Trek - Aluminum frame construction with tradition

The US manufacturer Trek is one of the pioneers in the production of aluminum frames since the eighties. You can therefore rely on a huge know-how. This can be seen in every detail of the Domane frame, for example the cleanly smoothed welds. Trek manufactures specific tube profiles from the 100 Series Alpha aluminum using a process known as hydroforming. This shape ensures an optimal ratio between stiffness and weight. In addition, there are coherent details such as internally routed cables and a stiff quick-release system for the wheels. Aluminum is still the most reliable and robust material in frame construction. Trek combines the frame classically with a lightweight carbon fork. The carbon fiber material effectively dampens vibrations thanks to its molecular properties. Restful for the body on long distances and thus an important factor of the Endurance philosophy of the Trek Domane series.
