Trek Madone Gen 7: The making of the ultimate race bike

[@ivanbb1070]

Was never a fan of previous Trek bike designs until now. This is the best looking aero design currently out there! Especially, in the Satin Quicksilver colour! Just love that colour /design! I hope to eventually upgrade to this bike even though I don't really need such a high end race bike.

[@noureddineelaroussi7680]

The biggest feature you guys came out with is the $14.000 price tag, now, I paid $8.000 for my 2019 Nissan Altima, that thing weigh a ton, your bike weigh 6Kg and you still managed to convince people it's worth that price tag, that's what I call genius!

[@Lambo.Hobbies]

Lol I feel ya, that price is STUPID.

[@trevorgoodman3027]

0:05 even that guy was laughing to himself saying that bs

[@davemathew]

The bike for rich fat guys worried about aerodynamics.

I bought a liter bike for $45k and it's not worth it at all. One rain and it will ruin my ride

[@phenofinder9145]

Nice work with the gen 7

[@andrewa.3304]

Got my 2023 P1 slr7 madone in viper red and i was surprise how nimble it was on the climbs almost the same feeling when i ride my 2023 emonda sl6 pro and i get a lot of compliments👍

[@trekbikes]

Love to hear it!

[@KaroAlgaro]

This bike literally changed my life! I can’t even imagine myself riding any other bike. Riding and taking care of it feels indescribable.

[@techwitharunith2067]

Fan of the trek as alaays collest design loved it..❤️

[@mustangman5402]

I would love to experience the Madone, but not sure I could own one(13k)

[@Timmy4700]

The sexiest bike out there 🥵

[@The_Real_Edgar_Allen_Poe]

Hey Trek, any plan to release an effective seat post clamp for the Domane SL5 Gen 4? I have the REV 2 clamp but the seat post still slips, regardless how many times I apply carbon paste, or bring it to the shop I purchased it. It’s so frustrating

[@Flashback_Jack]

Design looks great, but Trek, I suggest you do some pre-emptive reassuring because that seatpost looks fragile as hell and many online share that sentiment. Great bicycles should last decades with proper care and while this (the SL7 version) is one of two bicycles I'm comparing for an eventual purchase--the other is the exceptional value Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 8.0 Di2--but I just can't imagine any sort of real longevity for that seatpost even with any average sort of riding with the expected occasional bump. I know carbon has come a long way but I'm not sure I'm convinced at this point, personally.

[@eduardoschneider2010]

nice, but, were you high when setting the price?

[@Cycling_in_ja]

I need one so bad 😢

[@BobMcAllan]

@trek - Can you please explain the differences between OCLV 800 and 500. Understanding that there is a weight difference, through using less higher strength carbon, however does that change also adjust the ride. i.e. are the ride qualities of the SLR and SL imperceivable, when racing (!).

[@trekbikes]

Weight and stiffness are the two big factors that differentiate our carbon series. Our higher series, like OCLV 800, cuts weight from OCLV 500 by using a new carbon layup. The carbon layup factors in the type of fibers, the thickness, and the direction or type of weave that lead into the strength, stiffness, and of course, weight. So while we can't spill the secret sauce, we change this layup between different OCLV series' to offer unique weights and stiffness that benefit your ride. In a race, weight and stiffness matter so you can put the power to the pavement.

Why are your framesets 2000$ more in Europe than in the US ?

[@Ghostina1]

I want that bike in Gloss Lichen

[@fen2453]

Make more gen7 SLs.

[@trekbikes]

Come check out the Gen 8 SL 😉 trek.bike/ExploreMadoneGen8

[@grasho]

What is the rider weight limit with this isoflow system? Looks like it should be more limited than traditional frame setup...

[@MedvedActual]

They seem to all be listed at 275lbs. It is on Trek's website.

[@skotsephrenia1]

This bike is insanely priced... If your filthy rich and money is not an object for you go for it... But for an ordinary Jo like me.. That is a insane money and I rather spend it on some other bike brand like canyon or GIANT Propel..

[@jammaggay498]

Damn I wish I had that bike😅😂

[@MicroageHD]

Where are the damn rim brakes... Will have to stick with my current Emonda SLR rim brake model until you finally come to your senses again...

[@RS-ft7nv]

Never thought a bicycle would cost this much 😂

[@faridulislam938]

oh great

[@rivercloud32]

Why better than the Specialized S-Works SL8. But we want a rim brake model IYKYK

[@NoahStephens]

No “we” don’t 😂

[@mmurmurjohnson2368]

Yes sir, a doper's bike IYKYK

[@MedvedActual]

Nope. Keep that 80s shit technology in the 80s.

[@andyrob6565]

bros yappin

[@SonnyDarvish]

So, you're telling me this bike is lighter, stiffer and faster?

[@trekbikes]

You heard right!

[@brianmcg321]

More vertically compliant and laterally stiff.

[@LOGICAL-JAY]

I own the trek madone SLR gen7 dura ace and the bike is much faster than my S-works SL7 and my SL8 tarmac..it really holds the speed well..its very nimble and comfortable at the same time..I was so suprised..

[@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeed]

Can you guys make me a rim break Madone?

[@tanqinxiang]

I've the 2018 ones. The Madone brake is shit compared to shimano.

[@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeed]

@@tanqinxiang There was never a better break system created then the one that the2015 to 2018 Madone had. The brake system is not one piece like the Shimano which ships and you'll get rim rub if it's loose. The Madone brake system is individually mounted on the frame. Each side individually moves. They are very similar to the campagnolo Delta brakes.

[@tanqinxiang]

@@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeed didn't the campagnolo delta meet it's match when the shimano released their dual pivot brakes used till modern days? The delta design is supposed to be inferior?

[@go2yanks]

@@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeedthe integrated brakes on the Madone 9 are some of the worst rim brakes I’ve ever had the displeasure of relying on. They’re truly terrible, to the point that when Trek did the 2019 Madone SLR they made a completely different front brake system that was marginally better but still pretty terrible compared to traditional dual pivot systems.

[@xe2bio64]

[@roadracer1584]

Genetics determines if you'll be fast on a bike. Save your money spending big bucks on a bike and choose your parents wisely. If you're talented you'll kick everybody's ass even if you ride a Walmart mass produced Chinese cheapster bike.

[@rogerhonacki5610]

I like the new bar setup a lot. But as an engineer I like the failure mode of the old Madone Isospeed seat post so much better. When the new seat post fails, falling off the bike into the rear wheel with my gonads is too much risk for me. Further, it’s just a stupid looking design. Sorry Trek, I hate the “Skank-Tail Madone”.

[@Lambo.Hobbies]

"And I can't wait for you to get to experience it" Yeah tooootally gonna be a breeze to be able to experience and afford a bike for $13K... idiocy... Also, this is the same exact video they made a year ago for it, they couldn't even be bothered to make a new video for it, just do a lazy re-upload and re-title...

[@MedvedActual]

Where are you seeing $14k? SLR7 Gen 7 is listed at $9k.

[@Lambo.Hobbies]

@@MedvedActual The SLR 9 is the one I’m looking at

[@MightyMeqi]
