I own the exact same bike. Best ride I've ever had. Running ENVE 4.5 ARs tubeless (Schwalbe Pro Ones, 28s), it stays glued to the ground descending and on the flats. And once you get it going... so nice.
Great video and nice bike man. It’s a 56cm I heard you say. What’s the weight and what’s your height. ? I wasn’t a Trek Madone lover until this model came in. I’m thinking going for a Trek Madone or a Bianchi Oltre XR4? 🤔 Cuz the bike I own now is a Bianchi 928L light climbing bike. But I’m thinking going aero. I’m 1.73 a 52 or 54 would fit me better?
Hi mate. Im 180cm and ride the 56. Best thing to do is to go into your local trek dealer and get fitted to the bike. The Madones are a bit longer in reach due to the hood length. It's a great bike. I am now on the 2022 Emonda slr7
KMC gold chains perform and last just as well as Ultegra in my opinion, have to keep them clean for the bling though. Nice video and nice bike! No question, madones are fast.
Obviously it isn't as comfortable but honestly it's not far off. Most comfortable aero bike in my opinion. It climbs fine. It is noticeably a little more heavy but I like it alot
I’m from Sydney and looking for a new bike and don’t know whether to go with say the Madone or new Emonda. I’ve never ridden carbon fibre before, just a basic aluminium bike which was my first road bike. I want looks, comfort, speed, climbing with my local club group rides and just everyday riding lol. What’s your thoughts on this. How does it feel to ride both bikes? Many thanks!
Hey mate. I have had both and they are both great bikes. I honestly love the Emonda. In your situation it would definitely be the better choice. Its a great all round bike. Climbs awesome. Great at speed and handling is a dream.
I strongly disagree. I got a Domane SLR 9, rode Emonda SLR 7, and settled on the the Mad One. It is SO stable, powerful, responsive, enjoyable, substantial. aesthetic, FAST, and RACY. Emonda is very "dead". Give them both a try. My buck says you'll land on a Madone- both Shimano and SRAM are great in their own way, but the frame and wheels, and cockpit- nothing like the Mad One
Good question. I love this bike. It's stiff comfortable and very very fast. Most comfortable aero bike. But it is heavy. I notice going up tbat it's a bit heavy. My 56 weight 8.8kgs with cages and pedals and power meter. But it you want comfort and speed mixed with one of the best looking bikes money can buy then yeah for sure.

Well said mate.. those are the wheels I would probably go with aswell
Yeah! He’s back... keep them rolling.
Just bought the same bike 👌 hoping to get a few rides in before the weather in the UK gets to crap 👍
Nice mate.. you will love it.
Social Spinner hopefully, what mount are you using for Garmin/Wahoo?
I'll have a better look tomorrow but pretty sure it's the bontrager out front mount with a underside light attachment
Beautiful, Trek has a winner ....
awesome bike ... going to upgrade my Madone 5.2 to a newer Madone ... those parrots momentarily took control

I'm 5 11 and I'm looking at a size 56 of this bike tomorrow. Will I be ok, size wise?!
Will be close mate. Should be ok.

Awesome thanks for the advice Shaun. Cheers mate 🤙
How is your StagesPower meter hitting your frame? I have stages gen 3 on my SLR and it clears my frame pretty good!!
It was hitting the frame when i first installed it mate. I put an extra shim on the crank and it just clears now.
Nice bike. How is it’s comfort compared with Tarmac sl 6 if you tried both and how is it in climbs? Thanks!

I saw the video when you bought the bike from the original owner!
Haha awesome
Hi！I'd love to know what size should I choose. My inseam height is 84 and 177cm height. thx
Hi. You would be half way between a 54 and 56. Best to get measured up in store mate. The Madone are slightly longer in reach
@@AaronGale85 thank you
Aram mp3 hecanivy sranica😂💙
Hey, what size is your bike btw? Cheers
56
Well done Aaron!
Cheers mate
How comfortable is this bike?
Pretty good for aero bike. Not as good as my new emonda though
@@AaronGale85 I appreciate your response. I'm new and looking to get new a bike.
If you can only have 1 bike and live in an area where you have flats, rolling hills, and climbs would you recommend this bike?
Good question. I love this bike. It's stiff comfortable and very very fast. Most comfortable aero bike.
But it is heavy. I notice going up tbat it's a bit heavy. My 56 weight 8.8kgs with cages and pedals and power meter.

Social Spinner awesome! This exact bike that you have, even the color, is on sale at my local trek store. Just need to get approval from the wife 😆
Do it. Tell her it's a life investment. 🤙 good luck. Let me know how you go. Follow my Instagram azza.gale to check out some rad pics of it
Social Spinner will follow now. Thank you sir!
🤙🙌
how much that bike now?
Sorry mate. Do you mean how much new or second hand?
@@AaronGale85 new slr6 dude or 2nd hand. i wanted to buy bike like budjets bike
Not much has changed technology wise so 2nd had would be fine. Just be careful with what you buy though. If you can buy new its always better
thanks mates!
It’s a Pioneer powermeter doofus.
Yeah whoops.. was a bit flubergasted
first :)
Boom
