Cons

  • Front IsoSpeed may not match full suspension systems

Key Quotes
The new Domane’s ride is more equal at the ends.
Bicycling
Considering my 'cobbles' are less like Paris-Roubaix and more like the incessant cracks and gaps of Tucson’s city roads, the Domane is equally adept at smoothing our daily 'classics'.

Trek has accomplished the Holy Grail of endurance bikes with the Domane, demonstrating both compliance and power transfer in the frame and phenomenal climbing to boot.
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
If you’re after a bike that will put you at the front of races and keep you comfortable on six, seven, eight-hour rides, then the Trek Domane SLR is hard to beat.
Cycling Weekly logoCycling Weekly
Trek accomplished exactly what we’ve been asking for in the endurance category: a comfortable race bike that actually feels like a race bike, not a cruiser’s cousin.

Trek Domane SLR 9.9 Project One first ride review

Jul 2019 · Rob Spedding

The headline figures for the new Trek Domane SLR are impressive — Trek claims the bike is up to 27 per cent more compliant than the previous flagship Domane, “one minute per hour faster” than the last model and the top-end Project One version we were given to test around the roads of Padova, Italy, has a £9,650 / €10,500 ($ N/A) price tag.. .

Highs
  • Incredible levels of comfort, potential gravel-dabbling versatility and the adjustable IsoSpeed system is genuinely useful

Lows
  • Very expensive, even for base-level models
