This bicycle was produced by hand in Waterloo, WI, using the same molds and techniques as the Madone 6.9 SSL of the same year. The bicycle uses Trek's proprietary OCLV 110 carbon fiber material for very light weight and impressive torsional strength. An aggressive geometry provides nimble handling and lightning-fast pedaling response, especially during uphill, out-of-the-saddle efforts. Up front, a 1-1/8" Cane Creek external-cup headset holds the lightweight Bontrager Race X Lite OCLV 110 carbon fiber fork. The Madone's cables are all externally routed, allowing easy servicing in the field.
The Livestrong Madone bicycles feature real gold leaf panels on the top tube, down tube and seat tube. Lance Armstrong's signature appears across the top tube under the clearcoat. Yellow highlights and custom graphics adorn the bike and many of the components.
Shimano's 10-speed 7800 Dura Ace components are found throughout the bike, including the dual-control levers, both derailleurs, both multi-pivot brake calipers, and the 12-25T cassette. Long service life and precise operation can be expected for years to come from Shimano's best pro-level components. A Bontrager crankset with carbon fiber arms, 53/39T chainrings and matching custom graphics is an impressive centerpiece to the Livestrong Madone. Bontrager Race X Lite alloy wheels also feature custom yellow spokes and carbon fiber hubs, and are wrapped with 700x23mm Bontrager tires. A Bontrager carbon fiber seatpost, Bontrager saddle, Race XXX Lite carbon fiber stem and OCLV carbon fiber handlebar also boast custom yellow graphics.
This is a Project One version of the already high performance Emonda SLR 7. When the hills get really steep, you need a bike that is ready for any incline.
The Emonda SLR was made for making every hill easier. Sure, the frameset has some measure of Kammtail Virtual Foil (orKVF) frame shaping to slice through the air, but being light is top priority. How light? 698 grams for the bare frame. Trek's 800 Series OCLV carbon fiber is their lightest raw composite material, giving the engineers at Trek free reign to develop gravity-defying dream machines like the Emonda SLR. The material is 30% stronger than the previous 700 Series OCLV carbon fiber; a perfect starting point for a world-beating machine. Power transfer hasn't been forgotten, either. A rigid T47 bottom bracket makes every pedal stroke flex-free, even when attacking a hill out of the saddle. Internal cable routing and an aperture for a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately) in the left chainstay keeps the bike looking sleek. The Emonda SLR's H1.5 fit and geometry will fit a rider looking for a slightly more aggressive position, but without being mistaken for a pro.
The Emonda SLR 7's wheels are a perfect addition to this bike: The featherweight Aeolus RSL 37 Disc. Tipping the scales at a mere 1325 grams, this wheelset will make every acceleration close to completely effortless. They're tubeless ready, and boast a Dual Directional Design (or D3) rim profile that slices the air effectively while still resisting gusty crosswinds. 700x28c Bontrager R3 Hard-Case Lite tires offer a smoother ride experience while still cornering confidently.
Shimano's Ultegra electronic Di2 components make up the drivetrain, bringing lightning-quick operation, long service life, and very light weight. Electronic shifting delivers perfect shifting. Every. Single. Time. The shift buttons on the brake levers can be customized to favor right handers or left handers. A single charge can last 900 to 1,000 miles, depending on terrain and usage. The lithium ion battery is hidden in the seat tube, keeping it out of the wind and weather. This Emonda SLR 7 features an Ultegra crankset equipped with 50/34T compact chainrings. An 11-34T CS-HG800 11-speed cassette brings a huge gearing range to the party.
Hydraulic disc brakes aren't just for riding in the rain. The Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes found on this Emonda SLR 7 will also allow the rider to better predict stopping distances, thanks to better lever feedback. The flat-mount brake calipers reduce overall weight and promote more even pad wear.
Up front, this Emonda SLR 7 is equipped with an Aeolus RSL one-piece handlebar and stem unit. Built from OCLV carbon fiber, it weighs less than 300 grams. That's very little to add to the total weight of the bike! Channels under the handlebar allow for easy installation of hydraulic hosing and Di2 cables while keeping the front end of the bike very aero. A Bontrager Aeolus Elite saddle completes this high performance hill conqueror.
A Shimano DI2 charging cable is included in the purchase of this bicycle.
The Emonda SLR ultralight road bicycle has been an eye-opening performance machine for everyone who wants to tackle challenging terrain, from recreational road riders to pro-level racers. This Emonda SLR 7 eTap features SRAM's wireless eTap AXS 12-speed shifting, disc brakes and an extra dash of aero.
The Emonda SLR boasts a new carbon fiber "recipe" from Trek: 800 Series OCLV carbon fiber. With a frame weight of only 750 grams (that was not a misprint), the Emonda SLR is an incredible performance booster in hilly or mountainous terrain. Astounding lightness is not the only outcome when using this material. Improved torsional strength prevents frame-robbing flex with every pedal stoke. 800 Series OCLV carbon fiber also gave the engineers at Trek the leeway to add aerodynamic Kammtail shaping on the frame and fork. With a slipperier frameset, the latest version of the Emonda SLR will save a minute when riding 25 miles compared to the previous version. Internal cable routing and an aperture in the left chainstay for a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately) keeps the Emonda SLR looking clean and sleek.
This Emonda SLR 7 comes with SRAM's latest 12-speed Force eTap AXS component group, boasting wireless shifting. With a servo motor moving the derailleur instead of a cable, shifting accuracy is always perfect. Every. Single. Time. The lightning-quick shifting speed will even prolong the lifespan of your chain. Each derailleur is equipped with a lithium ion battery that can be removed for easy charging. A full charge will last roughly 60 hours of riding. The SRAM eTap AXS batteries are completely interchangeable, allowing the batteries to be swapped between derailleurs in case one loses charge before the other during a ride. Charge levels can be monitored with a SRAM AXS smartphone app that can also update the drivetrain's firmware. The Emonda SLR's Force 48/35T crankset is paired with a SRAM Force XG-1270 10-33T cassette, bringing a huge gearing range to the party.
The Emonda SLR 7's wheels are Bontrager's Aeolus Pro 37's, wrapped with Bontrager R3 Hard-Case Lite 700x25c tires. Weighing only 1500 grams a set, the Pro 37's eagerly spin up to speed and slice through the wind like a razor. The Dual Directional Design (or D3) rim profile is crosswind resistant as well as very aero for a 37mm profile. SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes perform brilliantly in all conditions, rain or shine.
Trek made sure the Emonda SLR 7's "furniture" would match the rest of the bike's capabilities. A One-piece OCLV carbon fiber Aeolus RSL handlebar and stem adds very little total weight to the bike, and keeps the cockpit very sleek. It has an aperture for a handlebar computer mount, eliminating the need for ugly strapwork. The Aeolus Elite saddle sits atop a Ride Tuned seatmast cap, completing this world-class performance machine.
A SRAM eTap battery charger is included with the purchase of this bicycle.
Breathtaking, isn't it? After years of in-house engineering and thousands of hours of road testing, Trek has produced an aero road bicycle that is nothing short of brilliant.
The Madone model started in 2004 as the original aero road bike: Lightweight, but equipped with tapered tube shapes and "tails" on the frame, allowing it to slice through the air more cleanly. This machine, the sleekest version yet of the Madone, takes aerodynamics very seriously. Fully internal brake hose routing and and Kammtail Virtual Foil (or KVF) frame shaping keeps the Madone's drag numbers astonishingly low. In fact, the only cable visible to the wind is found at the rear derailleur! But before a single aerodynamic line of the new Madone was drawn, the carbon fiber used to build the bike had to be revolutionary.
Trek's 800 Series OCLV carbon fiber is constructed of different qualities of raw carbon material, allowing the Madone's frameset to resist torsional twisting, maintain a smooth ride quality, and keep weight astonishingly low. By compacting the raw carbon fiber material during heated curing, Trek reduces the amount of resin needed for each frame, ensuring excellent quality control from the first frame to the last. Finite Element Analysis allowed the engineering team at Trek to refine every square inch of raw material used in the Madone's frame, so no extra carbon fiber will be found anywhere from the smallest size to the largest. Even the Madone's fork got the same obsessive attention to detail as the rest of the frame, including the same KVF shaping and all-carbon OCLV construction.
