Frame/Fork: Quality products for the low price

The big talking point here for Trek is the ISOspeed decoupler. Essentially the seat tube isn't welded to the top tube/seat stay junction. The IsoSpeed itself consists of a bearing on either side, with a bushing forming the mechanical attachment between the top and seat tubes; this allows the whole length of the seat tube to flex under load. The initial, industry-standard 'lean on it to see what happens' test revealed a fair amount of flex in the frame - even in aluminium form, a material often known for building into frames that are a bit stiffer than carbon fibre equivalents.

On the road the compliance arising from that flex was noticeable - sometimes. I found that the frame's small bump sensitivity was not much different from other sportive or comfort bikes. However, when the going got even rougher - like on big potholes or really rough unpaved tracks akin to the cobbles of Flanders and Roubaix - the frame came into its own a bit more, softening the big hits.

The head tube is long at 17.5cm (I measured 17.3), and as such I found myself slamming the stem right down to the (quite tall) headset cap get my usual position (admittedly I run quite a racy position normally). Having said that, I have seen much longer head tubes on other endurance bikes too - Cervelo bikes spring to mind.

Build quality on this frame is excellent. The welds are all reasonably subtle, and there are both mudguard and rack mounts - a big plus for me, as I don't do riding on turbos throughout the rainy months, opting for the great outdoors instead. Similarly I was happy to find that the frame took 28mm tyres with a good few mm of room to spare. More on tyres in a minute.

Press fit bottom brackets are becoming more and more prevalent on lower end bikes. You can make arguments for and against them. I tend to fall on the side of preferring threaded bottom brackets for ease of removal and maintenance, especially as the stiffness benefits of a press fit bottom bracket were not really all that tangible to me on a bike like this. However the cranks span flawlessly and there was no dreaded press fit creak to be heard.

Other than that I found the frame to be more than adequate. I can't say I stripped the bike down to get an actual weight of the bare frame, but it seemed pretty reasonable while out on the road. The paint finish was top notch - it ooked like I was riding a more expensive bike than I actually was.

The Domane 2.0 fork is carbon, with an aluminium steerer. The fork is also an IsoSpeed product aiming to isolate road vibration, which manifests in the fork legs curving rather gracefully over the dropouts. The fork design works, but doesn't provide the same level of compliance as the rear end because the decoupler is a much more effective engineering solution. That led to a rather odd ride over certain road surfaces: there would be a lot of buzz through my hands, and then much less through the saddle. This is a minor point though, and I all but stopped noticing the difference as I became more accustomed to the bike. A way to compensate for this would be to run slightly less pressure than normal in the front tyre than the rear, or just fit plusher bar tape.

Build: Good value but a couple of changes needed.

The Domane 2.0 is supplied with 25mm Bontrager R1 tyres. At first glance, on dry roads they seem like a decent idea. But at the first hint of rain or greasy roads, I didn't feel comfortable leaning the bike over in fast corners at all and found that the wheels would lock up rather too quickly for my liking. I did start to get used to them as I rode the bike more, but I was never fully at ease. Swtiching out to 28mm Continental Gatorskins - which aren't even the most supple of tyres - I was immediately more confident to really attack the descents.

The wheels are unbranded hubs laced to 'Bontrager-approved' rims with 24 spokes both front and rear. Unsurprisingly these wheels were no featherweights, but they performed perfectly well and weren't horrendously draggy on the climbs. The wheels also stayed true throughout the test, despite my best pothole and bridleway clattering, which was a bonus.

The unbranded alloy dual pivot brakes supplied were actually surprisingly powerful and had reasonable modulation. When combined with better tyres than those supplied, braking power was really excellent for the bike.

Trek supply the Domane 2.0 with a Shimano Tiagra group set. The group comes with a 50/39/30 triple up front and 12-30 10 speed cassette out back. Personally I'm not a fan of a triple - I've never run out of gears on a compact/28 cassette combo before - but with this combination I'd back myself to ride up a brick wall (provided enough science was ignored) and it complemented the considerable weight of the bike well. The cadence I could produce was epic, even on gradients of 20% or more. This is a big plus for those who might be just starting out in the world of cycling, or are looking to do some seriously tough and hilly days. It also meant I could do some sweet sweet wheelies up my local commute climb.

