Description
Trek Madone SL 6 Gen 8
The Trek Madone SL 6 Gen 8 delivers the speed, aerodynamics, and performance of a pure race bike—at a price that makes elite technology more accessible. Built from OCLV 500 Carbon, this latest-generation Madone brings the same aerodynamic silhouette and handling as its top-tier sibling, but with a more cost-effective lay-up that still keeps weight incredibly low.
Equipped with Shimano 105 Di2, you get crisp, reliable, and fully electronic shifting that responds instantly, whether you’re powering up climbs or sprinting for the line. The bike is finished with carbon wheels to reduce rotational weight and boost responsiveness, helping you accelerate quicker and hold speed with less effort.
The Madone SL 6 Gen 8 isn’t just about going fast—it’s about feeling fast. The refined road race geometry and aerodynamic tube shaping allow you to slice through the air, while the balanced design keeps the bike comfortable on long, high-paced days. Alloy handlebars keep the build value-driven without sacrificing control or feel on the road.
In the sleek Gloss Dark Star / Matte Deep Smoke finish, this bike looks every bit as sharp as it rides. If you're searching for a high-performance aero road bike that blends efficiency, speed, and modern tech, the Madone SL 6 Gen 8 is built to keep you at the front of the pack.

Sizing
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.
