Review of Trek Domane SL 5: Carbon Road Bike for Endurance Rides

trek domane sl 5 road bike

Trek Domane SL 5 is a step up from an entry-level carbon bike, featuring high-quality components and Trek’s patented IsoSpeed frame.

Trek’s Domane SL 5 carbon road bike features its unique 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with front and rear IsoSpeed to absorb shock and reduce fatigue.

The IsoSpeed system is the result of years of research and development to create a frame with unprecedented comfort and maximum efficiency.

The Domane range of carbon road bikes is slightly heavier than typical carbon frame racing bikes due to the additional strength and comfort features.

These include thicker tires, heavier rims, and hydraulic brakes.

Trek Domane SL 5 Quick Overview

Main features, is the trek domane sl 5 the right choice for you, is it worth the money.

Get From Trek

Rather than just a well-equipped carbon frame bike, the Domane SL 5 fits together specific features to create a light and comfortable road bike that can also tackle rough terrain.

The carbon IsoSpeed frame is supported by a Shimano 105 groupset and hydraulic disc brakes.

IsoSpeed carbon frame

Domane SL 5 carbon frame

Trek’s IsoSpeed system features front and back decouplers with a rocker cup that allows flex in the seat tube and steerer tube.

This helps to provide a smooth ride without losing solid road contact and stability.

The frame uses optimized endurance geometry to give the rider a confident, controlled feeling in the saddle.

When it comes to carbon frames, its 500 Series OCLV is on the heavier side which is most noticeable on hills. However, it makes up for this but cutting through bumpy surfaces with ease.

Performance Cable Routing

The rear gearing and brake cables are internally routed through the bike’s carbon body, keeping the frame neat and clean.

This not only protects the cables but makes everything more attractive and aerodynamic.

Unfortunately, the front disc brake cabling is not routed through the fork, leaving a rather untidy zip-tie solution running down the left fork.

An odd choice for a road bike in this price range but it works just as well, albeit a bit less easy on the eye.

Shimano 105 groupset

Shimano 105 components

Trek’s decision to use Shimano’s 105 groupset for the Domane SL 5 was an excellent choice and suits its high-quality carbon frame.

The complete Shimano groupset includes the shifters, chain, hydraulic brakes, front and rear derailleurs, and an 11-speed cassette.

The complete set works together to provide excellent, fault-proof mechanics and seamless operation that lets you focus on the road ahead.

Shimano 105 is one of the most reliable drivechains available and has been a firm favorite of cyclists around the world for decades.

The Domane SL 5 incorporates Bontrager Paradigm rims for their strong, durable nature.

Wrapped around the Domane SL 5’s Paradigm rims are Bontrager R3 Hard-Case Lite 700x32c tires.

The extra-large tires are an unusual choice for a carbon road bike, further solidifying its purpose as an all-terrain machine.

Endurance geometry

The endurance geometry used in the Domane range of road bikes is designed for long-distance rides, with a slightly higher headtube.

It attempts to balance speed and comfort, providing a more relaxed seating position than is commonly found on carbon racing bikes.

The sloping top tube reaches the seat post at an angle that makes it appear to move almost continuously into the seatstays.

The thicker-than-usual downtube also has an ever-so-slight bend that creates an appealing profile view.

It’s a marriage of technical perfection and high-quality materials to deliver a truly unique carbon frameset.

The Trek Domane SL 5 comes in 9 different sizes to fit heights of 4’11 to 6’2.

  • 44 : 4’11” – 5’0″
  • 47 : 5’0″ – 5’2″
  • 50 : 5’2″ – 5’4″
  • 52 : 5’4″ – 5’6″
  • 54 : 5’6″ – 5’9″
  • 56 : 5’9″ – 5’11”
  • 58 : 5’11” – 6’1″
  • 60 : 6’1″ – 6’3″
  • 62 : 6’3″ – 6’5″

Trek’s Domane SL 5 is a serious carbon-framed road bike for dedicated riders looking to cover long distances on a regular basis.

It would suit semi-professional cyclists and triathletes looking to train regularly for competitions and events.

Sure, if you’re just a weekend rider and can afford it, you’ll love it.

However, a bike of this quality deserves to be put through its paces by those aiming for the podium.

It’s tough, fast, comparatively light, and most importantly: it provides a beautifully smooth ride.

suggested

High-quality Shimano components: check.

A price tag under $3,500: check.

I would say, yes, the Trek Domane SL 5 is most certainly a piece of equipment that ticks all the right boxes to offer excellent value for money.

There are faster and lighter carbon road bikes in a similar price range, and there are tougher bikes too, but none of them find the balance quite as well as the Trek Domane SL 5 does.

