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
