Trek Madone 5.5 Review

The Trek Madone bike comes with the highest possible recommendation - both Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador rode the bike in 2009, and both are happy to promote the bike for Trek. Perhaps in reality they would promote the bike of whichever company sponsored them, but nonetheless it suggests that the bike really does have something very special to recommend it.

We have had a Madone Series 5 for the last two months and, Despite the cold weather than we have had many opportunities on the bike during the winter and see if he deserves praise the fine.

Short answer: Yes! It 's a very good bike to ride and everything you look for in a bike. - It's coming down hill quickly or if - comfortable and hard to answer, and most importantly, a constant driving pleasure.

The poor quality of road bumps and spend not too bad just is not enoughHours in the saddle without discomfort. In fact, your biggest challenge is rather to keep the smile off my face as she goes along.

In some ways I think the performance is somewhat 'misleading. The bike feels at times perhaps sooner than it really is, and I often thought I had time to complete one of my regular in record time only to find my current rating was not so great, and it was only the " sport "of the wheel, he feltquickly.

But no matter. If you try to attach the top of a hill in front of the cycling on Madone is perfect for you - last minute bursts appear out of nowhere, where another hill a few times by a lead weight on top of a. If you currently as short steep hill, where you are out of the saddle for one, will again trek will reward you with speed and finesse.

A slight word of caution - the lightness and rigidity of the wheel mediait has little natural momentum and can require quite an effort to keep it moving fast. You pedal hard and you go fast but if you don't make an effort you slow down! Recommended for enthusiasts but I doubt if it will be the ideal first bike for someone new to cycling.

Technically of course the bike is of very high quality, with all the resources that such a large company can afford to invest. But often throwing money at a problem isn't the best solution. You will be pleased to know that in the case of the Trek Madone, a mix of large investment and a touch of inspiration seems to have paid off perfectly and the bike is very recommended.