This is a long-lasting bike that will seldom require any repairs or upgrades.

The 2023 Trek Domane is now official: SL, SLR, and RSL options explained

The endurance road bike returns to its endurance road purpose..

Trek hasn’t exactly been shy about the fact a new Domane was imminent. We saw the endurance-come-all-road bike earlier in the year at the Classics, and Elisa Longo Borghini even rode it to victory at Paris-Roubaix Femmes. 

Now Trek has lifted the translucent curtain from the new bike, revealing all the finer details and model options. We have the new Domane SLR in hand for review but we need a little more time on it before we can offer an informed opinion. In the meantime, here’s what we know about the newly updated endurance road platform that consists of the Domane SL, the top-tier Domane SLR, and the return of a pro-friendly Domane RSL.

Simpler = lighter 

In many ways, the new Domane returns to the roots of the endurance road platform. When it was first released a little over a decade ago, the Domane was a fully-fledged road bike, just with added ride comfort and more relaxed geometry. A subtly modified version was Fabian Cancellara’s pick for conquering the cobbles, and Trek surely sold a lot of bikes off that imagery. 

However, more recent years have seen the Domane get increasingly more complicated, and that complexity came with added mass. For example, Trek took its original IsoSpeed concept from a simple flexible seat tube decoupled at the top tube via a bearing-based pivot and turned it into a system (at least at the high-end) that split the seat tube around a sliding mechanism that allowed you to tune the seated comfort. Meanwhile, the once ordinary front-end of the bike earned a de-coupled headset that allowed the fork steerer to flex more freely.

All impressive features, but also things that made the Domane heavier than a bike of its price should be.  

And so we come to the newest version of the Domane. This bike waves goodbye to both the adjustable rear IsoSpeed and front IsoSpeed and instead moves to Trek’s fourth iteration of the comfort-inducing feature. Similar to the original introduced in 2012, this new and rear-only IsoSpeed isn’t adjustable and the only moving components are isolated to the pivot point that sits between the seat tube and top tube.

The reasons to walk away from front IsoSpeed are closely related to what was seen with the latest Checkpoint gravel bike . It comes down to modern tyre technology and trends toward going wider in volume. The front IsoSpeed is said to have been beneficial when tyres were 28 mm in size and run at high pressures but is too stiff to make an appreciable difference with a wider-volume tyre system, such as the 32 mm tubeless tyres supplied with the bikes.  

Meanwhile, Trek has claimed that the return to its top tube-based IsoSpeed is more effective across the full-size range versus the previous seat tube-based IsoSpeed, which was unintentionally stiffer in smaller sizes. That non-adjustable flex is now said to match the most comfortable setting of the previous generation and is size-specific in the compliance provided.  

What’s new is that Trek has moved away from its almost signature upside-down seatpost topper or post-within-a-post designs, and instead adopted its own telescoping D-shaped carbon post. Securing it is a binder wedge that’s integrated with the new IsoSpeed system. The binder is hidden beneath a magnetic cover plate and is designed to work with common pre-set 5-5.2 Nm torque wrenches (or any style of torque wrench). Meanwhile, the proprietary carbon seatpost is being produced in two different set-back versions. 

trek domane oclv

With fewer moving parts the new Domane SL and SLR framesets are approximately 300 grams lighter than before. Additionally, the new SLR version is the lightest Domane Disc yet. Trek quotes 56 cm framesets for the Domane SL (OCLV 500-series carbon) and Domane SLR (OCLV 800-series carbon) at 2,500 g and 1,700 g, respectively. However, precisely what those framesets include is somewhat unclear. Add in some refined Bontrager wheels and the formerly porky base-level Domane SL5 complete bike is now a claimed 700 g lighter – although it’ll still sit above 9 kg with pedals. 

The two tiers of Domane share the same moulds and are therefore visually and feature-wise identical. The weight difference is merely down to the Domane SL using a lower modulus “OCLV 500-series” carbon fibre lay-up. In contrast, the Domane SLR uses Trek’s high-modulus “OCLV 800-series” blend (the highest grade of carbon used in the Domane to date) that carries quite the premium pricing. Trek’s entry-level aluminium endurance road bike, the Domane AL – a bike we reviewed in 2021 – remains unchanged. 

Not unlike what we’ve seen with other bikes in this category, Trek claims improved aerodynamic performance through features already seen with its Emonda , including revised Kammtail (aka truncated airfoil) shaping and an integrated-ish cockpit with semi-concealed cable routing. That cockpit consists of a two-piece handlebar and stem, where the brake hoses and mechanical gear cables (if applicable) are routed outside of the bar and underneath the new RCS Pro stem, which features a removable cover. The cables/hoses then flow into Trek’s proprietary headset spacers/top cap before being fed through the top headset bearing. And while it’ll look less seamless, the system allows regular stems and handlebars to be used. 

