The Madone SL 6 Gen 8 is a lightweight aero road bike that stands out from its SLR siblings due to its more affordable 500 Series OCLV Carbon, without compromising on elite racing technology. The electronic Shimano 105 Di2 groupset ensures lightning-fast, wireless gear changes, while the sturdy aluminum handlebars help keep costs down. For super lightweight performance, the bike is equipped with sleek carbon wheels. This model represents our lightest Madone SL Disc ever. The innovative, fast aero frame design, combined with the lightweight yet affordable 500 Series OCLV Carbon, makes the eighth generation our lightest Madone SL Disc frame set to date and the ideal bike for challenging climbs. This is what speed looks like today. The revolutionary aerodynamic Full System Foil tube design enhances airflow across the entire bike and maintains a low weight for demanding climbing sections. Additionally, the overall construction of the bike has been carefully optimized and extensively tested for even more speed. The IsoFlow technology, now 80% more vertically compliant, allows for longer periods of powerful pedaling, as our updated race-focused comfort technology is lighter and even more vertically forgiving. Rooted in racing, feedback from the fastest sprinters and climbers of Team Lidl-Trek has influenced the development of the new Madone SL. The adjustable aero cockpit features a narrower top bar compared to the drops of the Madone Gen 8, allowing for an optimized position on the bike for aerodynamics or power. Plus, the two-part handlebar/stem design makes fit adjustments quick and easy. Optional aerodynamic water bottles for even more speed. The RSL Aero bottles and bottle cages, developed alongside the Full System Foil tube shapes of the Madone, enhance the overall system’s speed.
