BikeRadarThe new Madone is plainly a fast bike.
CyclistA bike as fast as the Madone and as light as the Émonda is as good as it sounds, and it makes easy work of choosing the right bike.

Trek’s new eighth-generation Madone is lightweight, aerodynamic, and fast—the road bike raced by Lidl-Trek in the 2024 Tour de France.

A revamped Trek Madone Gen 8 has a frame that slices through the wind and sails up climbs

Trek's new Madone supersedes its aero champion and kills off the Emonda altogether - matching both historic models is a tall order, though
Fantastic ride quality and comfort
Rigid in power transfer and handling
Stunningly light
A blisteringly fast bike
A slanting water bottle is a problematic life partner
Pricey in the higher spec models

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

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.
