Trek Domane 6.9 Compact Road Bike 2016

Trek Domane 6.9 Compact Road Bike 2016

There are no two ways about it, this Trek Domane 6.9 Compact Road Bike 2016 looks incredible! It also is incredible, packing in just about every feature available with all of Trek's best technologies and Shimano's unparalleled Dura Ace 9070 eleven speed Di2. There is no question that this Domane 6.9 falls into the category of super bikes.

A large proportion of this exceptional quality comes from the 600 Series OCLV Carbon fibre frame that is built to Trek's endurance geometry. This gives you more height in the front to relieve pressures on your lower back and shoulders, whilst also improving stability and control. As you would expect from a company with as many race wins as Trek, this is balanced with all the qualities to obliterate your opposition.

No matter what your cycling goals though, the Power Transfer Construction means you get the most out of every pedal stroke, allowing you to ride further faster. This is added to by the E2 head tube and BB90 bottom bracket. This is one of the widest on the market to deliver the best power transfer at the lowest weight.

The big selling point is the IsoSpeed technology in the frame allows the seat tube to rotate independently from the top-tube-to-seat stay junction, increasing vertical compliance to twice that of the nearest competitor, without compromising pedalling efficiency.

The IsoSpeed fork has a generous ride-tuned sweep with the shape increasing compliance for a smoother ride, and unique dropout placement optimising the wheelbase while an extra curve above the dropout in the swept-leg design creates a smaller angle to the direction of road vibrations. For this model, comfort is extended to the IsoZone handlebar with its pads reducing vibrations by 20% for exceptional control and comfort.

Trek have recognised how much you are going to love this bike and want to ride it everyday, and have therefore incorporated vanishing mudguard mounts so that bad weather need not stop you enjoying it. Now you can ride your dream bike all year round without having to save it.

As mentioned at the beginning, the Shimano Dura Ace 9070 Di2 groupset that is used here is without comparison in terms of shifting performance. Effortlessly light, beautifully fast and exquisitely accurate, there can only be love for how this exceptional groupset is seamlessly incorporated into the stunning frame using the performance internal cable routing to maintain the clean looks.

Trek's sister company Bontrager supplies some of its very best equipment in the form of the XXX Saddle and stem. These are complimented by the lightweight Race X Lite IsoZone handlebar, that provides a 20% reduction in road vibrations to further aid your enjoyment of riding this bike. Finally, the Bontrager Aeolus 3 D3 Tubeless Ready wheels are things of beauty. Fitting perfectly into the bikes stealth black colour scheme, but more importantly providing you with the aerodynamic edge to maintain and add to the staggering speed of the frame.
