Trek Domane 6.9 Disc Compact Road Bike 2016

Trek Domane 6.9 Disc Compact Road Bike 2016

There is almost nothing missing from this Trek Domane 6.9 Disc Compact Road Bike 2016. You could not hope for a more complete bike adorned with the latest technologies. The phenomenal frame which combines speed with comfort is endowed with Shimano's top of the line Dura Ace 9070 Di2 electronic eleven speed groupset and complete with the all weather and all terrain dependable Shimano RS785 hydraulic disc brakes. There can be no question that this Domane 6.9 Disc 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. The all weather credentials are confirmed by the superb Shimano RS785 hydraulic disc brakes. These give you the best possible braking power and modulation in all weathers and no matter what the terrain.

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.

The addition of hydraulic disc brakes for this model does mean a slight step down for the Bontrager finishing kit. However, this is only to their Race X Lite range and you are still getting the vibration reducing Bontrager Race X Lite IsoZone carbon fibre handlebar that reduces road buzz by 20%. Finally, the Bontrager Affinity Elite Tubeless Ready wheels are light and responsive as well as being securely designed for the powers of disc brakes with through axles. These can be easily converted to quick release though should you want to change your wheels at a later date.
