Trek Domane SL 6 Gen 3 Disc Road Bike

Trek Domane SL 6 Gen 3 Disc Road Bike

The Trek Domane SL 6 Disc Road Bike pairs a fast, innovative frame with Shimano’s evergreen Ultegra groupset, making it ideally suited for year-round use on long rides and pockmarked roads. Add in an aerodynamic design with internal cabling and endurance-biased geometry and the Domane SL 6 is a hugely versatile option.

Key to the bike’s long-distance comfort is its front and rear IsoSpeed system that provides far more compliance than a carbon frame alone can provide whilst still retaining all the efficiency and stiffness required for good power transfer. IsoSpeed isolates the rider from road vibrations and bumps, reducing fatigue and improving control. Clearance for 38mm tyres gives the further potential for increased comfort, as do the tubeless-ready wheels and tyres. With a 25mm width, the Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25 wheels work well with a wide range of tyre sizes, so the bike can be raced one weekend with skinny tyres and then used more adventurously the next when fitted with fatter rubber.

Shimano’s 11-speed Ultegra groupset is the perfect pairing for this frame; the compact chainset and 11-34t cassette ensure that there are plenty of gears in hand for the steepest inclines without sacrificing flat land speed, and the stopping power of the hydraulic disc brakes adds extra confidence when descending in the wet.

As a final touch, there is even storage space in the downtube for a few tools and spares.
