Trek Domane SL 5 Disc Road Bike 2018
Each and every aspect of the Trek Domane SL 5 Road Bike 2018 has been developed to increase comfort, speed and performance over both long distances and rougher surfaces. The 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame and fork are supremely lightweight, but don’t skip out on durability for day-in, day-out riding and conquering the roads less travelled.
Front and rear IsoSpeed technology has been included to further this comfort, allowing the fork and seatpost to move independently of the frame, without affecting efficiency over longer distances. In fact, it has been noted that riders feel fresher after long rides, allowing them to go further thanks to this supreme comfort.
A BB90 bottom bracket comes as standard on Trek Domane’s at this level, and this bottom bracket is renowned for its stiffness, rigidity and power transfer. The E2 tapered head tube completes the base componentry ensemble, ensuring that when you’re sprinting out the saddle and laying down the power, there’s no flex or loss of energy.
Shimano 105 5800, 11-speed has been recruited for reliable, precise shifting, and its wide range of gearing and an 11-28t cassette ensures you don’t run out of spin when tackling the harshest of climbs.
Of course, the integration with Shimano’s RS505 hydraulic disc brakes gives extra versatility in questionable conditions, and even through torrential rain, they perform efficiently and predictably.
Improving speed and traction by the means of a tubeless ready construction, the Bontrager Disc rims and Bontrager R1 Hard-Case Lite 32mm clincher tyres perform beautifully together and allow you to head out the door in utmost confidence of your kit. The rims are lightweight, strong, and further this bike's durability over rougher ground, whilst the tyres are ready to take on the cobbles without falter.
