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.
