It had its idiosyncrasies – including flip-out 'Vector Wings’ in the head tube – but we wish every new bike offered as many interesting features as the Trek Madone 9 Series did back in 2015
Oct 2023 · James Huang
The same cutting-edge aerodynamic performance of Trek’s flagship Madone SLR, distilled into a much more affordable package.
Heaps lighter than before
Tangibly speedy
Surprisingly good ride quality
Superb handling
Lots of tire clearance
User-friendly two-piece cockpit
Sharp lines.
Polarizing IsoFlow aesthetics
Poor weathersealing
Narrow wheels and tires.

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.
May 2023 · Simon von Bromley
The seventh-generation Madone is an excellent all-round performer, but it comes with a big price tag
Composed yet fast
Innovative design
Front end can run both integrated and non-integrated handlebar setups
Wide range of frame sizes
Expensive
No power meter
Mid-range tyres and cheap inner tubes don’t belong on this bike
Dec 2022 · Sam Challis
The new Madone is leaner, meaner and wickedly quick
Very fast ride feel
Smart componentry design
Light weight
Comfort
Price
Narrow bars take some getting used to
Vulnerable in gusty conditions
Dec 2022 · Ronan Mc Laughlin
The "ultimate race bike" has only a few minor flaws – and the hole in the seat tube isn't (exactly) one of them.
Seriously expensive, IsoFlow equals spray flow, fit can be tricky.
Dec 2022 · Julian Schwede
Does the new IsoFlow system of the 2023 Trek Madone SLR 9 eTap Gen 7 really rise the bar in terms of aeroynamics and comfort?
Very balanced handling at high speeds
Reduced complexity and improved aerodynamics of the IsoFlow system
Customisation options thanks to the Project One configurator
High-quality workmanship
The damping of the IsoFlow system isn’t adjustable
The Bontrager R4 tires lack grip
