TREK MADONE - Everything Else is History - Monday 4th June, 2007.

In the all-new Madone, Trek Bicycle has taken its quest for perfection to new levels. Charged with creating the world’s finest all-day performance bike, an army of engineers, designers, physicists, chemists, carbon producers, bike shop owners, project managers and riders spent the past two years elevating the Trek Madone bike from elite racing cycle to the consummate performance experience. The result of their efforts is an exquisitely balanced machine that delivers a transcendental riding experience.

The road to Madone

The new Trek Madone represents the largest design project Trek has undertaken on any bike, at any time. It was born from the expertise of seven consecutive Tour de France victories, more than 15 years of OCLV Carbon engineering experience and the input of Lance Armstrong and other world-class riders. The Madone underwent hours of FEA analysis, exhaustive real-world ride testing and 30 different lay-up schedules as Trek engineers fine-tuned every detail of this ultimate riding machine.

Trek's OCLV Carbon Line-up

OCLV Carbon is synonymous with unmatched ride quality. Long the Carbon market leader, Trek continues to outpace the competition with entirely new proprietary processes and patented fiber technology that combine to deliver an extraordinarily light and strong ride. The Trek Madone is available in three different OCLV frames:

OCLV Red features the highest performing carbon fibre arranged according to the most complex lay-up schedules.
OCLV Black employs intermediate modulus carbon fibre and sophisticated lay-up schedules.
OCLV White uses predominantly standard modulus carbon fibre and delivers an outstanding value.

Pick your Trek bike fit

In a radical departure from the conventional thinking – that a performance-oriented bike demands an aggressive fit – Madone offers a trio of fit options without sacrificing Pro-Tour proven geometry.

Pro Fit is the racer’s choice and uses the same aggressive fit as the original Madone
Performance Fit features a 30mm taller head tube that provides a slightly higher hand position.
WSD Fit is designed specifically to address a woman’s body structure without compromising performance.
