Trek Madone SL 6 Gen 8 (2025)
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Madone SL 6 Gen 8 is a lightweight aerodynamic road bike that makes elite technologies accessible. It offers aerodynamic advantages similar to the more expensive Madone SLR Gen 8, but with a more affordable OCLV 500 carbon layup and a two-piece cockpit with invisible cable routing. It is designed for racing with geometry that ensures a comfortable climbing position but aggressive when needed. The Shimano 105 Di2 groupset keeps the price down without sacrificing the speed benefits of electronic shifting. Additionally, it comes complete with ultralight high-performance carbon wheels.
