Trek Madone SL 7 Disc

The Madone SL 7 brings the majority of features from the range-topping SLR models to a frame built with Trek's 500 series OCLV carbon. That means you're getting all the aero advantages of the wind-tunnel tested KVF tube shapes, plus the more race-focused - but still extremely practical - geometry of their H1.5 fit.

The IsoSpeed coupler on the top tube isn't adjustable, but still does a fantastic job of smoothing out imperfections in the road surface, helping you to stay comfortable and go faster for longer.

Ultegra Di2 is fast and precise, and here we have the Zipp Vuka aerobars (complete with secondary Dura-Ace shifters at the ends of the extensions) to ensure that you can shift effortlessly even when tucked into an aero position.

The Madone frameset really is a well thought out package, these days aero doesn't need to mean heavy or uncomfortable. This build hits the sweet spot between race-readiness and everyday practicality.