With all that going for it, the Madone design team could've call it a day. But they didn't. They had a long list of already-existing technologies that Trek had in its library to add to the Madone. Here's the short list:
- A tapered head tube that enhances handling, especially in high-speed turns and descents
- A threaded T47 bottom bracket, ensuring rock-solid power delivery through the crankset
- Trek's own adjustable IsoSpeed decoupler technology at the seat tube/down tube juncture that smoothes out rough pavement, keeping the rider fresher for longer
- An aperture in the left chainstay allows the installation of a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately) without the use of clumsy zip-ties
- An aero-shaped 3S chain keeper that prevents chain drop, and the greasy fingers and roadside delays that come with it
Shimano hasn't been caught napping either. Their latest 12-speed Ultegra Di2 components are also found through the Madone SLR 7. Yes, 12 speeds have come to Shimano road shifting. The shift levers are now wireless, eliminating pesky wiring to be routed through frames and under bar tape. The derailleurs are still connected to a central battery, and are recharged at a covered port on the rear derailleur. Recharging is needed about every 900-1,000 miles. Upgraded details on the Ultegra components deliver an even better riding experience:
- The shift buttons are slightly stepped, reducing the chance of mis-shifting with heavy gloves
- A single derailleur will work with all available 12-speed cassette sizes, from 11-28T to 11-34T
- Shimano's latest Servo Wave variable-ratio brake lever design gives even better feedback to help prevent skidding at high speeds
- The front derailleur shifts noticeably faster, allowing a rider put continuous force into the crankset while still preserving chain life
- A revised lever hood shape made with tackier rubber is even more comfortable
- The drivetrain's wireless signal allows the Ultegra components to communicate with handlebar computers from Garmin and Wahoo for displaying gearing
This Emonda SLR 7 was built through Trek's Project One program, allowing us to stock a slightly different parts specification than the version seen on the Trek website. Read on for more!
The Emonda SLR frame boasts Trek's lightest-ever "recipe" for their proprietary carbon fiber: 800 Series OCLV. As a result, the Emonda SLR's frame is one of the the lightest mass-manufactured road frames in the world. At only 650 grams for a 56cm in an H1.5 fit, the Emonda SLR is the starting point for a world-beating dream machine. The Emonda SLR's frame shaping adds an extra dash of aero, allowing the rider to slice through the air much better than the previous generation. How much better? About 60 seconds faster over 25 miles on the flats when compared to the previous generation Emonda SLR. The Emonda SLR can be built up with your choice of components, wheels and paint scheme for a one-of-a-kind high-performance road bike through their Project One program. For example, this in-stock Project One example features a 50/34T compact Ultegra crankset for tackling really steep inclines. The "regular" version of the Emonda SLR 7 runs a 52/36T Ultegra crankset.
This Emonda SLR 7 has been built with "stage race" geometry, providing nimble handling without being nervous or twitchy. The head tube is tapered, adding to the Emonda's torsional strength for a precise feel in high-speed corners and descents. The threaded T47 bottom bracket also improves torsional strength further, adding to the bike's snappy feel when accelerating uphill or during a sprint. Ride quality was also addressed when the Emonda SLR was being designed, and the no-cut Ride Tuned seat mast allows for a more vertically compliant frame. An aperture for a Bontrager DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately) in the left chainstay and internal cable routing keeps the Emonda looking clean and sleek without clumsy zip-ties. Flat mount disc brake caliper installation reduces overall frame weight and improves lever feel and feedback. The Emonda SLR's frame design allow for slightly wider tires up to 30mm, improving ride quality while tackling rough and choppy tarmac.
Shimano's 11-speed Ultegra R8050 Di2 components are found throughout the Emonda SLR 6, including the dual-control levers, derailleurs, 50/34T compact crankset,11-34T cassette and even the chain. Long life, precise operation and literally lightning-quick shifting are the hallmarks of Shimano's performance-oriented Ultegra Di2 component group. A fully charged battery Di2 will last upwards of 900-1,000 miles between recharges. The battery itself is installed in the seat tube, keeping it and the internal wiring out of the weather and wind.
Bontrager's tubeless-ready OCLV carbon fiber Aeolus Elite 35 wheelset and 700x25c R3 Hard-Case Lite tires add easy acceleration and a smooth feel to the Emonda SLR. The wheels boast Bontrager's race-proven Dual Directional Design (or D3) rim profile, allowing the wheelset to resist crosswinds while still slicing through the wind. The bare wheelset weighs less than 1800 grams, keeping with the Emonda SLR 7's lightweight concept. Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes are not only fantastic in the rain, they give the rider a much better sense of stopping distance in every condition. A Bontrager Aeolus Elite saddle and Ride Tuned seatmast cap bring a comfortable perch for the rider, especially while in an aggressive in-the-drops position. Bontrager also supplies the ultralight Aeolus RSL carbon fiber road handlebar-and-stem unit. By cleverly tucking the Di2 shift wiring and hydraulic hosing into a recessed channel under the handlebar, the Emonda SLR is a much more integrated bike without being a nightmare to mechanics. There's even an aperture at the bar's leading edge for a Garmin computer (sold separately) to complete the cockpit of this high-performance bicycle.
A Shimano Di2 charging cable is included with the purchase of this bicycle.
Trek's lineage in high performance bicycles goes back decades. When Trek's design team looked at how racing bikes were great for, well, racing but not for long days in the saddle over rough pavement, they brought in the Trek-Segafredo pro team. The designers asked the pros what they wanted for multi-hour rides and races over rough and choppy pavement, or even cobblestones. The designers in Waterloo refined their revolutionary approach to soaking up low- and high-frequency vibration: Trek's IsoSpeed decoupler. Found at the junction of the seat tube and top tube, the IsoSpeed decoupler allows the seat mast to flex much more freely, improving vertical compliance and reducing rider fatigue. The new version of the IsoSpeed unit is adjustable, allowing riders of different weights to dial in the perfect feel. A damper that has been added to the IsoSpeed unit keeps the bike from feeling like a pogo stick on washboard surfaces. Up front, there's an IsoSpeed unit at the top of the head tube, soaking up impacts on the way to the handlebar. The overall fit of the Domane series is more upright, allowing a wider range of riders -and rider flexibilities- to get comfortable for long hours in the saddle.
Trek's proprietary 700-series OCLV carbon fiber is used throughout the frame, minimizing excess resin use while keeping consistent weights throughout the manufacturing process. The Domane SLR's massive down tube is shaped using Power Transfer Construction, making the bike incredibly stiff for uphill, out-of-the-saddle sprints. A tapered head tube and all-carbon fork add a precise feel to the Domane's handling, especially during high-speed descents. Anchoring the bottom bracket is an oversized threaded T47 bottom bracket, adding another level of rigidity for instant pedaling response. Internal cable routing keeps the Domane SLR 7 looking clean and sleek. The Domane SLR has hidden fender mounts and eyelets, allowing the bike to be a versatile commuter, as well as a century-conqueror. An aperture for a ANT+ DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately) is found in the left chainstay, eliminating the need for clumsy zip ties. Rough roads can bounce a bike around, but the Domane's integrated 3S chain keeper prevents dropped chains (especially at critical moments on pave').The frameset is pro-level, and so is the Domane SLR 7's component list: Shimano's latest 12-speed Ultegra Di2 series. Unstoppable reliability, incredible performance and light weight are just a few of the descriptions given some of Shimano's best components. Ultegra Di2 components are found throughout the Domane SLR 7: Ultegra derailleurs, 50/34T compact crankset, adjustable-reach dual-control levers, 11-34T cassette, chain and hydraulic disc brakes. The dual-control levers are connected wirelessly to the 12-speed derailleurs (yes, 12 speeds) and the rechargeable battery mounted inside the frame. With Di2 shifting, every shift is perfect. Every. Single. Time. The new dual-control levers feature stepped shift buttons, making shifts more intuitive when wearing full finger gloves. Battery life is roughly 900-1,00 miles between charges.
