Trek 1.5 road bike review

The Trek 1.5 is designed to be solid and dependable option for the new road cyclist, that will feel equally at home on a commute as a long Sunday ride

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

If you are looking for a first road bike or solid winter steed, this is a quality frame that will last the course and not let you down. The geometry is very relaxed, with this bike better suited to all day comfort and less flexible riders. The ride is smooth, but the brakes and a couple of other minor details let the overall package down when we consider the price.

Smooth ride

Accelerates well

Tiagra shifting is good

Tubeless ready rims

Lifetime warranty on the frame

23mm tyres not 25mm

No 32t cassette

Boring styling

Trek frames are synonymous with quality and their faith in the product is backed up by life time warranty. The frame is Trek's top drawer 'Alpha aluminium' whilst the fork is carbon fibre. In order to test the Trek 1.5 we have been riding it throughout winter, on commutes and longer training rides.

The One series is Trek's base level frame and would potentially suit a large number of cyclists. If you are in the market for your first road bike, a dependable winter bike, or just something for epic sportives that won't break the bank, the Trek 1.5 is a great option. Hinting at this versatility is the inclusion of eyelets on the stays and forks, to aid the fitting of mudguards. There is also loads of mudguard/tyre clearance under the brakes. But, if you are flexible, or have good core strength you may find the upright posture this bike encourages limiting when you want to get lower and more aero.

 Geometry

The geometry of the Trek 1.5 is relaxed. For those new to cycling, this means that the horizontal reach from the saddle to the handle bars is shorter and the vertical height of the handle bars is higher. Rather than a super aggressive flat back like Bradley Wiggins , this enables the rider to sit more upright, in a more relaxed position.

This makes it ideal for new riders, who are yet to develop the core strength and flexibility that makes an aggressive position more sustainable. Our 58cm test model came with 44cm bars, which although less aerodynamic than a narrower bar, they may help add stability to overall handling to less confident riders.

The Trek 1.5 comes fitted with a range of components. The shifters and derailleurs are Shimano Tiagra , but the chain set is FSA Vera and the brakes are unbranded callipers. We were hugely  impressed with the quality of the shifting on this bike. The FSA chainset works well in this regard with little or no flex, to hamper shifts.

We felt that the brakes let the bike down. The unbranded callipers didn't feel as responsive or stable as a Tiagra or Shimano 105  calliper. The lack of strength translates to less braking power and compromised modulation. That considered, the first thing we would upgrade on this bike would be the brakes. This is disappointing when we consider the overall price.

Our test model featured 23mm Bontrager R1 tyres. These rolled nicely and were puncture free for over a few weeks of winter riding and commuting on roads strewn with potential puncture hazards. We would have preferred to see this bike come fitted with 25mm tyres as they are stronger and can aid comfort. We do however like that Trek have equipped the bike with tubeless ready rims . Using tubeless tyres could reduce the risk of punctures.

The Tiagra rear cassette is 12-30t. With professionals even adopting 32t cassettes on steep mountainous days, it would be nicer if the Trek came with either a 12-32t cassette or a medium length cage rear derailleur, which would allow a 32t cassette to be fitted. Being a short cage derailleur, it is designed to only go up to 30t. This is in contrast to other bikes in a similar price range, such as the Giant Defy 3 and B'Twin Alur , which both have 32t cassettes as standard.

Ride and handling

Our favourite thing about the Trek 1.5 is the ride handling. Use of round tubes helps contribute to stiffness, whilst the carbon fork offers some dampening. The ride is very smooth, with the frame doing an excellent job of ironing out imperfections and bumps. Considering how well the frame absorbs road buzz we were pleasantly surprised to find that the bike is no slouch when you want to accelerate out the saddle either.

Compliant frames can often feel spongy when you give it the beans, but the Trek 1.5 quickly gets up to speed without any fuss. Wheels on bikes in this price range can often be bargain basement, with spokes that feel as if they are made of cooked spaghetti, but we were pleasantly surprised by the Bontrager wheels on this bike. They compliment the frame well and don't sacrifice ride quality.

