Want to go fast for less? Trek’s new Madone SL Gen 7 looks to deliver SLR performance at a (much) lower price point.
BikerumorThe Madone’s greatest strength is that it manages to feel like a non-aero bike, but faster.
BikeRadarWe are riding a spaceship. It reacts the way we wanted, aggressive in corners, the bike goes where you want it to go.

Gen 7 model uses IsoFlow technology from SLR

Trek's new Madone SL Gen 7 is set to deliver SLR performance at a (much) lower price point. So — is the Madone SLR worth the extra money?
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.
Jun 2022 · James Huang
The seventh-generation Madone is lighter, faster, still kind of comfy, and has always-available DRS.
Nov 2021 · James Huang
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.
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.. .
Awesome ride
Racy handling
A bit weighty
Dec 2019 · Symon Lewis
Cycling Weekly has shown that the Trek Madone is one of the fastest aero bikes available today, but has the update with discs made it even better? I certainly think so

Trek proves hands down that disc brakes, true-aero race geometry, light weight and sublime comfort no longer need to be conflicting
Incredibly comfy rear end that’s adjustable to suit rider preference
Super fast
With handling to back it up
You may need to sell a kidney or remortgage the house to afford one
