Trek Madone SLR 9 Disc (2020)
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
I really like the R4 Classics. I haven't been using them for too long as I ran Conti GP5000 before but I was rather interested in trying the Bontrager tyres.
So far they've held up really nice. I live in Denmark and we have a lot of flint in the underground so usually it's not practical using race-specific tyres. So far I've done 1.783 kilometers on the Bontrager's and have only had one puncture (knock on wood) which was on a stretch of gravel.
The ride quality is amazing. They roll mazangly, have great grip and they're plush and comfortable. So far a really good tyre. Initially I was a bit worried about durability but even after almost 1.800 kilometers they seems to have at least the same amount left. But I don't think you'll get the same milage as the GP5000 or a similar tyre.
The tanwalls will become discolored and darker.

Nice bike! Mine is very similar, it's currently a Madone SLR 6, also red Project One, Pro saddle is the only deviation from original spec. 50cm so small and compact.
I'm also in the upgrade phase, lot to decide.

Saddle height is 73 centimeters from the center of the BB and following the seat tube.
Very close

Great looking bike! Saw one in person in my LBS and was amazed how good it looks
It's a standard Bontrager mount. Mine came with my bike in a bag full of different bits and pieces.
Here's a link to the mount on the Trek website: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equi ... Code=black

Yes I agree on the looks and paint. Trek has really upped the game in the last years. Unfortunately the Madone is heavy as an boat anchor. I would still like to testride one of them though. Just out of curiosity.
