Size: 58cm but check the geometries or get in touch to confirm whether this bike will fit you.
RRP: £12,500
The Trek Madone SLR Disc delivers the speed that its impressive looks suggest, backed up by good handling and, thanks to the new adjustable IsoSpeed decoupler, reasonable smoothness. Some bikes just look fast, the Madone actually is fast. Speeding on the Madone SLR really is very addictive. It's impossible to go out for a gentle jaunt. It wants hammer-time all the time.
The Madone's handling is race-focused, as you'd expect. The new H1.5 geometry, which replaces the previous choices of slammed H1 and relaxed H2, is well judged. It provided a comfortable fit with a bit of stretch to the handlebar.
The IsoSpeed decoupler basically allows the seat tube and seatpost to move independently of the frame in a controlled manner, with a new elastomer bumper to control the rebound. Undo a couple of bolts and you can move a small slider to choose the firm, soft or somewhere-in-between setting. Does it work? Yes, it does. How much compliance does it actually provide? Trek says: 'Compliance at the saddle of a 56cm frame ranges from approximately 119N/mm to 175N/mm depending on the slider's position. According to these figures, the new Madone is capable of both more compliance (+17%) and less compliance (-22%) than its predecessor.'
It's specced with the sort of kit you'd expect on this level of bike, including the Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset, which is flawless and also includes a dual sided power meter.
Bontrager's Aeolus XXX 4 wheels enhance the aerodynamic performance greatly. They look fantastic and they sound great when you sprint the Madone up to speed.
The new two-piece bar and stem allow more fit adjustment than before, with the angle of the handlebar adjustable to suit your preference. The bar is a comfortable shape with the swept back design providing manageable reach to the hoods and drops. All cables and hoses are routed inside the Madone, right from the front where they are hidden inside the handlebar and stem and into the frame.
