For the triathlete who structures their training around a power-based plan and wants the same data on race day. It suits age-group competitors aiming for measurable progress over 70.3 or Olympic distance.
OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. OCLV is Trek's in-house process, in place since 1992: heat and pressure drive out the air trapped between the fibre sheets, and the higher the series number, the less material is needed for a given stiffness. The Speed Concept SLR 7 AXS uses Series 800, which was long the top of the brand's road range. Here it makes room for a Bento box and a down tube compartment without weakening the frame, which carries a Trek lifetime warranty.
| OCLV 800 (Speed Concept SLR) | OCLV 900 (Madone SLR) | OCLV 500 (Madone SL) | |
| Level | Trek's former top-end road carbon | Trek's most advanced carbon | Entry-level road carbon |
| Construction | Lay-up optimised for large-section aero tubes | 3D moulding, fewer fibre overlaps | Same process, slightly more material |
| Reference bike | Frame 1,522 g painted + fork 410 g | Madone SLR: frame 796 g (ML) + fork 350 g | Madone SL: frame 1,054 g (ML) + fork 363 g |
| What it means | Stiff and durable, integrated storage and IsoSpeed | Up to 20% stronger than OCLV 800 | Heavier, more affordable budget |
In short: a triathlon frame is not chosen by the gram. The 1,522 g of the Speed Concept are explained by deep sections and integration, assets that save far more time than a hundred grams or so on a fast course.
The power meter fitted as standard changes the way you race: rather than going by feel or by speed, which the wind distorts, you hold a target power. On the bike leg of a triathlon, that is often what stops you going out too hard and paying for it on the run.
The 48/35 chainset and 10-33 cassette offer a top gear comparable to 52x11 and an easier bottom gear: useful on courses that climb towards the Hauts Cantons. The AXS batteries charge on the derailleurs; we update the firmware and pair the power meter with your bike computer.
| Model | Carbon | Drivetrain | Wheels | Weight (size) |
| Speed Concept SLR 7 | OCLV 800 | Shimano Ultegra Di2 | Aeolus Pro 37 | 8.97 kg (M) |
| Speed Concept SLR 7 AXS | OCLV 800 | SRAM Force AXS + power meter | Aeolus Pro 51 | 9.02 kg (M) |
| Speed Concept SLR 9 | OCLV 800 | Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 | Aeolus RSL 51 | n/a (frame 1,522 g) |
| Speed Concept SLR 9 AXS | OCLV 800 | SRAM RED AXS + power meter | Aeolus RSL 51 | n/a (frame 1,522 g) |
Our take: compared with the SLR 7, this model adds a power meter, 51 mm rims and a Bento box for just 50 g more. The SLR 9 AXS steps up to RED AXS and RSL wheels, with the same power meter principle.

LVR sizing advice Between two sizes, do not decide from the chart alone: the aero position depends on your flexibility and the height of the extensions. We set up the mid-rise bar and seatpost offset during the bike fit.

| Does the power meter work with GPS computers? | Yes, it communicates with common ANT+ and Bluetooth computers. |
| Charging the batteries? | Yes, SRAM AXS charger supplied, with a battery life of several weeks. |
| Useful for a beginner? | Yes, if you follow a plan; otherwise the SLR 7 is enough. |
| Where do I keep my inner tube? | In the storage compartment integrated into the frame's down tube. |

The LVR Cycles verdict The Speed Concept that turns every ride into a measured session. For a triathlete who trains seriously, the built-in power meter alone justifies choosing this version.
