Trek's most EXCITING Bike with a BOORING Paint Job

As a rider, there are a couple of minor, but impactful, issues. One is the lack of a barrel adjuster for brakes or gearing. Great if you have time to pull and re-cap cables, but not for on the road or for the casual user without his own shop tools. Also is the termination of the gear cable at the front derailleur. The loose end fits into some kind of plastic cap thingy that is completely useless. it constantly pops loose and defies replacement. Nice bike, but my Madone from 10 years ago had more user-friendly features. And if you really want to benefit from a lighter bike - skip the beers and burgers for a week. Instead of grams you can shed pounds! 2023 SL6 owner.
Gone are the days of rim brake and external cables! They were so nice and easy to do maintenance. I just wish road bikes can have rim option again, because I don’t ride in rainy weather so I don’t care about the brake performance in wet condition😢
Really looking forward to getting my 2023 SL6 in Satin Black. Been waiting since November 2021 for the 2022 model but Trek changed my order to a 2023 model. I have to pay an additional $500 since it’s now equipped with the new 105 di2. LBS said I should be getting it later this month😊. My first new bike in decades…🤙🏽
this bike looks really dumb you wouldnt catch me on this
I have a SL6 in satin black, it looks sharp!
That's awesome, I had to wait 9 months for my Specialized roubaix sport
The upgrade not the time
Did you finally get your bike?
Still riding, and enjoying, my 2016 Domane 5.2. I upgraded the wheels and kept it moving.
I got this beauty in September and absolutely love it, same color Deep Smoke.. I did upgrade to carbon wheels and Continental Grand Prix 5000 STR with tan walls. This bike is comfy and fast!!!!
Any creaking in iso speed clamp yet?
One thing I find admirable about trek’s domane and emonda is that, even though they’ve succumbed to the bike industry standard of disc brakes and (for the emonda) more aero tubes, they still keep the traditional seat stays, where so many other brands dropped their stays. Bold of them.
Does it really make that much of a difference beyond aesthetic and flex ? Us bikers are such snobs lol
@@Riktamorty true 😂. The fact that my own bike has a dropped stay wasn’t because I chose it for that reason, I chose it because it was the first road bike I tested and felt like I wanted to make an investment on it (a pretty damn good investment, if I do say so myself, even if it was a rocky relationship starting out)
@@Riktamorty its cheaper to manufacture.. basically one set of seat stays for small, med, large.. then another for xl, etc.. the stiffer stuff is pure marketing
Sure but have you seen the madone lol
LOL
I know guys want to buy the fastest and lightest bikes out there but this is the type of bike that will have you putting on the most miles.
Absolutely zero people putting in the most miles use anything like this.
Trek has no engineering quality control to speak of. No guarantees it will last.
No intelligent consumer with a functioning brain would pay the premium prices that Trek and Specialized, etc,,, charge for under specced bikes that are cheaply fabricated cookie cutter frame sets at their core with little to no serious quality control and often ridiculously poor fabrication. 😀😀
@@ivanboesky1520 Tell us what you ride?
@@ivanboesky1520 That’s why I have a local Trek store discount. :-) Gotta find ways to save, and not just complain online.
@@ivanboesky1520well what do you recommend?
I've owned a Trek Domane SL5 since 2021 and it's a comfortable anvil.
2030 Trek Domane: we removed the iso speed in the rear, made the frame out of ultra comfortable, super reliable steel and installed super lightweight rim brakes on our environmentally conscious lightweight aluminium rims. We've reduced the price to $17k with a lifetime warranty on the frame against cracks and delamination. Total weight 9.2 kg.
Watch out. You might be telling the future
good luck collecting on a Trek "lifetime warranty". they can easily claim user fault rather than "manufacturing defect" and hard to prove otherwise.
I’ve had two frames replaced by Trek. Love my lifetime warranty.
Rim brakes, FTW! ❤❤❤
Own the '22 Trek Domane AL5 Disc. Slug of a bike but that's pretty much any road bike with disc brakes.
I ride a 2021 Trek Domane AL Disc... a relatively heavy and uncomplicated endurance bike. It doesn't feel slower than a lot of sportier bikes I've ridden in the last few years, great handling and nice relaxed seating position. Great for any purpose... I can well imagine that the bike presented here is amazing to ride and fast.
The Domane AL is a great bike in its own right, and these just build upon that platform
The Darth Vader of bicycles.
The only problem is trying to find one, in your won specific size in a bike shop near you.
