Trek Domane AL 3 review

A lot of road bike for not so much money

A ride reminiscent of Trek’s carbon Domane model, fantastic value, luxurious touches, good looks

Stopping power let down by sub-par brake pads

trek domane 3 al disc

Among sub-$1000/£1,000 road bikes, Trek’s Domane AL 3 offers a fantastic, but not perfect, road bike capable of pleasing both neophyte and seasoned cyclists alike. Its aluminum frame, carbon fork and Shimano Sora running gear take you anywhere a more expensive might, but with more money left over for mid-ride snacks , riding accessories or investing in bitcoin.

  • Pinnacle Iroko 1 review
  • Saracen Mantra Trail review

Latest, lightest and most aero get the most attention in the world of cycling, but what about a bike for the average rider who isn’t interested in taking out a second mortgage in order to buy a bike?

Thankfully, budget bikes are alive and well. And Trek’s Domane AL 3 represents one of the best sub-$1000/£1,000 bikes on the market.

Trek Domane AL 3 frame and fork

The Domane AL 3 is an aluminum steed with endurance geometry and rim brakes. (While disc brakes are increasingly popular on road bikes, in this price point, you’ll get a lot more for your money if you stick with rim brakes) Trek’s Alpha Aluminum frame is the heart of the bike.

With sculpted tube shapes, a threaded bottom bracket, clean external cable management and a 27.2mm seatpost, the Domane frame ticks a lot of boxes for those in search of an easily serviceable bicycle.

Interesting derailleur cable routing, with both front and rear derailleur cables going to the non-driveside of the down tube, keeps the bike looking clean, especially in profile. At the front of affairs is the IsoSpeed Carbon fork, though with an alloy steerer, that Trek claims absorbs road vibrations more than other designs.

The frame and fork both feature healthy tire clearance around the stock Bontrager T2 28mm tires. I would guess a pair of 30mm tires would fit with ease. This would enhance the bike’s already smooth ride and lend increased confidence to newer riders and those looking to take in a few dirt segments.

While not quite as efficient at absorbing bumps as the Domane SLR — Trek’s more expensive carbon version — the AL 3 is comfortable. The endurance geometry delivers predictable handling that likes a wide, sweeping cornering technique. While hard pedaling efforts certainly don’t seem wasted, the bike’s extra heft reminds you that this is no flyweight. Better to diesel your way on the Domane AL 3, than it is to thrash around.

Fender mounts front and rear make the Domane an ideal commuter or wet-weather bike. Rear rack mounts further that versatility.

Running gear

Shimano’s Sora group delivers big on quality shifting and looks. While the 18-speed group is several steps below its more premium groupset siblings, the budget group sees many trickle-down features, such as shifter ergonomics and a super-stiff crankset.

Heck, Sora’s STI brake/shift levers even get reach adjustment to tailor the fit for larger or smaller hands.

The gearing range is what we’ve come to expect on endurance bikes, with a 50/34 compact crank and an 11-28 cassette. If you’re accustomed to an 11-speed group, you may notice the larger jumps between cogs, but, on the whole, shifting is good both front and rear.

A great upgrade though would be a set of nicer cables. Most bikes arrive with bargain basement cables and housing. To improve nearly any bike on a shop’s showroom floor, consider slicker, higher quality options.

While the drivetrain impressed, the bike is let down by lacklustre brakes. Trek’s spec-sheet lists them simply as 'alloy dual-pivot'. No brand name and described so abstractly that they seem to have been an afterthought.

A set of better brake pads would likely remedy the situation as the brake action felt fine. But that would raise the cost of the Domane AL 3 closer to $1,000.

Bontrager, Trek’s house brand, handles the wheels, a set of aluminum clinchers. Unexpectedly, the rims are tubeless ready, a nice option for those in areas where punctures are frequent. Sealed bearing hubs keep the wheels rolling and a pair of Bontrager T2 28mm tires adorn the rims.