Spanning a generous range, the nine available frame sizes point to the popularity of this platform. The Domane SL and SLR keep with Trek’s ‘endurance’ geometry which offers shortened reaches and raised stacks compared to its race-focussed Emonda and Madone offerings. Steering geometry remains on the quicker side for the endurance road category, while the wheelbase is a tad longer than some.

Still ready for all-road use

Trek claims the new Domane is a “road first” platform, but simultaneously talks to its versatility provided by the class-leading 38 mm tyre clearance. That massive tyre clearance remains unchanged from the previous generation and is based on a 6 mm window all the way around the tyre. The figure is based on what Trek considers to be the largest 38 mm-measured tyre width on the market, so there’s plenty of tolerance in here to go bigger than what is officially recommended. All Domane complete bikes come stock with 32 mm tyres.

If I had a way to bang a gong and shout this news, I would. The new Domane spells the end of Trek’s BB90 press-fit system, and the American company’s entire road range now features a threaded bottom bracket. Like we’ve seen with the Madone and Emonda, the Domane uses Trek’s take on the T47 ‘internal’ threaded bottom bracket, one that has open compatibility with all aftermarket T47 bottom brackets and modern crank spindle systems. 

Like previous generations, the hidden fender mounts remain, and using those allows for up to a 35 mm tyre to be fitted. Also continuing over is the down tube storage hatch that hides beneath the bidon cage. Within it you’ll find the same tool and tube wrap. Meanwhile, the mounts for a top-tube feed bag remain, too. Another minor and overlooked detail is Trek’s integrated 3S chain keeper which works admirably well.

The RSL, a return of the pro version

Go back to the days of Fabian Cancellara skipping across the cobbles and you’ll find that his Domane wasn’t like the one you’d find in your local Trek store. Rather it was a Race Shop Limited (RSL) version from Trek’s Project One range. Sold only in the sizes needed by the key riders of WorldTour team, this pro version combined a race-specific geometry with the wider tyre clearance and smoother frame that the Domane sought to offer. Now Trek has brought the pro version back as a frameset-only option in the form of the Domane RSL. 

trek domane oclv

While the regular Domane SL and SLR come in a choice of nine sizes, the RSL version is offered in just five sizes spanning from 52 through to 60 cm. Those five sizes feature Trek’s H1.5 fit which offers more aggressive stack and reach figures in line with its Emonda and Madone bikes. Meanwhile, steeper head angles result in super short trail figures that should equate to a quicker steering characteristic. 

There are a few other differences that expand beyond the geometry. Pro riders tend to push bigger gears and the RSL version is designed to clear up to 54/40T rings, or a 54T if run 1x. By comparison, the Domane SL/SLR will only fit a maximum of 52/36T gearing or a 50T single ring. That chainring clearance comes with the trade-off of reduced tyre clearance, with the RSL designed to fit up to 35 mm rubber. And while the SL/SLR framesets can use either electronic or mechanical groupsets, the RSL is electronic-only. 

trek domane oclv

Made with racing in mind, the Domane RSL also drops the down tube storage hatch, the top tube bag mounts, and the fender compatibility. As a result, it’s approximately 100 g lighter than the SLR version. 

Models and pricing 

There are many complete bike options within the new Domane SL and SLR ranges. Excluding the top-tier SLR 9 eTap (which has Trek-Segafredo team look-a-like Pirelli tyres), all models come equipped with tubeless-ready wheels (hooked bead), Bontrager R3 32 mm tubeless-ready tyres, and tubeless valves and sealant are also provided. 

The premium-priced SLR starts with the expected Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 and SRAM Red AXS options, and goes down to models with new Shimano 105 Di2 and SRAM Rival AXS. There are five stock frame colours choices shared amongst the SLR bikes and framesets. A frameset is also available for US$4,200 / €5,000 / £4,500 / AU$NA.

Meanwhile, the lower-cost Domane SL frame is available at the base level with Shimano 105 mechanical, and goes up to models with either Shimano Ultegra Di2 or SRAM Force AXS. And being cheaper doesn’t mean any less choice in paint, with options spanning from boring through to sparkle-drenched. And somewhat unexpectedly, Trek will offer the Domane SL as a bare frameset for US$2,500 / €3,000 / £2,700 / AU$NA.

And as already mentioned, the pro-edition RSL is available only as a frameset, priced at US$4,200 / €5,000 / £4,500 / AU$5,600.

