“Different” new Madone (2023)

[C36]

So we'll see plenty of smaller Madones in Le Tour Femmes.

Is this 54? Or 52?

That is definitely a 52cm. Doubt we’ll see a 54cm at the TdF Femmes. Ellen van Dijk rides a 58cm. Tayler Wiles, who isn’t on the startlist, rides a 54cm.

Audrey must be on a 52, she is 170 tall.

If this is a 52cm frame I'll place an order once Project One is started. Definitely looks better than the previous gens, though we'll have a more trouble with long bottles.

If a 52 looks like that I can't imagine what a 50/47 will look like. Seems the hole will be completely covered by a 26 or even 22oz bottle. Eve if you don't have a bottle it'll be venting directly onto the rear wheel instead of over it which can't be the design intent and will likley be slower...

I want to see a 47/50 I imagine the hole will be super far down and venting into a entirely different area than the 56. That can't be as aero as the 56 everything was likley designed around.

Also 26oz bottles are gonna be either a tight fit or cover most of the hole

Has anyone received more concrete information about frame, fork, and seatpost weights?

Size 56, Quicksilver:
Handlebar = 335g
Fork = 472g
Seatpost = 182g
Frame = 1133g
Total = 2122g

Looks like lighter than gen 6 frameset

Hmm. Weight is wayyy over what they claimed. Trek product team claimed the frame was sub 1000g and the fork about 400g. Trek support told me the same plus that the 42x100 handlebar was 295g.

Either that silver paint is ridiculously thick and heavy, or the weights Trek was claiming initially simply aren't accurate.

Trek claimed weight on their website:
Dura ace, size 54 = 7.1kg (Aeolus rsl 51=1410g, saddle=142g)
Ultegra, size 56 = 7.48kg (Aeolus pro 51=1590g, saddle=219g)

Weight differences:
Whole bike = 380g
wheelsets = 180g
Saddle = 77g
It means the remaining difference is (380 - 180 - 77 = 123g)
The groupset weight difference between dura-ace vs ultegra certainly more than 123g.
In this case, I think the claimed weight from Trek might not be accurate.

I think the only one who might be on a 50cm would be Leah Thomas. To this day I have never seen a outgoing gen 47cm Madone SLR even though they supposedly exist.

Looks like the recalled bar instead of the new Madone one?

[C36]

That’s still quite a nice looking bike in small sizes (need to confirm but looks like a 52). Really looking for Tour tests.

It's a 52.

Does anyone know when the embargo on orders is being lifted? I tried ordering one but couldn't because there is still an embargo on orders in place...

Not sure about any embargo, but backorder dates on a few models are down to ~130 days (from 300 days.)

I dont think its an embargo as such, but Trek has previously annouced that Project One orders will be available from "Autumn 2022"
Not sure how that effects orders of "off the floor" bikes from dealers

[TobinHatesYou]

Yeah, now that I remember...

Some Madone SLR 9 level bikes are coming in later this month.
A customer did order a complete bike at the local shop, expected delivery was November.

[johnsonmoog]

I have an order in (here in the UK), for a 54cm SL7 with Ultegra and that's suposedly due around now. But we shall see!

Bike build, enjoy !
