For the cyclist who alternates between road and gravel tracks around the Étang de Thau, the rider heading off for a weekend of light bikepacking, or anyone who wants an adaptable bike. It also suits the rider torn between a road bike and a gravel bike who doesn't want to give up the road.
OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. Behind the OCLV acronym lies an in-house process launched by Trek in 1992: each part is put under pressure and then cured to drive out the air trapped between the plies, the main source of weakness in carbon. The number that goes with the name (500, 900) tells you how refined the layup is; the higher it goes, the fewer fibres the frame needs for equivalent stiffness. These frames are covered by a Trek lifetime warranty.
| OCLV 500 (Domane SL) | OCLV 900 (Domane SLR) | |
| Level | Entry-level carbon of the road range | Trek's most advanced carbon |
| Construction | Robust layup, slightly more material | Rigid 3D moulding, fewer fibre overlaps |
| Gen 5 Domane frame | approx. 1,055 g | approx. 835 g (unpainted, size ML) |
| What it means | Tough, comfortable frame, more affordable price | About 220 g less on the frame; up to 20 % stronger than the previous OCLV 800 |
For a versatile bike, the toughness of OCLV 500 matters more than weight: you load up a bag, ride on tracks, and the frame doesn't complain.
The bag mounts built into the frame let you carry a frame bag or top tube bag without straps. With 38 to 40 mm tyres, it rolls along the fast tracks of the Minervois while staying at ease on tarmac.
It is also a bike that evolves: carbon wheels, wider tyres or mudguards for winter, we adapt the set-up in the workshop. The UDH hanger and threaded T47 bottom bracket make this kind of job simpler.
| Model | Carbon | Drivetrain | Wheels | Weight (ML) |
| Domane SL 5 | OCLV 500 | Shimano 105 mechanical | Aluminium | 8.84 kg |
| Domane SL 6 AXS | OCLV 500 | SRAM Rival AXS wireless | Carbon 50 mm | 8.64 kg |
| Domane SL 7 AXS 1x | OCLV 500 | SRAM Force XPLR 1x13 + power meter | Carbon 51 mm | 8.14 kg |
| Domane SLR 7 | OCLV 900 | Shimano Ultegra Di2 | Carbon 51 mm | 7.66 kg |
Our take: as an all-rounder, the SL 5 offers the same frame platform as the SL 6 and SL 7, for 200 g and 700 g more. For tracks with more climbing, the SL 7 AXS 1x and its 10-46 are better suited.
