Trek Domane SL6 Review

[@whichypoohs]

Love my second hand Domane …. Will definitely buy Trek when I want to upgrade. LOVE TREK

[@BigBearBikes]

Have fun! Thanks BBB 👍

I uptraded my '21 Domane SL 5 (bought in June '20) for the '23 Domane SL6 Gen 4 for the Di2 shifting and slightly lighter weight. I kept my Bontrager Pro51 wheelset that replaced the factory wheelset (long story). What a combination to have! Bike is awesome, fast, stable, and allows for long rides. I don't have any issues cycling in the mountains, Skyline Drive in Virginia, USA is AWESOME!! As for the battery, I get a month out of riding before shifting and average 100-120 miles per month.

Great review. I bought this bike yesterday, on sale, from $5300 to $4500. This is my first road bike and the first bike I've purchased since 1997. I never thought I would pay $4500 for a bicycle but I told myself that this was an investment in health, fitness, mental, and leisure. The bike is amazing. It's referred to as the AXS or ETap. It uses SRAM Rival electronic shifting. I prefer SRAM over Di2 because it's easier to use and the shifting is simple. I took it out yesterday for a test ride of about 10 miles. It performed amazingly. Carbon makes a big difference, and comfort-wise, it was great. The 32mm tires makes it even more comfortable. I am not any type of hardcore rider, I don't race, I don't do group ride, and I don't belong to any clubs. I just ride for enjoyment and cardio. I could have gotten away with the Domane AL 5 Gen 4 or any non-carbon fiber non-electrical shifting model for the type of riding I do. But I thought to myself, "what the heck." But I'm loving this bike and glad I went with Trek over the other brands.

Love the geometry since my geometry is like a 🦖

[@trevekneebone369]

Ha ha! Same 🤣

[@trevekneebone369]

I think if I had a custom bike, I'd just get them to copy the Domane geometry.

[@diegoeleazar9154]

@@trevekneebone369 I wish the standard geometry of endurance bikes are like Domane.

[@BigBearBikes]

Haha 👍. Thanks BBB.

[@charliedock2621]

Having a look on treks site they only do black or blue for a SL6. I must prefer the red I must check, thank you brilliant explanation about all the bikes they have

[@BigBearBikes]

Hi, and thanks for the great feedback. Hopefully you will get the bike you want. ATB BBB 👍

[@glennanderson2790]

So other than the front ISO Speed is the frame on the Domane SL6 the same frame as the Checkpoint SL6 ?

[@BigBearBikes]

They are very different in their intended use, frame design and features. Thanks BBB.

[@BigBearBikes]

Sorry the bike isn't £1000. Thanks BBB.

@@BigBearBikes you might be thinking of the aluminum series actually

[@edwardchen2712]

Hi! EMONDA SL6 or TARMAC SL7, which is better?

[@BigBearBikes]

We are Trek dealers, so we can't compare unfortunately. The Emonda is a very popular bike for us. Thanks BBB 👍.

[@raleighkellyc9375]

Yeah well trek better step up their iso speed noise pro or they be coughing up &12000 on a return

[@BigBearBikes]

Thanks BBB.

[@Parr_World]

Unfortunately, Trek STILL! has not fixed their iso seat issues with the seat dropping and noisy. Fix that, and it is a great bike. This same issue has been here since Gen 3 to Gen 4 so there is no real excuse for them NOT fixing the issues. Sad and false advertisement which is turning a lot of buyers away and they have even tried to hide the known falt as well.

[@BigBearBikes]

Thanks for the information. BBB 👍

[@raleighkellyc9375]

Hey @parr__world I been having similar issue with my trek Madone SLR 7 ,periodically I have to come in to get the ISO speed/seat post area tighten up , know each time I ride it get a little noisy I’m really pissed I spent$11000 project one icon

[@Parr_World]

@@raleighkellyc9375 I got a Specialized Roubaix and very happy :)

[@BigBearBikes]

​@@raleighkellyc9375Thanks BBB.

[@mad4tar77]

I've seen so many owners talking about seat slipping down and rattling from the isospeed. I was considering a Domane, but think I'll go for a Specialized Roubaix, can't be dealing with those isospeed problems.
