Spartacus' race-winning machine from 2016 was a world away from the bikes of the pro peloton in 2025, and even nine years ago mechanical shifting at this level was becoming a rarity

The Trek Domane SL7 endurance road bike comes in a wide variety of specs, prices and with disc or rim brakes. But the real selling point is the IsoSpeed decouplers front and rear that reduce bumps and impact forces to improve long distance cycling comfort. Read our Trek Domane review for tech details & more!