Overall, the bike feels nicely balanced, with the weight centred. This is noticeable when riding uphill or track standing. Our 58cm test weighed in at a respectable 8.7kg without pedals. Cornering can feel a little tame, but will always be the case when a bike has a high front end. A lower front end enables you to lower your centre of gravity to a greater degree.

Whilst colour is subjective, we feel the Trek is rather boring to look at. The first thing that draws your eye to a bike is the way it looks and the Trek looks pretty utilitarian. Don't expect to cop admiring glances at the cafe stop. That said, plenty of us value function over form.

Trek 1.5 review

Build your road confidence

Joby Sessions

Guy Kesteven

Trek haven’t changed their entry-level road frame much for the past couple of years, but there are plenty of riders who want ‘sit up and beg’ comfort and relaxed handling in a road bike style, so there’s no reason they should. It wouldn’t be our first choice for more competitive work though.

Ride & handling: Comfortable enough for long rides and ideal for building confidence

There’s a fair amount of sideways flex in the Trek 1.5's tall head tube and narrow-stance fork if you bully rather than coax the steering. Starting with a downer on one small aspect of the handling is slightly unfair though, as the rest of the ride is unfailingly friendly and easy to live with.

Even Trek’s race bikes have a reputation for being more relaxed and surefooted than others and with a higher bar position and more centralised weight the 1.5 is even less threatening on descents or twisty lanes. High levels of vibration absorption in the slim, tall tubes reduce the chatter and ragged traction effect that can throw you off-line in rough conditions.

The tall cockpit height and shallow handlebar create a comfortable position when your hands are hooked into the more secure position of the drops, making the Trek a great confidence builder for those who don’t generally like to push their trust in tarmac traction. More accessible hand positions and the impressive amount of comfort for a mid-price alloy frame also make the 1.5 a welcoming place to be when you’re heading into work or putting in the long miles at the weekend.

The upright position means plenty of breathing space too, which, combined with the low complete bike weight and the extra-large rear cog on the cassette, means it cruises up steep hills surprisingly easily. Start applying pressure though and it’s less convincing. Flex from the crankset combines with a soft overall feel from the chassis – particularly when bracing bar against pedals – to take the edge off your effort before it reaches the road.

The upright position that saves your spine from too much strain but also prevents you from really putting your back into it or escaping from headwinds when you need too. However, keep your pedal revs high and your pedal pressure down and it’ll spin along quite happily. If you do use it for racing, you’ll find the fatigue reduction during the ride a bonus when you get to the run.

Chassis: Simple but relatively lightweight frameset builds a similarly light bike

Trek base the 1.5 around their H2 geometry, a higher fronted, more upright version of their H1 competition positioning. That’s the reason behind the very tall, slim head tube which is increased in effective height even further by the deep external cups of the FSA Intellaset headset on this build. Quite what extra intelligence it adds we weren’t able to confirm, but it certainly gives the bike a high brow.

There doesn’t seem to be much elaborate thinking in the tube shapes, with a round-to-straight top tube and only very slight shaping on the down tube. The D-section-to-round chainstays and oval-to-round seatstays finish at plain chunky dropouts, although the pearl and blue-black paint finish adds a dash of decorative class.

While Trek haven’t gone overboard on the external detailing or tube shaping, frame weight is still perfectly reasonable thanks to unseen butting that removes excess metal from the tube walls. Utility use is definitely still on the agenda though, and commuter use is certainly possible with rack and guard mounts at the rear and mudguard eyes on the slim crowned, carbon-legged fork.

Equipment: Square-taper crankset is a disappointment at this price

It seems that the £800 bike club is operating a strict “if you ain’t wearing Shimano Tiagra, you ain’t coming in” door policy this year. While the Trek will get past the bouncers outside, a close look at the FSA Vero compact chainset makes entry through the component ‘velvet rope’ less likely. While square-taper internal bottom brackets tend to last well, they’re also prone to more creak, flex and eventual removal trauma than external cups are.

