Trek Madone SLR Gen8 - London Launch at Cyclefit

We knew something was coming and like everyone else, assumed it was a new Trek Emonda for the mountains. The effective news lockdown held until two weeks ago when Trek asked us if we could host a London launch of their all-new, highly controversial Gen8 Madone SLR. Controversial because Gen8 annexes forever the ten year run of Trek's Emonda. Launched ten years ago as the lightest road bike ever made!

Gen8 Madone is more sculpted and beautiful than outgoing Gen7 or Emonda. The ride is sharper than both.

Gen 8 Madone - One Bike.

Gen8 represents a total re-think of the role of a race-bike for the next decade. No more conversations at pro or amateur level about which bike suits a particular course. Gen 8 Madone is as light as the outgoing Emonda and as aerodynamic as category leading Gen 7 Madone. It has clearances for 34mm tyres

Sarah from The London Academy is one of the first people in the UK to ride Gen8 Madone SLR. She was genuinely shocked.

What our clients say

  • "I'm new to cycling so needed some support on finding a bike that would be right for me. Julian couldn't have been kinder or more supportive, he took time to find out what I wanted from my cycling and then looked closely at my physical structure to ensure that the bike is a comfortable fit for me. It really is a 5 star service and far exceeded my expectations."

    RM

    New Cyclist

  • "A great service, full of personal touches as well as the "harder" scientific analysis of my position on the bike, which was also excellent. I feel more planted on the bike now, and came away with some really useful feedback from the session."

    Ed H

    London Dynamo Rider

  • "Rode my standard Box Hill loop this morning with the temp shims and more thought to position. Felt more connected and compact on the bike. Fastest ride of the year, picked up close to a km/per hour despite crappy wet pot holed roads, a ton of traffic and a couple of nights out Thu/Fri."

  • "Hey Julian and Phil, I hope you are both well. I just completed a 21 hour week on my new 165mm cranks and I am in love. They feel so so great! Thank you for all your help. I’ve never felt so comfortable on my bike before. All the best, Hannah"
