Trek Madone 2019 range

The Madone geometry has been adjusted. Trek splits its fits into ‘H1’ – low and agressive, and ‘H2’ – a little more relaxed. 

For 2019, the surviving SL uses an ‘H2’ fit whilst the SLR offers an ‘H1.5’ geo. This was developed alongside Drops women’s team, sponsored by Trek during 2018, and means there’s a choice of low and high-stack stems provided to help riders fine tune the perfect fit.

In addition, the two piece aero bar can be tilted to +/-5 degrees, something that’s very rarely possible on an integrated cockpit. The cables are hidden, which looks great and cuts resistance further, and the new models have ‘Blendr’ compatibility, which allows you to use Trek’s system to mount your cycling computer and lights with minimal disruption.

Typically, aero bikes are not known for their comfortable ride quality. However, whilst Trek has offered a rear IsoSpeed decoupler on its Madone for some time, the new SLR provides an adjustable top tube decoupler.

Dampener at the rear to stop rebounds

The IsoSpeed system was introduced for the brand’s endurance Domane, and creates flex in the frame which helps to dampen out road buzz. This new adjustable top tube version is tweaked via a 2.5mm Allem key and allows riders to switch between a level that’s 17 per cent more compliance, vs one which is 21 per cent stiffer, than the previous 2015 model.

Moving the position of the decoupler reduces rebound caused by the flex, and it also allows for a better level of consistency across all frame sizes – formerly, smaller frame sizes suffered due to a shortening of the spring involved in the movement.

Continuing into the 2019 range is Trek’s windtunnel tested Kammtail Virtual Foil (KVF) tube shaping, which employs a truncated-tail design to slice through the wind.

Madone SLR 9 Disc is the hero of the road disc revolution. Advanced road bike aerodynamics, our lightest OCLV Carbon layup, adjustable compliance, and a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 electronic drivetrain make it the final stop in your search for a top-of-the-line aero road bike.

Madone SLR 6 Disc brings the ultimate race bike platform to the next level of performance with road-smoothing Adjustable Top Tube IsoSpeed, a slider on the top tube that allows you to fine-tune the amount of compliance in your frame. Race-worthy parts and wheels, hydraulic disc brakes, endless adjustment options, and our lightest 700 Series OCLV Carbon make it the right choice for anyone who wants to add more trophies and medals to their collection.

Madone SLR 7 Disc Women's is light, fast, and smooth. It's built with our top-end aero OCLV Carbon frame, Adjustable Top Tube IsoSpeed, hydraulic disc brakes for all-weather stopping power and control, touchpoints that can provide a better fit and feel to women, and an electronic drivetrain for fast and reliable shifting.
