Trek Madone 4.5 Road Bike 2014
Trek has a long and illustrious history producing high quality, race winning, performance framesets and bikes. Their latest incarnation, the Trek Madone 4.5 is part of the 4 Series range. Featuring a H2 geometry, a nice balance between an outright race position and a more relaxed one. The H2 geometry, makes it one of the most high versatile road bikes on the market. A high quality package featuring Shimano Ultegra and FSA components, as well as Bontrager finishing kit and wheels.
Used by many professional athletes as well as teams such as Trek Factory Racing and MTN Qhubeka, the Madone range are renowned for being lightweight, tough and offer and comfortable yet stiff ride.
400 Series OCLV carbon is the basis for the frame, lightweight with the Optimum Compaction Low Void manufacture process resulting in a very high quality finish to the frame.
Trek offer a range of geometries, the Madone 4.5 uses the H2 fit, providing a higher headtube for added comfort, yet still offering an aggressive and race-focused position. Many professional cyclists looking for outright race performance and all day comfort favour the H2 geometry.
The frameset features performance cable routing. This keeps the cables out of sight, enhancing aerodynamics, improving gear shifting and brake performance, whilst allowing easy access to install and maintain cables.
What really makes the Madone 4.5 Road Bike stand out from others is the brakeless seatstays, reducing weight and creating a more aerodynamic profile.
This is one fast bike, made even quicker with the headtube designed using KVF, Kammtail Virtual Foil shaping. This technology has also been used in the fork.
KVF has been extensively developed so it bends in response to the angle of the typical crosswind, this allows the frame to slice through and be more stable in strong winds.
The added aerodynamic legs, on the fork, minimises drag and results in a very light and laterally stiff set of forks, perfect for pin sharp handling.
E2 asymmetric design on the headtube and fork dampens road vibrations and increases lateral stiffness, resulting in direct power transfer.
A fantastic package, Trek has included Bontrager handlebars, stem and a carbon fibre seatpost, for added comfort and a lightweight setup.
Bontrager Race Tubeless Ready wheels offer bulletproof reliability, roll incredibly well and are lightweight. Grip and durability is catered for with Bontrager R2 Hard-Case Lite tyres.
Shimano Ultegra is one of Shimano’s top road groupsets. The latest 11-speed system provides seamless, smooth and rapid shifting and durability.
An FSA Gossamer compact crankset has been added, providing the rider with plenty of options whether climbing a mountain or getting pushed along by a huge tailwind.
The BB90 bottom bracket system is the widest available on a road bike and provides a light and stiff basis for ultimate power transfer to the pedals.
Finishing touches include a 3S integrated chain keeper and DuoTrap compatibility. This innovative computer system provides aerodynamic, discrete and reliable speed, distance and cadence readings when paired up to an ANT enabled device.
Available in a range of sizes and an eye-catching placid blue and crystal white colour scheme.
