Trek has launched its 2014 series road bikes. The most remarkable improvement in the new Trek road bikes is the strong specs on the entry-level 1 Series. Now all Trek 1 series frames have a carbon fork, including the 1.1. There are also improvements across the Madone and Domane lines, i.e. the frames of the Madone 4 Series are aero now.
Trek has announced that, from now on, they won’t do annual updates, instead they’ll release bikes as soon as they are developed and produced. They called this “Apple approach”: Trek UK marketing manager Chris Garrison said that “We are taking more of the Apple approach. When the iPhone 5 is ready, it’s ready, and it goes on sale. But you can still buy an iPhone 4 if that’s your thing.”
Trek 2014 collection: Race Performance Series
Madone 7 Series
Madone 7 is the highest level road bike that Trek produces, hand-built from OCLV Carbon in Waterloo, Wisconsin, USA. The Madone 7 Team edition, pictured above, has been used by the UCI Pro team RadioShack-Leopard at the Tour de France 2013 and took a stage win with Jan Bakelants.
It is equipped with Shimano Dura-Ace 9070 Di2 11-speed drivetrain, Bontrager Aeolus 5 clincher wheels with Bontrager R4 Black tires. Madone 7 is coming with 10 different builds, but the specifications, like all Trek models, are highly customizable, you can build your own bike at the Trek cycles website.
The US price of the Trek Madone 7 2014 Team edition is $12,421.48 (on the Trek US page).
Madone 6 Series
Madone 6 is also hand-built from OCLV Carbon in Waterloo, Wisconsin, USA. You can choose H1 or H2 geometry. The biggest difference is in the length of the head tube. With the H1 fit, it’s 16cm on a 58cm frame; with the H2 fit, it’s 19cm. In H2 geometry, the top tube is also a bit shorter and just a touch steeper head angle. That means your ride position is a little more upright to take the strain off your back and neck, without the need to use a stack of flexing spacers. The H2 setup is still performance-orientated, but it’s a bit more relaxed.
The Madone 6.2, pictured above, is coming with Ultegra 6800 groupset, Bontrager Race Light TLR wheels with Bontrager R3 Black tires. The price of this build is $4,897.19 (on Trek US page). 8 different builds are available.