There’s loads of mudguard/fat tyre clearance under the deep drop brakes though, and cartridge pads keep them reasonably sharp in feel despite the longer arms. While the ride position is far from aero, the Bontrager rimmed wheels get fashionable bladed spokes. They also use a new Clix skewer system and the front hub uses a larger than normal cam offset and a big locking collar, which means no more messing about with skewer wind-on/wind-off, which is great for cold-fingered puncture fixing or new riders. The ‘Plus’ puncture protection on the Bontrager R1 tyres should mean flats are less likely in the first place, though.

The Bontrager Approved gear is the lowest grade of named components, but it all does a decent job. The shallow compact bend makes the dropped section on the handlebar more useable but the long stem doesn’t have an entirely positive effect on handling – it has a tendency to lurch around at really slow speeds, so be careful if you’re chasing your tail on a quick turnaround.

Rocketing down serpentine descents, flattening hilly centuries, and leading the group ride; Trek’s 1.5 C does it all and more. Its Trek Alpha aluminum frame and carbon fork are light, stiff and velvety smooth for all-day comfort. The Bontrager wheels slice through the air and effortlessly accelerate out of turns quickly. Plus, the wide-ranging 20-speed Shimano drivetrain means you have the gears to get up the steepest hills and dual-pivot brakes ensure safety and confidence on the way back down. You’ll also love the fine Bontrager stem, bar, seatpost and saddle that make every ride a great ride.

2014 Trek 1.5 review

My time with the 2014 Trek 1.5 is about to end. Over the last few months I’ve ridden over 500km on the 1.5 exactly as it arrived except for my own pedals and bottle cages.

I’ve ridden over all kinds of road conditions and surfaces and along flat roads as well as over steep and rolling hills. To cut to the chase, I’ve found the new Trek 1.5 a thoroughly likeable companion and I genuinely feel it’s an excellent step forward over the old one and for me, is a fine buy at its £875 price point.

2014 Trek 1.5

In case you haven’t read my first look post ( http://girodilento.com/2014-trek-1-5-first-ride-review/ ) I used to own the previous generation Trek 1.5, which I bought after a strong recommendation from a bike shop owner. After riding 1,000 miles on it through winter, I just didn’t like the old one to keep it. Trek have certainly fixed this with the new one and it’s been a really pleasant companion. The ride quality is smooth, the handling is composed and assured at all times. It does everything well. For the price point of £875 at retail running a Tiagra 10 speed drivetrain except for the long reach brakes (and FSA cranks) – everything works as well as you’d think it should. It’s not a super light, super stiff race bike but that’s not what it’s designed to be either.

Really a bike like this should be bread and butter for Trek and it feels like that as a product. I’m a big fan of the Trek H2 geometry as I feel it’s a sensible tweaking of race geometry for the everyday rider without going all “Sportive” and running a really high headtube. On the 56cm model I was riding, the head tube length of 170mm is actually shorter than a Cervelo R5 (in size 56cm) and it has the same head tube length as a Specialized Tarmac S-Works SL3 had – so it’s far from lofty or lengthy. I’m labouring the point a little as I’ve seen a few comments over the last few years criticising the “high” headtube on the H2 geometry and I think that’s both unfair and simply wrong. It’s certainly a height that works for me and allows me to run less spacers than a more aggressive front end would and is perfect for the target market for the bike.

Wearing some fancy Reynolds Attack wheels and looking good – Trek 1.5

The update to the frame with some Kammtail style tube shaping on the top tube and the downtube give the frame a nice modern look as well as having transformed the ride. It’s UCI certified too, which is nice if you want to race one – although I don’t think this is where the bike is at its best.

