Trek Madone SL 5 8th Gen Shimano 105 12-speed road bike Paradigm 23 Gloss Dark Star Matte Deep Smoke 2026

Currently considered the benchmark on the market, the Trek Madone SL 5 8th Gen has been combining the advantages of Trek's high-end bikes, the Emonda and the Madone, for two seasons. This technological mix results in a bike that is equally at home in the mountains and on flat terrain. Ideal for those looking for a competition bike at an affordable price. The OCLV 500 carbon frame promises lightness and responsiveness, and combined with Trek's proprietary IsoFlow technology, comfort is also on the agenda. This bike offers the same aerodynamic performance as its big brothers. The cockpit is a two-piece design, which reduces the cost, but the internal cable routing ensures a clean finish and a touch of modernity.

The Shimano 105 12-speed groupset ensures reliable and precise gear changes. Equipped with disc brakes, braking is optimal in all situations. The Bontrager Paradigm 23 aluminium wheels are tubeless-compatible, which reduces the risk of punctures and provides comfort and traction. They are also very robust and have an exemplary lifespan.Technical specifications:
