For the cyclist who dreams of lightly loaded self-supported trips: a weekend between Béziers and the Cévennes, a tour of the Haut-Languedoc, 120 km stages with a frame bag and a saddle bag. It will also appeal to anyone who wants a high-end bike with no visible cables, simple to live with day to day.
OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. Trek launched its OCLV process in 1992: heat and pressure bond the carbon layers together while driving out the air left between them, a source of weak points. The higher the series number, the more optimised the fibre orientation and the less material the frame needs for equal stiffness. With the 900, the Domane SLR gets the brand's most advanced carbon, guaranteed for life by Trek.
| OCLV 900 (Domane SLR) | OCLV 500 (Domane SL) | |
| Level | Trek's most advanced carbon | Entry-level road carbon |
| Construction | Rigid 3D moulding, reduced fibre overlaps | Same process, layup with more material |
| Gen 5 Domane frame | approx. 835 g (unpainted, ML), fork 367 g | approx. 1,055 g (unpainted, ML) |
| What it means | About 220 g less; up to 20 % stronger than the previous OCLV 800 | Tough frame, slightly heavier, more affordable |
Compared with the OCLV 500 of the Domane SL, the SLR frame loses about 220 g and its 3D-mould construction reduces overlap zones, for increased strength. It is this saving that keeps the SLR 7 AXS under 7.8 kg despite an integrated power meter.
The frame has bag and mudguard mounts and accepts tyres up to 40 mm: enough to equip it for roads of every quality. The wireless drivetrain has no outer cables to replace and no dust in the cables to worry about; only the AXS batteries need charging, which is easy at the overnight stop.
On a trip, the UDH hanger is invaluable: this standard is easy to find and can be changed without special tools after a crash. The 48/35 and 10-36 make up for the weight of the luggage on climbs. Before departure, we check bolt torques, tyre pressures and pad condition.
| Model | Carbon | Drivetrain | Wheels | Weight (ML) |
| 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 |
| Domane SLR 7 AXS | OCLV 900 | SRAM Force AXS + power meter | Carbon 51 mm | 7.73 kg |
| Domane SLR 9 | OCLV 900 | Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 | RSL carbon 51 mm | 7.34 kg |
Our take: for touring, the SL 7 AXS 1x and its 10-46 are reassuring with heavy luggage, but the SLR 7 AXS is 410 g lighter and keeps finer gaps. If you travel light, the SLR 7 AXS remains our choice.
