For the rider coming back from injury or following a structured training plan, who needs to stay below an effort threshold without giving up the climbs. It also suits experienced riders who want to string several cols together in a 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.
When you are watching your heart rate or power, steep gradients are a problem: the assist lets you stay in your endurance zone where you would otherwise have had to dig deep. On the roads of the Espinouse and the Caroux, the HPR40's help flattens the gradients and the 10-46 cassette maintains a supple cadence.
On the descents, the feel remains that of a Domane: light carbon wheels, 35 mm tyres that offer grip, disc brakes on 160 mm SRAM Paceline X rotors. The motor no longer pushes above 25 km/h, leaving the bike free on the long straights.
| 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) offers 40 Nm; the Domane+ SLR 9 (11.84 kg in 56) moves up to 60 Nm with the HPR60 and a Dura-Ace Di2 double chainset. To stay below an effort threshold, the gentler push of the HPR40 is enough on most cols.

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.
