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!

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
"Underneath the faux-friendly Teletubbies paint lurks a total weapon"
