Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Trek Madone SL 6 AXS Gen 8 Road Bike in Gloss Dark Star/Matte Deep Smoke

Season:2026

Brand:Trek

Code:57663BLK

The Madone SL 6 AXS Gen 8 is the lightest Madone SL disc ever, featuring new light and fast aero tube shaping.

The Madone SL 6 AXS Gen 8 is a lightweight aero road bike that brings elite racing tech to a lower price point with a more economical OCLV 500 Carbon lay-up than its SLR sibling. A SRAM Rival AXS E1 electronic groupset delivers lightning-fast electronic shifting and pairs with alloy handlebars to keep the price down. Plus, it is topped off with carbon wheels for extra lightweight performance.

New light and fast aero tube shaping paired with light-yet-economical 500 Series OCLV Carbon makes Gen 8 the lightest Madone SL disc F/S ever and the ideal climbing bike. Revolutionary new full system foil aero tube shapes improve airflow over the whole bike while maintaining the lightness that climbers crave. Plus, the bike's entire rider system was meticulously designed and rigorously tested to be faster everywhere.

Trek refined the race-focused comfort tech to be lighter and have nearly double the vertical compliance so you can ride stronger for longer. The Madone SL was informed by feedback from Lidl-Trek's fastest sprinters and climbers.

The Madone Gen 8 features hoods that are narrower than the drops so you can adjust your positioning to prioritise aerodynamics or power. Plus, the two-piece design lets you quickly and easily dial in your fit. The add-on RSL aero bottles and cages were designed with Madone full system foil aero shapes to make the whole rider system even faster.
