Trek Madone SL 5 Special Edition

Trek Madone SL 5 Special Edition

The Madone SL 5 is a lightweight aero road bike that makes elite racing technology affordable. It offers similar aerodynamic advantages as the higher-priced Madone SLR Gen 8 but is built with a more affordable 500 Series OCLV Carbon layup and a two-piece cockpit with internal cable routing. Its race geometry ensures high speeds during sprints and confident control on fast descents. A mechanical Shimano 105 groupset keeps the price reasonable while delivering clean and reliable shifting performance. The combination of an aero frame, lightweight construction, and race-oriented geometry provides an aggressive, responsive ride – ideal for sprints, steep climbs, and efficient long-distance riding. IsoFlow smooths out road vibrations while maintaining power – even on demanding terrain. The versatile Mavic carbon wheelset is ideal for riders looking for the perfect balance of lightweight design, aerodynamics, and efficiency. New spokes and hubs give the Cosmic SL 45 Disc a light and lively feel when climbing and accelerating.
