As light as Émonda
Madone Gen 8 is as light as our current Émonda SLR f/s and 320 grams lighter than the previous Madone f/s, thanks to all-new 900 Series OCLV Carbon and radical new tube designs. Plus, it climbs like a dream, so even your Émonda devotees will be impressed.
As fast as Madone Gen 7 Madone Gen 8 is 77 sec/hr faster than Émonda and as fast as the previous Madone* with new Full System Foil aero shapes that redefine what fast looks like. Plus, new RSL Aero Bottles and Cages (included with Madone SLR) help make the whole rider system faster on any bike .
*At 200W as a rider system (bike, rider, bottles/cages, and components)
Lighter and more comfortable IsoFlow tech Madone Gen 8's updated IsoFlow technology is even lighter and up to 80% more vertically compliant than before, absorbing road chatter so your customers can ride stronger longer.
New lighter weight and more ergonomic bar/stem Madone SLR models put riders in the ultimate aero position with an updated Aero RSL Road Integrated Bar/Stem made with uber-light OCLV Carbon, ultra-fast aero shapes, and hoods that are 3cm narrower than the drops (just like the drop shape on Gen 7).
The ultimate race bike at the ultimate price The all-new Madone SL shares all the same revolutionary frame technology as the SLR model, but keeps costs down with more economical 500 series OCLV Carbon and two-piece handlerbar/stem combos. SL models are also mechanical compatible.
Best of both worlds — no compromises
You no longer have to choose between fast and light, sprinting or climbing. With Madone Gen 8, Émonda customers get an even more aerodynamic ride, and Madone customers get an ultra-light bike that helps them climb faster than ever.