The zero-setback, alloy seatpost, 31.8mm handlebar and stem are all aluminum Bontrager models. All are wonderfully functional, with plenty of comfy hand positions on the variable-radius handlebar and an easy-to-adjust seatpost.

The Bontrager Montrose Comp is a well-cushioned model but it just didn’t suit me. As is often the case, expect to swap it before you leave the dealer.

Aesthetically speaking

The matte Quicksilver finish on the Trek is attractive. The silver and blue play well together and luxurious handlebar tape with subtle blue accents completes the package. The AL 3 is also offered in a black/red combo.

The frame and fork also wipe up very cleanly, unlike some matte paintwork I’ve encountered over recent years. The joints on the aluminum frame may have been a bit big, but certainly didn’t venture into chunky territory.

While many sub-$1000-bike reviews are aimed at beginner cyclists, there is every reason for veteran riders to also consider Trek’s Domane AL 3. With its fender mounts and affordable drivetrain it would be an ideal winter training bike or handily replace a tired steel bike from the 90s.

The handling is made for long days in the saddle and the bike looks far nicer than its price tag would indicate.

I love how normal the Domane is. It uses an 1 1/8” threadless steerer tube, a threaded bottom bracket, quick release dropouts and fork ends, 31.8mm handlebar, 27.2 seatpost diameter, external cable routing, standard brake caliper mounting. This makes it extremely serviceable — for new cyclists and mechanics alike — with parts that are prevalent and easy to replace or upgrade.

Aluminum has gotten a bad rap over the years, but it still delivers exceptional value and, in the case of the Domane, a great ride.

The Domane AL 3, with a set of better brake pads, democratizes the joy of cycling, making it more approachable than ever.

2023 Trek Domane AL 3

Introduction

As a cyclist, for a road bike, I want it to be unbeatable on flat roads, so when faced with the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc I wanted it to be a road runner, but I expected more from it.

This road bike’s excellent 100 Series Alpha Aluminum, slim 700×32c tires, and multi-shifting 2×9 drivetrain show us not only its lightning speed on the road, but also its ability to catch the eye of passersby like a magnet when it comes to commuting and light gravel roads, and its comfortable performance that is hard for me to ignore.

After a 3-month long review, this bike took us on nearly 80 miles of road riding, through park trails, and conquering gravelly countryside trails. Not only did we feel the bike’s excellent road speed, but we also experienced its outstanding performance on fitness and light gravel roads.

Below we break down the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc for road riding, gravel performance, general riding, key features, components and specs, and other versions.

If you want to know more about it, please stay tuned and we will bring more bike reviews.

Road Riding

Trek Domane AL 3 Alpine Blue to Dnister Black Fade

Generally speaking, hardtail bikes are much better in rough, wooded terrain where this road bike is no match for a hardtail. However, on a flat road ride, the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc will keep the hardtail bike from seeing its tail.

This time we joined a road riding group that started together on an asphalt road, and although I was initially a bit behind them, I have to say that the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc had me cheered on by the crowd of teammates in the riding group for the second half of the ride.

Based on its slim 700×32c Bontrager R1 Hard-Case Lite road tires, and with a steep head tube angle (71.3°), it was able to maintain an above-average bike speed even on rides where I wasn’t doing my best.

Also, the Shimano Sora HG53 2×9 drivetrain, when facing different road surfaces, it allows me to make shifts to adjust to the most appropriate speed and its shifting is not as complicated as I thought.

In addition, it has Tektro C550 mechanical disc brakes, which allow me to maintain strong braking when descending on wet roads and needing to stop in a hurry.

As we have noticed, this is a road bike, so in terms of damping it is no trail or mountain bike professional shock absorber, but it is important to mention that this bike’s IsoSpeed carbon fiber fork, it makes up for it in this aspect.

All in all, I’m fascinated by the speed of the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc on the road at the same price point.

Gravel Riding

I wasn’t expecting much from the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc in terms of gravel performance, but I was ruthless enough to throw it out on the gravel trails in order to get a more complete picture of all aspects of performance.