Bontrager adds their brilliant Aeolus Pro 3V carbon fiber wheels to the Domane SLR 7's parts list. OCLV carbon fiber is used throughout the rim construction, ensuring a durable wheel as well as very light weight. The rim's Dual Directional Design -or D3- profile reduces drag while handling gusty crosswinds more effectively than a V-shaped profile. The Pro 3V's 25mm inner rim width allows the tire to spread out for a larger "footprint" on broken pavement, enhancing lateral grip. The Aeolus Pro 3V's bladed spokes add an extra dash of aerodynamic performance.
The Domane SLR 7's "furniture" was scrutinized to keep the rider comfortable. Bontrager supplies the OCLV carbon fiber Pro IsoCore handlebar that reduces vibrations. The elastomer built into the handlebar's structure soaks up vibrations from the road by 20% over a standard carbon fiber bar.
This bicycle can be customized with Treks Project One program. A wide array of component, color and sizes choices can be made to build your dream bike. Please call or stop into Machinery Row Bicycles for more details.
This is Trek's answer to the question: Who makes a world-beating cross-country mountain bike that can handle marathon length events?
The Top Fuel 9.9 could be the best full-suspension XC racer on the planet. It's absurdly light at less than 25 pounds (!!) when set up tubeless. The main frame and rear suspension arms are all made from Trek's exclusive OCLV Mountain carbon fiber, bringing incredible strength to handle every pedal stroke over rough trails. Every aspect of the main frame has been optimised for high performance without adding pounds. The frame's Straight Shot downtube eliminates plenty of material while enhancing torsional strength. Don't worry, the fork crown won't whack the down tube during a crash, thanks to a clever Knock Block steerer stop at the top of the head tube. Out back, the Active Braking Pivot (or ABP) full suspension geometry isolates braking forces from suspension movement, so every gnarly downhill hairpin won't feel like a major test of your riding talents. Control Freak internal cable routing, a tapered head tube, and downtube-mounted Carbon Armor are examples of the details that make every Trek Top Fuel mountain bike a clear leader in XC racing machines.
The air-adjustable RockShox Pike Ultimate suspension fork helps to tame rock gardens and challenging course features with ease. 120mm of travel soaks up impacts, while a bar-mounted lockout twist-lever shuts off the shock when charging along hardpan and jeep doubletrack. The rear shock is also a RockShox Deluxe Ultimate unit, bringing 115mm of travel and the aforementioned lockout function.
Trek chose SRAM's best off-road drivetrain for the Top Fuel 9.9: 12-speed Eagle AXS. Yes, this is the wireless shifting SRAM drivetrain for mountain bikes. Powered by a rechargeable Li-Ion battery, every shift is perfect. Every. Single. Time. The XX1 AXS rear derailleur can handle hard pedaling loads and poorly-timed shifts with ease. Plus, there's no shift cable or housing to get nasty in messy conditons! Cool, huh? A 10-50T SRAM Eagle rear cassette boasts a massive gearing range for roller-coaster trails and courses. Power delivery is done through a carbon fiber SRAM XX1 Eagle crankset with a single 32T direct-mount chainring.
Bontrager supplies the tubeless-ready OCLV carbon fiber Kovee Pro 30 wheelset. The 30mm-wide internal rim width allows the tire to spread out for better trail contact, enhancing lateral grip and reduce rolling resistance. Boost110/148 thru-axle hubs improve lateral rigidity, while a Rapid Drive 108 rear freehub makes pedaling response lightning-quick. With a total wheelset weight of only 1500 grams (without tires or cassette), the Top Fuel 9.9 will leap out of corners and hairpins like a jackrabbit! Bontrager's 29x2.4" XR3 Team Issue tires are also tubeless-ready, bringing bags of grip to any trail surface. SRAM Level Ultimate hydraulic disc brakes boast excellent stopping power in all conditions, rain or shine (or mud).
The Top Fuel 9.9's RockShox Reverb AXS dropper post is just as high-performance as the rest of the bike. It's wireless, using a bar-mounted remote lever for clean installation, and uses the same rechargeable battery as the SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS rear derailleur. A carbon-railed Montrose Pro saddle, Kovee Pro stem, OCLV carbon fiber Line Pro handlebar complete this world-beating off-road racer.
A SRAM eTap AXS battery charger is included with the purchase of this bicycle.
The Emonda SLR can lay claim to the title "most refined road bicycle" for several reasons. Trek began using their latest 800 Series OCLV carbon fiber with the Emonda SLR, ensuring the best raw material and construction techniques. Finite Element Analysis was used to eliminate any excess carbon fiber, keeping total frame weight incredibly low. How low? Just under 700 grams for the bare frame. The frame and fork boast Kammtail Virtual Foil (or KVF) shaping, allowing it to cleave through the wind better than any round-tubed bicycle. 25 miles can be covered a minute faster with the new Emonda SLR. That same shaping keeps weight down compared to full-aero road bikes that can feel like a sailboat in gusty crosswinds.
The engineers at Trek knew that small details can add up when building a high-performance road machine like the Emonda SLR. Instead of a conventional seatpost, a Ride Tuned seat mast helps smooth out rough pavement. An aperture in the Emonda's left chainstay is for installing a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately), eliminating the need for clumsy zip-ties. Room for 28mm road tires allows the Emonda SLR to handle rough and choppy pavement better than skinny rubber. A tapered head tube/steerer tube interface enhances torsional strength, adding sharpness to handling in high-speed turns and descents.
This Emonda SLR is equipped with SRAM's latest wireless 12-speed shifting technology called eTap AXS. Both derailleurs feature battery-driven servo motors to change gears, making every shift lightning-quick. The lack of physical connection eliminates cable routing headaches, and there are no cables or housing to foul or corrode. The batteries are detachable and will last 500-600 miles between charges. Battery status can be shown on the AXS smartphone app, too. The 48/35T Rival alloy crankset and 10-36T SRAM Rival cassette boast a wide gearing range for tackling challenging courses and hilly terrain. Did we mention that the Emonda SLR comes equipped with a SRAM power meter in the crankset's spindle?
The Emonda SLR's wheelset was developed in tandem with the bike. The Aeolus Pro 37's are built with OCLV carbon fiber rims in a "bullet-nosed" shape that resists crosswinds while still keeping drag very low. They're tubeless-ready, and come with valve stems and rim strips. Weighing in at roughly 1500 grams, these wheels are brilliant for criteriums, century rides and cyclocross but excel at climbing. They're shod with 700x25c tubeless Bontrager R3 Hard-Case Lite tires, bringing a smooth ride and confident grip to every mile. Reigning in speed is the job of the Emonda's hydraulic SRAM Rival disc brakes.
A SRAM AXS battery charger and tubeless tire sealant is included with the purchase of this bicycle.
Remember the first really long rides you did as a teenager?
Do you still ride long distances like that?
You still can.
Trek produced the Domane+ HP for riders wanting to return to that level of achievement and satisfaction. Or just get to work faster. Much faster. Trek's award-winning Domane platform is now the basis for their best power-assist road bicycle. The stable handling, long wheelbase and upright fit of the Domane+ HP allow a wider range of riders to get comfortable for long rides over pavement rough and smooth. The IsoSpeed decoupler that soaks up the impact of cobblestones at Paris-Roubaix is equally at home on a power-assist bike, allowing the rider to float over rough and choppy pavement. Room for tires up to 38mm wide permits adventurous riding on light gravel, depending on tire choices.
