Brand-New Trek Madone SL 6 Gen 7 Review

Mike from Big Bear Bikes reviews the brand-new Trek Madone SL 6 Gen 7!

The new Trek Madone is Trek's fastest ever road bike and the new SL give you the same aerodynamic platform, IsoFlow technology and the ability to spec the bike with the same components you find on the Madone SLR - but with a huge saving!

Di2, carbon wheels, aero frame, 8kg-ish, and the fact Trek moved away from BB90 makes this an incredible deal. I got a feeling I'd easily be able to maintain over 40km per hour on the flats easier compared to my old Emonda SLR.

I brought the SLR version and i got it down to 16.6 lbs using TPU inner tubes..the bike is quick, holds speed, and is very comfortable..i just got rid of my 2022 tarmac sl7 s-works because it would beat me up after just 40miles..the madone is much more comfortable and still fast...i used to be a specialized fan boy but nowadays i have no loyalty to these brands..lol

I really enjoyed this complete review ! Great presentation 👍🤠

6k is not cheap for a bike but in the world of enthusiast cycling where top spec bikes are 10k+, this is a good buy

[akpitts]

This bike and channel are for enthusiasts. If you enjoy cycling and spend hours a week on a road bike, you are probably willing to spend some money on a nicer bike than the casual rider.

With that being said, this is an incredible price for a bike of this caliber. This review was great and informative for the viewer.

On another note, I would like to add the all-new Trek Madone, SL 7 with Ultegra Di2 and a mid-size crank for $6500 US (the SL 6 is $5500 US). This is actually a better deal than the SL 6... That is if you are an enthusiast. 😊

Nice. I have it ordered, now a long wait of 6 months.
Size 60, maybe the seatpost will fit me, I have relatively short legs for my height 🙈
Update:
At the beginning of February, I called my dealer to see if the delivery date was valid (originally mid-March) and they told me that the bike would be delayed, it would be at the end of July.
You're out of your mind, 9 months to deliver one with the excuse of a crappy bike.
The whole of January and even now in March I will think about whether to wait. The weather is on my side so far, but I have already studied the Canyon Aeroroad CF SLX Di2 or the Willier Filante SL Ultegra Di2 as they are in stock.
Shame on Trek, shame on the European representation of the brand in Germany, which is not able to deliver the bike for such a long period, they make excuses for administration and lack of components.

Guys to be honest the guy that commented before is right 5999 for a bike is not a choice for the everyday man is for the enthusiasts at least all tho it’s a beautiful bike if you are braking the 2K barrier it doesn’t make sense for any one who is not training for a race or something

[gourami]

Nice review and yes this is a good deal compared to the SLR but both prices points a little high

Is it possible to put aerobars on those handlebars ?

[JohnGene]

What parts would you need to order to use the one piece bar?

[FlorianAbrahamson]

Would love to see the black version, is it matt bare carbon or just matt black?

[Thomas-]

do you think shimano 105 is not good enough for racing

[Printing_D_XYCore]

bike frame height ? This bike on the Video ? Please

[thierrysf]

105 Di2 on an almost 6000 pound bike, this is absolutely insane. These big brands think we are completely stupid. Most of us are not and TREK is going to die.

[dan]

£5, 600 for a bike with the 105 groupset which is a great groupset, but not even Ultegra at that price. WOW. My Canyon cost $1800 US and it has the 105. No wonder they say Canyon is a good value. Their $2100 CF 8 has the Ultegra groupset. Come on It is a gorgeous bike though.

[danieleverywhere]

hahaha....Shimano 105 for 5600 punds?
or is it samae as in USA when you buy one get one free?
my MTB is only kilo heavier

[topfitnessssss]

You guys having a laugh RIGHT ??? Since when a 5600 pounds bike is affordable by most ?? Mostly in England where people can no longer pay their bills LOL You guys are selling a DREAM BIKE
😅

[jmurphy]

You could just buy a canyon aeroad with better components and wheels and less weight cheaper.

[Ghost]

You don't need a 2 piece cockpit n a performance-design bike.

[diggers]

Bikes are now made increasingly difficult and expensive to service, repair and maintain, they are heavier, and stupidly expensive to buy. Looks nice tho.

[tuber]

$5500 for a bicycle for the everyman?!?!? You are absolutely crazy!!!! You don't know what everyman median income looks like. I think $1000 is more reasonable
