It had its idiosyncrasies – including flip-out 'Vector Wings’ in the head tube – but we wish every new bike offered as many interesting features as the Trek Madone 9 Series did back in 2015

Gen 7 model uses IsoFlow technology from SLR
Aug 2023 · Troy Templin
The Trek Madone SL Gen 7 now completes the line matching the more expensive SLR and offers almost the same ride quality.
May 2023 · Simon von Bromley
The seventh-generation Madone is an excellent all-round performer, but it comes with a big price tag
Composed yet fast
Innovative design
Front end can run both integrated and non-integrated handlebar setups
Wide range of frame sizes
Expensive
No power meter
Mid-range tyres and cheap inner tubes don’t belong on this bike
Dec 2022 · Sam Challis
The new Madone is leaner, meaner and wickedly quick
Very fast ride feel
Smart componentry design
Light weight
Comfort
Price
Narrow bars take some getting used to
Vulnerable in gusty conditions

Does the new IsoFlow system of the 2023 Trek Madone SLR 9 eTap Gen 7 really rise the bar in terms of aeroynamics and comfort?
Very balanced handling at high speeds
Reduced complexity and improved aerodynamics of the IsoFlow system
Customisation options thanks to the Project One configurator
High-quality workmanship
The damping of the IsoFlow system isn’t adjustable
The Bontrager R4 tires lack grip

Unusually good ride quality and the handling is brilliant, but it’s hard not to notice the heft when you point it uphill.
Superb aerodynamics, comfy ride, excellent handling, accommodating cockpit design, threaded bottom bracket.
So-so front-end ride, so heavy.
