Road Bikes
The Trek Madone road bicycle has been in the spotlight since it was called up for duty as the steed of the Astana-Trek ProTour squad. Alberto Contador, Levi Leipheimer, Chris Horner, Yaroslav Popovych and, as of September 25th, Lance Armstrong will ride the Madone in the toughest events in cycling. Victories in the Tour de France, Tour of Italy, Tour of Spain, Tour of California, Tour of Georgia and Paris-Nice demonstrate the quality Trek has put into each Madone bicycle. These state-of-the-art bicycles are not custom creations, but simply off-the-rack stock machines. Made by hand in Waterloo, Wisconsin, the 6- and 5-series Madone bicycles provide a wide range of component choices and frame for riders ranging from the ambitious recreational rider to the seasoned professional racer.

The 2009 Madone 6.9 is available with Shimano’s new 7900-series Dura-Ace components, or SRAM’s Red components, making it a Tour de France-ready bicycle. The remaining list of components are some of the finest Trek has ever offered on a bicycle. Both have the same OCLV “red” series carbon fiber frame. Bontrager’s Race XXX Lite series components include the stem, handlebars, a carbon-steerer fork, and OCLV carbon fiber clincher wheels. This complete bicycle weighs under 16 lbs. without pedals, even for a large frame

The Madone 6.5 has almost exactly the same frame, components and features, with the exception of the Race X Lite aluminum wheels and Race X Lite “Blade” carbon fiber handlebars. This amazing bicycle can also be produced with a custom Project One color scheme and component choices. Trek hasn’t forgotten that some of their most demanding customers are women who expect their bicycle to fit as well as it rides. The Women’s Specific Design series includes the Madone 6.5 WSD as the flagship model. With Shimano’s latest 7900-series Dura-Ace components, carbon bars and stem, the Madone 6.5 WSD could be the finest bicycle ever made with female riders in mind. Can that much technology be fit into a bike as small as a 47cm frame size? Somehow, Trek did

The Madone 6.5 WSD is the finest road bicycle built for women that Trek has ever made. The frame is made from Trek’s OCLV Red carbon, making it lighter than many ProTour team’s frames. Even the Race XXX Lite fork is carbon, right down to the steerer tube. The Bontrager Race X Lite wheelset uses Swiss Star ratchet internals for more immediate response with every pedal stroke, and weighs an unheard-of 1535 grams. The Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 components were designed and built by an elite department at Shimano. The list of refinements include hollow chainrings for both lightness and improved shift response, hollowed chain pins for lighter weight, carbon fiber in the rear derailleur, and carbon brake levers with adjustable reach. Even the shift cables have migrated under the handlebar tape for

The Madone 5.5 has a Wisconsin-made OCLV “black” series frame outfitted with SRAM’s Force components. Bontrager’s Race Lite wheels, saddle, and handlebars make for a solid list of components for a high-performance bicycle that is ready to race. The Madone 5.5 is available as a WSD model as well, giving women a chance to ride a true racing machine, even if it’s just to beat the boys to the top of the highest hill in the county. Both versions can be custom painted and equipped through Trek’s Project One

While the recreational riders will reach for a Madone for their “dream bike”, more competitive riders will want an even more responsive machine. The backbone to any performance bicycle is the frame, and Trek’s OCLV Black carbon frame has all the features found on Astana’s ProTour bikes, but in a WSD fit that works better for female riders. The Madone 5.5 WSD has SRAM’s Force component group, with it’s light and quick-shifting derailleurs. The 50/34 crankset has carbon arms with an oversized bottom bracket spindle for immediate acceleration. The “DoubleTap” dual control levers have an adjustable reach for smaller hands. Reaching for the handlebars is made easier with the shallow-drop FIR VR handlebar, while the saddle is Bontrager’s Race Lite FIT design for comfort on long rides.

