Trek's new Madone supersedes its aero champion and kills off the Emonda altogether - so is this one bike to rule them all?
Fantastic ride quality and comfort
Rigid in power transfer and handling
Stunningly light
A blisteringly fast bike
The accompanying water bottles may take some getting used to
Jun 2024 · Dave Rome
Trek’s latest generation Madone and now all-rounder road race bike. It replaces the pre-existing Madone SL and SLR, along with the Emonda carbon range.
Improved ride quality
Unapologetically a race bike
Unique looks
Easily adjustable stem height with efforts taken to simplify headset compatibility
Madone SL now lighter than previous SLR
And now equipped with appropriate tyre widths.
Still not the lightest option nor the most aero bike Trek could make
Trek’s own aero bottles are an integral part of the bike’s aero performance
Headset still lacks sealing.
Nov 2023 · Mat Brett
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

If someone wanted to encapsulate the shifting trends of race bikes over the past 20 years, there is no better

Gen 7 model uses IsoFlow technology from SLR
Aug 2023
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
