Fabian Cancellara's Milan-San Remo Trek Madone

The all-new and very radical Trek Madone launched last summer and saw race action in the major tours. It and the new Scott Foil and Specialized Venge Vias show the pinnacle of the latest trends in aero road bike design – which led it into the 'superbikes' category in our stablemate Cycling Plus magazine's recent 2016 Bike of the Year roadie mega-shootout.

• Highs: It's highly evolved aero machine that's fast, light, and seriously smooth
• Lows: The complexity and price tag
• Buy if: You're seriously rich and want to go as fast as possible yet not be beaten up by your bike

Added IsoSpeed ingredient

This bike has a significant trick in its back pocket – an IsoSpeed decoupler (just like the one found on the Domane). This mechanical 'pivot' at the intersection between top tube, seat tube and stays is combined here with a 'seat tube within a seat tube' (meaning the outer aero section stays independent of the moving parts).

That makes the back end of the Madone simply the most comfortable aero machine we've tried. In fact, it's not just the most comfortable aero bike, but also up there with the most comfortable race machines around.

Now you might think that the added complexity of the IsoSpeed, the direct-mount centre-pull front brake (with its 'Vector wing' covers that pivot outwards when turning on sprung hinges yet stay slippery and aero in a straight line), and the Di2 control centre encased in the down tube, are all going to add significant weight. But as our 58cm test machine tipped the scales at just 6.8kg, it's really not an issue. Yes, it's heavier than its brethren, but it's not exactly what you'd call a porker. Trek claims an H1 (the lowest, raciest fit) 56cm frame weighs in at 950g, and that's seriously impressive for such a complex design.

As our test machine came as part of Trek's Factory program, we got it in exactly that full-race spec H1 fit. That means a slammed front end compared with the H2 fit that's become the norm on the majority of Trek's high performance range (both of the other Madone models come in H2 fit as standard).

That said, you can get some adjustment even with the aero-saving one-piece aero bar and stem (Trek claims 34g of drag reduction) thanks to the clamshell splitting headset spacers. Obviously a bike of this grade and complexity requires a professional fit from Trek's in-house team.

Seriously smooth, seriously speedy

Though the ride position is long and low the smothering smooth back end makes for a bike that – providing you're flexible enough – rewards you with bags of comfort. Once you get out on the road the Madone is instantly rewarding, and damn it's fast.

That's countered though with a feeling that the speed is effortless. Usually on such a speed-focused bike you get feedback and the feeling of stiffness and resolute rigidity. This, however, is cosseting – and it's only when you glance at your head unit and realise the velocity at which you're travelling and the ease at which you can achieve it does the Madone's intoxicating charm hit home.

In fact, on the 2.8 mile section of rollers on the Trek's chosen test route I managed to shave a massive 32 seconds off my previous segment PB. Now that's not all down to the bike's aero-prowess, as there's no bigger placebo effect than trying to live up to a pro-level superbike's abilities. This isn't a bike you'll ever just want to go for a leisurely cruise on.

If you're concerned though that the Madone would be just too-much on your local broken road surfaces, we'd like to put you mind at ease. The aforementioned cosseting nature of the chassis can be increased further, as Trek has cleverly made provision for 28c tyres, even when running on modern 25mm wide (externally) rims like the Madone's Bontrager Aeolus 5s.

You could in fact make them even plusher by converting to tubeless (as the Aeolus is tubeless ready), though Bontrager's tubeless rim strips will add 100g at each end.

On successive days' test riding we experienced the full gamut of British weather, from plenty of rain to high winds, and – of course – overriding damp and cold. In high winds the Madone coped well, with just the occasional pull on the front's 50mm deep Aeolus rim. We tried switching out the 5 for the shallower 3 (from an Emonda we had on test) and this created much better balanced handling for blustery conditions.

Proficient performer, but hard to live with

The front end, with its smooth slippery shaped bar, balances well with the rear. Under hard sprints you can feel a little flex from the one-piece bar, putting the Madone a little on the back foot compared with the more assured feel of Cannondales flyweight EVO, or Focus's hydraulic disc-equipped Izalco Max.

On ascents though the Madone's low weight, efficient drivetrain stiffness and road-holding smoothness make for a very proficient performer. It's bettered by the out-and-out climber that is the EVO, but it has the better of the similarly designed Pinarello K8s, which also features a 'softtail' rear on an aero-focused design

On descents the Madone's IsoSpeed rear end seems to hunker down and hold on with resolute, unmoving grip. The Madone centre-pull, complex cam-roller brakes look like a improved modern incarnation of classic Campagnolo Delta brakes, but these are shod with Swiss Stop's Black Prince pads, which add layers of tactile feel, though compared with benchmark Dura-Ace items they do have less travel and less progressive feel at the lever.

That slightly on/off feel is one you soon become used to though. After a few high-speed speed scrubs on entry into corners we'd got suitably accustomed.

On the downside, the high complexity of the Madone chassis, which makes it so very, very awesome out on the road, also means it's a bit more of a challenge to live with if you don't have a team of mechanics on hand.

The full internal routing of all the cables, the one-piece bar/stem combo, not to mention the Vector wings, and internal Di2 compartments all give us the shivers when it comes to maintenance, and that's before you consider needing to pack it in a flight case for overseas trips. It's all doable stuff, but be prepared for a steep learning curve or higher than average service bills from your bike shop (then again, if you can meet the asking price you should be able to afford to maintain it).

Trek Madone 5.9 SL “Project One” custom road bike

full OCLV-110 carbon fiber  frame + Race XXX Lite carbon fork = an EXTREMELY light frameset

frame size = 60cm

This bike was a special order from the Trek Factory Racing / Project One custom paint program–which added about $600 to the original $5000+ MSRP on this model.

The 2005 / 2006 / 2007 framesets for this model (Madone 5.2/5.5/5.9 “SL”) were all basically identical… only the factory paint schemes changed from year to year.  What differentiated the models (5.2/5.5/5.9) was the type of carbon fiber used in the frame (OCLV 120 or OCLV110)–and the “build kit” that was used; this includes the groupset / gruppo (Ultegra or Dura Ace), the wheels, the seatpost, the stem, the handlebars, etc (Race / Race Lite / Race X Lite / Race XXX Lite).  So, once you strip all the parts off, the the geometry and construction of the frames are identical.

When we bought the bike some knucklehead had built up the frame with some really shitty / random components.  And, not knowing these frames the way WE know these frames–from buying / selling–and riding–dozens of them over the years, they probably had no idea what they had.  So we had the bike boxed up and shipped down to us (from the midwest) and stripped it down to the frame and started over with top of the line Dura Ace parts from our inventory.  The wheels are basically brand new “take offs” from a 2017 or 2018 Trek Domane 5.9 that a friend of mine bought and immediately put $2000 carbon fiber wheels on.   About a year before that we sold him a REALLY nice Madone 6.9 SSL Pro–but that’s a straight up racing bike–Tour de France level–and he was just getting into cycling–and he really doesn’t ride that much, that far, or that fast.  We tried to talk him out of that bike–it was just too much bike for him–and the frame (58cm) was a bit long for his height–but he fell in love with the bike–and with the idea of being a bad ass cyclist–and (as a doctor) he has plenty of money… so, he bought it anyway.

