Trek Madone SL 6 AXS Gen 8 Road Bike 2025 in Matte Dark Web

The Madone SL 6 AXS Gen 8 is a lightweight aero road bike that brings elite racing tech to a lower price point. It offers similar aero benefits to the pricier Madone SLR Gen 8, but with a more economical OCLV 500 Carbon lay-up and two-piece cockpit with hidden cable routing. It’s built to race with geometry that keeps you quick on the sprints yet in control on fast descents. For clean shifts that are fully customisable, it’s decked out with SRAM’s Rival AXS electronic group set, topped off with carbon wheels for extra lightweight performance.

You want a featherweight road race bike without top-end race pricing. You’re up for racing, club rides or solo spins up winding canyons, and don’t want to compromise between climbing efficiency and aerodynamics. Plus, you get the wireless performance of SRAM’s Rival AXS group set.

An ultra-light OCLV 500 Carbon frame with aero tubing and lightweight IsoFlow comfort tech. A 2×12 SRAM Rival AXS wireless electronic group set for clean shifts under pressure. Plus, it’s topped off with Bontrager Aeolus Elite 35 tubeless carbon wheels.
