The Trek Madone SL 5 Gen 8 brings cutting-edge aero frame design to a wider audience. Sharing its chassis design with Trek’s flagship SLR models, this version uses 500 Series OCLV Carbon and Full System Foil tube shaping to enhance aerodynamic performance across the bike and rider system. It’s fast on the flats, composed on descents, and efficient on the climbs.
At the heart of its comfort and efficiency is IsoFlow seat tube technology. This innovative frame feature increases vertical compliance by allowing controlled flex at the saddle while maintaining stiffness elsewhere. That means you can stay lower for longer, ride harder and recover quicker without compromising performance.
The drivetrain is Shimano’s proven 105 R7100 12-speed mechanical groupset, offering smooth, reliable shifting and a familiar ergonomic feel. It's a workhorse system that balances value with crisp performance, giving you the gearing range of a race bike without the expense of electronic components. The 50/34 chainrings paired with an 11-34T cassette ensure plenty of range for high-speed sections and punchy climbs.
Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and RT70 rotors give you superb braking control and confidence, whether you're cornering at speed or descending technical terrain. The Bontrager Paradigm SL wheels offer lightweight performance and are tubeless-ready, meaning you can upgrade to reduce punctures and improve rolling resistance. They're wrapped in Bontrager R1 700x28mm tyres for balanced grip and durability.
Finishing touches like the Trek RCS Pro stem, Bontrager Comp alloy bars, and Madone aero carbon seatpost round out the package, giving you a fast, capable bike that doesn’t cut corners where it matters. The T47 bottom bracket adds service-friendly durability, while internal cable routing keeps the aesthetic clean and aerodynamic.
Whether you're stepping up to your first performance road bike or chasing podiums without breaking the bank, the Madone SL 5 Gen 8 brings together advanced engineering and trusted components in one race-worthy ride.