Review to come 

CyclingTips’s head of tech, James Huang, recently received a new Domane SLR for test, and I plan on borrowing one in October. You can expect a deep-dive review on this new endurance road bike in the coming months.

The new Trek Domane: Lighter, more comfortable and versatile for the season ahead

Revamped isospeed and added peripherals for the fourth generation of the endurance bike.

trek domane oclv

Trek has launched its fourth generation Domane SL and SLR. The newest version of the ride is aimed at the high performance-minded racer, but also comes with the ability to be used on adventures outside of the peloton. As well as the SL and SLR, the Domane will also come in a pure racer–oriented version, the RSL. This frame has been tested by the Trek-Segafredo team at the WorldTour level in Europe. It’s seen a win at Paris-Roubaix by Italian pro Elisa Longo Borghini. There’s been a number of changes to the Domane: the IsoSpeed system is different; there’s been a decrease in weight; and the cockpit has been improved. Riders also have the ability to add peripherals for epic all-day rides.

Refined IsoSpeed for better comfort

One of the big improvements with the new Domane is the upgrade to its IsoSpeed tech. The system that reduces vibrations from the road to decrease fatigue is lighter on the fourth-generation Domane. As opposed to earlier versions, the new IsoSpeed is non-adjustable, as Trek engineers found that most riders would set their levels of damping and then forget them. The new Domane has also removed the IsoSpeed from the front end, which also contributes to its reduced weight.

The new Domane also has a seatpost clamp integrated into the top tube, creating a much cleaner look. The seatmast of the gen-three bike is gonie. The new seatpost is D-shaped for additional aero gains, and available in 280-mm and 320-mm lengths.

The three frames: RSL, SL and SLR

All three members of the new Domane family have similar aero benefits. The SL and SLR are identical when it comes to frame shapes and features.The difference lies in the carbon material used. The SL uses OCLV 500, and the SLR uses the higher-quality OCLV 800. Both rides will have upgrades in the tube department, using truncated airfoil shapes, making it the fastest Domane yet.

Weight-wise, all frames are quite a bit lighter. The SLR shaves 700 g, and the SL 300 g. Both of the frames use a more relaxed endurance geometry compared with the H1.5 design on both the Émonda and Madone. With a higher top tube and extended wheelbase, the SLR and SL aim to provide enhanced comfort for longer rides. The RSL, which is only available as a frame, will use the H1.5 geometry to retain race-specific handling. The RSL frameset has a nearly identical tubeset to the SLR, with the exception of the tighter angles.

The SL and SLR aim to be a one-bike-does-all type of ride. “It’s for the weekend racer, but also long rides on weekends, light gravel, fast group rides or gran fondos,” Jordan Roessingh, Trek’s director of road bikes, explains. “It balances light weight, speed and comfort. It’s one bike that can do everything.”

With tire clearance coming in at 35 mm for the RSL and 38 mm for the SLR and SL, the bike will be able to accommodate some wider tires, hence the added opportunity to ride it on some mixed terrain.

Although it’s not certainly not labelled as a gravel bike, the bike offers some versatility for the racer who wants to head out on some adventures on mixed terrain, as well, Roessingh explained. The SL and SLR also come with hidden mudguard mounts, which means you can use full-coverage mudguards, and your legs and caboose won’t get any spray if you hit any muddy puddles. Another add-on for the SL and SLR is a top-tube bag mount, making it a complete bike for long rides where you need to stash some more snacks. The SL and SLR will both have internal storage on the frames for puncture kits, while the RSL will not, for additional weight savings.

trek domane oclv

The Domane went through rigorous testing by some of the best pros. Borghini took various prototypes of the bike on some of the toughest terrain, including the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix. Ultimately, the finished product exceeded her expectations. “The new Domane, I like the compromise between the stiffness and softness on the cobbles,” the 2022 Paris-Roubiax winner says. “I like that you can launch after a corner, sprint well and it’s lighter. It’s also more agile in the peloton. I can say with confidence that we had the best technical equipment at Roubaix this year.”

Streamlined cockpit

The SL and SLR feature the new RCS Pro integrated stem for increased aero benefits, as well as easier maintenance. The new stem is compatible with other road models, but not with the Madone SLR bar and stem. It does however, create a cleaner front end with brake and gear cables routed through the stem, while still giving users the ability to change the component easily.

