order to explore the aerodynamic properties of various designs. Trek utilizes Finite Element Analysis, a comprehensive software simulation toolkit, to tell us exactly how different shapes will respond to different riders and riding surfaces. Different shapes exhibit different strength, stiffness, and aerodynamic properties. In addition to sizeable reductions in weight, the largest advantage of carbon fiber frames over another material are the limitless shapes that the material can be molded into. It’s great on climbs, and great over the bumps (not too stiff. This frame 5500/5200 was the first full carbon frame to win the Tour de France – although the victory was later scratched due to rider doping. Not sure how truthful that is though, a guy I regularly ride with loves the feel of his 5900. To the original question, Ive heard from some that the OCLV 110 (5900, Madone) is a little harsher than the OCLV 120 (5500, 5200, 5000). Trek’s OCLV carbon fiber enabled them to make some of the lightest bikes in production. All the 5x00 series of Treks bikes are definitely Treks, not giants. Its Trek OCLV 120 Carbon frame and carbon fork are light, stiff and velvety smooth for. 20 (2 x 10) speed, quick release wheels set and 700x25c tires.