I bought a new Trek Domane SL5 Gen 4. It was great for about 10 miles or so. Then a creaking loud sound started coming from the seat post/Iso speed area. I had purchased the bike on a road trip intending to ride it on my vacation. I returned the bike to the shop and after a couple hours of diagnosing the problem, I was told Trek had a bulletin out regarding this problem. The shop didn't have the part that supposedly would fix the problem. Fortunately for me the shop had a 10 day return policy which I opted for. I had heard other customers complain about issues like this and had to learn for myself. Needless to say I'm done with Trek Iso speed!
I like it coz of the relax geometry, but still heavy
They removed the front iso speed because it was a heavy complex gimmick that didn't work. The gen 2 bike came with 32mm tyres so their claim that it could be removed in gen 4 because the bike now has wider tyres is simply not true.
Burn!
Why isn’t it true?
There is more than just wider tires going into it as I alluded to in the video. What time will tell, I'm looking forward to getting some good rides on the new Gen 4 so that way I can confirm or deny if it rides as good or better than the front ISOspeed versions
The Domane now supports up to 38mm tires, Allan, up from 35mm. (except the Domane RSL which still only clears 35mm.)
@@kidsafe iam pretty sure it is 38mm on the gen 3 aswell. I have that on my gen3 and got recommended from the local trek shop. It is plenty of space left to the ”seatpost” more then 1 cm between. The gen4 is better, but most importanat it is different bikes, the gen4 is more race oriented. Isospeed in the front on gen3 is god amazing! The gen3 bike is 2023 model right now aswell
Great video I was really surprised that bike weighs 20 pounds.
Thanx James - ultegra would be better for that price
It might be great, but how will we know since it seems to be unavailable. Trek Web site shows no bikes available in any size to actually purchase.
I just test it. Feels great for a long rides.
Good sale on this bike right now. To buy or not to buy 🤔
Hey.. great video.. one small correction, storage box was added in Gen 3, not in Gen 2 😊
Shoot you are right. I was thinking about the door under the bottle for cable routing and such, forgot it didn't let you store anything
Can you use the screws on the downtube for an additional bottle cage mount?
yes
Landry's, my go to LBS!
I upgraded my Gen 3 Domane to 12 spd Ultegra Di2, having that battery mount in there made for a really clean install.
It's a pretty sweet mount
While I don't really mind the weight I wonder how it is so heavy. My £1200 alloy, Tiagra equiped gravel bike is the same if not lighter.
Our local bike shop claims Trek carbon bikes are on backorder through middle of 2023
Also Checkpoint then?
Does that internal mount mean that you can DIY upgrade this bike to Di2 later?
James, do you think you can fit 40 mm tires in there with no problem? Something like a G one all around?
You can although trek does not want you to
Hey there! Any Idea if they plan on coming out with a new generation this year or sticking with the current. I'm on the fence on whether to buy this one (now older), or wait for the new 2024s? Let me know! Great vid!
This version came out in 2023. I would be highly surprised if they don't sell this frame for the next 3 to 4 years. It's a pretty advanced frame, have a hard time believing they would only sell it for a single year.
I’m stuck choosing between this and a checkpoint 5 for my daily ride to work and I really can’t make my mind up 😂
Domane
@@bob8619 can you explain why you would choose it over the checkpoint. I’m coming from a marlin 5 and want to make sure I don’t buy the wrong bike 😅
I think if you rode up to me with this bike, with that stem looking like that, I would tell you that you should have moved up a frame size ?? Or buy a hybrid bike :)
Well ti be honest like most other fake CZcams bike “reviewers” James is essentially another outside paid marketing rep for the bike products he “reviews”. This isn’t a real independent review and the same goes for clowns like GCN, Cycling Weakly, BikeRadar, David Arthur, The Gravel Cyclist, The Radavist, etc….😀😀
What is wrong with high stem like in the video?
I’ve got a 2022 domane SL5, recently bought some zip 303s wheels with 28c Pirelli zeros. It’s my first road bike (I mainly ride enduro) and I do like it but…… really wish I bought the Emonda SL6 now. I rushed too quickly buying my first road bike.
Why do you wish you bought a Emonda instead?
@Jamesthebikeguy I debated between the SL6 Emonda and SL6 Domane for the past two months. My LBS had both in stock with Rival groupset. I tested both back to back and at first thought the Emonda might be a little too aggressive and rough for some of the longer rides I have planned. At the same time I felt like the Domane was a bit too cushy and bloated feeling. The shop then switched out the stock 25mm rubber on the Emonda for me to try with 28mm GP5000's on TPU tubes and voila it was the perfect bike! Sooth and fast!
