An earth-shattering combination of its
lightest and fastest road race bikes, the new Madone will be ridden
by cyclists competing in this year's Tour de France
WATERLOO, Wis., June 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- It's a bird, it's a plane, it's
a… super-fast road bike? Today, Trek Bicycle released the
all-new Madone Gen 8, an innovative fusion of two iconic
superbikes. As light as the Émonda frameset and as fast as the
Madone Gen 7, the Madone Gen 8 is reinvented to bring the best of
both worlds together in the only race bike you'll ever need. The
new model was developed hand in hand with Trek's professional
riders and will be ridden by the Lidl-Trek team during the 2024
Tour de France, starting in
Florence, Italy on June 29 and finishing in Nice, France on July
21. Now aspiring racers and road cycling enthusiasts alike
can hit the pavement with the same race bike technology as the
pros.
"Before, looking for the best race bike on the market meant
looking for either the fastest bike or the lightest bike, depending
on your training and riding conditions," says Whitney Beadle, Trek Road Marketing Manager.
"Now, cyclists don't have to choose between the two and can get the
benefits of the ideal race bike whether they are speeding along
flat roads or tackling the toughest climbs. The Madone boasts the
best features Trek racing models have to offer and was designed
with input from the world's top racers resulting in one ultimate
racing machine."
Supporting the Madone Gen 8's speed is a design optimized with
new tube shapes called Full System Foil that keeps air flow moving
smoothly so riders can hit top speeds. The bike's SLR models also
feature new 900 OCLV carbon that is up to 20% stronger than
previous materials and uses less material to save weight. Models of
the new release feature the newest IsoFlow comfort tech, shaving
even more weight off the bike and absorbing bumps in the road to
keep you riding stronger for longer. Plus, new RSL Aero Bottles and
Cages help make the whole ride system faster and aerodynamic.
Madone Gen 8 will be available globally at select Trek retailers
and online on Trek's website beginning at $3,499.99. To learn more about Trek Bicycle and
