  • Stunningly light

Lows
  • The accompanying water bottles may take some getting used to

Goodbye Emonda: Trek goes all-in with the new Madone Gen 8  - Escape Collective

Jun 27, 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.

Highs
  • 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.

Lows
  • 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.

From Trek

Our fastest and lightest unite

Take flight on the all-new Madone Gen 8, an earth-shattering fusion of our lightest and fastest superbikes. Whether you’re powering up climbs or sprinting across the finish line, Madone Gen 8 was designed with input from the world’s top racers to be the best wherever you ride it.

Insanely aero. Impossibly light. Wildly thrilling. Other road race bikes claim to be the best in the world.
We aim to prove them wrong.

Equal parts Madone. Equal parts Émonda. Madone Gen 8 is the best of both worlds.

  • As light as Émonda

  • As fast as Madone Gen 7

  • +77 seconds/hour faster than Émonda

  • -320 grams lighter than Madone Gen 7

Entirely new carbon and revolutionary aero tube shapes

We created our highest-level carbon ever to help make Madone Gen 8 the best ultra-lightweight climbing superbike inside and out. All-new 900 Series OCLV Carbon is made with up to 20% stronger fibers and a more efficient molding process, which lets us use less material to shave even more weight without sacrificing stiffness. Our best-ever carbon paired with revolutionary new aero shapes and a new one-piece carbon fork help make Madone Gen 8 aero where it matters most, and crazy light everywhere else.

New aero tube shapes and aero-optimized rider system

Madone Gen 8 features revolutionary new Full System Foil aero tube shapes that improve airflow over the whole bike while maintaining the lightness climbers crave. Plus, the bike’s entire rider system — rider position, cockpit, frame, components, and all-new RSL Aero Bottles and Cages — was meticulously designed and rigorously tested to be faster everywhere.

80% more vertical compliance

Trek-exclusive IsoFlow technology flexes over bumps in the road to provide a smoother ride, improves aerodynamics, and shaves weight to save precious seconds in the saddle. We refined our race-focused comfort tech to be lighter and more comfortable with 80% more vertical compliance than the previous version.

New Road sizing

We updated our sizing system to fit an even wider range of riders while consolidating the number of sizes and reducing overlap to make it easier to find the right size for you.
