Trek Madone 5 Series H2 Frameset 2014

Trek Madone 5 Series H2 Frameset 2014

Trek has a long and illustrious history producing high quality, race winning, performance framesets and bikes. Their latest incarnation, the Trek Madone 5 Series H2 Frameset, is just as performance orientated but with an H2 frame fit, making it one of the most high versatile road framesets on the market.

Used by many professional athletes as well as teams such as Trek Factory Racing and MTN Qhubeka, the Madone range are renowned for being lightweight, tough and offer and comfortable yet stiff ride.

500 Series OCLV carbon is the basis for the frame, lightweight with the Optimum Compaction Low Void manufacture process resulting in a very high quality finish to the frame.

Trek offer a range of geometries, the Madone 5 Series uses the H2 fit, providing a higher headtube for added comfort, yet still offering an aggressive and race-focused position. Many professional cyclists looking for outright race performance and all day comfort favour the H2 geometry.

The frameset features performance cable routing. This keeps the cables out of sight, enhancing aerodynamics, improving gear shifting and brake performance, whilst allowing easy access to install and maintain cables.

Trek has made the Madone 5 Series electronic groupset compatible, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into the frameset.

What really makes the Madone 5 Series Frameset stand out from other frames is the brakeless seatstays, reducing weight and creating a more aerodynamic profile.

This is one fast frameset, made even quicker with the headtube designed using KVF, Kammtail Virtual Foil shaping. This technology has also been used in the fork.

The integrated brakes added to the aerodynamic, speed focused design and leave the seatstays clear for a clean and fast look.

KVF has been extensively developed so it bends in response to the angle of the typical crosswind, this allows the frame to slice through and be more stable in strong winds.

The added aerodynamic legs, on the fork, minimises drag and with dropouts moulded from carbon fibre, results in a very light and laterally stiff set of forks, perfect for pin sharp handling.

E2 asymmetric design on the headtube and fork dampens road vibrations and increases lateral stiffness, resulting in direct power transfer.

A fantastic package, Trek have included a Ride Tuned Seatmast. This is light, comfortable and features a no-cut design, a seamless and stylish seatpost.

The BB90 bottom bracket system is the widest available on a road bike and provides a light and stiff basis for ultimate power transfer to the pedals.

Finishing touches include a 3S integrated chain keeper and the DuoTrap system. This innovative computer system provides aerodynamic, discrete and reliable speed, distance and cadence readings when paired up to an ANT enabled device.

Available in a range of colours.
