Test: With the Trek Madone SLR 7 Disc, we tested one of the most comfortable aerobikes. Nevertheless, comfort does not come at the expense of performance and aerodynamics. Coupled with high-quality Shimano Ultegra Di2 equipment, you should definitely take a closer look at the Madone.

Trek Madone SLR 7 Disc – The frame

The Trek Madone SLR 7 Disc promises lightness, speed and suppleness. The main reason for this is probably the frame, which is made of high-quality OCLV Carbon and has been aerodynamically optimized. With adjustable IsoSpeed ​​technology on the top tube, comfort should be favored because vibrations from the road are better absorbed. With this technology, however, you can adjust the compliance of the frame to individual preferences.

Trek Madone SLR 7 Disc—IsoSpeed

IsoSpeed ​​challenged traditional frame design. IsoSpeed ​​takes a different approach to the previously favored approaches to solving the compliance dilemma (such as suspension systems, elastomers or vibration dampeners) and retains the diamond-shaped frame geometry, but "decouples" the seat tube from the top tube, allowing the seat tube to swing away the forces of the road . The result is a bike that moves with the road while offering the feel and efficiency of a traditional road bike design. Depending on the bike model, this “decoupling” is achieved in two ways. Both methods are equally effective and significantly increase ride quality.

Handlebars and stem with aero carbon clamping plate allow excellent adjustability without compromising aerodynamics and offer a clean look with hidden cable routing. Seatpost adjustability is as good as that on the handlebar/stem combo and has an integrated mount for the Bontrager Flare RT taillight.

Trek Madone SLR 7 Disc – The equipment

With a fully electronic Shimano Ultegra Di2 11-speed you can't go wrong. 50/34 teeth are used at the front and you can enjoy a range of 11-28 teeth at the rear. In addition, there are the in-house Bontrager Aeolus Pro 5 Disc Tubeless Ready wheels, which are fully at the service of aerodynamics and at 50mm still offer an appealing weight and good handling properties. The wheels also come with their own Bontrager R3 Hard-Case Lite tires. The hydraulic Shimano Ultegra flat mount disc brakes ensure the best safety in all situations.

With the Bontrager Duotrap S integrated in the chainstay, the speed and cadence can be measured using magnets and transmitted to all common bicycle computer systems.

Trek Madone SLR 7 Disc – How it rides

An aerobike has to be fast - period! It's not that easy if you want a really good aero racer. Unfortunately, the comfort is often heavily influenced by the frame geometry and the rigidity of the wheels and you have to find a compromise between a sporty seating position, speed and pleasant comfort. The Trek Madone SLR 7 Disc combines all properties at a very high level and thus offers a very complete aerobike. The IsoFlex technology gives you a level of comfort that is particularly impressive for an aerobike, without sacrificing stiffness or power transmission. Especially when starting or sprinting, you notice how the Madone really goes forward and every step is converted.

At 7,8 kilos, you're more likely to find it among the heavier models, but you can still offer solid performance on the mountain. However, the trek is more fun on the flat if you can really accelerate. From time to time we would have wished for more teeth than 50 on the large chainring and the wheels could also be higher for very fast passages. Nevertheless, these offer a low susceptibility to crosswinds and can therefore be traded well. The other equipment is of course also quite impressive. As always, the Shimano Ultegra Di2 is in no way inferior to the Dura-Ace version and does a good job. We felt a bit uncomfortable with the Bontrager tires, which we would like to exchange for a different model.

Trek Madone SLR 7 Gen 7 review

Goodbye IsoSpeed, hello IsoFlow

Simon von Bromley

Composed yet fast; innovative design; front end can run both integrated and non-integrated handlebar setups; wide range of frame sizes

Expensive; no power meter; mid-range tyres and cheap inner tubes don’t belong on this bike

Now in its seventh generation, the latest Trek Madone SLR is claimed to be both faster and lighter than ever.

Yet while this latest version retains a typically Madone-esque silhouette, it’s impossible to miss the bike’s unique selling point – the big hole in the seat tube, or IsoFlow, as Trek calls it.

IsoFlow might seem like the main story here, but it isn’t the only thing worth paying attention to.

Overall, the Trek Madone SLR 7 builds on the highly refined Madone platform.