Two of Trek’s best-selling Madone bicycles are the 5.2, and 5.2 WSD. Shimano supplies the Ultegra SL components -in either a double or triple crankset- while Bontrager brings Race Lite wheels, handlebars and fork to the package. The OCLV “black” carbon fiber frame is Wisconsin-made, and shares the same geometry and fit as the pro-level 6.9 Madone or 6.9 WSD. If you want to “Project-1” your 5.2 and give it a wild color scheme, you can make it as unique as you

A Wisconsin-made Madone bicycle is still available, even for those who have less to spend on their dream machine. The Madone 5.1 and 5.1 WSD use Trek’s OCLV “white” carbon, and a Bontrager Race Lite fork for its backbone.

Since the introduction of the Madone 5.1 WSD last year, the rest of the cycling community has been playing catch-up to match the value, performance and design of this bicycle. The carbon fiber frame is handmade in Waterloo, WI with Trek’s OCLV White carbon, producing unmatched stiff-to-weight performance while still maintaining good road feel. The comfort-enhancing seatmast, ultra-stiff “net-molded” bottom bracket and enhanced frame shaping found on the Astana pro bikes are found here, too. Shimano’s 10-speed Ultegra SL components are a perfect compliment to this frame and can be had with a double or triple crankset, along with the lightweight Bontrager Race wheelset. The geometry and fit of the WSD frame is complimented with a Bontrager WSD saddle for better comfort over long rides.

Carbon fiber is one of Trek’s major claims to fame, but not all of the Madone series is made from more expensive OCLV carbon. The Trek Carbon Technology incorporated into the Madone 4.7 and 4.7 WSD still allows for an incredible ride quality, while keeping the price lower. As close as a few feet, the frame shape looks extremely similar to the pro-level Madone bikes, and still produces comfortable road feel. The Shimano Ultegra components are available with a compact double or triple crankset to tame the meanest of hills. Bontrager’s Race wheels help keep the rotating weight down and performance

The WSD line has opened up road cycling for women that never found a good fit on road bicycles. For a rider looking for more performance at a more value-oriented price, the WSD line offers the Madone 4.7. The frame has the WSD geometry that allows for a better fit for a wider range of riders, from recreational to competitive. The carbon fiber frame of the Madone 4.7 WSD has been engineered to give a better ride quality, while still being stiff enough for excellent power transfer. The 10-speed Shimano Ultegra components are an excellent package for weekend riders and racers alike, with the crankset available as a compact double or a triple for easier climbing. Bontrager’s Race wheelset has a low spoke count and bladed spokes for easier rides into a headwind. The better fit of the frame

The Trek Madone 4.5 and 4.5 WSD is no “afterthought” bicycle. It has a TCT carbon fiber frame and Shimano 105 components for excellent performance and road comfort. Bontrager brings an excellent component collection to the bike as well: Race wheels, Race Lite stem, Race handlebars and a race saddle. There are no weak spots on this bike to make your best days on the bike even

With the 2009 2.3, Trek continues to keep the flagship of it’s aluminum/carbon-framed bicycle. Using custom-drawn Alpha Black aluminum tubing for the main triangle and TCT carbon fiber in the seat stays, the 2.3 has a light and efficient backbone with the same geometry as the performance fit Madone carbon bicycles. The agility and handling is the same as the Tour-winning all-carbon bicycles at a more affordable price. Shimano’s 105 components include the shifters, cassette and front derailleur with an Ultegra rear derailleur. Even the crankset -compact double or triple- is a Shimano 105 unit. Bontrager’s blade-spoked Race wheels and Race Lite tires make for a light and very aerodynamic combination. Bontrager handlebars, stem, saddle and seatpost complete an excellent bicycle. The Trek

The Trek 2.1 uses the same frame and fork as the 2.3, but with a more basic component selection. The FSA crankset is available as a compact double or triple, and is matched to Shimano Tiagra 9-speed shifters with a Shimano 105 rear derailleur. The Bontrager SSR wheels are light and durable for adventurous rides, and are shod with Bontrager Race Lite tires. The saddle, stem, seat and seatpost are also Bontrager components.