Trek's outstanding 500 Series OCLV carbon fiber forms the frame of the Domane+ HP, endowing the bike with incredible strength for instant pedaling response and power delivery. That material let the engineers at Trek run wild, producing a bike with innovations everywhere you look. A tapered head tube adds handling precision in every curve and descent. 12mm thru-axles not only make hub installation easier with disc brakes, but also adds to the bike's lateral strength to improve handling. Even the fork is carbon fiber, allowing the design team to bring a more planted feel to the Domane+ HP when tackling high speeds. The Removeable Integrated Battery -or RIB- hides inside the downtube, keeping a clean, sleek look we all want in a performance road bike. Removing the battery for recharging is easy, and its placement frees up space for a water bottle right where you expect it to be. There's even a recharging port of the left side of the bike's down tube if you want to charge it "on board". The Bosch battery itself is a 500Wh unit, and can be charged fully in roughly 4 hours from empty. Depending on power assist levels used, the Domane+ HP has an assisted range of up to 80 miles, and a top speed of up to 28mph. Yes, 28mph. It'll make the landscape fly by pretty fast if you want it to! The motor that allows the Domane+ HP to perform like that is Bosch's most powerful Performance Speed unit. With up to 350 watts and 85Nm of torque on tap, the Domane+ HP fears no incline, and is ready for rides with the fastest weekend group. A bar-mounted Bosch Kiox controller with a large color LCD display shows the 4 power-assist modes: Eco, Tour, Sport and Turbo.
The Shimano drivetrain on the Domane+ HP will feel familiar, with an 11-speed Shimano GRX dual-control lever covering shifting duties. A clutch-equipped Shimano GRX rear derailleur moves the chain across a wide-range 11-42T Shimano cassette with precision. Shimano's GRX hydraulic disc brakes help keep speed in check in all conditions, rain or shine. The calipers are installed flat-mount style on the frame and fork for even pad wear and better lever feedback. Bontrager supplies the tubeless-ready alloy Paradigm Comp 25 wheelset on the Domane+ HP, keeping rotating mass low for easier acceleration. Tubeless-ready 700x35c Schwalbe G-One Speed tires feature a shallow tread that improves confidence on dusty roads or low-profile gravel.
Long miles aren't much fun if the bike's touchpoints aren't up to snuff, but Trek has that covered. A Bontrager Aeolus Elite saddle boasts a classic road-style shape while featuring a comfortable central cutout. The adjustable Ride Tuned carbon fiber seatmast works better than any conventional seatpost. The slider under the frame's top tube can be adjusted at roadside, allowing for an easy change depending on distances or pavement conditions. Bontrager's alloy Elite IsoZone VR-CF road handlebar comes with a layer of elastomer underneath the bar tape, serving as a last line of defense against road harshness. Everyday convenience has been considered with the Domane+ HP with the addition of fender mounts and a chainstay-mounted kickstand. Road safety has been a recurring theme with many Trek products, and the Domane + shares in that theme with a set of daylight-visible, integrated Lync LED lights. Drawing power off the Bosch battery, the lights help to gain the attention of other road users, improving rider safety.
Those roads and group rides you enjoyed so much in the past? You can still enjoy them with the Domane +.
A Bosch home charger is included with the purchase of this bicycle.
Trek's Domane SLR 6 Disc is a brilliant machine for century rides, weekly rides and everything in between.
At Trek Bicycles, the tireless efforts of engineers and designers in Waterloo, Wisconsin have produced a bike that magazine editors and our customers have raved about: The Domane SLR. Before a single one is released to the public, the bikes are handed to Trek's professional racing team: Trek Factory Racing. These talented riders aren't just professional pedal-pushers. They provide detailed feedback to Trek's engineering staff for improvements or to rave about a new bike's success. Classics king and multiple World Champion Fabian Cancellara had a hand in developing the original 2013 Trek Domane, and its successors have turned out to be one of Trek's best-selling and best-performing bikes for competitors and recreational riders alike.
Somehow, the latest Domane SLR is even better.
Trek begins with their exclusive OCLV 700 Series carbon fiber for the frame and fork. This ultralight material is a "recipe" of different carbon fiber materials strategically placed to add strength where needed, and add compliance in the right places for improved rider comfort. Shaping that carbon fiber allows the Domane SLR to be incredibly effective at delivering power from the crankset to the rear wheel without power-robbing flex in the frame. Where the Domane SLR excels is in the frame's compliance over rough pavement and cobblestones. Featuring the same IsoSpeed Decoupler found on the first-generation Domane, the Domane SLR boasts a new twist for better ride quality for a wider range of riders: Adjustability. The new Domane SLR features a slider under the top tube that can be adjusted in the field using a simple torque wench. By moving the slider forwards or backwards, the L-shaped seatmast becomes more or less flexible, soaking up broken pavement and potholes. In fact, the Domane SLR can be made more compliant than the original Domane 6-series. When moving the slider up to the top of the limit, the rear of the bike can be made stiffer, allowing better road feel during sweeping descents and turns on more civilized tarmac. The Domane SLR's fork has also gone through a revolution with front IsoSpeed. By adding a decoupler hidden at the top of the fork's steerer tube, the Domane SLR has 10% greater compliance than the previous version (which was pretty comfy to begin with), keeping the rider's hands, arms and shoulders more comfortable.
The details on the the Domane SLR make a huge difference in performance. The bike's threaded T47 bottom bracket offers a super-stiff anchor for the bike's crankset, returning every watt of power that the rider puts into it. A tapered head tube also adds precision to the bike's handling in high-speed turns and under hard braking. The Domane SLR 6 eTap sees flat-mount disc brake installation that reduces lateral flex in the caliper, improving brake lever feel and brake pad life. 12mm thru-axles not only simplify wheel installation with disc brakes, but also improve the frame's lateral rigidity for better power transfer and handling. The Domane SLR 6 eTap can be found in sizes as small as 47cm with a standover height as short as 27". The Domane's Endurance fit and geometry allows a wide range of rider sizes -and rider flexibilities- to get comfortable for multiple hours in the saddle. There is an aperture for a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately) in the left chainstay that eliminates the need for ugly zip-ties. The Domane SLR also retains the removeable fender mounts from the previous generation, appealing to riders in wet climates and seasons. There's even an integrated 3S chain keeper that prevents dropped chains and greasy fingers.
The Domane SLR 6 eTap is equipped with SRAM's latest 12-speed Rival eTap AXS wireless components for high performance, long service life and light weight. Shifting speed is literally lightning-quick, and never suffers from corroded or dirty cables. Battery charge life is between 500-600 miles, and the batteries are reversible between front and rear derailleurs, allowing shifting in case one battery runs out. You can even check on the battery charge levels with a SRAM AXS smartphone app. The adjustable-reach dual-control levers, front and rear derailleurs, 46/33T alloy crankset, 10-36T cassette and even the chain are SRAM Rival components. The aformentioned hydraulic disc brakes allow a much wider tire (up to 38mm) to be used on the Domane SLR compared to classic rim brake calipers.
Bontrager's OCLV carbon fiber Aeolus Pro 3V wheels are tubeless-ready and sport a 25mm width for a better tire-to-road contact patch, adding to the bike's excellent ride quality. 32mm Bontrager R3 hard-Case Lite tires add confident grip, making the Domane SLR 6 eTap more sure-footed. Bontrager also supplies the ingenious carbon fiber Pro IsoCore VR-SF road handlebar, which is the
With electronic shifting, IsoSpeed technology, disc brakes and carbon fiber construction, what else could you possibly need in a road bike?