Trek has brought the bike up to date and taken into account the latest aero trends. That's one of the reasons it earns a place in our 2023 Aero Road Bike of the Year category.

While the results are thoroughly impressive on the road, there's no ignoring the high cost of entry, especially on a build with some nominally mid-range parts.

Trek Madone SLR 7 Gen 7 frameset

Unsurprisingly, pro-rider feedback about the previous Madone SLR was simply that those who rode it wanted the new one to be “faster and lighter”.

Starting with the subtler changes, Trek has updated its signature Kammtail Virtual Foil tube shapes (or truncated aerofoils, as everyone else calls them) and overhauled the front end, adding a lighter, fully integrated aero cockpit with flared drops.

Trek also says the handlebar’s narrow hood position plays a significant role in making the bike and rider more aerodynamic.

More noticeably, though, Trek has replaced the comfort-enhancing IsoSpeed system at the junction of the seat tube and top tube with a kite-shaped hole it calls ‘IsoFlow’.

Given most riders, pro or otherwise, apparently didn’t make frequent use of IsoSpeed’s adjustability, Trek opted to replace it with a simpler and lighter solution.

According to Trek, IsoFlow is both lighter and more aerodynamic than IsoSpeed.

Rear-end compliance is claimed to hit the same level as before (with the adjustable IsoSpeed set to its stiffest setting), because the seatpost is essentially cantilevered over the rear of the bike.

Overall, IsoFlow is a win-win solution, Trek says.

The sum of these changes is a bike that’s claimed to be 300g lighter for a complete bike. It’s not a night-and-day difference, but a nice saving nonetheless.

My size-56cm Madone SLR 7 weighs 7.69kg. While that’s slightly lighter than some similarly specced competitors, such as the Giant Propel Advanced Pro 0 AXS and Cervélo S5 , there are lighter aero bikes available for similar money.

The top-spec Canyon Aeroad CFR we tested in 2020, for example, weighed just 7.3kg (size medium). At the time of writing, the 2023 version costs £8,799, yet is specced with a Dura-Ace Di2 R9200 groupset.

In terms of speed, the new Madone is claimed to be 19 watts more aerodynamically efficient at 45kph than the previous one, with a rider on board.

This, Trek says, translates to a time saving of around “60 seconds per hour”, meaning a ride that would take an hour on the old Madone should only take 59 minutes on the new one. That’s an impressive saving for a racer, if the claims are to be believed.

Trek Madone SLR 7 Gen 7 geometry

In terms of fit, the Madone SLR uses Trek’s H1.5 geometry (as seen on the latest Emonda SLR ) – a halfway house between the aggressive H1 and more relaxed H2 geometries it offered previously.

Helpfully, there are eight frame sizes in total, from 49cm to 62cm, meaning a wide range of riders should be able to find a well-fitting bike, too.

Overall, though, the measurements and angles are still very race-focused.

Stack and reach sit at 563 and 391mm respectively, almost identical to key competitors such as the latest Giant Propel and the Cervélo S5.

The head tube and seat tube angles (on my size-56cm test bike) are both relatively steep, at 73.5 and 73.3 degrees, respectively. It also has a short, 58mm trail and a tight wheelbase of just 983mm.

All of which points towards nimble, reactive handling and a riding position designed to encourage you into an aerodynamic riding position .

Trek Madone SLR 7 Gen 7 build

Despite the five-figure price tag, the build encompasses a suite of parts that are nominally mid-range (or would have been before the great bike industry price hikes of recent years).

You get Shimano’s Ultegra Di2 8100 groupset, instead of Dura-Ace Di2, for example. The wheelset is the mid-range carbon Bontrager Aeolus Pro 51, instead of the top-tier Aeolus RSL.

Trek has specced Bontrager R3 Hard-Case Lite clincher tyres (in a size 700x25c), instead of the pricier tubeless-ready versions or the beautiful (and even more expensive) R4 320 Handmade cotton clinchers.

A Bontrager Aeolus Elite saddle, with ‘Austenite’ (a type of steel alloyed with nickel) rails is chosen, rather than the Pro or RSL models with carbon rails.

You don’t get a power meter with Shimano builds, either. SRAM builds come with Quarq power meters as standard, though are a little more expensive as a result.