The trail was covered with small and large gravel blocks and flowing winding paths, which I was also concerned would cause some hindrance to the Domane AL 3 Disc ride.

However, after the ride, I really couldn’t wait to jump off the bike and share with my friends that I was dazzled by the bike’s performance on the gravel trails. This is because of its special IsoSpeed carbon fork, which allows it to effectively absorb bumps caused by gravel, which made my ride more fun by not only not losing my pedaling efficiency, but also reducing my fatigue.

In addition, the Bontrager R1 Hard-Case Lite road tire is undaunted by gravel. The relatively slim 32c tire features Hard-Case Lite puncture protection, which gives it greater wear resistance and allows it to travel quickly and safely in the face of gravel.

In short, the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc is not only suitable for road riding, but also outstanding in its performance even when riding on gravel.

General Terrain

If you think that the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc’s features can only be used for road racing, then I must say that you really don’t know much about the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc.

As we all know, global warming, and the ecological environment needs each of us to take action to protect, low-carbon life, starting from me. So now whether it’s for work, or for some normal travel, we can see the bicycle figure, and I am no exception. So in this 3-month cycling review, I abandoned my usual riding partner and used Trek Domane AL 3 Disc for commuting, fitness, and leisure.

Based on the weight of the lightweight body and the Bontrager Comp VR-S road handlebars, it will be more agile when performing maneuvers, and its handlebars will provide shorter drop and reach distances, retaining the classic variable radius shape that provides a quick and comfortable transition from the hood to the sprint drop.

On my daily commute to work, my start-up speed always causes amazement among my peers when the light turns green, which is a source of joy for me throughout the day.

The smooth Tektro C550 mechanical disc brakes and 2×9 transmission shine when I’m riding for fitness with friends in the park or on flat village roads.

If you are a low-carbon living environmentalist, or if you are a commuter rider who loves fitness, the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc will be one of your quality choices.

Main Features

Trek Domane AL 3 Disc Frame

As we all know, aluminum is a popular frame material, and a regular aluminum frame doesn’t feel as comfortable on my long rides, but when I rode the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc on long rides, it made me smile on my long rides, whether it was over rough trails or through gravel trails.

In fact, at one point in my riding, I thought that this was a road bike with a carbon frame, but the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc is indeed a road bike with an aluminum frame.

Yes, Trek’s engineers have researched methods that allow the material to retain the best properties of aluminum – lightness, and strength – while improving ride quality.

In addition, this bike’s subdued Lithium Grey, quiet Crystal White, and individual Alpine Blue to Dnister Black Fade are three paint colors that really appeal to me and have a relatively wide range of options.

If you like clean and tidy frames and look like I do, I think this bike will catch your eye too. I was impressed by its clean internal alignment and simple and generous frame design.

Trek Domane AL 3 Disc's two water bottle mounting holes

In addition, the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc’s two water bottle mounting holes and rear rack mounting holes are set up so that I can carry plenty of water and camping gear.

Comfortable geometry that will make me love the movement on two wheels. With the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc’s steep head tube angle (71.3°), I get faster steering on winding roads.

However, I must also mention that on rough terrain, steering may be a bit unstable if done at high speeds (although I don’t feel this way on my rides).

In addition, its steep seat tube angle (73.7°) and proper seat tube length (500mm) make my riding easier, allowing me to pedal more easily and maintain a comfortable upright ride with a higher range of vision.

 Also, proper Trail (59mm) has faster and more agile steering, in addition to an improved ability to maintain a straight line in tight corners, while it is also stable in speed.

Components and Specifications

Shimano sora r3000 2×9 drivetrain.

Shimano Sora R3000 2×9 Drivetrain

For mountain biking, 1× would give me a better experience, but more speed options on the road are what I want, so the Shimano Sora R3000 2×9 speed range is what I like.

On this road ride, Trek Domane AL 3 Disc was sturdy and most attractive 9-speed parts, it added a lot of fun to my riding trip.

