Light as Émonda, fast as Madone, it’s the best of both worlds.
What might be the worst kept secret in the bike industry has finally been revealed, Trek have offically launched the new Madone Gen 8, combining the lightweight Emonda and Aero Madone Models. First spotted under the Lidl trek team a few weeks back, the Madone Gen 8 is as light as the current Emonda and more aero than the the Gen 7 Madone that it replaces.
Madone Gen 8’s updated IsoFlow technology is even lighter and up to 80% more vertically compliant than before, absorbing road chatter so your customers can ride stronger longer.
Lighter than the previous Madone frameset
Seconds/hour faster than the previous Émonda*
*At 200W as a rider system (bike, rider, bottles/cages, and components)
The frame has been released in SLR and SL models using 900 and 500 series OCLV carbon and paired with an updated Aero RSL Road Integrated Bar/Stem made with uber-light OCLV Carbon, ultra-fast aero shapes, and hoods that are 3cm narrower than the drops. Multiple builds are available for each frame type so there’s a race bike to suit all budgets.
Speed is in the details, and the RSL Aero Water Bottle and Cage (included with Madone SLR, available for SL) was designed as part of Madone’s rider system for extra aero savings. Plus, it’s UCI compliant and can fit standard round bottles, too.
