Renowned for its ability to balance aerodynamics with ride quality, the new Madone is set to appeal to a far wider audience as the choice of rim vs. disc brakes opens up a whole new world of applications.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Turning up the Madone racing magic<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that Madone has proven to be one of the fastest aero super bikes on the planet. But the real magic lies in that winning combination of aerodynamics, ultra-lightweight and superior ride quality. Other aero bikes may feel harsh and overly stiff, sacrificing ride quality for that aerodynamic profile. Madone, on the other hand, pulls out all the stops, giving you that full aero speed that takes on cobbles, climbs and descents <em>and<\/em> gives you the ride of your life. Nothing rides like a Madone, and feeling is believing on the new SLR!<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4683 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sparkbikereview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/MadoneSLR6Disc-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2250\" \/><br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2543340168475428\" data-ad-slot=\"9215839881\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Top Tube IsoSpeed for a sublime ride<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The adjustable Top Tube IsoSpeed on the Madone not only smooths out the road in front of you; it diminishes rider fatigue, helping you stay fresher for longer.