This ‘mid-range’ kit mostly performs excellently, though, and one could argue upgrading these parts to the fancier, lighter versions is only going to offer marginal gains at even greater expense (that’s what the £13,500 Madone SLR 9 offers).

However, when you consider some of the best aero bikes are available with equivalent specs for significantly less money, it’s a tough pill to swallow.

Still, Trek is far from the only brand making expensive bikes these days.

Whether it’s the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7 , Pinarello Dogma F or Colnago V4Rs , to name three, there are certain bikes that aren’t focused on value first and foremost, and that’s okay.

Though an important factor in any purchasing decision, value won’t be the only consideration for everyone, after all.

Trek isn’t cutting any corners with the most important aspect of the bike, either – the SLR frameset and integrated handlebar are exactly the same as those used to compete at the highest level.

Like my colleague, Ashley Quinlan , who reviewed the Madone SLR 9 eTap last year, I came away impressed by the Madone’s front-end.

As already noted, the new handlebar features a slightly narrower, 39cm (centre to centre) hoods position, while it flares out to 42cm wide at the drops.

This gives you the aerodynamic gain of a narrower handlebar at the hoods, with the wider drops providing additional control and leverage for descending and sprinting.

It’s nowhere near as extreme as the 33/37cm handlebar featured on the Ribble Ultra SL R I tested just prior to the Madone, which inevitably means the gain isn’t as obvious. However, it’s certainly a less intimidating change for those not used to riding with narrow handlebars .

All things considered, it’s a positive change, with no notable compromises to comfort or handling.

There are 11 different stem-length and handlebar-width combinations available, and Trek says a dealer can swap a handlebar size at the point of purchase for no extra cost.

Alternatively, it’s also possible to run a standard, 1 1/8in stem and any handlebar you like, giving you near-limitless options for front-end customisation.

My only real disappointment was my test bike’s drab matt black paintjob .

Trek is renowned for producing some of the peloton’s best paintjobs in recent years, yet, save for the cool reflective down tube logo, this one is about as dull as they come.

Of course, others might feel differently and, either way, there are other choices available, plus the option for a custom paintjob through Trek’s Project One programme (at additional expense).

Trek Madone SLR 7 Gen 7 ride impressions

The Madone’s greatest strength is that it manages to feel like a non-aero bike, but faster.

It barrels along on flat or rolling roads, yet feels snappy and energising when you start climbing or rise out of the saddle to sprint over a brow.

I can’t say whether IsoFlow makes the Madone any faster, but it certainly makes for a comfortable rear end when paired with the excellent Bontrager Aeolus saddle (a firm favourite among many testers at BikeRadar).

It's obvious enough to make the handlebar feel fairly stiff in contrast, in fact.

As expected, Shimano’s latest Ultegra Di2 groupset (here with suitably sporty, 52/36-tooth chainrings and an 11-30-tooth cassette) offers near-faultless performance, albeit at a slightly heavier overall weight than Dura-Ace.

The latest Shimano hydraulic brakes, with burly 160mm rotors front and rear, make the Madone a great partner on descents, too.

Despite the quick handling and short wheelbase, there’s no hint of instability at high speeds.

The Bontrager Aeolus Pro 51 wheels also impress. At a claimed 1,590g for the pair, they don’t feel cumbersome when climbing steep pitches, yet the 51mm-deep rims provide a noticeable performance benefit on the flats.

A 23mm internal rim width also helps provoke extra volume out of the 25c tyres, which inflate to 28.5mm wide at 65psi/4.5 bar.

With an external rim width of 30mm, Trek likely opted for 25c tyres (rather than 28c or larger tyres as many brands now do) to optimise the aerodynamic performance of the combination.

On good-quality roads, this combination doesn’t pose any issues, but I did find myself wanting for greater tyre volume whenever my test rides took a turn down a broken lane.

Fortunately, there’s plenty of scope to size up, if you want more cushioning or grip.

Frame and fork clearance is rated for up to 28c tyres (which would likely measure around 30mm wide on the Bontrager rims), but the space around both front and rear tyres suggests that’s a conservative estimate.

My main issue in this area, though, is the stock Bontrager tyres offer only average performance.