After spending a fair amount of money on custom fitting and changing out a few parts on that bike–he could never quite get comfortable on it–but he had definitely been bitten by the biking bug–so he went into the local Trek dealer and bought himself a brand new Domane 5.9–in a 56cm–and sold the 6.9 SSL back to us–along with the take-off wheels from the 5.9 Domane… which we decided to use on this bike.  (The original factory wheels on this bike would have been Bontrager Race X Lite’s… which are decent wheels… if your bike is under warranty… and you’re under 175 lbs.  But to get those wheels super light, they have to shave every spare gram of material off the hubs and rims with CNC machines.  This obviously makes the wheels much more prone to failure since thinner / lighter = weaker.  And since they also reduce the number of spokes on those wheels to the bare minimum (typically 16 to 20 in the front and 18 to 24 in the back), the main points of failure are the spoke holes in the hubs and the spoke holes in the rims… because those have to be under tremendous tension to keep the wheel true.  (The more points of contact you have on the hubs / rims (i.e. the more spokes), the more evenly the stress is distributed around the wheel.)  If you bought the bike new and your wheel(s) fail within a year… two years… three years… etc–as long as they weren’t involved in a crash–Trek would generally replace them for free.  But if you’re not the original / registered owner–you’re out of luck.

The Bontrager Paradigm Comp TLR wheels that came on the new Domane are heavier than the Race X Lite’s… but also STRONGER.  And they are WIDER–to accomodate 25mm and 28mm tires more effectively–since that’s been the trend the past 10 yrs or so… wider rims and wider tires–even on racing bikes.  Also, the “TLR” in the name = “tubeless ready”… meaning you can opt for a tubeless set up on these rims if you prefer… particularly useful if you are reading in an area or conditions that are prone to causing puncture flats.  And if you DO run them tubeless… you’ll also bring the total weight down to pretty close to the factory Race X Lite wheels–which require tubes.  And both wider rims / bigger tires and tubeless set ups allow you to run lower air PRESSURE… which also results in a more comfortable ride–and better corning–since you have more rubber on the road.

The bottom bracket, chain, cables, housings, drop bars and bar wrap are all brand new.

For tires we special ordered a gorgeous pair of Continental Grand Prix 4 Season “Black Edition” 25mm’s that look amazing on the bike.  We’d never used this particular model before–but I ran across them online a while back and remembered them when I was ordering misc bits and pieces for this build.

Same with the bar wrap– SupaKaz Sticky Kush Starfade Bling Platinum (two-tone black & silver)–which was also special ordered just for this build.

As is, this bike is in excellent condition.  A bit of typical wear from normal use (a scuff here… a small rock chip in the paint there).    Perfectly tuned.  Wheels dead true.

From the factory these are very light bikes.  +/- 16 lbs stock.  Currently closer to 17 lbs–which is still a very light road bike relatively speaking.  But could easily be close to 15 lbs with some tweaks to the build kit and some lighter wheels.

Extremely high users and professional reviews and ratings on these bikes:

http://www.roadbikereview.com/cat/latest-bikes/road-bike/trek/madone-sl-5-9/prd_338764_5668crx.aspx

The “flames” motif was first used by Trek in 2005 on Lance Armstrong’s special Discovery Team bike for the Tour de France (which he won… but was later stripped of for doping).

That bike got so much press at the time that Trek decided to duplicate the colorway for a special edition bike in 2006 called the SSLX… which–at $10,000–was the most expensive production bike ever at that time–and of course, Trek’s most expensive bike to that date.

https://archive.trekbikes.com/uk/en/2006/trek/madonesslx#/uk/en/2006/trek/madonesslx/details

Since then, the “flames” have been available from Trek / Project One in a variety of color options and variations that continues to this day.  This particular bike has a more subtle / muted version that is a combination of dark gray / charcoal / silver / white–all metallics / pearls that shimmer in the sunlight.  It’s really hard to capture in photos.

Add this bike to you your WishList and come give it a spin.  Or we can ship it to you.  This is a pro level racing bike for less than the price of an entry level carbon endurance bike.  This baby has thousands of worry free miles ahead of her.

Is there a difference, OCLV and TCT Carbon

• Add to quote

I have a 2005 Trek 5000, OCLV Carbon 120. The 2006 Trek 5000 has TCT Carbon. Could someone tell me the difference between Carbon 120 and the TCT Carbon. Is there a difference and if so which is better.  

The OCLV is made in the United States. The TCT is made overseas.  

OCLV is the superior carbon. TCT is made overseas of rather generic carbon fiber, while OCLV carbon is sourced from the very people who provide carbon to Boeing, Raytheon, etc. The process used to manufacture OCLV, however, is what truly sets it apart. Have you ever seen cheap window tinting on cars? Usually, there are many air bubbles between the tinting material and window. Most carbon frames have similar pockets of air (or "voids") scattered in between the many layers of carbon fiber cloth. These voids are weak spots, resulting in less strength, or requiring additional material. OCLV uses a patented process that brings the level of voids down to 1% or less, if I remember correctly. To put that into perspective, the aerospace standard is up toward 4% or 5%.....so, technically, OCLV carbon is a bit more refined in that respect than the carbon fiber flying around at 600mph and 40,000 feet on $100 million jets. In addition, OCLV frames are manufacturered in Waterloo, Wisconsin, making the workmanship and quality control superior to most frames manufacturered in China or Taiwan.  

Thanks for that info. I am glad i bought the 05 trek with oclv. Chris

I've been told by my LBS that the manufacturing process is the same when comparing OCLV and TCT. However, The TCT is made overseas and can't comment on the quality of the CF. This being said, all the TCT frames as of March 2006 (the most recent data I have) have come from Waterloo in WI. Now this may not mean that the frame is made there, but the bike is at least assembled there prior to shipping to the LBS. So, in summary: TCT is intended to be the same as OCLV but the quality controls and guarantee that the process is adhered to, is not there.  

Keep in mind... ... some of the best (winning, and high end) carbon-fiber bike are made in Taiwan and China. Every Giant frame is made overseas. Some Colnago's are also made overseas (Not sure about the high end ones). I ride a Madone. I love it. Top notch quality. I have worked with a company that sent the majority (read Mature) products overseas for lower cost manufacturing. I would not say that the "quality just is not there". Asia is quickly becoming some of the best manufacturing in the world. The way I see it - the name TCT is just a way to differentiate where the carbon process is done. I would even go as far as to say that the carbon processes, and QC being done wherever these frames are made are the same as used in Waterloo. The only difference may be in the CF being used. I know that when we specced parts that were to be used in our products, WE dictated which suppliers, vendors, and components could and could not be used. As for processes - the engineers, and operators from the manufacturing house came to our facility prior to the transfer, to learn how to do the job, use the tools, and make the products pass our QC standards. You have to remember - Trek is still stamping their name on these things, thus betting their reputation. This is not a case of an Asian company trying to get into the bike market, making lower quality, cheaper goods. This is what Trek needs to do to bring downt the cost of CF bikes - and bring the technology to the masses. To be honest - I bought my Madone because I love Trek bikes for the fit, the price, the look, and the reputation. If the frames were made in Taiwan - I would probably still have bought one - providing the quality, and workmanship was there. Kudos if they can knock $500 off the price. ***The OCLV process is pretty neat BTW - I did thesis work with a bike company in University, who was working on their first CF offering.... they are a really big name - I wont name the company, but a tour contender rides this bike now. Basically (as of 5-6 years ago at least) they layed up the CF in a SS mold clamping it in place. They apply a very controlled amount of resin on the CF sheets (Which are pre-cut with the correct fiber orientation), then they put a heavy rubber balloon between the mold and the CF. Then they inflate the balloon, forcing the resin into the CF, minumizing voids. This is similar to vacuum-bagging that is used in other industries, but they use much higher pressures. Vacuum bagging is kind of limited to 1atm ~15psi. Last I heard they were using like 80-100 psi.***  

