Best in Test: Trek Madone SLR 9 Disc
The 2019 Trek Madone SLR 9 Disc convinces with its absolutely outstanding riding characteristics in all aspects. The stability combined with first-class agility and the incredibly high level of comfort for an aero bike not only ensures fast times but also good times. The sprightly but composed handling conveys a lot of confidence and gladly forgives occasional rider errors. Despite the IsoSpeed shocks, Trek manages to keep the weight of the size 56 down at 7.63 kg. The Madone is a masterpiece of engineering. Trek has created an aero bike for everyone – from beginners to professionals, everyone wins, and it’ll make a lasting impression at the café too. A deserved best-in-test for the € 11,499 Trek.