Grip levels are good, but rolling speed isn’t competitive with the best road bike tyres , and the ride feel is disappointingly wooden too.

The latter two points can be attributed partly to the basic butyl inner tubes supplied as stock.

Upgrading to latex or TPU inner tubes would doubtless go some way to improving both, but it’s also fair to say these tyres won’t ever get the most out of this bike no matter what you put in them.

That Trek is charging £10,200, yet skimping on something as critical as tyres, is disappointing.

Replacing them would be relatively easy and inexpensive, of course (and you could go tubeless too, with the addition of tubeless rim tape, valves and sealant for the wheels), but you shouldn’t have to when you’ve spent this much money.

Trek Madone SLR 7 Gen 7 bottom line

The Trek Madone SLR 7 manages to combine the fun and engaging ride quality of a normal race bike with the speed of an aero bike.

It would be a fantastic companion for racing or fast group rides, yet is comfortable enough for big days in the saddle, too.

Though technically mid-range, the parts and components offer excellent all-round performance (tyres and inner tubes aside). Even so, it’s still hard to ignore the fact there are many similarly specced competitors available that cost far less.

However, if you want a super-fast road bike that pushes the boundaries of aerodynamic design and says ‘Trek’ on the down tube, the Madone SLR doesn’t disappoint.

Aero Road Bike of the Year 2023 | How we tested

If you’re trying to ride faster, then aerodynamic drag is usually your biggest problem.

Previously, though, picking a dedicated aero road bike meant compromising on things such as comfort and practicality. Fortunately, such issues are (largely) problems of the past.

Today’s aero bikes are fast on the flats and no slouches up hills either. Most now include clearance for wide tyres and the best have front ends that don’t require a degree in mechanical engineering to work on.

With that in mind, we put the contenders to the test on the twisty, technical and rolling hills of south Bristol.

As with all road bikes, we considered how easy each bike is to live with, and how easily the stock setup can be adjusted to suit your personal needs and riding style.

Many of the bikes featured in this year’s Aero Road Bike of the Year test are at the upper end of the pricing scale, with premium groupsets and parts showcasing the best contemporary equipment. However, most are also available in cheaper specs if your budget doesn’t stretch as far.

Trek Madone range: Which model is right for you?

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

Despite being named after Lance Armstrong’s favourite training climb , the wind cheating Trek Madone is destined for flatter terrain. The aero bike within the brand's wide ranging collection received a major overhaul in its sixth iteration, launched for 2019.

Whilst the outline of the bike does not look dissimilar to the 2015 launched fifth version, a lot has changed when we explore the top end Trek Madone SLR in greater detail.

In the past, the Madone models were split into SLR (top end), SL (middle) and 9 Series (entry level) versions. For 2019, there is just one SL model, at £3600, and the rest are SLR - where a frameset is £4000.

The geometry has been adjusted as well. Trek splits its fits into 'H1' - low and agressive, and 'H2' - a little more relaxed.

>>> Trek Madone SLR 9 Disc review

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.

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.

Trek no longer produces women's specific frames , instead offering the Madone SLR in women's and men's builds, the former of which comes specced with narrower handlebars and a women's saddle.

Trek Madone SLR & SL 2019 models

The SLR models differ from the sole surviving SL by virtue of the H1.5 fit, top tube IsoSpeed Decoupler, and the use of a higher end carbon - 700 OCLV ( more on OCLV here ).

There are rim and disc brake models on offer, and all versions useBontrager Aeolus Comp 5 wheels. If you want to personalise your Madone SLR, you can do so with a Project 1 paintjob, too.

The SL, by comparison, has the old IsoSpeed decoupler, H2 fit, and uses 500 OCLV carbon which will be fractionally heavier.