Yes, the Domane SL 7 Disc seems to check all the boxes. Trek's brilliant 500 Series OCLV carbon fiber makes the Domane SL 7 incredible in so many ways: Feather-lightness, incredible torsional strength and sublime ride quality. The overall fit -called Endurance Geometry with a more upright posture- lets a wide range of riders and rider flexibilities get comfortable on century rides and over rough roads. The real genius of the Domane carbon fiber road bikes is, of course, IsoSpeed technology. The seat tube and no-cut seatmast are held to the rest of the frame with a pair of cartridge bearings and a pivot at the seat tube/top tube juncture. This allows the Domane SL 7 eTap to absorb impacts better than any road bike out there. Potholes, railway crossings and gravel trails are no longer tooth-rattling experiences. IsoSpeed tech is even found at the top of the head tube, giving the handlebars an extra few millimeters of flex when hitting rough and choppy pavement. Cool, huh? If riding up steep hills is a regular thing where you live, the Domane's Power Transfer Construction eliminates power-robbing flex, especially during out-of-the-saddle efforts. A threaded T47 bottom bracket anchors the SRAM Force crankset for an even more rock-solid feel at the pedals. The frame's dropouts are 12mm thru-axles instead of classic "open" dropouts, making installation error-free with disc brakes. The thru-axles also anchor the frame's rear triangle and fork tips, adding an extra dash of pedaling response and handling sharpness. There's room for tires up to 38mm wide, giving the Domane SL 7 eTap versatility over ugly surfaces and a wider range of tire choices. An aperture for a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately) in the left chainstay makes for clean installation without clumsy zip-ties. An adjustable 3S chain keeper helps prevent dropped chains, roadside delays and greasy fingers. SRAM’s wireless Force eTap AXS drivetrain is nothing short of astounding. With lightning-quick gear changes, every shift is perfect. The charge of each battery (one for each derailleur) is about 500-600 miles, depending on frequency of gear changes. The batteries can even be swapped between each derailleur, in case one runs low. You can see the charge level of the batteries at any time with the SRAM AXS smartphone app. A 12-speed freehub brings the widest gearing range ever found on the Domane SL 7 model. A 46/33T SRAM Force crankset and a 10-33T SRAM Force cassette makes hilly centuries and “challenge” rides less, well, challenging. Did we mention the wireless power meter in the crankset as well? Now you can measure your efforts and refine your training. The SRAM Force AXS dual control levers feature large shift buttons, making shifting much simpler while wearing long-finger gloves. The brake levers also feature an adjustable reach to accommodate smaller hands and shorter fingers. Rolling stock for the Domane SL 7 eTap are set of Bontrager OCLV carbon fiber Aeolus Pro 3V carbon fiber wheels. They’re tubeless-ready and at only 1575 grams with a 30mm aero profile, the Aeolus Pro 3V’s will make short work of hilly and windy rides. The 25mm wide rim allows a given tire size to spread out its contact patch, enhancing control and reducing rolling resistance. Bladed stainless steel spokes add and extra dash of aero when battling headwinds. A Rapid Drive 108 freehub allows ultra-fast pedaling engagement, nearly eliminating “free play” with every turn of the pedals at the bottom of every hill. They’re wrapped with 700x32c Bontrager R2 Hard-Case Lite tires, making every mile smooth and fast. SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes bring confident stopping power in all conditions, rain or shine. Trek didn’t forget about the Domane SL 7 eTap’s “furniture”. A new Bontrager P3 Verse Comp saddle sits atop a carbon fiber seatmast, offering a comfortable perch for long days on the road. The alloy Bontrager Elite IsoZone VR-SF road handlebar is a last line of defense against road harshness. An accessory-ready alloy Bontrager Pro Blendr stem can fit a computer and a daylight-visible headlight. A SRAM AXS battery charger and Bontrager BITS internal frame storage bag is included with the purchase of this bicycle.
The current generation Madone has set a very high standard for aero road bikes. Now all that performance can be had for less...
Trek's current Madone has helped pro racers win some of the most prestigious victories in professional racing, including the 2019 world road championships in Yorkshire. Attaining that technological masterpiece is not quite as expensive as it used to be. Welcome to the Madone SL 7 eTap.
The Madone has been acclaimed as a brilliant aero bike, with very low drag to cheat the wind. The original Madone SLR Disc also boasts incredibly good ride quality -not just for an aero bike, but for road bikes in general- due to an adjustable IsoSpeed seat mast. This clever element of the Madone SLR is also found on the Madone SL's frame. It uses a slider on the base of the L-shaped IsoSpeed structure under the top tube. By moving the slider forward or backward, the seatmast can be made stiffer or softer, depending on rider weight, expected riding surfaces or ride distance. Triathletes will appreciate this, knowing that a smooth ride will benefit them during the run. Century riders will also smile, knowing the bike will still be smooth on broken tarmac. Racers will like IsoSpeed since the freshest rider is most likely the fastest in the final sprint to the finish.
Very light weight is still part of the Madone SL's attributes, thanks to Trek's exclusive 500 Series OCLV carbon fiber used throughout the frame. By using newer flat-mount disc brake installation and an H1.5 fit geometry, the frame of the Madone SL 7 eTap cuts weight in the right places. Like the current Madone SLR, Kammtail Virtual Foil (or KVF) tube shaping in used throughout the Madone SL's frame and fork, making the bike one of the slipperiest road bicycles today. The flattened trailing edge of the frame and fork tubes (the "Kammtails") make the bike far more resistant to gusty crosswinds compared to a classic teardrop shape, as well as cutting weight off the bike. An aperture in the left chainstay for a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately) cuts aero drag by eliminated the need for clumsy zip-ties. Even the 3S chain keeper at the crankset has been given the low-drag treatment. A stout T47 threaded bottom bracket anchors the crankset for flex-free power delivery with every pedal stroke.
SRAM's Force AXS wireless electronic shifting isn't just about eliminating cables or wires. It delivers incredibly fast and precise gear changes. Every. Single. Time. Even under hard pedaling loads, the derailleurs snap from one cog or chainring to the next without hesitation. Each derailleur has an interchangeable battery with a charge life of about 500-600 miles. If one battery runs out before the other, they can be swapped to help finish a ride. A SRAM AXS smartphone app allows the user to determine battery charge, and even update the drivetrain's firmware. Cool, huh? A 48/35T SRAM Force carbon fiber crankset and a 10-33T SRAM XG-1270 cassette bring a wide gearing range to the Madone SL 7. Did we mention the integrated SRAM Force power meter in the crankset? With a Garmin or Wahoo handlebar computer (sold separately), you can get a better look at your training and meet your fitness and race goals.
Bontrager brings the new tubeless-ready carbon fiber Aeolus Pro 51 wheelset to the Madone SL 7, adding a very aero profile for high speed performance. Bladed straight-pull spokes add and extra dash of aero to every mile. 700x25c Bontrager H3 Hard-Case Lite tires adds confidence during high speed turns and descents. SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes help reign in speed in all conditions, wet or dry.
The Madone SL 7 eTap's "cockpit" consists of Bontrager's aero-bar friendly alloy Elite Aero VR-CF handlebar mounted on an accessory-ready alloy Bontrager Pro Blendr stem. A Bontrager Aeolus Comp saddle (shaped for riders who like an aggressive position on the bike) sits atop a micro-adjust Madone carbon fiber seatmast.
A SRAM AXS battery charger is included with the purchase of this bicycle.

Welcome to the new Top Fuel for 2022. More versatile, more travel, more fun!
The Top Fuel platform got a redesign for 2022, with an aim towards improving the bike's prowess on technical trails. A slightly longer top tube and slacker head angle gives the Top Fuel a more confident feel on technical descents and rough trail features. With the Top Fuel 9.8, Trek still uses their world-class OCLV Mountain carbon fiber in the frame and rear triangle, ensuring very light weight and high strength. Steep inclines and twisty singletrack remain the Top Fuel 9.8's playground.
Trek's proprietary Active Braking Pivot (or ABP) rear suspension has a unique design that isolates braking forces from the action of the rear suspension. The concentric rear pivot allows the shock to work smoothly in all conditions, from washboard hardpan to stair-step descents. The ABP suspension's lower front pivot is also in line with the top of the chainring, eliminating any wasted energy during hard pedaling. With rear suspension travel bumped up to 120mm, the Top Fuel 9.8 is more capable than ever. An air-adjustable RockShox Deluxe Ultimate RCT shock features adjustable rebound for perfect fine tuning for different trail conditions, riding styles and rider weights. The lower shock mount is also a reversible Mino Link. By flipping the Mino Link, the geometry of the Top Fuel 9.8 can be changed, depending on rider preferences and trail conditions. The rear shock works though an ultra-stiff magnesium rocker link that helps keep the rear suspension working smoothly.
