Trek's Madone underwent a massive redesign to bring it up to date, and finally it looks every part the aero racer. The elongated tube shapes and integrated components have all been designed to minimize drag. But most noticeable is the addition of the IsoSpeed decoupler.
In recent months Trek has made waves in the bike industry with their IsoSpeed decoupler, now adding it to the front and rear of the endurance oriented Domane for ultimate all day comfort in the saddle.

Even still, on both our first ride and full reviews of the flagship Race Shop and Project 1 Madone we've been impressed at the amount of performance and comfort on tap. The trouble is, the top-end Madone Race Shop Limited costs an eye watering £9,750 / US$13,000 / AU$16,000! That’s a tall glass of water, but it’s what you’ll need for Trek's race proven H1 Geometry, a Dura Ace Di2 build and Bontrager Aeolus carbon wheels.

But, for less than half the price you have can have the Madone 9.2. You don’t get the aggressive H1 geometry, or the top grade OCLV carbon, but you do get all of the new industry leading features that make up the backbone of the new Madone.
It's like the Lazy Boy of race bikes
The most talked about feature of the new Madone is the addition of the ISOSpeed decoupler, a mechanical pivot at the top-tube seat tube junction that allows it to flex and absorb road vibrations coming up through your rear end.
Integration overkill