Trek Domane 4.3 review

Vibration-damping road bike with IsoSpeed tech

We were blown away by the premium 6-Series Domane , which introduced us to the pavé-pancaking IsoSpeed fork at the front and decoupler technology at the rear. You get these on the 4.3 as well, and the bike finished in the top five of our 40 Cycling Plus Bike of the Year contenders :

Trek domane 4.3

Tech ed Warren Rossiter talks through the Domane 4.3

Ride & handling: Comfort without compromise

Any worries that a lower grade of carbon or spec would dilute the effectiveness and performance of the 4.3 are unfounded – it’s 1.8kg (4lb) heavier but also £5,200/US$4,430 less than the 6.9, and for £1,800/US$2,499 you get a simply astonishing frame and an addictive ride quality.

First ride impressions are fairly conventional, until you realise that the usual road chatter and vibration is muted to the point of being barely noticeable, although the road feel, so crucial to precise handling, is unaffected.

Arguably, the road feel was accentuated because the Domane seems to be in contact with the surface more of the time. Turning into corners on roughly patched tarmac was refreshingly undramatic, the wheels seeming to tuck in and bite instead of skipping across the surface.

With such impressive stability and poise, exploring the Domane’s limits becomes de rigueur on almost every ride. Go looking for rough stuff expecting to lose fillings and instead you’re cosseted by a sublimely floaty feeling.

Of course, on the most extreme roads there’s still an element of vertical movement, but sudden kicks and general vibration are removed. Not beating about the bush – the Domane’s ride is little short of astonishing.

Frame & equipment: IsoSpeed tech with functional kit

The IsoSpeed system doesn’t have a threshold below which it feels inert. There is no intrusive movement that could affect your pedalling action, as the active component of the Domane is the whole seat tube, not just the seatpost.

The decoupler is basically a rotational pivot attaching a lug on the front of the seat tube to the top tube, allowing the tube to bow and flex along its length in isolation from the frame, with no more effect on seating position than a slim carbon seatpost. The increased active length results in several times more shock absorption without the need for excessive movement in a restricted space.

Complementing the rear end is the IsoSpeed fork. This has a 1 1/8in to 1 1/2in tapered steerer tube for huge rigidity, and a constant radius curve that continues slightly ahead of the dropout to maximise its bump-smoothing ability.

Despite sounding like a full suspension bike, the Domane sports an oversized down tube and muscular asymmetric chainstays, which envelop a simply massive BB90 bottom bracket shell, and combined with the fork’s lateral stiffness make it as responsive as any fast road bike out there.

As ever, at this price there are some parts we’d quickly upgrade, and with so much technology in the Domane’s frame the wheels are the obvious place to start. The Bontrager Approved hoops roll well and resisted the worst we could fling them at with no problems, but they aren’t on the same level as the frame and are a little sluggish.

Shimano’s 105 was faultless as ever, though Trek still include an integrated chain catcher to prevent it dropping between chainset and bottom bracket. The exclusively Bontrager finishing kit is all competent stuff, but could benefit from judicious upgrading when budget allows.

That said, we’d gladly choose to take the Domane out more often than more exotic machinery because the frame offers so much comfort with no performance penalty. A stunningly simple but superbly accomplished design.

This bike was tested as part of Cycling Plus magazine’s 2013 Bike of the Year feature – read the full results in issue 273, available on Apple Newsstand and Zinio .

Trek Domane 5.9 Dura-Ace review

The essence of what an endurance bike should be.

You can trust Cyclingnews Our experts spend countless hours testing cycling tech and will always share honest, unbiased advice to help you choose. Find out more about how we test.

Trek's Domane 5.9 Dura-Ace never fails to make us smile – even after long hours in the saddle

This article originally appeared on BikeRadar

First look: Fabian Cancellara's 2014 Trek Domane 6-Series

Trek Domane Disc 4.0 and 6.9 announced

Trek Domane Koppenberg frameset released

Pro bike: Dan McConnell's Trek Domane Koppenberg

Pro bikes: Devolder's Domane Classics and Domane Koppenberg

Every occasion we get to ride Trek's Domane we're astonished anew by its capabilities. From the outset it’s like climbing aboard a suspension bike – or at least a cyclocross machine with large, low-pressure tyres. But that description doesn't do justice to the urgency that’s matched to its unerring comfort – on the tarmac it just conquers any and every surface texture, from billiard table-smooth to broken and potholed.

It should have no right to be this good, but ride one and you'll see why Fabian Cancellara prefers the Domane as his year-round race bike, not just for the cobbled Classics. The key is the Isospeed Decoupler, which allows the essentially floating seat tube to pivot and flex freely at the top-tube/seatstay junction, and the similarly effective Isospeed fork.

