Trek Madone RSL H1 Road Bike 2016

Trek Madone RSL H1 Road Bike 2016

Before his crash, Fabian Cancellara was looking in fine form at the 216 Tour de France aboard his Trek Madone RSL H1 Road Bike 2016, even taking the yellow jersey. Fortunately, you too can now get your hands on this pioneering machine that has given new meaning to the term super-bike.

The bike was developed with help from the Trek Factory Race Team and by spending a lot of time in the wind tunnel. The result is a bike that does not excel in just one area, but a bike that seamlessly blends ride quality with power and aerodynamics as well as integration and ride quality to produce a rider tuned and balanced bike. This is the least you would expect from a bike handmade in the USA from Trek's highest quality 700 OCLV carbon fibre.

There is not a more complete and race ready bike out there, coming straight out of the box with Shimano's exceptional Dura-Ace Di2 electronic eleven speed groupset. Even the wheelset is of the highest quality thanks to the Bontrager Aeolus 5 D3 Tubeless Ready set that top off this fantastic package.

Upgrades from the Madone 9.9:

• Identical bicycle to that used by Trek Factory Racing
• 700 Series OCLV carbon frame
• Constructed by hand in the USA
• H1 geometry

700 Series OCLV Carbon fibre makes up the body of the frame itself and is of the highest quality available. This advanced aerospace material not only saves weight, it also elicits a ground-breaking level of balance and stiffness so you can trust the bike in every situation on the road.

Looking to fully maximise aerodynamics within the UCI's regulations, the Madone 9 Series Frameset features an unprecedented level of integration with internal cable routing and an integrated front brake. The brake in enclosed in the Vector Wing, which obfuscates the cabling for the best possible wind tunnel readings.

On the top of the top tube the integrated control centre houses the barrel adjusters or battery ports for an electronic drive train. The positioning of the control centre means it is easily accessible while also tucked away for the best possible aerodynamics.

Trek have also redesigned the seat mast for an even greater level of adjustment and comfort. The system is ultra-lightweight and aero and allows you to adjust the seatpost hight millimetre by millimetre for a precise and efficient level of accuracy. The IsoSpeed decoupler boosts vertical compliance in the seat tube enhances comfort while also maximising the amount of power you can generate through the pedals without vertical flex.

Other exquisitely designed features include the Aero 3S chain keeper, which contributes to flawless shifting performance without the threat of a dropped chain off the inside ring. The Madone 9 Series is DuoTrap S compatible and has precision water bottle mounts that offset drag.

Trek have continued their close working relationship with Bontrager to kit this superb bike out in appropriately high quality gear. The Paradigm XXX saddle features carbon rails to save weight and improve comfort.

Unlike Madones of the past though, Trek have produced their own micro-adjust carbon seatpost and XXX integrated bar and stem for added aerodynamics and stiffness. Thankfully these come with their own specifically designed computer and light mounts.