The 2006 5000 is made in Asia of 200 gsm carbon, while the 2005 is USA of 120 gsm. Further, the 2006 is a "monocoque" (i.e., the front triangle is molded in one piece) while the 2005 is classic Trek "lugged" and "bonded", which can result in better quality control. Still, the competition to produce a sub $2000 full carbon is fierce, and I doubt Trek will compromise quality.  

Trek says following: I quote an answer which was given by Trek on the question: Trek has introduced many new carbon technologies. Our OCLV carbon is the most demanded carbon product in the bicycle business worldwide. To enhance our ability to continue delivering high end OCLV carbon bikes Trek has developed a new line of carbon fiber products that fall under the banner of Trek Carbon Technology or TCT TCT frames are designed and engineered by the same people who are responsible for the Tour winning OCLV technology. These less expensive TCT frames will utilize a less complex, slightly heavier (200 gsm carbon) manufacturing process. TCT carbon frames offer Trek engineering and quality at a lower price point.

Thanks! I've been watching this thread since I've been thinking of getting rid of my 2005 Trek 5000 and getting a 2010 Trek Madone 4.7. LBS says they'll be in stock in the next week or so.

Pirx said: That's a funny bit there. Anybody can produce a sub-$2000 carbon frame, at the same quality as any $5,000-frame. A Madone 6.9 costs a couple hundred bucks to produce. And Trek doesn't compromise quality any more or less than pretty much any of the reputable frame manufacturers out there. Remember, this is about making money selling a product, and that's it. The prices you pay are what they are only because of advertising, and because people are willing to pay those prices. Click to expand...

zac said: Do you have source information for that statement? Click to expand...

everyone believes advertising too much. you wouldn't notice a difference if both bikes were masked, so don't worry about it.  

The cost of the bikes is in the custom presses and molds that need to be milled every time they change the design of the bike. The carbon process is essentially hand laying carbon fiber sheets that have been machine cut into place and then placing a resin on top of it and then sucking the air out while pressing the pieces together to form the shape of the tube. Thus the true cost of the bike you're paying for is in the $100k plus machine/molds that are needed to be produced. Not in the materials and labor to actually produce the bike. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a bike's total frame cost was under $300 once they get 10s of thousands off the production line to pay for the machinery. Plus, who would want to buy a $300 bike? People would label it a 'cheap' bike with no status.  

Re-reading my original post, I should have said that the competition to build a $2000 full carbon "bicycle" with a decent component spec is fierce. But consider this. When Dorel recently announced the end of American production for all Cannondale frames, their CEO was quoted in Bicycle Retailer that labor costs were 20 times higher in the U.S. than China. 20 times!

Sorry, I have to resurrect this old thread, because I highly enjoyed reading the answers from 6 years ago, but it would be interesting to hear if there's a co-relation between 2012 '500 series OCLV' claiming "the best mix of materials available OUTSIDE of North America" (what people claimed TCT carbon was) and the fact that for 2012, there are no more TCT Carbon frames. Is OCLV the new TCT and there will be something new for 2013? Another question I have is regarding my Cronus CX frame. For 2012 it lists it as that very '500 series OCLV carbon', but on my 2011 model, in Trek's "archives" section, it only states "Bonded Monocoque Carbon Frame." So does that mean my frame is made of a much cheaper "average mix of materials available outside of North America"?  

In talking to the Trek Rep for my LBS, here is what I have been able to discern. This info is coming from a Trek rep, so keep an open mind. OCLV is a process that reduces voids in the carbon, making it stronger and stiffer. Trek held a patent on this process that expires this year. Under the patent they only produced OCLV frames in the US. Now that it is expiring, they are using this process overseas as well. They are moving away from the TCT name because there was an association with inferiority. I am not able to post links yet, but as far as the "levels" of carbon go, you can read about them here: /faq/questions.php?questionid=89 (you will need to add trekbikes.com in front to view). Decide for yourself if it is marketing, or worth the extra cost to bump up to the next "level". I happen to own two Madones. A 2008 5.2, (last year they were built in the US) and a 2012 6 Series Project One, also built in the USA. While I do not claim that I could tell a difference on a blind ride with a non-US TCT frame, I do thoroughly enjoy the ride of the OCLV Madones. This is just my interpretation of my conversation with the rep. Someone feel free to correct me if my understanding is not correct.  

TREK marketing has added LAYERS of confusion to the true differences between their carbon bikes: OCLV (Optimum Compaction Low Void) was originally a manufacturing process - NOT a kind or grade of Carbon. My 1993 5200 was manufactured in parts and assembled rather then built-up around a "bladder" or "balloon" that stayed in the frame like it's more expensive and heavier competition at that time. The 5200 and 5500 had the SAME frame at that time- the difference was the component group. In time Trek introduced 120 and 110 carbon stating that that the number was the weight of a given square of carbon and the more expensive frame had the lighter weave. However, simply having lighter weave could also mean more open space between the strands of carbon. Filling this void with heavy rosin would make a HEAVER frame. This nomenclature didn't make sense on many levels. Other marketing moves made even less sense: TCT (Trek Carbon Technology) vs OCLV carbon when BOTH frames are made with the OCLV method?! I now have a 54cm 2011 Madone 5.9 with a TCT frame that weighs 2.001 lbs on a digital scale. My 1993 5200 OCLV frame weighed 2.54 lbs. The walls of the frame are clearly thinner on the new lighter bike demonstrating 20 years of advancement in the OCLV process. The best remark I ever read about Trek frames simply stated to ignore what-ever Trek is calling their carbon during a particular year and simply eventuate the frame on it's own merits against the competition in the same price range. Better yet - RIDE it -what-ever it called.  

I also own 2 madones. A 2007 5.2sl and 2008 5.2 both oclv 110. I have never ridden a TCT carbon bike and would love to one to see if there is any difference. I think the biggest difference would be weight. I also owned a 2005 5500 120 oclv and it was fantastic also. Honestly these bikes are awesome and piece of art.

Speed,' weight, climbs, handling ability. Smooth shifting with Dura Ace.

