maybe there is nothing major they want to change. Also when Trek introduce a new bike at the pro level, it is usually available right away for the public, and they have stock! Look at the Domane pheraps.
What would be any major updates? The SC has held up pretty well in tunnel tests across the yaws and years.
- maguro hydraulic brake integration/options (isn't the front and rear brakes a PITA in the SC?)
- a non-UCI variant geometry that has a bladder option a la the non-UCI Shiv?
- more headset/TT bar options?
They already have a good set of accessories and integration. It's a pretty good design, and I'm a Cervelo fanboy. And Trek seemed to hold onto their last TT design for quite a while, the Lance-derived one.
Based on the lack of P5 aero data and how the SC stacked up against the P4, I don't know if there are major gains to be made aero-wise with a redesign. There seems to be some good consumer/prosumer software for CFD modelling of aerodynamics being used by Ceepo, Flo Cycling, and Cervelo that allows aero design on the cheap without a lot of physical models. But the P5 still doesn't appear to be a major upgrade speedwise over the P4.
You know, if they ever appear...
