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.

Trek OCLV 120 vs. 110

• Add to quote

What are differences in ride and handling between the (2004) OCLV 110 and 120? Is the stock headset prone to problems? Can a Chris King be installed on the frame? Thanks for your feedback.  

not too much of a difference... The oclv 110 is a little lighter, but i beleive also gives up a little comfort compared to the heavier oclv 120. But, when i say heavier, i think the weight difference in the frames are very minimal. I have the oclv 120 frame, and its vrey comfortable, but i cannot compare it to the 110 due to the fact i have not ridden it, but its still carbon, so im guessing its still pretty comfortable. The bottom line is, theres not much difference unless youre a hardcore weight weenie.  

trek schmek they are overrated an overpriced if its anything like my brothers' 110 hes has had constant headset trouble, not too mention the frikin steerer tube isnt even solid carbon but aluminum  

Kenyon get a life If its not your taste fine but don't bash something you know NOTHING about. I advise you to not open your mouth in social circles if you don't have the information. Besides if he is having trouble with his fork, it is more likely the bearings in his headset and is easily solvable by a competant mechanic. Aluminum steerer tubes are no better or worse then carbon steer tubes. Think before you post please. Trek are not over priced by any means. In fact, popular belief states you get the most performance in the 1900-2500 dollar range for a high end pure carbon bike from a Trek. Not liking them is NOT thumbing your nose at conformity either, so save it! The 110 is more stiff and light. The name 120 vs 110 is in reference to the actual amount of carbon in the layering process. I have owned both and do own both currently. I ride 6+ hours on the 110 and it is more then adequate for comfort. The forks on both models are different. I prefer the 110. Everything from ride comfort to quality can be changed by your wheels and seat so bear that in mind. I'd get the frame you like the looks of more and or can afford

Haha! "".....an we've actually several 'competant' mechs look at it jerkoff. an basically its a production issue, so %$#%$ off pisshead"" Why I oughtta........hahahaahaha  

First And Last Warning play nice or don't play at all. http://www.roadbikereview.com/guidelinescrx.aspx please review the above forum guidelines. posts such as this will not be tolerated. thank you and have a nice day.  

Eeeeezzzeeee tough guy We all know the responsibility being Administrator bears and we appreciate it. However, Kenyon and myself are exchanging some playful antagonism. Please make the distinction in the future when it is necessarry to "threat" ie "First and Last warning" the members of the board and when simple disagreements are not versed in a manner of polite articulate expression. Just because we are being candid we eachother doesn't merit breaking the rules. You might find more success in undermining the tendancies that fuel angry posts ( which the above are not ) by other methods. For example, you could send a private message or perhaps approach it like Doug did by simply asking the posters to be nice and soliciting common sense that they not put him in the awkward position of admonishing members of the board. Or you could put a picture of Dirty Harry instead of James Brown on crack for your avatar and start using the word "punks and Jamf" alot LOL ! Certainly RBR is no place for "catharsis" and giving vent to angry banter or personal attacks but it was unecessarry here in this case to try and circumvent a potential plethora of vindictive posts. But you just started the job so, I'm sure you'll find the balance as Doug did Besides its not your fault Kenyon is failing in cognitive guidance right? Muhuhuhuhuhuhu HAHAAHH hohohoh hehehe whooooooo just kidn Kenyon NOTE TO READERS: The above does not reflect the beliefs and convictions of Road Bike Review nor is the behavior condoned or recommended by any of its administrators or sponsers. Please do not attempt this at home unless you live in Canada or have more then one ip address =)

J's being easy on both of you. I would have given you (Carbon110 a warning) and deleted Kenyon's post altogether. -gregg

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.

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.

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!

*NOTE: The bike we tested is the standard issue Trek 5900, and not exactly the same in all aspects as the Team issue bike ridden by US Postal. Some parts and components may vary as dictated by team sponsorshiop and rider preferences.

Trek bikes range: which model is right for you?

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

The humble beginning of Trek bicycles took place in the "red barn" - once a carpet warehouse - in Waterloo, USA. The first bikes were steel touring frames , but within three years the brand had expanded substantially.

Eventually outgrowing the barn, Trek moved into a much larger headquarters - still in Waterloo - in the year 1980. From there it began to manufacture road racing bikes, then in 1983 created its first mountain bike before moving into accessories come 1984.

Having started out in steel, Trek moved into developing aluminium bikes in 1985. The first Trek branded full carbon frame came in 1989 - the Trek 5000 had a frame weight of 1.5kg. It was built by an outside manufacturer and discontinued after a year. Trek made its own efforts at carbon, with an in-house production, in 1992 to much greater success.

>>> Trek mountain bikes: which model is right for you?

Now, Trek offers the Madone (aero bike), Domane (endurance bike), Emonda (lightweight race bike) and Checkpoint (gravel bike) as well as the Boone cyclocross and Speed Concept time trial machine.

Trek's OCLV Carbon

You can trust Cycling Weekly. Our team of experts put in hard miles testing cycling tech and will always share honest, unbiased advice to help you choose. Find out more about how we test.