None. This bicycle has no weaknesses. You can certainly buy more expensive bicycles. For most of my 25 year cycling career, I've been a Trek rider. In 1997 I bought a Trek 5200 with Ultegra components. Loved it. Two years later, I bought a Trek 5500 Postal bike with Dura Ace. That was the smoothest shifting, fastest bike I ever rode. Two years ago, I traded it in forv a 4.9 with 105 components. Trek had come a long way with their 105s. 6000 miles later, I bought the 5.9 with Dura Ace and Cosmic Carbones. Before I made the purchase I read a review that called the 5.9 "racing royalty" . It's truly that. I couldn't agree more. Faster, smoother, lighter, and again much faster. I'm 60 with an easy 20,000 miles under my belt. I upgraded the saddle because, well, I'm 60. No problem keeping up with 35 year old speedsters. Very smooth shifting. It needed tweaking due to cable stretch after 200 miles. One 100 mile ride. H2!setup is perfect for me. I'm ecstatic. I would recommend this bike to anyone. Can't see an upgrade in the near future. Very happy and satisfied with my purchase. It's painted flat black. My wife thinks it looks like a stolen bicycle that someone spray painted. What she doesn't know won't hurt her. It's beautiful. , such as those with Di2, however this is a different animal.

The bike is fast, stiff, light and comfortable. The frame is strong in crashes as well. If you set it up with some good and stiff wheels like the Mavic Ksyrium SLS wheels or some nice carbon race wheels, you'll have one hell of a bike.

None that cannot be fixed. The bike should come with carbon handlebars. It could have a different paint job, but I'm not one to judge.

I have had this bike since summer of 2009. I have raced it about 50 times and have crashed 3 or 4 times since I've had it. As a junior, I searched for an affordable used bike and found this one for 1500 dollars. Since then I have replaced the handlebars, seat, and the wheels. In my mind, there is no better bike to have for the price. I absolutely love it; so much that I would hang it on my wall if it breaks. It is just that good. I received a Felt F2 with dura-ace 9000 on it for my graduation present and race bike for my time at the U of U. The Felt is a great bike but there is something that it's missing. It's just not as comfortable nor does it have the beloved classic looks that the Trek has. The trek will always be my favorite bike.

Wicked light, great climber, fast, great handling, and comfortable.

None really so far. I did have to fiddle with the front brakes a bit to get rid of some grabbiness but this was just a shoe adjustment issue.

After many years off the road and pounding single-track with my Fuel 100 Full Suspension MTB I decided it was time to get back into road riding. I've been a Trek OCLV fan for years, particularly since they replaced my Fuel frame under warrantee, so I started looking at the road offering and settled on the Madone. I'm a pretty big guy at 192cm and 100 kg and a very aggressive rider so I needed something strong, stiff, "bulletproof", and with dialed in handling, and since I'm used to XTR quality components on my Fuel I wanted a full Dura-Ace group. So I try a few bikes and then spy this 2007 Madone SL 5.9 on the wall at what looks to be a pretty good price and I try it out. Well, perhaps Trek's latest frame is a little "tricker" but this bike has classic looks and man, does it go. This thing climbs like crazy, accelerates like a demon, and goes exactly where you point it ... and ... it rides really well. On top of that it is unbelievably light and I you just can't beat OCLV carbon I guess because as stiff as this is I can bang out a 100km ride without feeling like I've been beaten with a bag of doorknobs. So yeah, I'm really happy with it and logging at least 250-300 km/week.

First road bike in 20 years but avid MTB rider so although I guess I can't compare to comparable road bikes I do not how to ride and know top end gear.

Comfortable, great handling. Warranty on frame and parts. Excellent quality, no compromises on parts. For AUD4500, I got a full Dura-Ace, excellent frame, carbon stem, carbon handle bars, carbon seat post, and super fast and light wheels.

Design and paint job. Other bikes look a lot better. The bike was discounted because it had the Disovery Channel paint job and it was a 2007 model. Not a big deal for me, as I am more interested in the quality of the bike than the look.

My previous bike was a Trek 5200 1999 model. The geometry and handling of the Madone 5.9SL is very similar. Both are excellent bikes. The main differences, other than price, is the lightness of the 5.9SL and the stiffness. Dura Ace shifts a bit smoother than Ultegra.

Frame second to none. Whatever you want to do on this bike it does.

Should have a carbon bar.

This bike was a dream come true. It sprints like a rocket, climbs solidly and goes exactly where you point it. I tell people that it's like a cheap camera, point and shoot and off it goes! The OCLV ride is second to none, and I have ridden many of the competitors bikes but kept coming back to the Trek. I originally wanted a 5.2 SL, but events worked out better and got the 5.9 and have not looked back.

Bankable lifetime warranty on the frame for this freak defect. Same frame, same Andromeda colour (eventhough not a current colour at the time of the claim).

It did take 4 months to replace the frame but this was over the Xmas period and it had to get to Australia from the US.

See my previous review for my initial comments which still stand. This is an update review on a warranty claim. After about 1 year, the bond between my dropout and chain stay failed while climbing out of the saddle. Trek's answer? Repair under warranty. Confidence in my 5.9sl was a little shaken and training suffered but I kept riding for a few months until the repair also failed. Trek's new answer for 18 month old 15,000km frame? Replacement under warranty. I'm pumped, confidence in the bike is back, training kms are up and peak fitness levels are returning- all at no financial cost. After 2 years, I am as happy with the bike as the day I bought it. With the introduction of the new Madones, this is now a classic yet still competitive bike that I'll keep riding thanks to the frame replacement warranty.

Fast, efficient and powerful. Non slopping top tube is superior to cramped compact geometry, it is more aero and bio mechanically it suits me better. The finish is great and quality of the ride and workmanship is second to none. This bike warrants all five stars. A real performer.

The only real weakness that I have noted compared to other bikes I have used; is soreness experienced in the gluteul region following long rides. This bike bears less compliance than others and thus your behind is made fully aware following long hard efforts in the saddle. However I feel that this is a small compromise for a machine that is built to go fast.

This bike was simply built for speed. I sourced the best components (within reason) and put together, a bike that will dominate in all respects. I picked the frame up for a steal through a friends sponsorship commitments. The ride quality of this bike is absolutely amazing the rake in the fork makes the handling aggressive and the geometry provides for controlled and reliant cornering. The bottom bracket in the Madone SL is very stiff and yields the best transfer efficiency of any bike which I have ridden or raced. The rear on the Trek is perfectly engineered for fast efficient power transfer resulting in a lethal turn of speed and sprinting ability in the bike. The rear wheel stays firmly planted when the rider is out of the saddle and tearing away in the 53x11. The climbing capabilities of this bike are fantastic. The light weight of the frame and the rigidity of the bottom bracket deliver an aggressive climbing machine. The finish on the frame is impeccable. Unlike other manufacturers that merely use their frames as marketing devices Trek opts for understated Graphics which help to establish a sense of quality. The Andromeda paint scheme is very attractive. It is different to most other bikes on the market and it just looks fast. Overall the Trek Madone 5.9sl is an amazing race bike which delivers race bike feel and race bike speed. Simply put when you put the foot down this bike goes, up hill or on the flat this is a real thoroughbred and is a joy to ride.

comfortable machine, even for the super long rides and honestly the best climbing bike I've ridden

Though I never notice this on the road it sure does flex in the bb on the trainer under pressure. Trek also does a piss-poor job with paint and design. However that is not a priority. Value rating is 4 because the 5.5sl is $1500+ less with a gain of only +/-250g

I ride the hell out of this thing. I wrote a review here a long time ago on this bike and in short I simply want to restate my position on this thing. It really is a good bike. I'm 145lb and more of a climber than a sprinter and this bike is perfect. On long hauls it is very comfortable. On even the most technical high speed descents it is sure footed and crisp. For me all the stock stuff has worked out beautifully and I've had no need to switch anything. Heavier riders may be bummed out by the front flex in the race x lite wheel on standing climbs. That said I've grown to love these wheels and have had them very close to 55mph with no creepy stuff. If you like a compliant ride and enjoy the art of climbing I really do, even after 20,000 miles recommend the madone. If you want a sexier looking, less functional machine go elsewhere.

