Trek Madone SLR 9 Disc review

Apr 2019 · Benjamin Topf

The Trek Madone SLR 9 Disc with its IsoSpeed has already won our aero-bike group test. But is the all-round performance of the Madone good enough?

Highs
  • Integration

  • Rear-end comfort with adjustable IsoSpeed damping

  • High-speed performance

Lows
  • Front-end could provide more comfort

  • Compact cranks only work up to 50 km/h 😉
