Remembering the Trek Madone 9 Series road bike: a bit odd... but very cool

  • Innovative design

  • Front end can run both integrated and non-integrated handlebar setups

  • Wide range of frame sizes

Lows
  • Expensive

  • No power meter

  • Mid-range tyres and cheap inner tubes don’t belong on this bike

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?

  • Customisation options thanks to the Project One configurator

  • High-quality workmanship

Lows
  • The damping of the IsoFlow system isn’t adjustable