Climbing supremicy (Seated or Standing) Comfort, position, ergonomics. Trek reliability and warranty.

Low quality stock paint on some. Price of new SL = $1,000 Lance Tax. (My value rating is for new). If you can find a 2004 in excel. shape - buy it. Not the lightest in the world, but very durable.

This is an update to a previous review. I just want to confirm that this is the bike! I first road the SL in 2004 and immediately fell in love. Hands down the best out of saddle climber out their. Now that I own one I can say that there are no dissapointments. I toasted my brother who's been training all summer on a final climb after about 45 miles of hilly terrain. Normally, I'm the one sucking air. The 2004 is the best looking of the bunch and comes with the Triple X front fork. Hopefully Trek with improve their stock paintwork. If you have the bucks get a project one paint job.

race-ready and stupid light.

rider, still!

Already written below on this right after initial purchase so I'll keep it short. I've about 1 year and 5000 miles on my 5.9 Sl including training and racing. Bottom line is that it remains a hell of a ride, and after a couple of crashes including one nice 35mph+ dismount with company I can attest to the frames relative strength. It's a bit scratched up and has some missing paint chips but it still rides as well as the day I got it and esaily has a few more seasons in it. Components are boarderline perfect though the chains wear quickly (currently on my 3rd one). Beyond that the bike is still entirely stock. Honestly not sure it's faster than other dialed-in rides out there but it sure is light and the ride quality is terrific and comfortable, though hold on tight in high crosswinds. In any event zero regrets here. Buy one, you'll like it.

Trek Project One 6 Series Madone review

Bespoke superbike from the big boys

www.robertsmithphotography.co.uk

Given the chance to create his own bespoke bike, Neil Pedoe used Trek's do-it-yourself Project One system to spec and colour co-ordinate a super-high-end road machine, and he loved the end result.

• Frame: Highly technical, super-light, super-stiff but above all incredibly comfortable (9/10)
• Handling: Assured cornering for such a light frame; ultra-efficient at climbing and sprinting (9/10)
• Equipment: The spec options are wide and various for all budgets – we went for extravagant (9/10)
• Wheels: The stiff and aerodynamic Bontrager Aeolus 5.0s are the perfect addition to such a quick, comfortable frame (9/10)

Some of you are going to ask why, if you’ve got this kind of money to spend on a custom bike, you would ignore all those elitist boutique brands with their cachet of exclusivity. Anyone can buy a Trek, can’t they?

The best reason is simply that Trek have spent all the time and money needed to try to make the best multi-day stage racing bike in the world.

Given that less than a year ago Alberto Contador won the Tour de France on the same frame, closely followed by Lance Armstrong in third on another one, it would be hard to argue that they haven’t succeeded.

Suit you, sir

“Fifty eight,” says Jeremy Barker as I walk over to shake the hand of the man in charge of bike fitting at Bath’s John’s Bikes . Thinking he’s guessing my age I’m a little gutted, then quickly realise he’s having an ‘educated guess’ at what size my custom Project One 6 Series Trek should be. An hour’s measuring and chatting later and he’s confirmed what he already knew.

Jeremy is included in the price of a Project One Trek – or at least the benefit of his or your chosen Trek dealer’s bike fitting experience is – because this isn’t a bike you can just walk into a shop and buy, and you can’t buy it online either.

But what you can do online is tweak, fiddle and fantasise to your heart’s content on Trek’s Project One website, with thousands of different custom paint finish, colour scheme and bike specification combinations to create your dream bike.

On the paint scheme front alone there are five Select Series schemes that come at no extra charge, and then 11 different Signature series colour schemes, each of which can be customised too. As can the detail colours of your wheels, cables, bar tape and even seat detailing.

The paint selection was fairly simple for me – I chose the one that looked like it had been made to match the new Cycling Plus team kit, with fantastic looking colour coded semi-deep Bontrager Aeolus 5 carbon clinchers to match. Nice. The price of this Custom Flames paint job is about £320 extra – but look: they’ve even sprayed the fork with flames.

Once you’re done, you can save your creation and tweak it another day, print it out or get the site to send it to your local Trek dealer to get your order under way.

You don’t have to start with a blank sheet though, and there are default specification levels provided all the way through for those not so keen on spending evenings on an online shopping experience.

Adding the compulsory dealer is a clever feature of the customisation route – Trek let you mess around online as much as you like but add the control of a trusted local bike shop’s Jeremy Barker to make sure you don’t mess up your own dream bike.

The only thing that’s not custom about the Project One is the choice of three basic frame geometries. They are a women’s WSD model, the Pro and the Performance. The only difference between the two men’s models is that the Performance has a 30mm higher front stack.

Ma Madone à moi

Apparently, most people buy the Performance. You might notice I’ve got about 3cm of spacers under my stem anyway, so perhaps I wouldn’t have needed them if I hadn’t gone for the Pro. But I’ve got time trials planned this year, and fancy seeing just how low I can go.

The groupset I chose was SRAM Red – mainly because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. To be honest, it takes some getting used to. If you tend to ride on the hoods a lot, you need to be very careful with your fingers. If they’re flapping around when you get out of the saddle it’s very easy to accidentally downshift. The upshift is more time-consuming than even Ultegra, which is a bit of a shame, because it's a good looking groupset.

The wheel choice is pure extravagance, and accounts for going on £1,500 of the build. But not only do Bontrager’s Aeolus 5.0 clinchers look awesome, they ride faultlessly too, with no flex even under the biggest climbing loads. There are 11 sets of rims to choose from, right up to a deeper Aeolus 9.0 clincher.

Normally I go for 175mm cranks, but as my knees are getting creakier, I went for slightly shorter 172.5, and of course a compact double. Like a certain rider from Texas, I subscribe to the high cadence school of pedalling. Unlike Mr Armstrong my power-to-weight ratio means I need some pretty small gears though. So a small 34-tooth inner chainring on the front and a generous 11-26 cassette on the back should see me round most of the hilly sportives I’ll be aiming for in 2010.

You can get two lengths of seat cap on the Madone: either 135mm or 175mm, the shorter of which was right on the limit line for me. So I just swapped it. It’s a great system, and means there’s no weakening slot needed in the top of the seat tube.

One of my favourite touches on the Madone is the Duotrap sensor in the rear left chainstay, which picks up the cadence from the crank on one side, and speed, mileage and so on from the back wheel. It transmits all this data via a wireless Ant+ signal, which means that all that money you spent on your fancy Garmin Edge or other high-end bike computer is not wasted. You’ll also never be able to cable tie widgets to your top-end bike with a clear conscience again.