Out of the box I found that both derailleurs required a couple of barrel adjuster twiddles to really be sharp, but other than that the Tiagra performed excellently. I have a gripe with the Tiagra shifter hoods though. They are very big and even my average to large sized hands struggled when braking from the hoods. Shimanos 105 hoods are considerably more ergonomic in my eyes, and also do away with the 'washing line' gear cables coming out of the sides. That's purely an aesthetic factor though: my main problem is the ergonomics, or lack thereof.

The supplied bars - again 'Bontrager approved' - are 42cm wide. I ride 40cm bars on all my other bikes (that are 56cm, as with the bike on test) and the 2cm difference was noticeable. In my opinion the bike would have suited 40cm bars far better.

The Bontrager Affinity 1 saddle was rather good, sat atop the seat post that was another heavy but solid 'Bontrager approved' product. For longer rides I would personally have switched the saddle out for something that suits me better, but that sort of decision is always a very personal thing.

Ride: Comfy yet still responsive.

On the flat I found the Domane's weight to be unsurprisingly tough to accelerate up to speed, but the bike cruised well once you got it there. While climbing, again the hefty wheels held the bike back a bit, but it was comfortable both in and out of the saddle, and the triple chainset meant that I could scale any and all Tarmac grades I could find.

When pointed down the hill and getting into the drops (and with different tyres) the Trek was stable and surefooted. I had the bike up to almost 90kph down some of Bath's steeper declines and found I could bank the bike over in hard and fast corners with no hair-raising moments. The steering was reasonably responsive, potentially siding on the slow, rather than the twitchy side. But this was no problem for me and I really enjoyed hammering descents on it by the end of the test. This bike was never aimed to be a racer, but thankfully Trek have managed to marry the expected comfortable 'endurance' position for this bike with a lively steering response.

As pointed out before, at first the ride was slightly odd between front and rear wheel in terms of differing levels of road buzz, but overall I found it to be comfortable and never overly flexy. That's as close as I dare get to the dreaded 'compliance/stiffness' cliche.

At the £900 mark, Trek have provided a frame and fork that is fully primed for some long term upgrades. If the bike were my own, my first priority would be to change the shifters and swap out the triple for a compact crankset. Upgrading these parts would cost more than the 200 jump up to the next bike in the range (the 2.3) but at the same time you are now out of the magic £1000 cycle to work scheme price point. So it's sort of swings and roundabouts really. Either way you are getting a top frame and fork for 900 quid, with perfectly functioning gears and excellent scope to upgrade in the future.

Comfortable and entertaining entry-to-mid-level bike, with excellent scope to upgrade in the future; change the tyres though

Frame and fork

Tell us about the build quality and finish of the frame and fork?

Excellent build quality and finish here. In my opinion, with different parts hung off it, the bike could easily be passed off as a seriously expensive machine.

Tell us about the materials used in the frame and fork?

Aluminium Frame, with ISOspeed decoupler.

Carbon Fork (Aluminium Steerer)

Tell us about the geometry of the frame and fork?

The 56cm frame provided for test has:

71.9 ° Head angle

17.5cm Head tube length

73.3 ° Seat tube angle

55.4cm Effective top tube length

52.5cm Actual Seat tube length

100.8cm Wheelbase

These numbers all added up to a bike that I was at ease on very quickly.

How was the bike in terms of height and reach? How did it compare to other bikes of the same stated size?

Height and reach were both more "conservative" as you would expect from a bike aimed at endurance riding/racing. It was similar to most other bikes I've ridden in this category.

Riding the bike

Was the bike comfortable to ride? Tell us how you felt about the ride quality.

Yes, mostly comfortable. The decoupler isn't a complete game changer but it does cushion the big hits through the back wheel well.

The fork provides some compliance but it's not quite in the same league as the rear, leading to a bit of a difference between front and rear buzz over certain road surfaces.

Did the bike feel stiff in the right places? Did any part of the bike feel too stiff or too flexible?

No problems with stiffness, or lack thereof. I didn't have my marginal gains hat on for a bike like this but nonetheless it performed well.

How did the bike transfer power? Did it feel efficient?

It felt good - a bit sluggish compared to more expensive bikes but that's to be expected. For the price point it was great.

How would you describe the steering? Was it lively, neutral or unresponsive? Neutral - a smidge on the slow side. Not an issue at all though!

Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's comfort? would you recommend any changes?

Narrower 40cm bars would have suited the 56cm frame much better - or at least my taste and fit preference.