The drive has a sleek and clean design with higher-level kit technology, so even if you are changing speeds on rough terrain, you don’t have to worry about chain rap issues happening too often (provided it is set up correctly). Some may think the 2× may be more complicated to change speeds, so I asked a less experienced rider to experience it and he told us that the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc 2× didn’t feel any different from the 1×.

So I think the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc with Shimano Sora R3000 2×9 drivetrain is for anyone.

Tektro C550 Mechanical Disc Brake

When I started riding the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc, my friend was surprised and asked, “This is not the hydraulic disc brake you like?” In response to her question, I told her for sure that this mechanical disc brake was the most cost-effective brake I wanted to have.

Most people who love to ride understand that hydraulic disc brakes are very capable and feel good, but they are relatively expensive and troublesome to maintain.

Mechanical disc brakes are relatively affordable, and it does not have a weak braking ability. In addition, maintenance for mechanical discs will be easier, and in my actual riding, when I need to stop the wheel, I often don’t need to spend much effort to stop the bike steadily.

Bontrager R1 Hard-Case Lite Road Tire

My first impression of this bike’s tires was that it was too slim, and with a 32c tire width, I was skeptical of its stability. But I still had a riding experience and sure enough the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc broke my misconceptions about it.

Because the Bontrager R1 Hard-Case Lite road tire has Hard-Case Lite puncture protection, there is no noticeable wear on the tire over gravel, and the 32c width of the tire reduces rolling resistance and provides enough traction on almost every road, even when facing corners. The 32c width reduces rolling resistance and provides enough traction on almost every road, even when facing corners.

IsoSpeed Carbon Fiber Fork

As we can see, the bike doesn’t have a shock, and like many of you, I may have wondered “what if I hit a bumpy, rough road?” Don’t worry, the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc takes this into account. The special IsoSpeed carbon fiber fork reduces the feeling of bumps on the ground without sacrificing the efficiency of riding speed, allowing me to remain relaxed and happy while doing the rugged ground riding.

Other Versions of Trek Domane AL

Trek Domane AL 4

In our current review, we have reviewed and experienced in detail the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc’s frame, Shimano Sora R3000 2×9 drivetrain, Tektro C550 mechanical disc brakes, and its tires and other components. To get a more detailed look at the bike, we found other versions of it.

The Trek Domane AL is available as a 2×9 Trek Domane AL 3, but also as a 2×10 Trek Domane AL 4 and a 2×11 Trek Domane AL 5 . These are priced at $1,799 and $2,099 respectively, and both are hydraulic disc brakes, so if you prefer more variable speed or hydraulic disc brakes you can also try them out.

All in all, there are 3 different Trek Domane AL’s to choose from, so no matter what your budget is and what your speed change requirements are, you can find the right comfortable road bike for you here.

Comparison table, trek domane al 3 disc vs schwinn fastback carbon 105.

Schwinn Fastback Carbon 105

To be honest, I was a little surprised to see that the Schwinn Fastback Carbon 105 is a carbon fiber frame at $2299.99. At this point, some people may think the Domane AL 3 Disc’s aluminum frame is slightly inferior, but in my opinion, the lightweight aluminum frame doesn’t give me a bad experience.

Also, since the Schwinn Fastback Carbon 105’s cable-pull brakes produce some harshness on slippery surfaces and are not enough for a rider like me who loves to go fast, I would prefer disc brakes.

Also, 700c x 25c tires, maybe better in speed, but the 25c tires are a bit slim, which may take more attention for novices to handle it when driving fast.

If you’re on a budget and prefer disc brakes, you can look at the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc, which is $850 cheaper and will give you a pleasant surprise.

Trek Domane AL 3 Disc vs Scott Contessa Speedster 25

2022 Scott Contessa Speedster 25

It was really hard to choose between these two bikes. First of all, they are both $1499.99 in price and they have the same 2×9 transmission range, but in real-world riding the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc feels better to me, it doesn’t have a noticeable rustle when shifting.