The spec options are:

• Trek Madone SL6 (rim): Shimano Ultegra, £3600
• Madone SLR 6 Disc: Shimano Ultegra, £5400 (£5950 with P1 paint)
• Madone SLR 6 (rim): Shimano Ultegra, £5500 (with P1 paint)
• Madone SLR 7 Disc: Shimano Ultegra Di2, £7550
• Madone SLR 8 Disc: Shimano Dura Ace, £7750
• Madone SLR 8 (rim): Shimano Dura Ace, £6750 (£7300 with P1 paint)
• Madone SLR 9 Disc: Shimano Ultegra Di2, £10,000 (£10,550 with P1 paint)
• Madone SLR 9 (rim): Shimano Ultegra Di2, £9550
• Madone SLR 9 eTap Disc: SRAM eTap, £10,550
• Madone SLR frameset: £4000

Choosing Between Trek Madone SLR 7 Disc eTap and SLR 9 Disc eTap 2019

Visits: 2253

Trek Project One is a fun site to play with. You can customize, choose the paint / colour you like and also choose the components of your bike.

The more I explore, the more I understand about the differences between the Madone models.

You can choose from Madone 6 to Madone 9, all having the same frame but different components. The main difference between the different Madone is the drivetrain, which you can’t change. So you will have to select the drivetrain you want based on the Madone series.

For examples:

• Madone SLR 6 Disc = Ultegra 8000 series
• Madone SLR 7 Disc = Ultegra Di2 8050 series
• Madone SLR 7 eTap Disc = Force eTap AXS
• Madone SLR 8 Disc = Dura Ace 9100 series
• Madone SLR 9 Disc = Dura Ace Di2 9150 series
• Madone SLR 9 eTap Disc = Red eTap AXS

There are also rim brake version and womens version, but in general they are all the same as per above.

Among the series, you can customize the components such as:

• Power Meter

The most important feature of Project One is actually the paint colour. You can customize the colour to your liking, besides the standard colours. There are 3 different selections of Paint work, from ZERO cost to US$500 to US$1000 price range. If you are getting a Madone bike, I think it makes sense to design one with your own colour preference instead of the standard on the shelve colour. If you are paying US$500 or US$1000 paint work, you can have your PERSONALISATION done as well (name printing on the bike).

Now that I have made up my mind on the latest SRAM 12 speed electronic drivetrain, the question is should I go for FORCE or RED? There are only TWO selections in Madone range in my case: Madone SLR 7 eTap Disc & Madone SLR 9 eTap Disc.

I was thinking that I do not need the AEOLUS XXX 6 TLR wheelset in Madone SLR 9, and I opt for the AEOLUS PRO 5 TLR, that saves me US$1,200. I was playing around with the customisation of SLR 9 to downgrade the components to SLR 7 except the drivetrain, and guess what…the difference in price is still a whooping US$2,670.01 (RM11,214 @ 4.2 exchange rate)!

• Madone SLR 9 Disc = US $12,330.00 (RM51786, or RM49196 after 5% discount, or RM47073 after 9.1% discount)

• Madone SLR 7 Disc = US$9,659.99 (RM40572, or RM38543 after 5% discount, or RM36880 after 9.1% discount)

So to say that the price difference between SRAM Red eTap AXS Quarq and SRAM Force eTap AXS Quarq is US$2,670.01. That’s a huge amount for just the groupset upgrade! Or should I say…TREK is overcharging their SLR 9 model as online price difference of the two is just US$1000. OK, let’s be fair to Trek, the Quarq power different for the two groupsets are different. Red uses a different one piece power meter from Quarq which costs US$820 in upgrading as per Quarq website, whereby Force Quarq upgrade is only US$599. So let’s take off US$221 from US$2,670.01, it becomes US$2449.01. Minus out the US$1000 price difference of the two groupsts, Treks is still overcharging US$1449.01 for the Madone 9. That’s quite a lot for just the number printing.

So, the choice is clear for me.

Update: 21th April 2019, Sunday, 10.03pm

I just realized one thing…that the price difference of the TWO SRAM groupsets might not be that simple.

SRAM website pricing of the two groupsets are shown at:

https://launch.sram.com/en/axs/products/sram-red-etap-axs-groupset

https://launch.sram.com/en/axs/products/sram-force-etap-axs-groupset

From the website:

• 2x Hydraulic Road Disc Brake w/ Power: $4,158/€4,118/£3,794

• 2x Hydraulic Road Disc Brake: $2,678/€2,548/£2,274

So the difference between the two is actually US$1,480. Still, from the previous calculation above, Trek is charging US$2,670.01 for the Red upgrade from Force groupset (Madone 7 to Madone 9), that’s still US$1,190.01 (RM5,000) extra charged by Trek for it.
