Strengths: Light weight at just over 15 lbs. Great feel... light and responsive, does not flex. Dura-ace components are tried and true performers...awesome. Everything works well together.Weaknesses: It really has no weaknesses, unless you don't like all of the Discovery Team and Shimano graphics all over it.Bottom Line: I found this rare SSLx at the Trek store and had been looking at it for a while. Since it lists for $9995 (out of most cyclist's price range) no one had bought it. They finally dropped the price way down to $3250 and I bought it in Feb 2008 while business was slow. It is very light and stiff. I really like the way it handles. I am running Dura Ace Tubeless wheels on it.
Favorite Ride: Trek SSLx Limited Production bike
Price Paid:
$3250.00
Purchased At: Trek Store of St. Lo
Similar Products Used: High end Scott carbon frames and other road bikes.
Bike Setup: It is a stock 56cm frame. I am running Shimano Dura-Ace Tubless Wheels and Hutchinson Fusion 2 Tubeless tires...they have a great road feel like Tubular tires.

Strengths: The bike is fast, light and stiff. Power transfer is great. No disappointments with the bike. The components are the best--from Trek's best frame (and rarest), to the Dura Ace components and the best Bontrager carbon wheels, seat post and handle bars.Weaknesses: The AMD and Discovery decals are a bit too much.Bottom Line: Great Bike! More than I deserve. The bike is super light and faster than any other I've ridden. Project One paint is awesome.

Strengths: Great frame (super light and only a handful exist), with super components. USA made and the best. Nearly all carbon.Weaknesses: Price, but you get what you pay for. Better than Italian bikes with little manufacturer support and service.Bottom Line: This bike rocks! It is very stiff, and super light. The bike is responsive and fairly compliant. Its geometry is aggressive and only on a rare occasion have I been passed while riding this bike. The components are great--dura ace and the best Bontrager has to offer.

Strengths: Bottom bracket area is noticably stiffer than 5900.Weaknesses: Carbon clinchers are very light, but not so stable with my 190 pounds at speeds over 40mph.Bottom Line: The best I have ever ridden. Changed saddle and stem, everything else is stock. Very stiff and seems to absorb the bumbs.

Strengths: Stiff and light. Bontrager XXX team clincher wheels.Weaknesses: hahahahahaha!Bottom Line: This bike is very stiff and light. It responds to every effort applied without any loss of power. When I pedal it goes! It weighs 15lbs. with with the Bontrager XXX Team clincher wheels, so climbings hills on this bike is easier. I love this bike!