Went to look at an AL5 and the tubes were massive, my House gutter has smaller tubing. As soon as I saw the phallic head tube shape I walked away.
I think the headtube looks amazing on my domane (gen 3, 62cm frame). This one looks similar. It’s the stem I really dislike on this model. It looks off.
Have that bike, Its a giant slug
Great review dude. Love me some trek!!
When are you reviewing the dual sport plus ebike?
Please review SL5 gen 4 2024 thank you 😊
not sure why domane is way heavier than its competitors, even the SLR version is quite heavy.
The isospeed system adds considerable weight
@@tarekmoustafa2126 I agree. Domane is somewhat heavier than checkpoint, which is non-sense.
Isospeed, bottom cage, disc brakes, wheels. It’s comfy though on the flats.
Oh man, i wish I could have one of that dream bike,❤❤❤but can afford 😢, anyway good reviews ☺️
would love to get an unbiased comparison between the 2023 domane and roubaix; i have an older roubaix and really enjoy the future shock but looking to upgrade sometime in the next year and I like the domane's internal storage + additional tire clearance; also the future shock makes the bike a little more annoying to travel with so if I could get a smooth ride without the future shock that would be preferred
I just compared my 2020 Specialized Roubaix with Ultegra Di2 to the 2023 Trek Domane SL6 and also SLR6. Both Treks rode better. I liked them a lot more and I never really disliked my Roubaix!
thanks @@gair1944
Comparing two wildly overpriced pieces of poorly fabricated cookie cutter garbage. LOL
all top carbon bike brands are widely overpriced imo; what bike would you recommend that is comfortable but still reasonably fast; with internal storage?
Stay tuned!! I have a 2016 S-Works Roubaix and my 2023 Domane SLR9 etap will be here in two weeks. My first Trek... I'll update later but noticeable improvements in my performance.
Hey James!!!! Keep up the great content 🔥🔥🔥 your insight as true diehard cycling sportsman shines through on all your videos CONSISTENTLY!!! 💰💰💰💰
Im converting 2022 Cannondale Trail SE 4 hard trail to drop bars.....is it possible to utilize drop bars levers to actuate both dropper seat post and lock out on the suspension forks???
LOL
All this time, I've been pronouncing it "Domain". LOL
It looks so clean! I have a wait date of Aug 2023 for mine :(
That's so far away, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait
Where do you live ??? I live in the states and got mine in September.
@@mikep1180 I live in the States as well. I ordered the SL5 in Mercury and they gave me that date. Hopefully they contact me about it much sooner lol. I don't mind waiting though.
@@sc20777 have you gotten your bike already? You can literally order it straight from trek and get it in about a week.
I went into a bike shop today and they are having mine delivered tomorrow, same color. Hope you get yours soon!
I always pronounced it as ‘doh maine’. I didn’t know it was pronounced ‘do mah nee’
This sure is one bike to rule them all. If it were 8kg.....
This is a good set of wheels, and a light set of cockpit components away from being a real solid performer all around. Personally, I'd spend the money on that instead of going up the range, since it takes quite a few jumps up to start saving weight

Made In Taiwan Sticker 1st Time in Trek
(Till previous year, it was made in china)
Am I Right🤔
All trek carbon bikes are made in Taiwan or Cambodia been that way for a while
For the low end groupset and extremely heavy and cheap wheel set, it cost way way too much. Over 9 kg is very heavy! And I wonder if the ISO speed is going to cause problems like on previous generations. I had gen3 domane, I had to service the ISO speed 3 times in 9 months. When that decoupler starts to creak and make noise, it will drive you crazy! Also had SLR6 Madone, and same story, not only that the iso speed has been producing loud creaking noises, it also started to damage my frame. After months of waiting for warranty replacement, I said to my self, no more trek and their "Innovations" Over all, Trek is expensive brand that is trying to be different and innovating, but has a lot of problems. Not to mention that they are pushing budget old shimano parts (r7000 came out 5 years ago) on expensive bikes.
All bikes are overpriced. Any road bike that costs $5000 should cost $2000.
@@vika0194 That is true, but how many 2023 bike do you know that are coming with old 11 speed 105? And we are not talking about budget aluminium bikes, we are talking about carbon 4000+ euros "race bikes"
@@carbonfreak6490 Yes. I wonder why people accept these prices.
VK - Because of mass gullibility and stupidity in the consumer side of the bicycle market, that’s why. Makers like Trek and Specialized are not pouring millions of dollars out each year sponsoring (paying pros to ride their cookie cutter junk bikes). They are doing it because they know there are literally thousands of morons out there who will see rider X on a Trek or a Specialized and assume it has to be some great bike and they’ll race out to buy one at a silly price. 😀
wish they didnt go with a weird seat tube so i could run my suspension seatpost
Agreed
How much?
