Trek Madone SL6 Disc review

Mar 2020 · Warren Rossiter

Trek with the unique design of the Madone and its IsoSpeed back-end means it doesn’t have to drop the stays for comfort or minimise the size of the stays for flex because IsoSpeed isolates the seat tube from the stays and top tube.. .

Highs
  • Awesome ride

  • Racy handling

Lows
  • A bit weighty

Aug 2019 · Stu Bowers

Trek proves hands down that disc brakes, true-aero race geometry, light weight and sublime comfort no longer need to be conflicting

Highs
  • Incredibly comfy rear end that’s adjustable to suit rider preference

  • Super fast

  • With handling to back it up

Lows
  • You may need to sell a kidney or remortgage the house to afford one

Seriously fast aero race bike with great handling, but not the smoothest and not the ultimate spec it should be