With almost identical mechanical disc brakes, there is little difference in their performance on wet roads. If I had to say one thing, the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc is 0.44Ibs lighter than the Scott Contessa Speedster 25, so the Domane AL 3 Disc gives you a better experience in braking.

Also, as we can see, both bikes have the same tire size of 700 x 32c, but if you notice the tread pattern, you’ll notice that the 60tpi Bontrager R1 Hard-Case Lite road tire has relatively more wear and traction.

If you are looking for lighter weight or better tires, you can try the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc.

Trek Domane AL 3 Disc vs Trek Domane AL 5 Disc

Trek Domane AL 5

The Domane AL 5 Disc and the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc are both parts of the Domane AL series. Both bikes have the same aluminum frame, but the Domane AL 5 Disc costs $650 more than the Domane AL 3 Disc.

However, the Domane AL 5 Disc is a hydraulic disc brake, which may be softer compared to a mechanical disc, and the Domane AL 5 Disc has a 2×11 drivetrain, so there are a few more speed options than the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc. If you like more speed options, you may be attracted to the Domane AL 5 Disc.

It’s also worth mentioning that the tires on both bikes are the same, so there’s not much difference between them in terms of wear resistance and traction.

If the 2×11 transmission is complicated for you, you can choose the more suitable 2×9 transmission, both in terms of ease of speed change and speed range selectivity it is sufficient, and you can save $650 to upgrade your car.

Trek Domane AL 3 Disc vs Canyon Endurace 8 Disc

2022 Canyon Endurace 8 Disc

As we can see the Canyon Endurace 8 Disc has a 2×11 shift range and it also comes with Shimano RT70 hydraulic disc brakes, so it appeals to me in at least those two areas and the not-so-high price tag has me intrigued.

Although the bike looks great from the drive and braking side, that doesn’t mean that the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc will admit defeat.

The Domane AL 3 Disc’s mechanical disc brakes are affordable, light, and low maintenance, and not only that, but the brakes work reliably even on slippery surfaces. Some people may think that the speed range of the Domane AL 3 Disc 2×9 is a bit too small, but in my opinion, it depends on your needs and the 2×9 shifting is great in my real-world riding. I also like the affordable price of the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc.

Whether you’re riding on light gravel roads or flat roads, I think the Trek Domane AL 3 Disc is one of the bikes you should choose for the money.

In case, the above comments are helpful to you, please remember to share the subscription. Have a great day!

The top tube is angled just enough to put the rider in a strong forward position without being overly aggressive while the seat tube angle strikes a balance between power and comfort.

Frame sizes range from 44cm (women) to 61cm, so they should fit riders of almost any height.

The smallest 44cm model on the women’s Domane AL 3 has a 65.7cm standover height, with an 84.2 cm standover height on the largest unisex model.

Carbon Fork

Domane AL 3

Trek have complimented their fabulous 100 Series Alpha frame on the Domane AL 3 a carbon fork and headset.

The addition of a carbon fork helps to reduce weight and provide a much more comfortable ride.

Trek Domane’s carbon fork has a unique dropout placement to optimize the wheelbase combined with a tight rocker cup for precise placement. The slightly wider fork fits a 5x100m QR and includes convenient fender mounts for those wet-weather riders.

Shimano Sora Groupset

Shimano Sora components

The Domane AL3 is fully kitted-out with Shimano’s Sora R3000 groupset which provides the derailleurs, shifters, chain, cassette, and cranks.

On the rear cassette, you have nine cogs ranging from 11T to 32T and on the front crank, a 50T, and 34T.

While Sora is one of the most widely-used Shimano gearing sets for road bikes and has been trusted for years, it would have been nice to see a Tiagra groupset on a bike of this price.

However, considering the high-performance frame and quality assurance that Trek provides, the overall package still offers good value for money.

Some gearheads might consider an upgrade but the Sora system works perfectly well in this instance.

DuoTrap S Compatibility

Trek’s own line of Bontrager DuoTrap S digital sensors offer some of the best data measuring tools available.

