The new Trek Domane SLR is the most important endurance road bike of 2016.
In completely rethinking how the tubes of a frame brace each other, Trek engineers have redefined how a road bike interacts with the road and the rider. By adding pivots front and rear, they've enabled the machine to flex for that much-sought-after vertical compliance in ways never achieved before.
Further, instead of pigeonholing the bike as a gravel bike or an endurance race bike as is the trend, the Domane’s geometry and clearance is such that it can really be both. Especially in the disc configuration, which can easily fit 32mm tyres, the Domane SLR is a well-mannered road bike that’s at equally at home on paved or dirt roads.

What it's not
Ever since the endurance road bike was created, engineers had a few levers they could pull to add comfort.
Wider tyres — and the fork and frame clearance to handle them — are the most obvious and the most impactful variable when seeking to add comfort to a bike. Just ask the pros who race Paris-Roubaix every year.
