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 technologies. The electronic Shimano 105 Di2 group enables lightning-fast, wireless gear shifts, while the sturdy aluminum handlebar helps keep costs down. For an ultra-light performance, the bike rolls on sleek carbon wheels.
This is our lightest Madone SL Disc ever. The innovative, quick aero tube design and the lightweight yet affordable 500 Series OCLV Carbon make the 8th generation our lightest Madone SL Disc frame set to date, making it the perfect bike for challenging climbs. This is what speed looks like today. The revolutionary aerodynamic Full System Foil tube design enhances airflow across the bike and keeps the weight low for tough climbing segments. Additionally, the entire bike's construction has been carefully optimized and extensively tested for increased speed.
With 80% more vertical compliance thanks to IsoFlow, our revamped race-focused comfort technology allows you to pedal powerfully for longer, being lighter and offering better vertical flex. Rooted in racing, the feedback from the fastest sprinters and climbers on Team Lidl-Trek influenced the development of the new Madone SL.
Adjustable Aero Cockpit. The upper handlebar of the Madone Gen 8 is narrower than the drop bar, enabling a position optimized for either aerodynamics or power. The two-part handlebar/stem design allows for quick and easy adjustments of the fit. Optional aerodynamic water bottles for even more speed. The RSL Aero water bottles and bottle cages were developed alongside the Full System Foil tube shapes of the Madone, making the entire system faster.
