Road bike Trek Madone SL 6 8th Gen SRAM Rival AXS 12v Aeolus Elite 50 Gloss Crystal White 2026

The Trek Madone SL 6 AXS Gen 8 Gloss Crystal White embodies the perfect balance between performance and affordability. This aerodynamic road bike incorporates technologies from the very highest level, while maintaining a lower price thanks to the use of OCLV 500 Series carbon, which is more affordable but still stiff, light and efficient. A direct descendant of the Madone SLR, this model offers a fast, fluid platform designed for riders who want to push their limits without breaking the bank. IsoFlow technology, integrated into the rear of the frame, improves vertical smoothness, reduces aerodynamic drag and absorbs road irregularities, for a smoother ride over longer distances.

The SRAM Rival AXS 2x12 speed electronic groupset offers instant, precise and smooth wireless shifting. The Bontrager Aeolus Elite 50 Tubeless Ready carbon wheels add a real aerodynamic boost and contribute to the feeling of speed from the very first turns of the pedal. Their 50mm profile makes it easy to maintain a high pace, while retaining stability and manoeuvrability. To keep the price down without compromising on quality, this model is equipped with a robust and comfortable aluminium cockpit that ensures precise control of the bike.