The Tiagra shifters - while excellent at changing gear - were massive and actually hindered me when attempting to brake from the hoods.

Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's efficiency? would you recommend any changes?

I don't know if it really falls under efficiency - but the tyres had to go. They were woeful in the wet and made the bike feel more than a bit sketchy.

Hit some of my fastest ever speeds on this bike (89kph to be exact!) and the bike felt great.

With better tyres on it was really very surefooted.

The weight was always going to be a bit of a drag, but the triple helped out and it was comfortable to winch up a hill.

The drivetrain

The barrel adjusters needed a quick tune, and from then on the gears were excellent.

A triple and a 12-30 cassette, Tiagra throughout. No surprises here that it was hefty.

Bottom level drivetrain, works almost as well as any top end group. I love trickle-down tech.

Tell us some more about the drivetrain. Anything you particularly did or didn't like? Any components which didn't work well together?

I was not a fan of the shifters at all as they didn't feel good in my hands at all.

I'm not a triple man generally, but in this case it did help offset the weight of the bike a bit. Plus I think it suits the target market well.

Wheels and tyres

Wheels - OK. Tyres - dire

No worries here.

Heavy. Unsurprisingly.

Wheels were fine.

Cheap, but they worked well for what they were. And were expected for a bike of this price.

Tell us some more about the wheels and tyres.Did they work well in the conditions you encountered? Would you change the wheels or tyres? If so, what for?

I would (and did) change the tyres instantly. I went for 28mm Continental Gatorskins as that is what I had to hand, but any 28s would do to increase comfort and cornering grip.

Unbranded - Heavy.

The bars annoyed me and the saddle wasnt great for long (100km plus) rides.

Tell us some more about the controls. Any particularly good or bad components? How would the controls work for larger or smaller riders?

I would swap out the bars for 40cm ones as it felt a bit wrong. I'd hope the next size down has 40cm bars or it would feel very odd indeed. In time I would personally change the saddle too.

Your summary

Did you enjoy riding the bike? With different tyres, yes

Would you consider buying the bike? If I were in the market for this kind of bike I would.

Would you recommend the bike to a friend? Yes.

How might this compare - for comfort - to a vintage steel racer?

Hi there, Markus. While steel is real, and still the stuff of legend, it's not going to be as compliant simply by nature of the fact that it doesn't have a decoupler. It's that particular piece of tech that separates the Domane from pretty much anything else out there.

The proof is in the pudding though, and anything else I might say will make me sound like a typical marketing shill. A test ride on one, ideally immediately after riding a different bike on the same stretch, will really be all you need to understand the effects of the decoupler.

Last year, I bought a Trek Madone 2.1 which had Bontrager R1s on (700 x 23c). A month into my proud new ownership, I'm riding downhill at approx 20mph in north Wales. The road was wet as I braked approaching a mini roundabout. The tyres did just what you described. I came off, blacked out, and ended up in an ambulance with road rash. Thankfully, the Trek got off with very minor damage. The tyres were binned as soon as I got home though.

Trek dealers should be made to pull them straight away.

Good to know about the R1 tyres. I'm picking up a new Madone 2.1 in a couple of weeks - I will be sure to change them out and sell the tyres on as quickly as I can!

Agree they are fairly horrific and shouldn't appear on the bikes in future. They were the only thing I felt I absolutely had to change on my 2013 Domane 2.0, other than that it is/was a cracking ride.

Smooth ride

Saddle White bar tape Heavy wheels

The ride is very smooth through the saddle, but a lot is transmitted through the handlebars. The bike is very stable on downhills up to my max of 44 mph. Upgraded the cassette and chain to Ultegra and shifting the rear became much smoother; cheapest maintenance change to do when your chain is worn. Upgraded the wheels to Dura Ace and lost about 1.25#; climbing instantly became better. Next upgrade is carbon handlebars 46cm and hopefully I'll get less road transmission into my arms. The dirty white bar tape will go away. The saddle was replaced early on with a Brooks. I average about 200 miles per week and do a significant amount of moderate climbing. So far there is about 7000 miles on the bike and I really enjoy it. I didn't give it a 5 overall because there is always something better out there, but this is the bike I'll be riding for a few more years at least. One of my better purchases. I recommend this for anyone looking for nimble, comfortable ride. Probably not for a racer, because lighter models are available.

