Trek Madone SL 6

overall Impression

If Darth Vader had a road bike it would be the Trek Madone. The striking aerodynamics of the frame aren't just for show and tell - they're the great advantage of the Madone. The carbon frame is shaped so that you can slip though the heavy head winds. The Madone SL6 is slightly heavier with base-line components like Shimano's Ultegra R8000 drivetrain. Expect high speed once you get the wheels rolling, even wheels not being carbon, you still get the advantage of being aerodynamic.