Hey man can you review trek domane al 3 2022-23? Big fan of your reviews
@Jobsworth Jobber oh I didn't know that thanks 👍
Whenever a 23 comes available I'll be sure to video it
It's a nice bike, it's funny that the UCI brought in the weight limit of 6.8KG... no chance modern "road" bikes will be pushing that legal requirement any time soon. 🙂😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Lol
Wrong. Some roadbikes have dense metal weights affixed to make the weight UCI legal. Even my 2021 Trek Emonda weighs in at 6.9Kg. Any lighter, which means spending sort of big money to do, and it'd also be under the UCI limit.
@@srddrs9285 Interesting, which Emonda do you have that's 6.9KG? Does it have disc brakes?
@@srddrs9285 Some road bikes can be built to be as light as 5KG... my point is new road bikes (which are really gravel bikes) are way heavier than old road bikes of only a few years ago. Now only the very top tier bikes are down to the UCI limit. Anything below the very top tier and you are looking at 8KG, Also by the time you add pedals they are up to 8.5 or even 9KG. Yes you have disc brakes and wider tyres... lovely just what's needed on a road bike. ooops we've just added 1.5KG.. never mind.
Great do it all Bike
The Darth Vader of bicycles.
I have 2020 Domane SL5 and love it ❤
Awesome. Keep on having fun
if youre mostly riding on the road, an emonda with 28mm tyres and a few headset spacers will just be as comfortable... emonda is a better bike
It depends if you're at the limit of fit or not. The Emonda is considerably shorter and longer. So the emonda at full height is still a little shorter than the Domane.
It's also worth noting a lot of people like the more stable handling of an endurance bike, so even if there are technical advantages to a performance bike, not everyone wants that type of handling or ride
How about all the headset spacers and 30mm tires? 😀
@@Jamesthebikeguy is it always true that and endurance bike will be more comfortable than a race bike like emonda? Or is their some personal preference involved?
only if its an Emonda Rim Brake. Once you add disc to any bike it becomes a slug gravel bike lol
@@joed7185 Just picked up a 2023 Emonda SL6 Pro AXS. My LBS swapped out the 25mm stock tires for 28mm GP5000's on TPU tubes for me to try. It was the perfect balance between smoothness and speed for me. Not as cushy as the Domane but so much more responsive.
How much does it cost?
A lot! 🏦🏦🏦🏦
Made in China they sell that same bike at Walmart where I live
Nice.
Yes sir
All marketing bs, like about every claim, review, claims, new break through, bla, bla, bla.. not a diss in this particular vid, but when are people just going to admit they just buy what they want, and drop the notion any bike will turn you into something your not. But they want to believe it all because it somehow enhances justification. Much more, significant are words that should be dropped from bike descriptions today..
I really don't know what is there to be excited about.... All carbon fiber bikes look alike and probably made in the same Chinese dump.
Time to delelop something better than the stupid dirty derailleurs and chains.
Damm ...take my money $
Seriously!
Made In Taiwan!!! Got the sticker to prove it...
Like many bikes out there
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The width of these top tubes is laughable, to anyone with actual thighs 🤣
$4800
Definitely not. The MSRP has described is 3499 USD as of 11. 6. 22
@@Jamesthebikeguy opps all these bike models are super confusing
105 mechanical? I thought shimano did away with that for di2.
Not until they make a 11 speed tiagra.. would be weird to not have an 11 speed group
Road bikes are so 2000's...
What’s new?
It's just a gimmick to get you to buy another bike.
Just another stupid angled frame and yet again in a boring black colour. I'll stick to my Madone 5.9 LA replica and I'll have no problems racing against people who will ride on these kind of stupid angled frames. What an awful era of UCI regulated nonsense we wide in! There was a time when a road bike was sexy - not anymore!
I believe it’s pronounced “domain”
Go ahead and watch any Trek brand video and the pronunciations will be as dictated in this video.
Imagine being this stupid. r/confidentlyincorrect
Domane is not english name, italy if i'm not wrong. That's why pronounced is different.

Domane is not english name, italy if i'm not wrong. That's why pronounced is different.
Isospeed is causing creaking and seat post slipping issues left and right. Trek should stop selling them until they have a fix and Rev 2 of the isospeed isn't it.
A silly priced cheaply fabricated cookie cutter CF bike. 😀
