"Project One Custom means that: frame-size, frame-finish, crank-length, stem-length, bar-width etc, are perfected choices rather than costly mistakes."
Superbike Peak Carbon
Within the category of top-flight race-bikes, there is a virtual arms-race between the bike manufacturers with the deepest R&D pockets. All of them trying to revise, re-think and re-engineer, what is possible if they stretch the latest carbon weave to its performance limits. We can't own and drive a Formula One car but we can ride a full factory-innovated Tour de France bike. And right now as the latest technology out of the super-lab, Trek's Gen8 Madone is the unchallenged apotheosis.
David read our Gen8 Madone launch piece, and as a Trek fan, who still has hard-charging riding goals, wanted the F1 riding experience. David's Project One Madone is our first Gen8 to be delivered. Our goal was to deliver a race-bike that was 'substantially' under the 6.8kg UCI limit!

Trek's IsoFlow tech has divided the crowd almost 50/50% - but despite the fact that it burnishes ...
