Highs

  • Slick drivetrain

  • Lots of adaptability

Lows
  • Fully hydraulic disc brake upgrade will require full drivetrain swap out

  • Annoying saddle material

2024 Trek Domane AL 2 Gen 4 review: Budget all-road - Escape Collective

Feb 2024 · Dave Rome

Trek’s most budget road bike, revamped, and still with class-leading tyre clearance.

Highs
  • 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.

Lows
  • 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.

2023 Trek Domane SLR review: A tauter ride, but some curious loose threads - CyclingTips

Feb 2023 · James Huang

Trek’s latest iteration of its Domane all-roader packs more performance than ever, but there are also some big missteps that give me pause.

Highs
  • Superb rear-end ride quality, stiff and efficient-feeling under power, excellent handling, sleek aesthetics, competitively weight.

Lows
  • Ride quality still a little imbalanced, creaky IsoSpeed/seatpost area, exposed headset bearing, internal housing rub, disappointing tires.

Trek Domane SLR 9 review: Can a £13k+ bike ever warrant such a price?

Jan 2023 · Josh Croxton

Fewer Isospeeds means it's a little less comfortable, but the new Domane SLR 9 is fast, fun, and ready for an adventure

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • Oh boy is it pricey

  • I would hope for top-spec tyres at this price