The details found on every carbon fiber full suspension bike from Trek are still there.
-A tapered head tube that anchors the suspension fork, improving handling and front braking -Oversized down tube with Internal Frame Storage and BITS tool roll -Control Freak internal cable routing for rattle-free riding and easy cable servicing -Downtube guard to deflect gravel spray off the front tire -An updated Knock Block headset that prevents the handlebar from smashing the top tube
Up front, an air-adjustable RockShox SID Select+ suspension fork does handling duties. 120mm of travel matches the Top Fuel's rear suspension, while a 15mm thru-axle adds an extra dash of razor-sharpness to every technical trail.
Shimano's proven 12-speed Deore XT components make up the drivetrain of the Top Fuel 9.8. The 12-speed shifter, clutch-equipped rear derailleur, 30T single-ring crankset, 10-51T cassette and even the chain are Shimano XT components. The RapidFire shifter boasts a dual-action lever that shifts to a smaller cog with either a push or a pull. That massive cassette is a mixture of aluminum and steel assembled in a lightweight package and backed by a flex-resistant 1-piece spider. The 30T chainring is a direct-mount unit, keeping overall crankset weight low.
Bontrager's Line Elite 30 OCLV carbon fiber tubeless wheels make for brilliant rolling stock on the Top Fuel 9.8. A 29mm internal rim width offers a meaty platform for the bike's Bontrager XR 4 Team Issue 29x2.4" tires. The thru-axle rear hub sports a Rapid Drive 108 cassette that allows for much faster engagement when pedaling out of hairpins and uphill curves. Reigning in speed is the job of Shimano's Deore XT 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes. Yes, just like on a MotoGP bike, more pistons make for better braking performance.
What would a full-suspension mount bike be without a dropper post? The Top Fuel 9.8 is equipped with a Line Elite dropper post that gets the saddle out of the way with the push of the bar-mounted remote lever. A Bontrager Arvada saddle sits atop the dropper post, bringing a comfy perch to the bike. The Bontrager Line Pro OCLV carbon fiber handlebar has a 35mm clamp diameter, and is mated to an alloy Bontrager Line Pro Knock Block stem.
The Top Fuel family brings World Cup performance to you, making every inch of trail go by that much faster.
When Trek revived the Top Fuel moniker, it knew it had to keep the incredible features from the Fuel EX line that make it such a world-beater in trail bikes. The Active Braking Pivot -or ABP- rear suspension geometry makes the Top Fuel a true standout in full-suspension cross country mountain bikes. Instant reaction to changing surfaces and terrain, as well as zero shock compression during hard braking make the Top Fuel a winner in the arena of cross country race machines. Adding all that race-bred tech to an OCLV Mountain carbon fiber frame elevates the Top Fuel 9.8 GX beyond its competitors, ensuring feather-light weight and incredible torsional strength. Trek's XC frame geometry has been proven time and again during cross-country races around the world, and that geometry is found on the Top Fuel as well. A tapered head tube adds an extra dash of razor-sharpness to the Top Fuel's handling, while a press-fit PF92 bottom bracket anchors the SRAM crankset for flex-free power delivery. Control Freak internal cable routing keeps the Top Fuel 9.8 GX looking clean and sleek with no rattles, while carbon armor under the down tube resists flying gravel and debris. The Top Fuel's overall geometry can be tweaked slightly by rotating the Mino Link suspension pivot at the top of the rear stays. Want a more relaxed geometry? simply rotate the Mino Link to get a slacker head angle for a more stable feel.
Out back, the Top Fuel 9.8 GX is equipped with an air-adjustable RockShox SID Luxe Ultimate shock, helping to keep the bike anchored to rough singletrack. From small-bump compliance to hard landings, the SID Lux Ultimate rear shock responds to everything with just the right amount of response, keeping you in control with 115mm of travel. Up front, an air-adjustable RockShox SID Select+ suspension fork helps tackle rock gardens and root "fun houses" with 120mm of travel. A meaty 15mm Maxle Stealth thru-axle keeps the front wheel where you point it, while a 2-position damper adds even more control, depending on rider preference.
SRAM has been at the forefront of mountain bike component tech, and their latest 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle components are no exception. A SRAM Eagle GX shifter and Eagle GX Roller Bearing Clutch rear derailleur operate with lightning-quickness, even under hard pedaling loads. A 12-speed SRAM 10-52T cassette and carbon fiber SRAM Stylo Eagle crankset with a direct-mount 32T chainring offers a massive gearing range for challenging trails and climbs. A SRAM GX Eagle chain is there to make sure shifting and power transfer is all top-notch. Bontrager's tubeless-ready Kovee Elite 30 carbon fiber wheels are shod with tubeless-ready XR3 Team Issue tires, bringing bags of grip and easy acceleration to the Top Fuel 9.8 GX. The Kovee Elite wheelset features Boost110/148 hubs, adding wider flanges for improved lateral rigidity in the wheels. Helping to keep speed reigned in is a set of SRAM G2 RS 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes, delivering confident stopping power in all conditions, rain or shine (or mud). A Ti-railed Bontrager Montrose Elite saddle sits atop an alloy Bontrager Line Elite dropper seatpost. A bar-mounted lever gets the saddle out of the way with a single push. An alloy Bontrager Kovee Pro stem and Line Pro OCLV carbon fiber handlebar complete this race-ready machine.
The Trek Checkpoint SL 7 eTap isn't just a newly-equipped version of last year's machine. The Checkpoint SL frame got a full redesign! Read on for more details...
The Checkpoint SL models of the previous generation were overwhelmingly popular with our customers. Sprightly handling, butter-smooth feel, and practical mounting points made it one of the best gravel bikes on the market. Trek decided to appeal to the adventurous riders for the 2022 season by redesigning the geometry slightly and make the Checkpoint even more useful. Trek used their proven 500 Series OCLV carbon fiber in the new frameset, producing a light and strong backbone for the Checkpoint SL 7 eTap. The overall frame shaping improves torsional strength, while keeping overall weight low. Trek's exclusive IsoSpeed technology is found at the top tube/seat tube juncture, delivering a very smooth ride quality. The threaded T47 bottom bracket, tapered head tube and thru-axle dropouts enhance the bike's torsional strength further, improving power delivery and overall handling. The geometry changed for the 2022 Checkpoint, with a 2cm longer top tube (and shorter stem) that bestows more stable handling. Mountain bikes designed with similar "progressive" geometry are far more adept in twisty and technical terrain without feeling awkward. Descending washed-out fire roads can be done with increased confidence. Mounts for racks, bottle cages and fenders are still there, but Trek added an internal storage compartment in the down tube for tools and a repair kit. There are bottle mounts on the fork blades as well. The underside of the down tube boasts a polymer Carbon Armor shield for defending against flying debris from the front tire. Internal cable routing keeps the Checkpoint's hydraulic hoses tucked away from abrasive environments. There's room for even wider 700x45c tires for really challenging trails and surfaces.
The 12-speed SRAM Force eTap AXS drivetrain adds an extra piece of technology to an already high performance bike: Wireless shifting! By eliminating any wiring or cables between the shifters and derailleurs, the rider has one less thing to deal with during truly sloppy rides and adventures. SRAM's wireless eTap AXS shifting is literally lightning-quick. Every. Single. Time. Shifting under hard pedaling loads isn't a problem anymore, and the battery life between charges is usually between 500-600 miles. The lithium-ion batteries mounted on each derailleur can be removed and charged off the bike, making storage more convenient. This SRAM Force eTap AXS group has a 43/30T Force crankset paired with a 10-36T SRAM XG-1270 cassette, delivering a very wide gearing range. Ugly terrain? Plenty of gear on board? The Checkpoint SL 7 eTap is ready.
