I have now managed to weigh my Madone. As the hardware was not optimal (it came with a +/- 100 gram disclaimer), the weight should be considered indicative only.

That being said, I repeated the exercise 12 times and half of the times the weight was 7.6 kilos and the other times 7.7 kilos.

The weight included Dura Ace pedals, Garmin mount, bottle cages and a Bontrager umbraco key that I have not been able to remove from the rear wheel.

My initial thinking is that this matches the weight numbers communicated by Trek pretty well given (i) the RSl 62 wheels come with a slide weight penalty over the RSL 51 wheels and (ii) the Trek Segafredo team issue paint job probably being on the slightly heavier side.

I like the transition handlebar to shifters.
The side view of the seatpost and magic hole is kind of killing the looks. Strangely i think the red and white frameset looks better.

Ax Lightness Vial EVO Race (2019.01.03)
Open *UP* (2016.04.14)
Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)


Ex bike; Vial EVO D, Vial EVO Ultra, Scott Foil, Paduano ti bike.

Nice bike and been interested from day one but just happened to see the pricing on the new Madone.

TREK Madone SLR 6 Gen 7 costs 8299.- EUR and that is with 105 Di2 groupset (list price).
As a comparison, new Scott Foil with Ultegra Di2 is 6599.- EUR (list price).
I would say TREK has a bit better handlebar and wheels but over 8 grand with "just" 105 groupset is darn expensive.

The madone is the top of the line SLR frame. The Scott Foil your looking at not the SL frame, just the HMX.

I’m very curious to see what they will charge for the SL model that I hope gets released this year.

Two Madone SLRs on today’s lunchtime chaingang ride. The only other MY23 aero bike on our rides is the Cervelo S5. No Propels, no Foils, no Oltre RCs, Orca Aeros, etc. Sometimes the best bikes are the ones that you can actually get a hold of.

Had a chat with YouTuber RidesofJapan who did a series in a 6.4kg emonda

Bought super light thru axels
Galfer Wave rotors
3D printed bar end caps (1.4g each )
Direct mount derailleur hanger

Should shave off 90 grams and get me to 16lb , 7.2kg with cages
