Basically, the team wanted something that could compete against the Specialized SL8, the Cannondale SuperSix Evo HiMod 2, and the Pinarello Dogma F. It looks great to me!
I think this is somewhat of a TDF tradition 😅 The Cube Litening i.e. also looks terrible in the race design, but is a beautiful bike in the standard colors.
I have the new Madone SL5 - it's great! I put good carbon wheels and handlebar on it. I can also upgrade to Di2 if I want in the future, but I'm happy with 12-speed 105.
I applaud the effort and result of blending aero with less weigh. I wonder if Trek has plans to also revamp the wheels (lighter) which would even more weigh savings to all models. It is a competition when it comes to other brands, Specialized, Giant to name a couple. Light(set) weigh matters to the buyer/athlete. BEAUTIFUL Bike. Sexy with brains, a hands down winner.
next thing trek will do is mix this madone with their domane and form one bike. They will then do it with checkpoint, and eventually the only bike trek produces for mountain, road, kids, and urban is Madone.
Yeah and the prices going ridiculous cost more than a motorbike. This world is ridiculous and stupid people buying it. Talking about aerodynamic with a moving rider again ridiculous
Thanks guys. You made a heavier emonda and an uglier less aero Madone. And if we want it to be "Just as aero" we have to pay $200 for bottles and cages. Once again you piss on what the customer wants. And to charge $1300 MORE for a frameset you made purely based on an economic crisis is laughable. As in ha ha, not getting my money
It’s only more aero with the heavy bottles. Half of the weight saving is from sram. Why give flat time gains over emonda and not v madone gen7? Only reason they built this is to save money. Ofcourse you have to change the robe sizes to get the same compliance throw out the sizes. I said this the minute they came out with the cantilever rear ended.
I love the look and really dislike that to get same aerodynamics of the old madone you have you use those stupid bottles.. Win and Loss.. And the isoflow is a let down as well as I have already seen many friends have theirs fail on their Madone 7
@@c0reying imo There is no disadvantage here. They are all fast bikes but some people are just disappointed Trek released Gen 8 to replace the 7 and also weight of Gen 8 is lighter.
This bike has a beautiful paint job. However: The TREK bikes for "normal" people are bloody ugly: covered over and over with disgusting stickers that you can't peel off because Trek put paint over it. Even the wheel have ugly stickers on them. WHY, Trek, WHY? Why do you do this? Would you buy a fancy car that is covered with stickers and - in addition to tha sacrilege - has the brand name written in HUGE letters over the whole car? You probably wouldn't. Why do you do it with your bicycles? Can't the branding be more decent?

It really is a shame that Lidl is Trek's main team sponsor because that paint job is truly horrendous.

I got my gen 7 lass than a year. Then this came out😂
@trek failed by not changing the name of the new combined bike. Bike should be called the Madonna
The entry level it's on spot for the price tag and tech, but everything else looks like a desesperate effort for cost cutting

This is all about cutting down on SKU’s in order to cut down on overhead.
Amazing progress and knowledge. I’m understanding why it costs £12600
ad scam😂trek always no the GC bike
Really? The technology that goes into a motorbike is way beyond this and I can buy cheaper. Total rip off.
How much better would the gen 7 madone be with the new carbon and water bottle design?
Create an aero shape for heavier riders that’s 200 -215 pounds.
Luckily the older frame is still out there. I have a gen 6.
完全抄madone的空力造型 還可以拍個科研說到好像新技術這樣 所以廣告拍得好一點又可以騙人開高價
Give me that E2 prototype I would be elated to ride that.
Trek makes good bikes but aesthetically just not a fan of the outset seat tube.
Oops, already was able to watch this 2 days ago lol

I think the emonda and madone both needed one more interaction or generation before they became one
Trying to save money?

Hence they have changed the tube sizes. You can’t build a lightweight cantilever that fits all weights. The dimensions have to be different.
So I need to buy this new model so I can fit the water bottle that the pros throw on the road 😭.
I am glad I just brought a Gen7 Madone. Not sure if I want to buy this one.
I ordered one. Rode one today. It’s light and fast
What do you feel the disadvantage of the Gen 8 is over the Gen 7?

You know, it is not compulsory to buy them. 😉😄
you guys will end up ditching that stupid seat post and going back to double triangle eventually
finally someone who cares about smaller riders
🤙🚴
🎉🎉🎉
Trek make great bikes, on par with the best in the world.
"There's only ONE the ultimate race bike" vs. "ONE bike to rule them all" 🤔

I love Trek Bikes... However, I have to be honest. I'm pretty disappointed with todays release.
they should have sticked with that E2 prototype instead.
Gen8 😢😢😢gen7❤
Trek and all the rest of the major bike company's are copying Specialized SL8, stop acting like your innovators
This is too heavy. Tarmac is far better in weight
Difference in frameset weight is 96g. It’s not that much imo
gen7❤❤❤gen8😅😅😅