Wheels can make a big difference to any bicycle, and Trek equipped with Checkpoint SL 7 eTap with a high performance set: Bontrager's Aeolus Pro 3V's. With tubeless-ready OCLV carbon fiber rims, bladed straight-pull spokes and impressively low weight, the Pro 3V's help you scramble over surfaces rough and smooth. The D3 (Dual Directional Design) rim profile resists crosswinds while slicing through headwinds with ease. A 25mm interior rim width allows tires (as narrow as 32mm) to spread out for improved grip. The rear hub features a Rapid Drive 108 cassette freehub that engages with nearly zero free-play; a useful bonus when half-pedaling across rocky creek beds and broken campground trails. Bontrager also supplies the 700x40c GR1 tubeless-ready tires for outstanding grip on rough hardpan and gravel. SRAM's hydraulic Force disc brakes helps keep speed reigned in, no matter the weather.
Bontrager also supplies the carbon fiber seatpost, P3 Verse Comp saddle, accessory-ready alloy Pro stem, and alloy short-reach GR Elite handlebar, finishing off this high tech adventure machine.
A SRAM eTap AXS battery charger is included with the purchase of this bicycle.

The battery can also be locked to the bike with the same key as the Bosch RIB battery. A Bosch battery charger is included with the purchase of this bicycle.
We at Machinery Row have become somewhat jaded when it comes to new bikes, but this one shook us out of our doldrums. The new Supercaliber 9.7 from Trek might be their best off-road racer in years. It handles like a dream, is oh-so smooth over the rough stuff, and is absurdly, stupifyingly light. Run the tires tubeless, and it might get below 25 pounds depending on frame size.
And that's not even the best part.
It's World Cup ready, straight out of the box. It can tackle torturous ascents, technical singletrack and twisty courses with the best racing machines on the planet. There aren't many mountain bikes that can say that. Trek's own OCLV Mountain carbon fiber is used throughout the frame, bestowing incredibly light weight and a supremely strong chassis on the Supercaliber. A tapered head tube and press-fit bottom bracket add torsional strength for precision handling. The oversized Straight Shot downtube is another weight-reducing element, adding to the Supercaliber's climbing chops, especially when out of the saddle.
A starring feature of the Supercaliber 9.7 is the integrated IsoStrut rear suspension that boasts 60mm of travel. By changing the rear triangle's carbon fiber "recipe", Trek was able to eliminate the rearmost pivot normally found on a mountain bike's rear suspension. The seat stays of the rear triangle flex just enough to soak up choppy singletrack, improving control and allowing the rider to stay fresher on challenging terrrain. The air-adjustable Fox Performance shock offers a very smooth feel, has adjustable rebound and even has a remote lockout lever. Cool, huh? Pivots above the bottom bracket, a 12mm rear thru-axle, and a stout anchor bolt at the shock prevent power-robbing torsional and lateral flex. Up front, an air-adjustable Reba RL suspension fork brings 100mm of travel to the party. A Motion Control damper and bar-mounted remote lockout lever lets the rider customize the shock's feel in the heat of battle. A 15mm thru-axle fork dropout and boost110 hub spacing add an extra dash of handling precision.
All that is a pretty hard act to follow! But Trek was very particular about what to equip the Supercaliber 9.7 with. Shimano's 12-speed SLX shifter and XT long-cage rear derailleur are up to the job, adding lightning-quick shifting and long service life to the bike. An alloy E*thirteen Helix crankset with a direct-mount 32T chainring does power delivery duties with surprising lightness. A massive 10-51T Shimano SLX cassette brings a 510% gearing range to roller-coaster race courses and challenging terrain. Rolling stock consists of Bontrager's tubeless-ready Kovee Elite 30 wheels. Constructed of OCLV Pro carbon fiber, they weigh about 1700 grams (!!) and have a 29mm inner rim dimension. Wider rims offer better tire support for a better "footprint" on crumbly surfaces. Cross-country rubber consists of tubeless-ready 29x2.20" Bontrager XR2 Team Issue tires. Stopping power is found at the Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, bringing excellent lever feedback and effective stopping power to the Supercaliber in all conditions, wet or dry. A Bontrager P3 Verse Elite saddle, Comp alloy seatpost, Elite 35 Knock Block stem and alloy Kovee Elite handlebar complete this World-beating rocketship.
This might be the best entry level to a carbon fiber road machine with electronic shifting. Trek's Emonda SL 6 eTap shares the same Kammtail Virtual Foil (or KVF) aero frame shape as its big brother SLR version. This feature alone will save you a minute over 25 miles compared to the previous Emonda SL version. But the reason Trek built the Emonda is all about lightness...
With a sub-19 pound build, the Emonda SL 6 eTap will make every hill just a bit easier to tackle. Trek's 500 Series OCLV carbon fiber is a proven material to build outstanding performance road bicycles. A rock-solid T47 bottom bracket ensures no energy is wasted with every pedal stroke; perfect for attacking steep inclines and sprinting away from the peloton. Internal brake hosing and a chainstay aperture for a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately) keeps the Emonda SL 6 looking clean and sleek.
SRAM's wireless Rival eTap AXS component group lowers the threshold for every rider looking for lightning-quick shifting, precise operation and a wide gearing range.
Emonda SL 6 Disc has all the advantages of an ultralight carbon road bike, with the added benefit of aero tube shaping that will make you faster on flats and up climbs, too.

For Trek Bicycles, bringing a new road bike to the world requires the tireless efforts of engineers and designers in Waterloo, Wisconsin. When prototypes are completed, the bikes are handed to Trek's Pro Team: Trek-Segafredo. These talented riders aren't just professional pedal-pushers. They provide detailed feedback to Trek's engineering staff for improvements or to rave about a new bike's success.
Trek starts building the frame of the Domane SLR with their proprietary OCLV 600 Series carbon fiber for frame and fork construction. This material is a "recipe" of different carbon fiber materials strategically placed to add strength where needed, and add compliance in the right places for improved rider comfort. Shaping that carbon fiber allows the Domane SLR to be incredibly effective at delivering power from the crankset to the rear wheel without energy-robbing flex in the frame. Where the Domane SLR excels is in the frame's compliance over rough pavement and cobblestones. Featuring the same IsoSpeed Decoupler found on the first-gen Domane, the Domane SLR boasts a new twist for better ride quality for a wider range of riders: Adjustability. The new Domane SLR features a slider at the back of the seat tube that can be adjusted in the field using a simple torque wench. By moving the slider up or down, the seatmast becomes more or less flexible. Whether soaking up rough and choppy pavement, or just making a railway crossing less harsh, the Domane SLR can be the smoothest bike on the road. In fact, the Domane SLR can be made more compliant than the original Domane 6-series by 14%. When moving the slider up to the top of the limit, the rear of the bike can be made stiffer, allowing better road feel during sweeping descents and turns on more civilized tarmac. The Domane SLR's fork has also gone through a revolution with front IsoSpeed. By adding a decoupler hidden at the top of the fork's steerer tube, the Domane SLR has 10% greater compliance than the previous version (which was pretty comfy to begin with), keeping the rider's hands, arms and shoulders more comfortable. A comfortable rider is also less likely to make mistakes when judging speed and traffic after hours in the saddle. The Domane SLR's BB90 bottom bracket offers a super-stiff anchor for the bike's crankset, returning every watt of power that the rider puts into it. A tapered head tube also adds precision to the bike's handling in high-speed turns and under hard braking. The Domane SLR 6 Disc sees flat-mount disc brake installation that reduces lateral flex in the caliper, improving brake lever feel and brake pad life. 12mm thru-axles not only simplify wheel installation with disc brakes, but also improve the frame's lateral rigidity for better power transfer.