Similar Products Used:

No longer care if there is chip seal. Smooth ride for your butt. Good component set.

Race light wheel spokes do not hold up. Remember you are isolated from a lot of the impacts the bike is absorbing. Hands and feet still vibrate. Section of road with caterpillar track damage hurts my feet but the vibrations don't get to my seat. White bar tape immediately looks dirty. Bontrager seat is not comfortable. 4 series carbon not so light. Notice seat movement with cadence over 105. (but smoothed out stroke, originally noticed movement over 90 cadence). Carbon bike: SKS raceblade fender mounts mar the surface finish. I need to get the Trek fender mount accessory pieces.

Smoooooth! Good commuter and distance ride. Bet you will change out wheels and seat. Reliable and takes a beating so you don't.

Very stiff, very smooth, great handling. 6800 ultegra group is brilliant. Wheels feel excellent, stiff durable and smooth. Spokes are standard dt which will make replacements cheap and easy to source.

Seat hurt me, but others may like it...not a deal breaker.

2014 Trek Domane - I've been riding and racing for about 15 years, have owned 1 custom steel, 2 aluminum, 1 carbon and a scandium alloy bikes. This is a huge step up! The marketing jargon is true, the bottom bracket is as stiff as any bike I've ridden. However the isospeed REALLY works, I was even pedalling seated across stock grids! It handles great, and all (except stock saddle) the bits feel spot on. Oh and it looks great. It's actually a really nice pearlecent white which you can't see on the website. I test rode giant defy advanced, cannondale synapse, specialized roubaix. All the others were good, but this was the best, I don't want to change anything other than the seat. This was also the cheapest. Oh yeah I'm not little either with a fighting weight of 90 kg if it can be this good for me, I reckon it's pretty darn good. Highly recommend it.

Those little nuts on the presta stems Reflectors Air in tires

This is a great bike. I like riding it.

Ultegra/105 components, superior seat vibration relief, light and stiff frame, metallic paint scheme.

None so far after 500 miles

Great mix of Ultegra and 105 components for this price range. The standout though is the Iso Speed decoupling, its no gimmick and definitely smooths out road chatter and bumps from uneven pavement. Its not a miracle cure and your hands still get rattled up on rough pavement but coming from a Synapse using the same saddle, there is a HUGE difference in what you feel transmit to your seat. The frame is beefy and offers great comfort for up to 63 miles, my longest since owning it, with just slight discomfort which I know my upcoming fitting will remedy. The frame has a BB90 bottom bracket, hidden fender bolts, a chain dropping prevention device (I've dropped mine 3 times, LBS says it needs adjusting) and will take 28mm tires which is my next upgrade and has been highly recommended. The other Bontrager RL components seem like good pieces so far.

Trek 2014 Models

Trek has launched its 2014 series road bikes. The most remarkable improvement in the new Trek road bikes is the strong specs on the entry-level 1 Series. Now all Trek 1 series frames have a carbon fork, including the 1.1. There are also improvements across the Madone and Domane lines, i.e. the frames of the Madone 4 Series are aero now.

Trek has announced that, from now on, they won’t do annual updates, instead they’ll release bikes as soon as they are developed and produced. They called this “Apple approach”: Trek UK marketing manager Chris Garrison said that “We are taking more of the Apple approach. When the iPhone 5 is ready, it’s ready, and it goes on sale. But you can still buy an iPhone 4 if that’s your thing.”

Trek 2014 collection: Race Performance Series

Madone 7 series.

Madone 7 is the highest level road bike that Trek produces, hand-built from OCLV Carbon in Waterloo, Wisconsin, USA. The Madone 7 Team edition, pictured above, has been used by the UCI Pro team RadioShack-Leopard at the Tour de France 2013 and took a stage win with Jan Bakelants.

It is equipped with Shimano Dura-Ace 9070 Di2 11-speed drivetrain, Bontrager Aeolus 5 clincher wheels with Bontrager R4 Black tires. Madone 7 is coming with 10 different builds, but the specifications, like all Trek models, are highly customizable, you can build your own bike at the Trek cycles website.

The US price of the Trek Madone 7 2014 Team edition is $12,421.48 (on the Trek US page).

