The Madone SL 6 Gen 8 is a lightweight aero road bike that sets itself apart from its SLR siblings with its more affordable 500 Series OCLV Carbon, without compromising on elite racing technology. The electronic Shimano 105 Di2 groupset allows for lightning-fast, wireless gear shifts, while a solid aluminum handlebar keeps costs down. For an ultra-light performance, the bike is equipped with sleek carbon wheels. This is our lightest Madone SL Disc ever. The innovative, fast aero tube design and the lightweight yet affordable 500 Series OCLV Carbon make the 8th generation our lightest Madone SL Disc frameset to date, ideal for challenging climbs. This is what speed looks like today. The revolutionary aerodynamic Full System Foil tube design enhances airflow across the entire bike while keeping the weight low for steep inclines. Moreover, the entire bike’s construction has been meticulously refined and tested for even greater speed. 80% more vertically compliant IsoFlow. So you can pedal with more power for longer, our revised race-focused comfort technology is now lighter and even more vertically compliant. Rooted in racing, feedback from the fastest sprinters and climbers of Team Lidl-Trek influenced the development of the new Madone SL. Adjustable aero cockpit. The narrower top handlebar of the Madone Gen 8 compared to the drop bar allows for positioning optimized for aerodynamics or power on the bike. Additionally, the two-piece handlebar/stem design allows for quick and easy adjustments to fit. Optional aerodynamic water bottles for even more speed. The RSL Aero water bottles and bottle cages, developed alongside the Full System Foil tube shapes of the Madone, make the entire system faster.