Forget strapping on clumsy sensors to your fork with zip ties, the DuoTrap S screws subtly to the inside of your chainstay and sends data wirelessly to your phone or bicycle computer.

The DuoTrap S supports both ANT+ 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth signals so you can send data to both your phone or a Trip 300 cycling computer.

Blendr Compatible Stem

Trek’s Blendr Stem which is part of its Bontrager components range provides a way to attach accessories securely to your handlebars.

The stem is compatible with a variety of Duo Base attachments that fit phones, lights, satnavs, computers, and cameras.

Rather than using up space on your handlebars by trying to squeeze in third-party attachments, the Blendr stem places your accessories directly into the handlebar stem.

The tight and secure attachment method ensures your devices are safe on even the roughest of terrain.

Domane AL 3 red

There are 7 sizes of Domane AL 3 available from riders 4’11” to 6’3″

  • 44 : 4’11” – 5’0″
  • 49 : 5’1″ – 5’4″
  • 52 : 5’4″ – 5’6″
  • 54 : 5’6″ – 5’9″
  • 56 : 5’9″ – 5’11”
  • 58 : 5’11” – 6’1″
  • 61 : 6’1″ – 6’3″

The Trek Domane AL 3 is not the cheapest bike in the range of aluminum frame road bikes with Sora components.

If you aren’t picky about build quality and materials you could certainly find something cheaper.

However, unless you are willing to fork out the extra for a full carbon frame you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better bike at this price.

It’s incredibly lightweight for a non-carbon frame and carries the undisputable Trek stamp of quality.

Yes, for a similar price you could get a bike with disc brakes or a Tiagra groupset but you would be sacrificing on quality elsewhere.

Overall, the Trek Domane AL 3 delivers value for money.

suggested

It’s affordable while still offering everything a rider needs in a competitive road bike.

The Domane AL 3 is a good bike for that upcoming cyclist looking to go the distance and spend some serious time in the saddle.

Sure, it’ll do you fine for the occasional weekend ride but for the money you’ll want to get a decent amount of use out of this bike.

Aventon Level.2 Review: A Reasonably Priced Fully Equipped Commuter

6 thoughts on “ review of trek domane al 3: endurance road bike for long days ”.

Very useful review. At the time of this post, there are two more offerings in the Domane AL line: the Domane AL4 (upgrades shifting and adds hydraulic brakes) and the AL5.

I’m thinking of getting this for my first road bike; currently riding an Aventon Level.2 (electric) and Trek Verve 3. (hybrid) I’m thinking this would raise my average speed by at least 3 mph compared to the Verve 3. Verve 3 would then become my gravel bike.

I’m in decent shape, but got dropped immediately on a group ride last weekend, even by older riders. I could only keep up with the fatties on road bikes.

Hi Jeremy, thanks for your comment! You’re right, the Domane would definitely add at least 3 mph compared to the Verve 3 and likely more with a bit of structured training. Enjoy!

Brilliant article i have a giant rapid 2 2017, am looking at getting this one for sportifs, would this be an upgrade on my giant rapid which is a quick commuter

Thanks, Derek! The Domane would be a huge upgrade, you’d be riding much more efficiently and achieving a higher average speed.

Hi, I recently purchased a domane al3 and I am looking into purchasing an indoor trainer for it.. I am new to cycling and do not know a ton about indoor trainers.. do you know of a type/brand that fits this specific bike that you would recommend? Thanks, Sam

Hi Samantha, Here is a link to all our posts related to indoor trainers . You might find one that fits your needs.

Trek's new entry-level road bike combines an endurance fit with sporty handling and a whole bunch of versatility.

Huge tyre clearance, unique geometry is great for the purpose, quite comfortable ride quality, easy to service and upgrade, rides lighter than it feels to pick up, Shimano Tiagra just works, rim width, quality thru-axles.

Basic and heavy frame, making the bike tubeless requires new tyres and a handful of parts, extremely heavy wheels (especially given the bike’s price), handlebar drop shape is too compact.
