Lighter, more aerodynamic, and still comfortable without IsoSpeed? Trek introduces new IsoFlow tech to make the new Madone SLR.
At this point, if you’ve been paying attention you’ve probably already caught a glimpse of the new Madone SLR. Trek hasn’t exactly been hiding it from view, but now it’s official. To make the lightest Madone yet, Trek followed input from their top racers to redesign the IsoSpeed system to make the bike lighter – while simultaneously making it more aero and maintaining the ride comfort as well.
This also results in a seat tube that is cantilevered out from the top tube. Combined with the IsoFlow design below, this is said to provide much of the vertical compliance of the original IsoSpeed system, but in a lighter design and without any moving parts. Trek claims the new bike is almost 300g lighter than the previous Madone.
While Trek is excited about the new Bar/Stem combo, they also know that it won’t work for everyone. Because of that, the Madone has different bearing covers for the headset to allow it to work with any standard road stem on the market.Built with Trek’s premier 800 Series OCLV carbon, it’s paired with a KVF full carbon fork with a tapered carbon steerer. As you might expect from a modern super bike, the Madone SLR is only compatible with electronic drivetrains.
