The ideal first road bike?
Easy going handling
Entertaining when the effort goes in
Slick drivetrain
Lots of adaptability
Fully hydraulic disc brake upgrade will require full drivetrain swap out
Annoying saddle material

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

Now on its fourth iteration, the Trek Domane AL is packed with updates, a lighter frame, and room for larger tires.

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.

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