Making the Domane SLR perform better than the previous version was only the start. Trek wanted to keep all the details that helped make the 1st-gen Domane so complete, like the aperture for a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor in the left chainstay that eliminates the need for ugly zip-ties. The Domane SLR also keeps the removeable fender mounts for riders in wet climates and seasons. There's even an integrated 3S chain keeper that prevents a dropped chain on broken pavement and potholes. The same seatmast cap found on the previous Domane (and current Emonda SL and SLR) is used on this Domane SLR.
The Domane SLR 6 is equipped with Shimano's 11-speed Ultegra R8000 components for high performance, long service life and light weight. The adjustable-reach dual-control levers, front and rear derailleurs, 50/34T compact crankset, 11-32T cassette and even the chain are Ultegra components. Imrovements from the previous generation of Ultegra components include a larger capacity for the rear derailleur, improved lever hood shape and a stiffer crankset. The aformentioned Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes allow a much wider tire to be used on the Domane SLR compared to classic rim brake calipers.
Bontrager's alloy Paradigm Comp wheels are tubeless-ready and sport a 19.5mm width for a better tire-to-road contact patch, adding to the bike's excellent ride quality. 700x32c Bontrager R3 hard-Case Lite tires bring confident grip to the party, making the Domane SLR 6 Disc more sure-footed. Bontrager also supplies the Pro IsoCore VR-CF alloy road handlebar, which is the last line of defense on the bike against tiring vibration. An accessory-ready alloy Bontrager Pro stem makes handlebar computer and light mounting a snap (literally!). A Bontrager Arvada Elite saddle tops off the Ride Tuned seatmast cap to complete this excellent Classics-conquering machine.
When the first-gen Emonda SLR appeared, jaws dropped everywhere. It was light. Like, science-fiction light.
Trek has somehow managed to make a lighter version of the Emonda's SLR frame, but can run disc brakes.
Let that soak in for a second. The disc-brake-ready version of the Emonda SLR frame weighs in at an absurd 665 grams for a 56cm frame (H1 fit). The disc brake fork is also an all-carbon unit, and weighs only 350 grams. That's actually lighter than the previous-gen caliper-brake version. How did the mad scentists at Trek in Waterloo do it?! They started with a revamped version of their in-house 700 Series OCLV carbon fiber material. The qualities of this year's 700 Series OCLV carbon is different due to changes in raw material, layup schedule and resin formulation. With the aid of in-house digital prototyping, the Emonda SLR's frame design also went through refinements from stem to stern. The hourglass-shaped top tube and stouter chainstays are the more obvious clues to the new Emonda SLR's changes, while 12mm thru-axles add torsional anchor points for better power delivery and handling. The tapered head tube and BB90 bottom bracket are still there, but they function better with the improved frame architecture and material "recipe". Aerodynamics didn't enter into the equation; only lightness and ride quality mattered when the Emonda SLR Disc was under development. Internal cable routing keeps the Emonda SLR Disc looking sleek, while an aperture in the left chainstay for a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately) eliminates the need for clumsy zip-ties. The ride quality was improved with the new 700 Series OCLV, giving the Emonda SLR a smoother feel over rough pavement.
Equipping the Emonda SLR with Shimano's excellent 11-speed Ultegra R8000 components was an easy choice. Known for light weight, precise functionality, and overall durability, Ultegra components just work well for racers and recreational riders alike. The dual-control STI levers require less effort to shift than the previous generation, and still boast an adjustable lever reach for smaller hands. The tucked-in Shadow-style rear derailleur can handle much larger cassettes while shifting better under hard pedaling loads. The front derailleur's toggle-pivot design also requires less effort to operate. An alloy Ultegra 50/34T crankset and 11-32T Ultegra cassette bring a wide gearing range to every challenging ride. Hydraulic disc brakes aren't just for riding in the rain; better lever feedback and improved stopping power makes for safer braking in any conditions, wet or dry.
High performance can be found in the Emonda SLR's rolling stock as well. Bontrager's alloy Paradigm Comp wheels are disc-specific, and are tubeless-ready. They're shod with Bontrager's R3 Hard-Case Lite tires. Bontrager also supplies the saddle, accessory-ready alloy Blendr stem and alloy road handlebar.
The 50cm example in black/gunmetal we have is an H1 fit, rather than the more upright H2 fit.
Aero road. Those two words carry plenty of weight these days. A sleek bike that practically encourages solo breakaways. Other aero road bikes have been saddled with a punishing ride quality and pudgy numbers on the scale. But not the Madone SLR.
Trek took a close look at the previous-gen Madone 9-series and looked at what worked and what could be improved upon. The new Madone SLR bikes are all constructed of Trek's premiere 700 Series OCLV carbon fiber, allowing the engineers free reign when designing in aerodynamics, lightness and torsional strength. The overall shape of the current (and previous) Madone road bicycles comes from a demanding field in aerodynamic design: Le Mans sportscars. When long-tail racing cars proved to be unstable in crosswinds, designers lopped off some of the tapered rear end of the cars. They discovered that the change had almost no effect on top speed, but helped to keep overall weight down as well as improve control in gusty crosswinds. Cool, huh? At speed, the airflow rejoins behind the car as if the bodywork was still there. Called Kammtail Virtual Foil (or KVF), the Madone's shape takes full advantage, making the bike a much lighter and more controllable machine.
From top to bottom, the Madone SLR takes well-thought details and produces a super-clean bike that shows almost nothing to the wind. By submerging all the cables inside the multi-piece handlebar, stem, frame and fork, the Madone SLR's drag number stay very low. An aperture in the left chainstay for a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor eliminates the need for clumsy zip-ties. Even the adjustable 3S chain keeper got an aero makeover.
All this might sound like the kind of stuff Trek's competitors would do when trying to build a copy of the Madone SLR. But there's one thing they can't build into their bikes: adjustable IsoSpeed. The previous generation Madone SLR took the world by storm with an IsoSpeed rear seat mast, making it more comfortable than plenty of road bikes in general, not just other aero road machines. With this Madone's adjustable IsoSpeed component found under the top tube, the bike can adjusted for different rider weights, different road surfaces and expected ride quality in general. Like the Domane SLR, two allen wrenches are all that's needed to do a roadside adjustment in seconds. The IsoSpeed unit also features a reduced rebound by 13%, keeping the bike from feeling "bouncy" over repeated impacts. A fresher rider will race the last mile of any event better than a tired rider. IsoSpeed just makes sense for everyone. This Madone SLR is built with Trek's more upright "H2" fit geometry, allowing a wider range of riders -and rider flexibilities- to get comfortable.
Shimano's 11-speed Ultegra R8000 components keep up with the rest of this new Madone SLR by adding better aerodynamic design, more precise operation and improved overall performance. The rear Shadow-style Ultegra derailleur is tucked out of the wind with a lower profile design, while also shifting more precisely under hard pedaling loads. The toggle-pivot Ultegra front derailleur also requires less hand strength to operate. The Ultegra levers are also an adjustable-reach design for smaller hands. A Shimano 105 crankset with 50/34T chainrings and a Shimano 105 11-30T cassette brings a wide gearing range to every hilly ride or race.
The Madone SLR 6's Bontrager Aeolus Pro 5 wheels are built with an OCLV carbon fiber rim with an eye towards very low drag. A 50mm deep rim and bladed spokes carve through the wind like a hot cinder through jell-o. The wheels are not only crazy light (1605 grams!), but also boast a slightly wider 19.5mm inner profile that allows a given tire's "footprint" to be wider for enhanced grip. Bontrager R2 Hard-Case Lite 700x25c bring a smooth feel and low rolling resistance to the Madone SLR.
This Madone SLR has a set of brake calipers integrated into the frame and fork, hiding from the wind better than many brakes on other bikes. They're direct-mount, 2-bolt units enhancing brake lever feedback and improving pad life. Pads specific to a carbon fiber wheel's brake track are installed.
A Bontrager Aeolus Comp saddle sits atop the IsoSpeed seat mast, adding a comfortable perch to the bike. The Madone-specific stem allows the shift and brake cables to be routed internally, while the KVF-profiled carbon fiber handlebar can be rotated and adjusted for a more precise fit.
