Anyone notice the increasing weights this year over year? I've only checked a few, I thought bikes generally reduce weight over time?
Trek Domane SL6 Disc
2018: 18.14 lbs https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bike ... Code=black
2019: 19.07 lbs https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bike ... ack_orange
Trek Emonda SLR6
2017: 14.55 lbs https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bike ... Code=black
2018: 14.96 lbs https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bike ... grey_black
Trek Bikes Heavier in 2019?
The weights published on their website should be taken with a big ol' grain of salt.
Madone 9 - https://bit.ly/2Nqedbn
Emonda SLR - https://bit.ly/2UK5FP8
Crockett - https://bit.ly/2Xem4sk
Madone 5, Cobia. I own a lot of Treks.

Similarly, the new Trek Madone SL6 is listed as 390g heavier than the outgoing Trek Madone 9.0 when the only difference is the carbon used (OCLV 500 vs OCLV 600) and saddle (chromium rails instead of titanium). Probably a change in their weighing system.

The Madone SL vs 9 difference can completely be explained by the two changes you mentioned. I can’t imagine there being a difference in “weighing system.” What might you think that be? The only possibilities are with the addition of demo pedals and/or CPSC reflectors installed.

I would expect measurement error to show some bikes get lighter and some heavier. This seems to be getting heavier on many of the bikes.