On the road

The ride is simply awesome. The biggest surprise is how comfortable it is. I was reluctant to take Levi Leipheimer’s word for it when he says on Trek’s website that it’s the most comfortable bike he’s ever ridden – he is after all a hardened pro. I'm neither pro nor hardened but do happen to agree.

The impressive thing here is that despite this comfort, the Madone is stunningly efficient at going forward. Trek tell us this is thanks to the extra girth of the 90mm wide bottom bracket, the OCLV carbon tubing and all manner of other carbon building black magic. The bottom line is it rides beautifully.

Okay, so my Project One is incredibly expensive, but consider that you can spec up the same awesome Tour de France-winning frame with a 105 groupset and less fancy kit for £2,800, and you realise just how versatile this custom build can be.

This review is part of a series of bespoke bike tests that we'll be featuring on BikeRadar over the next month.

Pez-Test: TREK 5900

I was giggling like a school-girl… I’d just received the call from Dizzy Cycles – my local wrench-meisters and shop ‘o choice, advising me that it had arrived. The Trek 5900 that is. The same bike* that Trek provides to Lance and the US Postal boys! I giggled some more.

One of the best things about being a roadie is the level of refinement to which we can become accustomed. As geometries, technical and weight advantages become more standardized, it’s the details that start to make a bigger difference to satisfaction of ownership. The Trek 5900, 2003 model, delivers everything a refined roadie expects, but also a lot more.

Aesthetcially, the standout feature on this baby has got to be the frame – it’s a thing ‘o beauty. Sure it’s light, lightest in the world according to Trek, and with a full bike weight under 16 pounds (size: 54cm), who’s to argue? But the finish on the joints, the curves, the depth of that paint – makes ya say “ooooh baby”! Every joint is seamless, the smooth finish begs for a coat of wax lest it become dirty, and like a fine single malt, you must first behold the beauty, savour it, appreciate the hours of craftsmanship that created it. There’ll be lot’s of time for riding later.

Of course you’d expect this in a bike that is topline, and at around $4700US, this bike definitely hangs with some elite company.

OCLV FOR BEGINNERS I talked with John Riley from Trek, who gave me the insider info on Trek’s patented OCLV technology. “Optimal Compaction Low Void” – it’s how they combine carbon fibers and aluminum lugs to create a frame that is light, stiff, but subtle to ride. Quick production lesson for all you non-poindexters – carbon fiber is… just that, a bunch of fibers made from carbon, that get wrapped around/ into/ onto a frame mould. The whole batch gets glued together, kind of like working with papier-mache. Because you’re weaving many layers together to create a shape, there are inherently some air pockets, or VOIDS that exist betweem the layers of fibers. The pockets are weak points in the structure. OCLV is Trek’s way of squishing out the air-pockets to reduce the VOIDS, and make the frame stronger and stiffer. The head tube, down tube, top tube, and seat post all become one piece of seamlessly finished carbon art.

The OCLV technology is about 9 years old, now but Trek is not about to rest on their laurels. The bike is constantly being refined, with actual input from US Postal and Lance himself. In fact, Trek has two guys whose full-time job is to travel with US Postal as technical liasons – how’d you like that job!

Most importantly, it passed my own personal litmus test (you know you’ve all got one…) – does this product make me faster, or at least “feel” faster? The Trek scored full marks all around. Now, this was largely because I actually was going faster, but even rolling around my block I couldn’t wait to get ‘er on the open road – bring on the Spring winds, bring on the climbs – nothing can stop me now! But more on that in the next few weeks as we road test this bad boy to give you the full ride story.

So if you’re a serious racer looking for every weight advantage you can find, or someone with a fat wallet and an appreciation for rolling art, this bike is for you. Stay tuned for our full-on road test!

Tech review - November 11, 2004

On test: trek madone 5.9 project one, peloton workhorse.

Introduced during the 2003 Tour de France, the Trek Madone 5.9 was the first of a whole new range of carbon bikes that have gradually replaced the venerable 5XXX series at the top of the Trek range. John Stevenson hit the road on one to find out what makes it tick.

Trek's Madone series of carbon fiber bikes made its debut in the 2003 Tour de France and in one incarnation or another Madones have since become the official bikes of Lance Armstrong and the US Postal team (the Discovery Channel team from 2005). With the range expanded to three frames for 2005, the Madone 5.9 is still the bike billed as US Postal's official ride, though Armstrong himself rode the bike only briefly in 2003 and chose the madone SL and SSL in 2004.

Unlike a lot of the companies that we've seen suddenly become carbon experts in the last couple of years, Trek is no newcomer to carbon fiber bicycles. The first carbon Treks were bonded, lugged frames in which the aluminium tubes used in Trek's cheaper bikes were swapped out for carbon fiber ones, a move that saved weight but didn't really exploit all the possibilities of the material.

In 1992 Trek introduced its OCLV carbon process. The acronym stands for Optimum Compaction Low Void, and indicates the pressure-moulding process Trek uses to makes its tubes. The objective is to squeeze as much of the resin matrix as possible out of the composite, leaving only enough to glue together the important carbon fibers themselves.

Over the years Trek has improved its OCLV process by using stronger varieties of carbon fiber. Just as in metallic frame construction, a stronger material means less of it is required and resulting frame is lighter. The Madone 5.9 uses a material Trek calls OCLV 110 carbon fiber, the designation indicating a weight of 110g/m^2 for the carbon fiber sheets Trek obtains from its supplier.

This is the same material previously used for the Trek 5900 Superlight, the top bike in Trek's range a couple of years ago. Like the 5900, the Madone uses OCLV tubes bonded to carbon lugs, a construction method Trek is clearly very comfortable with. The Madone's lugs are more compact and less curvaceous than the 5900's and the result is a more conventional-looking frame. Or it would be, but for the Madone's shaped tubes. The seat tube extends backwards toward the rear tyre and the down tube gradually swells backwards then thins again about three-quarters of the way down. It's a look you'll either love or hate. More on that topic later.

Our test Madone 5.9 was hung with a complete Dura-Ace ten-speed group, with one striking exception: Bontrager's feathery Race XXX Lite carbon fiber tubular wheels, shod with Clement Criterium tyres. However, for most of the test we used Shimano Dura-Ace clincher wheels. The Race XXX Lites are gorgeous, but for someone who hasn't messed about with tubulars for two decades their repair issues make them impractical for day-to-day riding.

Our bike also showcases Trek's Project One custom paint, in a tasteful red/yellow/silver combination - some extremely, ahem, eye-catching options are available in the scheme which adds US$500 to the price of the bike.

This Madone 5.9 happens to be the same size as Lance Armstrong's: 58cm. Trek has always made quite a fuss in its advertising about how Armstrong rides a stock bike and the numbers here are nothing out of the ordinary: 73 degree seat tube, 73.8 degree head tube and an effective top tube length of 57.2cm. Despite being the same height as Armstrong I have shorter legs. Under me the 58cm Madone has a distinctly old school look with about an inch less post showing, but otherwise it fits well right out of the box.

The Madone 5.9 and Trek's other top-end OCLV road frames from the 5000 up are available in seven sizes from 50cm to 62cm, in 2cm increments. The Madone SL 5.2 is also available in four women's-specific sizes, 47cm, 51cm, 54cm and 56cm.