For dyed-in-the-wool roadies brought up to believe that stiff and rigid means more speed, and cushioning is for wimps, the result is mind-altering. Not only is the majority of unwanted road vibration killed off well before it reaches you, but power transfer and handling finesse are completely unaffected. You get a blisteringly rapid race bike with more comfort, more grip and more confidence. It's the true definition of endurance – a bike that looks after your muscles and contact points, so you remain fresher for longer, and can therefore ride further, faster.

It really is a win-win situation. On short climbs, the Domane can punch with the best, and there's no compromise on sustained gradients, but on the exposed, corrugated and heavily potholed gravel roads that comprise the high point of our test route, where winter had replaced dust with slimy mud – conditions only a ’cross bike should love – the Domane was never less than planted.

The ride quality with slick 25mm tyres inflated to 90psi felt more like 32mm tyres at 40psi. Control was never in question, slippy off-camber line changes and pothole weaving were simple, and rejoining rain-lashed tarmac we felt a level of trust in the Domane's performance that enabled us to commit to technical corners with confidence.

trek domane oclv

The Domane's ride quality is awesome even on rugged surfaces – but there's no lack of killer instinct

Our frame may have lesser carbon than the one Fabian rides, but mechanical Dura-Ace is the big man's choice for foolproof operation on the cobbles, and it would be our preference. Silky smooth, devastatingly efficient and ergonomic, it has pro written all over it. The Bontrager RL wheelset is a cost saver, but acquits itself very well, proving the value of matching wheels to a frame. They're 24mm wide, shallow and asymmetric, with 25mm rubber that measures 26mm, adding extra stability to an already composed ride. With the asymmetric frame, the wheels give willing, if not electric, acceleration, but always feel positive and exceptionally nimble whether driving into a headwind or stomping up a local berg.

The clever Ride Tuned seatpost slides externally over the frame's extended seat-tube. It's simple to adjust, adds rigidity and seals the frame against water and filth ingress – just as well, given the conditions we tested in. Bontrage's Paradigm saddle is a fine shape and extremely comfortable, and there are even Trek's hidden mudguard mounts for those days you're not racing to Roubaix.

There are no concessions to aerodynamics, just a superlative race bike that thinks it's a fat bike. It climbs with the best, descends better than most, and will go places no other road bike should. It's as much of an all-rounder as the man who took his third Flanders crown last spring.

Trek bikes range: which model is right for you?

  • Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

trek bikes

The humble beginning of Trek bicycles took place in the "red barn" - once a carpet warehouse - in Waterloo, USA. The first bikes were steel touring frames , but within three years the brand had expanded substantially.

Eventually outgrowing the barn, Trek moved into a much larger headquarters - still in Waterloo - in the year 1980. From there it began to manufacture road racing bikes, then in 1983 created its first mountain bike before moving into accessories come 1984.

Having started out in steel, Trek moved into developing aluminium bikes in 1985. The first Trek branded full carbon frame came in 1989 - the Trek 5000 had a frame weight of 1.5kg. It was built by an outside manufacturer and discontinued after a year. Trek made its own efforts at carbon, with an in-house production, in 1992 to much greater success.

>>> Trek mountain bikes: which model is right for you?

Now, Trek offers the Madone (aero bike), Domane (endurance bike), Emonda (lightweight race bike) and Checkpoint (gravel bike) as well as the Boone cyclocross and Speed Concept time trial machine.

Trek's OCLV Carbon

You can trust Cycling Weekly. Our team of experts put in hard miles testing cycling tech and will always share honest, unbiased advice to help you choose. Find out more about how we test.

Trek's carbon bikes have always used their own patented 'OCLV carbon' - this stands for Optimum Compaction Low Void. It believes this carbon creates the best compromise between low weight and high strength and stiffness.

Trek bikes range

Optimum Compaction refers to the way sheets of carbon are layered into the mould, and optimised via heat and pressure - in Trek's opinion the two treatments are administered to the perfect ratio. Low Void refers to the minimisation of space between the layers of carbon, which might otherwise reduce strength and durability.

In 1995, Trek opened an independent facility inWhitewater, Wisconsin. The idea being that the Waterloo factory would work in frame development only. For those who want to customise their ride, the'Project One' custom paint programme arrived in 2001.

Trek's pro cycling support

Trek bikes range

Trek supported now disgraced American cyclist, Lance Armstrong, through his peak years. In 1997, it helped him sign with their sponsored team, US Postal Service Pro Cycling. He won his seven editions of the Tour de Frances on bikes bearing the brand name, but all of said wins were later taken from him following doping violations.

In 2014, the brand sponsored the Trek Factory Racing Team, now calledTrek–Segafredo. In that role, it provided bikes for high profile winners such as Fabian Cancellara and Alberto Contador,as well as Jens Voigt, and notably his Hour Record in September 2014.

