Madone SL 6 Gen 6 - Trek Bikes (INE)

Overview

"With so many brands today trying to make one race bike that does it all – balancing low weight, aerodynamics and stiffness, Trek unabashedly keeps the Madone as a go-fast aero platform. And it excels at it."

"The ride feels quality and it truly does want to take off. The added adjustable ISOSpeed is a great idea and the fact it doesn't hinder anything else, other than add a little bit of weight, is no bad thing. Great work Trek!"

"I stopped thinking about it being a good aero road bike, and more about how it was a good road bike, period: capable, composed, planted, responsive."

Madone is the bike of choice for Mads Pedersen, UCI Road World Champion.

Research shows the single most impactful measure you can take to stand out to motorists is to use front and rear Daytime Running Lights. The team uses them on every training ride, any time of day—and they’ve found that these lights truly make a difference.

Features

Equipped with a threaded T47 bottom bracket. In addition to being super-reliable and easy to service, this system offers extra stiffness for better power transfer and pedalling efficiency.

500 Series OCLV achieves a superb balance of light weight, strength, and stiffness that's perfectly suited to the sophisticated frame technologies that distinguish Trek frames.

H1.5 geometry, developed with Trek-Segafredo pro cycling teams, puts the rider in the optimal aero race position. It’s the sweet spot for what our racers want.

Bontrager Blendr stem technology lets you clip your gear directly to the stem for clean looks and maximum user friendliness.

Our slippery fork features KVF aero legs to minimise drag, while the unique moulded carbon dropouts reduce weight. The new fork also increases lateral stiffness for ultra-precise handling.

Learn more

Trek engineers designed a decoupler that allows the seat tube to rotate independently from the top-tube-to-seatstay junction, increasing vertical compliance to twice that of our nearest competitor, without compromising pedalling efficiency. Result: you can ride harder, longer.

Learn more

We've optimised our revolutionary KVF tube shape to complement Madone's ultimate integration, creating a lightweight and super-aerodynamic frame that outclasses every competitor.

Carbon wheels can lighten your ride and improve your performance – and when you ride Bontrager, your investment is protected. All Bontrager carbon wheels are backed by a lifetime warranty for the original owner.

Sizing

How tall are you?

To measure your height, stand up straight, barefoot, with your back, heels, shoulders and head all touching a wall. While looking straight ahead, place a book or straight edge on your head and slowly push it against the wall. Your straight edge should be parallel with the floor. Mark the spot where the bottom of the book is touching the wall. The distance from the marked spot to the floor is your height.

What is your inside leg?

How to measure: Stand barefoot with your back straight and against a wall. Tuck a ruler or something that extends to the floor between your legs. Using both hands, and keeping it level, pull the ruler up into your crotch as if you were sitting on the saddle. Measure the distance from the top edge of the ruler to the ground to find your inside leg measurement. Your inside leg is very important to your final bike size so please measure carefully.