The Dura-Ace ten-speed group behaves pretty much as you'd expect a professional-level component set to behave. The gears click smoothly from sprocket to sprocket, the brakes stop you in complete control and everything turns as smoothly as a baby's bum. My colleague Anthony Tan recently gave a full low-down on the Dura-Ace group , and I can't fault his comments, though he's being a wuss about the left-lever downshift force.

That said, a couple of random observations about impressive aspects of the group.

The chainset is a thing of beauty, to these eyes at least. Yes, the design is unusual compared to previous chainsets, but the mechanical simplicity and wider bearing stance are huge advantages. The square taper of yore was a foul, prehistoric design that needed abandoning, but Shimano's first stab at a replacement with the Octalink spline wasn't much better - problems were still reported with it despite apparently competent assembly. It's hard to see what could go wrong the Hollowtech II design, with its belt-and-braces approach of a tensioning cap and clamp bolts, and it's been a big hit on the mountain bike side of cycling.

The brakes are just superb. Plenty of power and even, predictable modulation. Best of all, as I discovered recently when the weather turned damp and the number of taxi drivers trying to kill me skyrocketed, they work almost as well in the wet as in the dry.

In over 1,500km of riding I can't remember the shifting giving me any grief at all, in any way. It Just Works. Admittedly I haven't raced it, but I submit that dicing through Sydney rush-hour traffic is easily as hard on a bike as racing - both require a reckless disregard for looking after the bike, as looking after number one comes rather to the fore. The Dura-Ace group lets you get on with it.

Finishing kit

Bontrager supplies most of the Madone's parts that don't carry the Trek or Shimano names: the bar and stem, saddle and post and wheels.

The Race XXX Lite wheels are far and away the most attention-catching part of the Bontrager 'group' on the Madone. Retailing for US$1500 if you bought them on their own, these wheels make a huge contribution to the low weight of the Madone, lopping off about 500g compared to the Shimano wheels and Hutchinson tyres we used for much of the test.

Switching the wheels did seem to make a noticeable difference to the character of the bike. With the Bontragers fitted, the bike's pick-up heft was perceptibly reduced and that seemed to translate to an improvement in acceleration and climbing on the road. Now, I can hear the physicists out there gnashing their teeth already. Stevenson weighs 80kg, the bike weighs another 7.5kg or so - losing 500g off the combination, a tad over half a percent, is not going to make a difference you can feel.

I have always been sceptical about the things cyclists claim they can feel, too. Physicists, I hear you. But those elusive words 'performance' and 'efficiency' in cycling come as much from the head as from the legs, heart and lungs. If you convince yourself that something will make you go faster, often it will. I know the Bontragers are lighter, there's a definite difference in the way they feel and sound as they roll down the road, so I perceive them as better - and ride better to match. Anyway, when your legs, heart and lungs are as mediocre as mine, I'll take all the psychological benefits I can get thankyouverymuch.

Bontrager's Carbon Stop pads are a must with these wheels, by the way. In the course of the test I happened to throw on a set of Zero Gravity brakes with Koolstop pads. The brake howl with the Race XXX Lites woke sleeping nightshift workers three streets away. (And Zero Gravity has now switched to Corima pads intended for carbon rims, which should solve that problem.)

The bar and stem are a 31.8mm clamp Bontrager Race X Lite OS combo. The stem is forged and then machined to its final shape and has a two-bolt clamp that allows easy stem changes to fine-tune position. The bar is a Modolo-style 'anatomic' shape with a flat section in the bend. Someone at Trek knows what they're doing with bike set-up - the brake levers were perfectly positioned so that you could reach the ends from the flat section.

We reviewed the Bontrager Race X Lite seatpost a couple of months ago and our opinion hasn't changed - if it provides the setback you need, this is an excellent post with a sensible combination of weight and infinitely fine angle adjustability. Perched on top is a 2004 Bontrager Race Lite saddle that I'll admit to being indifferent about. I like Bontrager's FS 2000 mountain bike saddle a lot, but this incarnation of the Race Lite is a shade too flat for me. But saddles are a very personal thing anyway.

On the road

There's nothing flashy, surprising or even terribly exciting about the Madone's ride. In many ways it's very much a Trek. The company is known for solid, functional, unfussy designs that get the job done, and done well, but don't generate slavering excitement the way bikes from some more exotic companies do.

This is good.

Like any race bike, the Madone is a tool for winning races. Its job is provide the rider with a platform for turning training into trophies. It shouldn't be in any way distracting or irritating to ride, and it needs to be as comfortable at the end of a long ride as it is at the beginning. That characteristic Trek neutrality, which could be interpreted as a lack of excitement, is a virtue in a race bike.

The Madone's handling, then, is unobtrusive. It complies evenly and smoothly when you point it into a turn and holds its line confidently round curves even at high speed. It responds willingly to rider input, but without that feeling of puppy-dog enthusiasm that characterises some very light bikes. Nevertheless, I found myself climbing in higher gears than on my regular rig and keeping up with riders who usually leave me behind.

This is also an almost eerily quiet bike. Carbon frames often build into relatively noisy bikes as the large internal voids and big surfaces amplify every road impact or bit of flying grit. The Madone seems to damp down the noise from these things, and instead rolls along silently and - here's that word again - without fuss. It's a pet theory of mine that a lot of the things we perceive about bikes, in terms of whether they are 'lively', 'harsh' or 'responsive' are actually down to their acoustic properties, and I suspect that the quiet nature of the Madone is the reason why I'm reaching for adjectives like 'solid', 'reliable' and 'competent' to describe it.

Whatever the source of its character, the Madone is a bike that exudes reassuring dependability. This is a 'get you home' rig that does the job whether the job is the dash to the office (for which I concede it's hugely overkill, but fun anyway) or a long day in the saddle followed by a sprint for the line.

What's Lance's problem?

The all-important question, then, is what didn't Armstrong like about the Madone 5.9? It's a matter of record that the bike appeared under him for just a couple of stages of the 2003 Tour, then vanished. This year, Armstrong campaigned new versions of the bike, the Madone SL and SSL and seemed to be perfectly happy with them. Well, it's hard to imagine a man who's just won his sixth Tour de France as being anything other than perfectly happy.

We're into speculative territory here, a country of the unknowing where the one-idea man is king, as Trek and Armstrong aren't saying why the original Madone came and went so quickly from the Armstrong fleet. Speculation number one: the 2003 Tour wasn't exactly a cakewalk for Armstrong. Of all his Tour victories it was visibly the hardest. Maybe he just didn't want the distraction of a different bike, and so swapped back to his old faithful 5500 and 5900 Ultralight. When things aren't going your way, there's comfort in a familiar tool.

Speculation number 2: Armstrong thinks the shaped frame tubes of the Madone are silly. The prosecution offers no direct evidence for this assertion, m'lud, but instead presents Exhibit A, the 2005 Madone SL and Exhibit B, the Madone SSL. These are the bikes Armstrong rode to devastating effect in the 2004 Tour and neither has the shaped down tube and seat tube of the Madone. They are uncluttered, purposeful, clean and conservative.