Trek's carbon bikes have always used their own patented 'OCLV carbon' - this stands for Optimum Compaction Low Void. It believes this carbon creates the best compromise between low weight and high strength and stiffness.

Optimum Compaction refers to the way sheets of carbon are layered into the mould, and optimised via heat and pressure - in Trek's opinion the two treatments are administered to the perfect ratio. Low Void refers to the minimisation of space between the layers of carbon, which might otherwise reduce strength and durability.

In 1995, Trek opened an independent facility inWhitewater, Wisconsin. The idea being that the Waterloo factory would work in frame development only. For those who want to customise their ride, the'Project One' custom paint programme arrived in 2001.

Trek's pro cycling support

Trek supported now disgraced American cyclist, Lance Armstrong, through his peak years. In 1997, it helped him sign with their sponsored team, US Postal Service Pro Cycling. He won his seven editions of the Tour de Frances on bikes bearing the brand name, but all of said wins were later taken from him following doping violations.

In 2014, the brand sponsored the Trek Factory Racing Team, now calledTrek–Segafredo. In that role, it provided bikes for high profile winners such as Fabian Cancellara and Alberto Contador,as well as Jens Voigt, and notably his Hour Record in September 2014.

In 2020, Trek continued to support the Trek-Segafredo men's and women's race outfits, two highly successful teams.

Trek's acquisitions

Over the years, Trek has made a number of high profile acquisitions. The most famous, perhaps, Gary Fisher bicycles - the mountain bike brand which it took over in 1993.

Later came Bontrager Cycles in 1995 and Electra Bicycle Company in 2014. Bontrager, now Trek's component and apparel brand, maintains the same name as does Electra, the creator of leisure bikes and accessories.

Trek's road bike models

Trek is able to offer a wide range of different bikes, each tuned to a slightly different purpose. Some model families are available in a selection of standards (SLR premium carbon, SL carbon, ALR premium aluminium and AL aluminium), and then these come with assorted levels of componentry to suit your price bracket.

To add even more depth to the range, Trek offers many models in two different 'fits'. The Madone and Émonda come as standard in an H2 (traditional) fit, but there are versions in what it calls 'H1' fit. This is more aggressive, shaving off about 30mm on the head tube to create a longer, lower ride. The Domane comes in an H2 'Endurance' fit, with a few models in 'Pro Endurance', again with a longer and lower stance on offer.

Here's a look at the key model families...

Trek Domane

Our expert review:

Reasons to buy

Reasons to avoid.

The Trek Domane was introduced in 2012. It was created to offer a comfortable ride, the key feature being an IsoSpeed decoupler which separated the seat tube from the top tube, thus reducing vibrations and fatigue.

In 2016 it gained theFront IsoSpeed, which helps to reduce vibrations at the front end without impacting handling. This came alongside a new slider, which alters the level of dampening offered by the rear.

In its most recent update , the Domane took notes from the Madone with an aero fork profile, whilst becoming more versatile thanks to clearance for 38mm tyres (without mudguards, 35mm with). It also gained a downtube compartment for stashing tools (or snacks!).

Though comfort is important to the Trek Domane, it's still a racing frame, and its prowess has been demonstrated by UCI WorldTour riders at major one-day Classics, such as Strade Bianche and the Tour of Flanders. The top Domane bikes come with an H1.5 fit, which was developed with the Trek-Segafredo teams to offer the optimal balance between aerodynamics and endurance.

The Trek Domane - available as a men's build or with women's specific componentry - is a fast selling model, which comes in a range of frame materials.

The Domane SLR uses the lightest carbon Trek offers, the SL is one step down, whilst the AL uses aluminium and is the cheapest of the range.

Trek Madone

The Trek Madone is quite another beast, and the bikes come built for men and women; the latter's models with women's saddles and narrower handlebars . With an aggressive geometry and stiffness to boot, it's a road race hero, and aerodynamics have become part of its lifeblood. When we tested five aero bikes , head to head, the Trek Madone came out fastest.

Modern Trek Madone's feature a high level of integration, with the cables tucked away yet reachable via an access point at the top of the down tube.Wind tunnel testing has helped Trek to create theirKVF (Kammtail Virtual Foil) tube shapes, used on the frame and fork. These unconventional tube shapes are designed to further reduce drag, helping the rider/bike unit to slice through the air efficiently.

Because being bumped around doesn't make you faster, the Madone also features an IsoSpeed decoupler at the seat tube and more recently an adjustable one at the head tube, which offers greater compliance whilst still being integrated to prevent adding drag.

The newest model, according to Trek, can offer 17 per cent more compliance through to 21 per cent more stiffness, depending upon your chosen setting. A damper at the seatpost is also said to cut rebound by 13 per cent. All of these stats add up to a bike that can be comfortable and stiff at the same time - and one that earned a place in our 2018 Editor's Choice awards.

The majority of the bikes come in a more relaxed 'H2' geometry, save for the Madone SLR, which is in an 'H1.5' fit - this is designed to allow riders to achieve an H1 fit or an H2, depending upon their set up.

Trek Émonda

Adding more depth to the Trek family is the Trek Émonda, launched in 2014. Designed to be a climbing bike, newer adaptations are capable of negotiating mixed terrains - with disc brakes available and tyre clearance to 28mm.