Madone 6 Series

Madone 6 is also hand-built from OCLV Carbon in Waterloo, Wisconsin, USA. You can choose H1 or H2 geometry. The biggest difference is in the length of the head tube. With the H1 fit, it’s 16cm on a 58cm frame; with the H2 fit, it’s 19cm. In H2 geometry, the top tube is also a bit shorter and just a touch steeper head angle. That means your ride position is a little more upright to take the strain off your back and neck, without the need to use a stack of flexing spacers. The H2 setup is still performance-orientated, but it’s a bit more relaxed.

The Madone 6.2, pictured above, is coming with Ultegra 6800 groupset, Bontrager Race Light TLR wheels with Bontrager R3 Black tires. The price of this build is $4,897.19 (on Trek US page). 8 different builds are available.

Domane 6 Series

Domane is the endurance bike that Trek produces. It is specifically designed for the cobbled classics in Europe. Fabian Cancellara of RadioShack-Leopard won both Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris Roubaix in 2013 riding a Trek Madone.

Trek 1 series

The frame of the Trek 1 Series is made from Trek’s 100 Series Alpha Aluminium, but it has been redesigned. The down tube now comes with a curved leading edge and a truncated tail. It’s a chopped-off square at the back in a similar way to the KVF tubing that Trek use on their Madone and Speed Concept bikes. Three different 1 series are available: 1.5 (pictured above, US price is $1,349.99), 1.2 (US price is $999.99) and 1.1 (US price is $799.99).

Specifications of the new Trek 1.5 are 100 Series Alpha Aluminum frame with a carbon fork, Shimano Tiagra 10-speed drivetrain with FSA Vero 50/34 (compact) crankset, Bontrager Approved alloy rims with Bontrager R1 Hard-Case Lite 700x23c tires.

Trek 1.1 is the cheapest road bike that Trek produces. 100 Series Alpha Aluminum frame with an aluminum fork, Shimano 2300 8-speed drivetrain with Vuelta Corsa, 50/34 (compact) crankset, Bontrager Approved alloy rims, and Bontrager T1 700x23c tires. Only $799.99 in the US.

How about adding the Orbea Avant to the list. I paid $3299 for an Ultegra disc equipped bike last year. Fantastic bike. Thanks Jason.  

Am I the only one who thinks the Domane rear end is scary in a bumpy turn? I feel it in the front in my hands, but the rear feels like I'm skidding because there's very little feedback.

A carbon frame endurance bike with mid-range components and rim brakes.

Based on frame geometry and build specs.

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

With Classics season upon us, let’s take a look back at the high-tech bike that Spartacus rode in his final race season, with rim brakes and mechanical shifting

A bike that’s comfortable and forgiving, but stiff and powerful in all the right places. Buy if you want an exceptionally smooth and comfortable ride, but aren’t willing to sacrifice speed or control for the privilege

IsoSpeed and big 32mm tyres really smooth out the road, exceptionally comfortable, excellent climber, built-in ANT and Bluetooth sensor

A fraction heavier than some competitors, but still a better climber

The Trek Domane SL7 endurance road bike comes in a wide variety of specs, prices and with disc or rim brakes. But the real selling point is the IsoSpeed decouplers front and rear that reduce bumps and impact forces to improve long distance cycling comfort.

The Trek Domane 4.3 Disc is the future, and it only takes one ride for you to realise it

Geometry is perfect

It is not a lightweight set up and will quickly be superseded

"Trek’s best road bike gets faster, lighter, quicker, and better"

"When you get on a bike that is fast, quick, and communicative but also floats and coddles the rider like a newborn baby, well, that is a special bike. And that is what the new Domane is: Special. A great bike made better. A bike for the modern road rider: Freaking fast, wonderfully comfortable, and oh so practical."

"The original racer, yet massively versatile"

"The ride is simply sublime. Its balance between smooth, vibration-eliminating comfort, sharp handling, and out-and-out speed combines with an ability to get off the beaten track."

"Smooth operator"

"The level of smoothness on the Domane continues to impress, creating an experience akin to being chauffered around in a luxury sedan. It absorbs all road vibrations, operates quietly, and accelerates on flats deceptively quickly…I'll be in for a rude awakening after returning to a road bike without IsoSpeed."

"Fast on all terrain"

"I took the Domane on my local gravel and some select chunky bits to see how it would fare. The most notable transition from road to gravel was the sense of ease. Usually, when you roll from tarmac to stones, the bike can feel skittish and nervous (rider or bike). The Domane feels stable, and instead of holding your breath, you breathe out."
