TREK Madone SL 5 Gen 8 Road Bike in Hex Blue

Season:2025

Brand:Trek

Code:46218BLU

The Madone SL 5 Gen 8 is an aero road bike that combines elite racing technology with affordability. It mirrors the aerodynamic advantages of the more expensive Madone SLR Gen 8, but uses a more economical OCLV 500 Carbon lay-up and features a two-piece cockpit with hidden cable routing. Designed for racing, its geometry ensures quick sprints and controlled descents. A Shimano 105 groupset keeps costs down while providing reliable mechanical shifting.

Is This Bike for You? You seek a lightweight road race bike with high performance without the high price tag. Ideal for racing, club rides, or solo adventures, you want a bike that excels in both climbing efficiency and aerodynamics, and you appreciate cost-effective components that bring you closer to owning your dream bike.

Key Features and Highlights:

  • Frame: Ultra-light OCLV 500 Carbon with aero tubing and IsoFlow comfort technology.
  • Groupset: 2x12 Shimano 105 for precise mechanical shifting.
  • Wheels: Tubeless, reducing rolling resistance and fighting punctures.
  • Brakes: Hydraulic disc brakes for confident stopping power.
  • Revolutionary Aero Design: Full System Foil aero tube shapes enhance aerodynamics across the entire bike.
  • Lightweight Frame: The 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with new tube shaping helps you climb faster by reducing weight where it counts.
  • Reliable Shifting: Shimano 105 groupset offers dependable and budget-friendly shifting.
  • Race-focused Comfort: IsoFlow comfort technology helps you maintain strength over long rides without compromising on weight or aerodynamics.

Overall Impression: The Madone SL 5 Gen 8 delivers superbike performance at a more accessible price.

Sizing Information

How tall are you?

To measure your height, stand up straight, barefoot, with your back, heels, shoulders and head all touching a wall. While looking straight ahead, place a book or straight edge on your head and slowly push it against the wall. Your straight edge should be parallel with the floor. Mark the spot where the bottom of the book is touching the wall. The distance from the marked spot to the floor is your height.

What is your inside leg?

How to measure: Stand barefoot with your back straight and against a wall. Tuck a ruler or something that extends to the floor between your legs. Using both hands, and keeping it level, pull the ruler up into your crotch as if you were sitting on the saddle. Measure the distance from the top edge of the ruler to the ground to find your inside leg measurement. Your inside leg is very important to your final bike size so please measure carefully.