>>> Trek Émonda range explained

Trek continues to work on developing the Émonda, dropping the weight of the top end Trek Émonda SLR to 640g in a size 56cm (665g with discs) and 1091g for the Trek Émonda SL (1149g with discs). The weight difference is largely achieved by the use of700 Series OCLV carbon on the SLR, as opposed to 500 series on the SL.

The aluminium model has seen some major work and the result earned it a place in the Editor's Choice 2019 awards. The key characteristic we loved was the way it simply didn't look, or ride, like aluminium. A lot of this is down to Trek's 'Invisible Weld Technology' which increases the surface area of the frame, adding to strength and reducing weight. The ALR model's frame weight comes in at a competitive 1112g, or 1131g with discs, and it uses the brand's 300 Series Alpha Aluminium.

The carbon models are available in 'SLR' build or 'SL', the former being the lightest and the latter more affordable. The majority of Trek Émonda bikes cone in an 'H2' fit, but they can be purchased in an 'H1' geometry, if you choose the top end 'Race Shop' version.

There are a few nods to neatness and integration around, such as the use of 'Blendr Integration' which seamlessly mounts Bontrager’s cycling computer, Ionbike lights or even Garmin computers directly to the handlebars. On SLR versions there's ‘Control Freak Cable Management’ which allows for shifter and brake cables to be housed through the frame.

Trek Checkpoint

With gravel and adventure bikes a fast growing category, the Checkpoint is Trek's offering to fill that sector. The crucial element here is that both the SL and ALR frame options come fitted out with 35c gravel tyres, and can accommodate rubber up to 45c. They've all got internal cable routing, to ensure much stays out, whilst the higher end models use 'Control Freak' routing which is neater.

>>> Best gravel bikes: the top models reviewed

If you opt for the carbon SL model, you get vibration dampening from an IsoSpeed decoupler at the rear, too.  To provide stability and confidence on light trails as well as comfort on all-day adventures, the geometry is not as aggressive as the road bikes elsewhere in the range. Such all-day rides warrant plenty of kit, so there's mounts for racks and mounts. Similar to elsewhere in the range, there's AL, ALR and SL models.

Trek Speed Concept

Trek's Speed Concept time trial bike has been raced by the pros yet is still seen on the amateur race scene as a popular option.

>>> Check out Fabian Cancellara's 2016 Speed Concept

The frames use 500 Series OCLV Carbon, boasting the KVF (Kammtail Virtual Foil) tube shapes described in the Madone, plus a carbon fork with integrated brake and stem - the key goal being cutting through the air quickly.There's space to fit Trek's SC Draft Box and SC Sped Box, largely used by triathletes carrying snacks.

Trek Boone 5

Trek's got plenty of experience in the muddy realm of off-road cycling - and they've got a selection of cyclocross bikes. The Trek Boone 7 model comes with hydraulic disc brakes, a one-by crank and 12-speed cassette and they've all got Bontrager's own 33c cyclocross tyres.

The frame material is Trek's 600 series OCLV carbon, and there's front and rear IsoSpeed decouplers to help riders negotiate the mud without excess transfer of vibration. Combining the mud ready tyres, disc brakes, 'cross focused cable routing and geo into an aluminium package is the Trek Crockett family.

They key differentiation is the frame material, which is300 Series Alpha Aluminium, and there's no decoupler. However, it's still a performance bike that's ready to race.

Trek's new Elite 9.9 hardtail: A new era in hardtail performance

One notable absence from this year's Interbike exhibition is Trek. The company took the opportunity...

One notable absence from this year's Interbike exhibition is Trek. The company took the opportunity to gather industry journalists at the 2005 US National Mountain Bike Championships in Mammoth Mountain, California and unveil an evolution in their hardtail mountain bike line. Cyclingnews ' Steve Medcroft was there to see the new 9.9, which replaces Trek's OCLV carbon honeycomb-based 9.8.

Trek's Brand Manager Zapata Espinoza said that the initiatives that led to the enhancements in the 9.9 came from the top of the company. "We wanted to bring something new to our hardtail line," he said at the meeting. "The goals were to build a frame at least 300 grams lighter than the 9.8 (the 17.5" version of the new frame weighs 1,250g) that rode a little less harsh, to improve wheel clearance for larger-width tyres and make use of some of the things we learned in the Madone project."

The most significant thing Trek learned with the Madone was to use OCLV 110 Carbon and build the frame around molded lugs. The one-piece head tube/top tube lug, the bottom bracket lug and a seat tube/down tube lug make up the major joints in the frame. By hand-laying these lugs in one piece, Trek design engineer Scott Neilson said, Trek gains "greater control over the properties of the front end of the bike".

The 9.9 is an evolution of Trek's original all-carbon hardtail, the 9.8, which debuted in 1999 and hadn't changed significantly in six years. "The 9.8 was used by championship-calibre riders like Travis Brown, Ruthie Matthes, Allison Sydor and Roland Green to win everything from World Cup, world championship and national championship titles," explained Espinoza.
