I'm a bit underwhelmed by it.
Was hoping they would alter the geometry because even as "endurance" geometry it is way too upright for me. (Although admittedly everyone I've seen who actually owns this bike still seems to have a stack of spacers so must sell well).
Also thought in the ~4yrs since the first version they could find a way to drop even a little weight (even with the front isospeed).
I'm surprised there were no aero claims given the way modern bike marketing is going. Thought they would make at least some token aero efforts (and I'm sure Cancellara would have appreciated even the slightest aero benefits on the run in to the finish at flanders ).

Several websites just had unveiling articles posted today. I've been wondering about the actual mechanics of the front Isospeed, and neither BikeRadar nor Velonews have really taken a "look under the hood" yet, but I just spotted this CyclingTips article which actually has pics of whats going on with the head tube, more actual figures on compliance in the front end, and a ride report:

Sounds like you may want a Madone.

Yes, you are probably right.
I'm looking for something for those 8hour+ epic rides on mixed/rough roads +/- lots of climbing. But still want to go fast on it if I need to. Also was leaning towards disc brakes and thought this might be the bike for me.
I'll wait to take a look at the Canyon Ultimate Cf slx disc when it's released. Geometry suits me much better.

Have you watched the whole video? pretty well explained!

Sounds like you need a Cervelo S3
Went to the test ride event at Brickwell Farmingdale. There both my son and i got to ride the new Trek Domane SLR 6 with Ultegra disc brakes. We took them for a 2.5 mile ride to Bethpage and tested the 30mm tires on the grass, dirt and potholes on the way there and back.
Very nice. The brakes were impressive, but being a Sram Red rider, the Shimano shifters tossed me a curve.
I wish we came prepared with proper clothing, shoes and gloves.

The Domane SL appeared on the UCI approved frames list a while ago, and can now be found online along with a Domane S).
Interestingly, it appears to be available in a 'Pro' version. Unlike the SLR, both variants are listed with 500 series carbon and available in a wider range of sizes.

No details on geometry, however. From the description and images it looks like the SL doesn't have the adjustable rear ISOspeed (it does have front ISOspeed).