Now, none of this is to say that there's anything wrong with the Madone's shaped tubes. I certainly couldn't detect any downside to them, and they don't stop the Madone from being an incredibly solid, reliable-feeling workhorse of a bike. But I seriously doubt they add anything very significant in the way of rigidity or aerodynamics either, which makes the 'hot or not' call one purely of aesthetics. If you like your bikes to look traditional - and Armstrong seems to be very much a bike traditionalist despite his long-ago background as a triathlete - then you're going to prefer the looks of the Madone SL and SSL.

Lance Armstrong may prefer other bikes in his quiver, but the Madone 5.9 works just fine for me. I'm aware that this is yet another highly positive Cyclingnews review of yet another carbon fiber wonderbike, but yet again I can't find any serious flaws with the Madone 5.9. The current crop of high-end bikes is generally extraordinarily good - I don't think there's ever been a time in history when you had this much choice if you had a large wad of cash burning a hole in your pocket and a hankering for a pro-quality bike. The Madone 5.9 is another that you should test ride on the way to that final purchase decision.

RBA Test: Trek Project One Madone

The 2012 season was a big one for Trek when they unveiled a completely redesigned Madone mere months after debuting the race-winning Domane with its impressively effective IsoSpeed decoupler rear-suspension design. Earlier this year Trek called and spoke of an updated Madone in the works and asked if we’d be interested in ordering a new Madone 7 test bike through their unique Project One custom- build program. ‘A new Madone already?’ we asked ourselves. Well, not exactly.

THE FRAME When Trek went away from the standard seatstay-mounted rear brake on the Madone in favor of the direct-mount design on the chainstays, it helped them achieve their goal of increasing the bike’s aerodynamics, but they never could provide the braking power in the rear that we’ve become accustomed to. A new rear-end layup meant to improve rear braking power is the bike’s most notable change. And although visually it’s nearly identical to the previous design, the keenest of eyes will notice a size increase to the driveside chainstay. All other tube shapings stay the same, including the Kamm Tail Virtual Foil downtube, seat tube and fork blades, which allow Trek to achieve superior aerodynamics over a round or square tube without an added weight penalty. In terms of frame weight, the new Madone drops 25 grams, putting it with the industry super-lights at a claimed 725 grams (56cm with U5 Vapor Coat paint).

While the Madone joins an elite group in terms of weight, it stands alone among major brands in the fact that its OCLV carbon frame is made in the U.S. at Trek’s Waterloo, Wisconsin, facility. Something as distinguishing as this should get some attention, but for whatever reason, it gets very little. A small ‘Made in the USA’ sticker on the seat mast is all that acknowledges its origin, while ‘Designed in Waterloo, Wisconsin’ stickers on the seatstays occupy much more premium real estate. In addition to the various Project One paint options, two head tube lengths are available on the Madone: the H1 and a longer H2 version. We opted for the shorter H1 (3cm shorter on a 56cm frame), which allowed us to get into our ideal position with 1.5cm of spacers under the stem.

THE PARTS ‘Go wild’ was what we remember hearing Trek say when it came time to building our Madone test bike through Project One. Without a doubt, the P1 build program is the most complete custom-build program available in the industry today. And to maximize the opportunity, we invited RBA readers to play a role in our ‘Build Your Dream Bike’ contest. We had nearly 500 entries, with no two bikes exactly the same, thanks to Project One’s thousands of color combinations available for the frame, as well as a selection of SRAM, Campagnolo and Shimano groups, and all the Bontrager wheels, handlebars, stems and saddles to choose from. There were also options of SRM and Quarq power meters, ceramic bottom bracket bearings, in addition to color choices for handlebar tape, hood covers and cable housing.

For the build, we went with the latest Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 9070 drivetrain, along with their little-seen dual-post brakes, Bontrager Aeolus 3 carbon clinchers, XXX Lite handlebar and stem, along with a Paradigm XXX saddle. The whole package weighed in at just 14.2 pounds (56cm). Pricing for a stock Madone 7 Series starts at $7199, or $4399 as a frameset, but our Project One build was a ‘wild’ $12,463.

THE RIDE Let’s face it, the most notable feature of the new Madone is the fix to the chainstays to bring back needed stiffness and braking power. And that’s a good thing, because the 2012 version we rode suffered in both departments-although the poor braking could also be blamed on the janky in-house Bontrager brakes. Happily, our bike’s Dura-Ace post-mount brakes helped deliver a noticeable improvement in rear braking power compared to last year’s Madone. Although overall power is still slightly less than a standard seatstay- mounted Dura-Ace 9000 caliper setup, what the Madone and its brake design give up in sheer maximum power, they make up for with superior modulation, allowing us to better use what it does have.

On the road, the Madone is a pleasure to ride in any situation. It’s clear that although designed as a race bike, Trek believes that compliance is of equal importance in the bike’s DNA as the stiffness-to-weight ratio. Even with the 1 1/8-inch to 1 1/2- inch tapered head tube, the Madone has the smoothest ride of any non-endurance style road bike on the market. This isn’t necessarily something new to the Madone and is in fact aided by the Ride Tuned seat mast that gives it an extra level of compliance compared to a standard seatpost. Unlike other integrated seatpost designs that give minimal saddle-height adjustment, the Madone offers 6cm of adjustment. Combining the smooth ride with a longish 99.3cm wheelbase and impressive torsional rigidity from the head tube all the way to the rear dropouts, it handles high-speed corners with a graceful ease. This was a much-appreciated trait when barreling down serpentine descents through the Alps during the L’Etape du Tour.

THE VERDICT When you drop this kind of money on a bike with this kind of price, making any sort of concessions on performance is a deal-breaker. Fortunately, the Madone’s updates are spot-on. The improved rear braking and overall torsional stiffness let you take advantage of the rest of the bike’s skill set-a superb ride quality with exceptional handling. Although the Madone’s brakeless seatstays give it a unique look as is, Trek’s Project One paint and component options are something few others in the industry can come close to providing. The U.S.- made 6 Series Madone also receives the same frame updates and starts at $4599 for the complete or $3599 as a frameset.

PUNCH LINES ? Real individuality courtesy of Project One ? American-made-why not celebrate it? ? Top-of-the-line Madone could bankrupt a small country STATS Price: $12,463 (as tested) Weight: 14.2 pounds Sizes: 50, 52, 54, 56 (tested), 58, 60, 62cm For more info: Trek Bikes Road Bike Action

Trek Madone 600 series vs. 700 series OCLV carbon

As an owner of the new 6 SSL Series Madone, I have found that is a big difference in how the bike rides compared to the previous 2009 5.5 OCLV Madone I had. The bike is noticeably lighter and the ride quality is dumbfounding absurd. This is my opinion, but if you have the time to test ride a 6 series versus the other Madone series, I highly recommend it. After test riding the new 2012 5.5 Madone, the TCT 5.5 Madone, 6.2 Madone and the SSL, I was able to discern the difference in how the bikes handled the rougher roads, hills, and corners. As for the TCT vs. OCLV, I believe there is a difference in the actual material (at the molecular level) in which the carbon is made from. My point is that the new carbon technology, whether OCLV, OCLV2, 2012 OCLV, or TCT, is always going to make an impact on how the bike rides. At least in my experience. If you have the money, I highly recommend the 6 series (SSL or not) but if you are on a budget, the other series Madones work beautifully as well. But again, this is just my opinion... Either way, the Madone series has won my heart.
