Trek Domane SL 6 Disc Road Bike 2017

The Trek Domane SL 6 Disc Road Bike 2017 has been developed to enhance braking in every weather condition imaginable and inspire confidence in the corners for greater enjoyment and overall ride quality. Using Shimano RS685 Hydraulic Disc, Flat Mount brakes alongside Vision Metron 40 Disc LTD wheels, everything remains stiff when sprinting, and efficient when climbing. Exactly what you need in a bike that combines some of the lightest, most high-performing components in the cycling industry.

Throughout the Trek Domane SL range, Trek have incorporated their lightweight, stiff and strong 500 Series OCLV Carbon, which when combined with their full-carbon fork, Endurance Geometry and IsoSpeed technology, becomes one of the most high-performing and functional frames on the market. Trek haven’t just slapped these features onto the Trek Domane SL 6 Disc Road Bike 2017 without any development though, they’ve used their arsenal of riders to push the technology to the next level.

Fabian Cancellara is known for his ultimate domination in the Spring Classics, with a riding style that is so finely tuned, he’s able to advise on how his bike needs to be altered. Winning the Paris-Roubaix takes some serious skill, with some serious technology to boot, and that’s why the Trek Domane has been developed.

Using Trek’s 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame, the Domane is lightweight enough to increase efficiency, but strong enough to remain stiff in a range of varied terrain - but this isn’t just down to the frame, though. Strenuously developed over numerous years, Trek’s revolutionary IsoSpeed technology delivers great compliance by allowing the seat tube to move back and forth, isolating the rider from the road without negatively affecting steering, cornering or power transfer.

IsoSpeed is also adjustable, ranging between cobble riding and full-out sprinting stiffness, claiming to be as stiff as the Emonda. The rear end is five times as stiff as other seatposts, whilst the front end is 10% more compliant than others in the market. Simply take a 4mm Allen key and unscrew the lower bottle cage bolt, slide the IsoSpeed slider up for a stiffer ride, and down for a more compliant ride.

Shimano Ultegra 6800, 11-speed is the pinnacle of reliable, fast-shifting gearing the mechanical world, and this is why Trek have used this prestigious drivetrain to enhance the ride feel of the Domane SL 6. A wide range of gearing provides enough versatility to suit every rider's riding style, whether that be to attack the climbs or sit back and spin through the gears, allowing you to stay comfortable and push your performance when it suits you.

The Trek Domane is specifically designed for long, endurance rides, and this is why Trek have incorporated their endurance geometry with a taller headtube, longer reach and slightly longer chainstays to make the Domane smoother and more stable over longer distances. The E2 head tube, lower BB90 bottom bracket and oversized chainstays enhance its superior stiffness and excellent ride quality.

Bontrager Race Lite IsoZone handlebar adds to the comfort of the IsoSpeed range, dissipating road vibrations by 20% compared to other stiff handlebars, whilst Shimano RS685 Hydraulic Disc, Flat Mount brakes give the versatility of riding in wet weather, knowing you’ll stop at the point you need to with its reliable and powerful braking prowess.

Vision Metron 40 Disc LTD wheels add to the performance of the Domane SL 6 Disc with a deeper rim construction for enhanced aerodynamics, but remaining shallow enough to ensure you’re as efficient as possible in the climbs and nimble enough around corners.

Vanishing mudguard mounts add to the Domane’s versatility, allowing to fit mudguards up to 45C, with tyres accommodated up to 32C on disc brakes and 28C for calliper brakes.
