Trek Madone 9-Series
Trek Madone 9-Series
The Trek Madone 9-Series broke cover at the Criterium du Dauphine this year and was officially unveiled to the public ahead of the Tour de France. We were there for the launch.
A radical revamp over the previous Madone includes taking a remodelled IsoSpeed decoupler – built to boost comfort – from the firm’s Domane Classics bike, and integrating it into what is an unbridled aero machine.

Still, this is no heavyweight and the frame tips the scales at a claimed 950g and Trek have pulled no punches when it comes to rolling out the hyperbole for a machine they call ‘the ultimate race bike’.
Integration is at the heart of the bike, with features including a one-piece aero handlebar and stem, ‘Vector Wings’ on the fork and the ‘Control Centre’, which houses the front derailleur’s trim dial on a mechanical groupset and the Di2 junction box and battery on an electronic groupset.
