Pros | Lighter and faster than ever | Quick handling | Potential gravel-dabbling versatility | Light and aerodynamic |
Cons | Difficult to assemble | Slightly sensitive in crosswinds | Very expensive, even for base-level models. | Firm ride suffers when combined with poor road surfaces and 25mm tire |
Final verdict | Madone SLR 7 is the best and lightest aero road frame, but it's the all-new Iso Flow technology that actually makes this bike stand out. | The Madone SLR 9 is likely to be the fastest Trek road bike in 2022. However, it carries flaws in its tire specification and is quite expensive. | With Domane SLR 9 Gen you're getting tech that offers a real advantage in reliability, comfort, and speed during all-day adventures, long races, or competitive group rides. However, consider its price as it is expensive | This Émonda SLR 9 is everything a fully-fledged, modern race bike should be: stiff, extremely light, and responsive, while still factoring in aerodynamics and providing confident handling. |
