This post is dedicated to Vincenzo Nibali’s 2021 Trek Émonda bike size and set up. Consider it as a technical chat over a cup of coffee as there are no pictures of the rider, his bike and/or the rider riding his bike.

Vincenzo Nibali is racing the UCI World tour seasons 2020 and 2021 for the team Trek-Segafredo. He is officially riding the new 2021 Trek Émonda SLR road bike since June 2020. 

The Sicilian pro rider nicknamed the “Shark of Messina” for his fast attacks on critical climbs and sharp handling in downhill led him wins several prestigious stages and races including two Giro D’Italia (2013 / 2016) and one Tour de France (2014). 

I really like Vincenzo Nibali riding style as he is in the line of the stylish Italian riders, well positioned on his bike for effective climbs and fast descent. Only a handful of Pro riders can rival with Vincenzo Nibali in a tight cornered descents, assuming they reached the summit together.

This introduction explains why Vincenzo is racing on Trek’s lightest road bike model, the Émonda SLR Disc 2021.
