For the rider who rides in every season, from spring in the Hauts Cantons to winter rides in dry weather, and wants a high-end bike that is easy to live with day to day.
OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. The Domane+ SL 9 AXS keeps the OCLV Series 500 carbon of the other Domane+ SL models: here, the weight saving comes from the spec, Aeolus RSL 37 wheels and a RED groupset, rather than from a more expensive carbon. The process remains Trek's own, layers compacted under pressure and heat to avoid any internal flaws, with a lifetime warranty on the frame.

| Reference bike | Domane+ SL 9 AXS: 11.00 kg (ML) | Domane+ SLR 7: 12.65 kg (56) | Domane+ ALR 5: 14.39 kg (ML) |
| What it changes | 40 Nm, wireless 1x13 | 60 Nm, Shimano Di2 2x12 | Heavier, SRAM Apex XPLR 1x12 |
In short: the SL 9 AXS is the lightest Domane+ SL, at 11.00 kg in ML, and the only one to get the SRAM RED XPLR eTap AXS drivetrain. The frame and HPR40 motor are those of the SL 6 and SL 7: what you pay for here is Aeolus RSL wheels and a RED groupset.
Wireless SRAM RED has no cables or housings to replace: you simply recharge the AXS system batteries and update it from time to time. On the motor side, TQ updates are done in the workshop; we apply them at every service, along with a check of the 360 Wh battery.
In winter, the mudguard mounts on the frame and fork let you ride on wet roads without getting filthy, and the 35 mm tubeless-ready Kwaremont RSL tyres can be run without tubes to limit punctures. Store the battery somewhere temperate during periods when you are not riding.
| Model | Frame | Motor | Drivetrain | Weight (size) |
| Domane+ SL 7 AXS | OCLV 500 carbon | TQ HPR40, 40 Nm | SRAM Force XPLR AXS 1x13 | 11.47 kg (ML) |
| Domane+ SL 9 AXS | OCLV 500 carbon | TQ HPR40, 40 Nm | SRAM RED XPLR AXS 1x13 | 11.00 kg (ML) |
| Domane+ SLR 9 | OCLV 800 carbon | TQ HPR60, 60 Nm | Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 2x12 | 11.84 kg (56) |
| Domane+ SLR 7 | OCLV 800 carbon | TQ HPR60, 60 Nm | Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12 | 12.65 kg (56) |
Our take: the SL 9 AXS (11.00 kg in ML) and the SL 7 AXS (11.47 kg) share the frame, motor and mounts; the difference lies in the groupset and wheels. If you ride a lot in winter, reliability counts as much as the 470 g difference.

LVR sizing advice The Domane+ SL comes in XS to XL. Trek puts the ML between 173 and 179 cm and the L between 179 and 188 cm; handlebar width (36 to 42 cm) and stem length (80 to 120 mm) change with the size. If you are between two sizes, a measurement in store will settle it.