In 2020, Trek continued to support the Trek-Segafredo men's and women's race outfits, two highly successful teams.

Trek's acquisitions

Over the years, Trek has made a number of high profile acquisitions. The most famous, perhaps, Gary Fisher bicycles - the mountain bike brand which it took over in 1993.

Later came Bontrager Cycles in 1995 and Electra Bicycle Company in 2014. Bontrager, now Trek's component and apparel brand, maintains the same name as does Electra, the creator of leisure bikes and accessories.

Trek's road bike models

Trek is able to offer a wide range of different bikes, each tuned to a slightly different purpose. Some model families are available in a selection of standards (SLR premium carbon, SL carbon, ALR premium aluminium and AL aluminium), and then these come with assorted levels of componentry to suit your price bracket.

To add even more depth to the range, Trek offers many models in two different 'fits'. The Madone and Émonda come as standard in an H2 (traditional) fit, but there are versions in what it calls 'H1' fit. This is more aggressive, shaving off about 30mm on the head tube to create a longer, lower ride. The Domane comes in an H2 'Endurance' fit, with a few models in 'Pro Endurance', again with a longer and lower stance on offer.

Here's a look at the key model families...

Trek Domane

Our expert review:

Reasons to buy

Reasons to avoid.

The Trek Domane was introduced in 2012. It was created to offer a comfortable ride, the key feature being an IsoSpeed decoupler which separated the seat tube from the top tube, thus reducing vibrations and fatigue.

In 2016 it gained theFront IsoSpeed, which helps to reduce vibrations at the front end without impacting handling. This came alongside a new slider, which alters the level of dampening offered by the rear.

In its most recent update , the Domane took notes from the Madone with an aero fork profile, whilst becoming more versatile thanks to clearance for 38mm tyres (without mudguards, 35mm with). It also gained a downtube compartment for stashing tools (or snacks!).

Though comfort is important to the Trek Domane, it's still a racing frame, and its prowess has been demonstrated by UCI WorldTour riders at major one-day Classics, such as Strade Bianche and the Tour of Flanders. The top Domane bikes come with an H1.5 fit, which was developed with the Trek-Segafredo teams to offer the optimal balance between aerodynamics and endurance.

The Trek Domane - available as a men's build or with women's specific componentry - is a fast selling model, which comes in a range of frame materials.

The Domane SLR uses the lightest carbon Trek offers, the SL is one step down, whilst the AL uses aluminium and is the cheapest of the range.

Trek bikes range

Trek Madone

The Trek Madone is quite another beast, and the bikes come built for men and women; the latter's models with women's saddles and narrower handlebars . With an aggressive geometry and stiffness to boot, it's a road race hero, and aerodynamics have become part of its lifeblood. When we tested five aero bikes , head to head, the Trek Madone came out fastest.

Modern Trek Madone's feature a high level of integration, with the cables tucked away yet reachable via an access point at the top of the down tube.Wind tunnel testing has helped Trek to create theirKVF (Kammtail Virtual Foil) tube shapes, used on the frame and fork. These unconventional tube shapes are designed to further reduce drag, helping the rider/bike unit to slice through the air efficiently.

Because being bumped around doesn't make you faster, the Madone also features an IsoSpeed decoupler at the seat tube and more recently an adjustable one at the head tube, which offers greater compliance whilst still being integrated to prevent adding drag.

The newest model, according to Trek, can offer 17 per cent more compliance through to 21 per cent more stiffness, depending upon your chosen setting. A damper at the seatpost is also said to cut rebound by 13 per cent. All of these stats add up to a bike that can be comfortable and stiff at the same time - and one that earned a place in our 2018 Editor's Choice awards.

The majority of the bikes come in a more relaxed 'H2' geometry, save for the Madone SLR, which is in an 'H1.5' fit - this is designed to allow riders to achieve an H1 fit or an H2, depending upon their set up.

Trek bikes range

Trek Émonda

Adding more depth to the Trek family is the Trek Émonda, launched in 2014. Designed to be a climbing bike, newer adaptations are capable of negotiating mixed terrains - with disc brakes available and tyre clearance to 28mm.

>>> Trek Émonda range explained

Trek continues to work on developing the Émonda, dropping the weight of the top end Trek Émonda SLR to 640g in a size 56cm (665g with discs) and 1091g for the Trek Émonda SL (1149g with discs). The weight difference is largely achieved by the use of700 Series OCLV carbon on the SLR, as opposed to 500 series on the SL.

