Trek Madone SL 6 dark star: fast over long distances

The Trek Madone SL 6 Gen 8 combines the aerodynamics of a race bike, the comfort of IsoFlow and electronic Shimano 105 Di2 2x12, with Aeolus Elite 50 carbon wheels, for 8.16 kg in size ML. A bike designed to eat up the miles, fast and for a long time. The Gloss Dark Star/Matte Deep Smoke colourway pairs a deep gloss black with a very understated matt smoked grey.

The LVR workshop view

OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. Trek has made its carbon frames using the OCLV process for more than thirty years: each fibre layer is consolidated in a heated mould under pressure so that no micro-bubbles remain. The higher the series, the more optimised the lay-up and the less carbon is needed to withstand the same loads. The Madone SL 6 stays with OCLV 500, with a painted frame of 1,054 g in ML, and benefits from the Trek lifetime warranty.

	OCLV 500 (Madone SL 6)	OCLV 900 (Madone SLR)	SL / SLR difference
Level	Entry-level carbon in the road range	Trek's top-end carbon	Identical aero, only the weight changes
Construction	Proven OCLV process, more fibres	3D moulding, fewer overlaps	OCLV 900 up to 20% stronger than OCLV 800
Reference bike	Madone SL 6: 8.16 kg (ML)	Madone SLR 7: 7.52 kg (ML)	0.64 kg, including 271 g on frame + fork
What it means	Electronics and carbon wheels at this price	One-piece Aero RSL cockpit, Ultegra Di2	The SLR is aimed at racing and the mountains

Put simply: with the SL 6, Trek prioritises electronics and carbon wheels over OCLV 900 carbon. For most riders, instant shifting and 50 mm rims pay off more day to day than 271 g saved on the frameset.

Over long distances, aerodynamics saves energy every hour, and Trek measured the whole rider, bike and bottles system to design these tubes. IsoFlow adds vertical compliance up to 80% greater than that of the Gen 7 Madone: enough to keep your back intact after several hours in the saddle.

Di2 also reduces hand fatigue, since each shift takes a simple press. Just bear in mind that this Madone has no integrated storage: a saddle bag or frame bag is a must for long self-supported rides.

Which Madone should you choose?

Model	Carbon	Drivetrain	Wheels	Weight (size)
Madone SL 5 Pro	OCLV 500	Shimano 105 mechanical 2x12	Aeolus Elite 48 carbon	8.44 kg (ML)
Madone SL 6	OCLV 500	Shimano 105 Di2 2x12	Aeolus Elite 50 carbon	8.16 kg (ML)
Madone SL 7	OCLV 500	Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12	Aeolus Pro 51 carbon	7.87 kg (ML)
Madone SLR 7	OCLV 900	Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12	Aeolus Pro 51 carbon	7.52 kg (ML)

Our take: for long distances, the SL 6 offers aero and comfort with 480 g less than the SL 5. The SL 7 saves a further 290 g with Ultegra Di2, at 7.87 kg.

Wider tyres?	Up to 32 mm measured for even more comfort.
Di2 battery life on an audax?	More than enough, as long as you set off with a charged battery.
