Trek’s most budget road bike, revamped, and still with class-leading tyre clearance.
Room for 40 mm tyres has this one ready for the gravel-curious. Solid build kit and frame will shrug off loaded commuting and mixed surfaces. Ready for fenders and a rack. Welcoming geometry and comfortable touch points.
Disc brakes make for a heavy bike
And the mechanical disc brakes here aren’t stellar. Heavy wheels and tyres make the bike feel more sluggish than it wants to be. Through-headset cable routing makes no sense on a bike with mechanical gears and brakes. Ultimately cheap gearing and brakes for a bike that
While Trek’s entry-level
Isn’t as affordable as it should be.

Can the Trek Domane SLR 7 AXS Gen 4 prove to be the ultimate all-road bike and adventure buddy in our 2023 all-road group test?
Coherent and versatile concept
Very comfortable thanks to the inconspicuously integrated IsoSpeed system
Timeless look that you won’t get tired of looking at
Internally routed cables rattle loudly

Big tire clearance and lower weight give the new Trek Domane AL generation 4 all-road bike credibility both on road and on dirt.

The Domane AL 4 Disc is a good budget endurance bike that’s excellent on the road and very capable away from it
Well rounded, coherent ride
Great comfort
Useful practicality
Crankset deviation
Squeaky-feeling saddle
Thin handlebar tape

Fewer Isospeeds means it's a little less comfortable, but the new Domane SLR 9 is fast, fun, and ready for an adventure
Easy to use storage compartment with neat & organising tool wrap
Simplified Isospeed vibration damping
38mm tyre clearance
Power meter included
Neat, low-maintenance integrated cockpit
Oh boy is it pricey
I would hope for top-spec tyres at this price

The Domane is a tremendously smooth bike thanks to Trek’s IsoSpeed rear damping system and high volume, 32mm tubeless tyres
Comfort
Handling
Descending
Over-engineered

The new Domane is everything great about the old bike, plus lighter and quicker.