The aluminium model has seen some major work and the result earned it a place in the Editor's Choice 2019 awards. The key characteristic we loved was the way it simply didn't look, or ride, like aluminium. A lot of this is down to Trek's 'Invisible Weld Technology' which increases the surface area of the frame, adding to strength and reducing weight. The ALR model's frame weight comes in at a competitive 1112g, or 1131g with discs, and it uses the brand's 300 Series Alpha Aluminium.

The carbon models are available in 'SLR' build or 'SL', the former being the lightest and the latter more affordable. The majority of Trek Émonda bikes cone in an 'H2' fit, but they can be purchased in an 'H1' geometry, if you choose the top end 'Race Shop' version.

There are a few nods to neatness and integration around, such as the use of 'Blendr Integration' which seamlessly mounts Bontrager’s cycling computer, Ionbike lights or even Garmin computers directly to the handlebars. On SLR versions there's ‘Control Freak Cable Management’ which allows for shifter and brake cables to be housed through the frame.

Trek bikes range

Trek Checkpoint

With gravel and adventure bikes a fast growing category, the Checkpoint is Trek's offering to fill that sector. The crucial element here is that both the SL and ALR frame options come fitted out with 35c gravel tyres, and can accommodate rubber up to 45c. They've all got internal cable routing, to ensure much stays out, whilst the higher end models use 'Control Freak' routing which is neater.

>>> Best gravel bikes: the top models reviewed

If you opt for the carbon SL model, you get vibration dampening from an IsoSpeed decoupler at the rear, too.  To provide stability and confidence on light trails as well as comfort on all-day adventures, the geometry is not as aggressive as the road bikes elsewhere in the range. Such all-day rides warrant plenty of kit, so there's mounts for racks and mounts. Similar to elsewhere in the range, there's AL, ALR and SL models.

Trek bikes range

Trek Speed Concept

Trek's Speed Concept time trial bike has been raced by the pros yet is still seen on the amateur race scene as a popular option.

>>> Check out Fabian Cancellara's 2016 Speed Concept

The frames use 500 Series OCLV Carbon, boasting the KVF (Kammtail Virtual Foil) tube shapes described in the Madone, plus a carbon fork with integrated brake and stem - the key goal being cutting through the air quickly.There's space to fit Trek's SC Draft Box and SC Sped Box, largely used by triathletes carrying snacks.

Trek bikes range

Trek Boone 5

Trek's got plenty of experience in the muddy realm of off-road cycling - and they've got a selection of cyclocross bikes. The Trek Boone 7 model comes with hydraulic disc brakes, a one-by crank and 12-speed cassette and they've all got Bontrager's own 33c cyclocross tyres.

The frame material is Trek's 600 series OCLV carbon, and there's front and rear IsoSpeed decouplers to help riders negotiate the mud without excess transfer of vibration. Combining the mud ready tyres, disc brakes, 'cross focused cable routing and geo into an aluminium package is the Trek Crockett family.

They key differentiation is the frame material, which is300 Series Alpha Aluminium, and there's no decoupler. However, it's still a performance bike that's ready to race.

The trains and stations of the Moscow Metro

2 Comments · Posted by Alex Smirnov in Cities , Travel , Video

The Moscow Metro is the third most intensive subway system in the world after Tokyo and Seoul subways. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935. Since 1955, the metro has the name of V.I. Lenin.

The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 305.7 km. Forty four stations are recognized cultural heritage. The largest passenger traffic is in rush hours from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

The fare is paid by using contactless tickets and contactless smart cards, the passes to the stations are controlled by automatic turnstiles. Ticket offices and ticket vending machines can be found in station vestibules.

Pure race pedigree

Domane was developed in collaboration with the pros of Trek-Segafredo to create a race-ready bike that’s fast and capable enough for the world’s most epic events – including the infamous Paris-Roubaix, where Elisa Longo Borghini and Lizzie Deignan raced Domane to victory two years in a row.

  • Read the story

"Domane is: Special. A great bike made better. A bike for the modern road rider: Freaking fast, wonderfully comfortable, and oh so practical.” - Bicycling

“The ride is simply sublime. Its balance between smooth, vibration-eliminating comfort, sharp handling, and out-and-out speed combines with an ability to get off the beaten track." - BikeRadar

"It absorbs all road vibrations, operates quietly, and accelerates on flats deceptively quickly… I'll be in for a rude awakening after returning to a road bike without IsoSpeed." - VeloNews

"The most notable transition from road to gravel was the sense of ease. Usually, when you roll from tarmac to stones, the bike can feel skittish and nervous (rider or bike). The Domane feels stable, and instead of holding your breath, you breathe out." - BikeRumor