To me the new Trek 1.5 is great in a range of circumstances. I think it’s a terrific beginner’s bike – it’s comfortable, smooth riding, does everything well and so makes a great bike to find your legs on. For those of you that have now found your legs, I still think the bike has a lot of appeal. It has long drop brakes and huge clearance for running full mudguards, so can become a fine winter training bike and I do think it has a lot to offer here. The smooth riding, comfortable, good nature of the bike is perfect for winter riding. In the compact gearing I rode the bike in, it features a 12-30 cassette, which is low enough to climb the steepest of hills. I reckon it’d even make a good Audax bike – although I won’t get the chance to find out. It has rack mounts too for commuting or riding to the shops, (or carrying cakes on for your mid ride stops!) – especially once you’ve fitted your SKS Chromoplastic mudguards, which would be a perfect match for the bike. In fact it has so much mudguard clearance I reckon you might be able to get 28mm tyres and full mudguards on this bike – definitely 25mm and full guards.

The 1.5 seems very well made and finished as you’d expect from Trek and the colour scheme has been something I’ve really enjoyed too. It’s fairly masculine, but I’m a guy and I like it!

On the way up the Ashdown Forest

So it can’t all be perfect can it? Well no obviously, nothing is perfect but I think for the price point this is a bike I’d be happy to spend my own money on (I did once before!) There are some things I liked less about the bike, but unless you’re doing a no expenses spared dream build there’s usually a compromise or two.

For me the bits I liked less were really only the wheels, brake pads and the handlebars. Wheels on most bikes at this price point are not the finest. The Bontrager approved hoops that come with the 1.5 are a bit portly and not the most lively but they roll wheel and I’ve not managed to knock them out of true through a wet, wet winter that seems to have had far more of its fair share of potholes. These wheels would be something I’d upgrade, especially if you wanted something more sprightly for the summer – but they do the job adequately. For commuting and winter training they’d be just fine till your wore them out. The brake pads weren’t great and they seemed to be a bit harsh on the rims. If it were my own bike, I’d quickly swap them out for some Koolstop Salmon brakepads – which are my favourites. Very easy on the rim and lovely brake feel – not something you could say about the stock ones.

Waiting for a friend to start a ride…

The only bad thing I could find to say about 10 speed Tiagra, which shifts fantastically for the money is that I noticed when riding in the dark that the exposed cables can get in the way of the beam from my front light. They can also rattle against the bars a bit on what is otherwise a pretty quiet bike. Very minor quibbles that you don’t get on 105 level Shimano or higher as the cables are run under the handlebar tape. I didn’t find the shape of the bars quite to my liking either, they feel wider than their 42cm sizing and I found both the reach and the drops deeper than I’d like – but they do the job just fine and I probably wouldn’t change them if it was my bike.

Overall though, I’ve really enjoyed this bike. It’s smooth, comfortable, versatile, dependable and makes a fine riding companion – especially for the money. Given the fact that the frameset has a lifetime warranty – I think it’s good value too.

Out on a ride in Sussex

If this had been the 1.5 I’d bought personally back in 2012, I’m almost certain I’d still own it today and would have travelled many thousands of miles on it by now. For sure, I think it’s fine winter bike for anyone who doesn’t want to go crazy and spend a fortune on one. It’s comfortably under the £1,000 cycle to work threshold, which will make it interesting to a lot of riders in the UK. As a first bike it’s perfect because once you get fit and decide you want something lighter and faster, chuck some mudguards on this and keep it as your winter trainer. So many cyclists, myself included buy a bike around this price point, then sell it to step up to something fancier then end up looking for a winter trainer – buy one of these and that’s a job ticked off from the start. The 2014 Trek 1.5 is a fine bike for the money, I’ll miss it.

• USER REVIEWS

I have owned this bike for 10 years now, and put thousands of miles on it and it is still going strong! It's is ultra hardy and durable (been in a few small accidents, throw it in my car, etc.). The aluminum frame makes it very responsive to power pushes. The carbon fiber fork and seat post dampens some of the road noise and the 105 components are excellent! This bike is an incredible value and I feel like it rides just as well as bikes that are 5x its price.

The front derailleur is finicky and I have to adjust it often to be able to kick it into the highest gear. The tires that come with the bike are not good, worth an upgrade. The aluminum is nice for durability and responsiveness and for the average rider the extra weight is worth it. But for a competitive rider, they would want a lighter bike. Especially on my 63cm frame.

Ultegra Rear Derailleur is strong and smooth at shifting. The Frame is strong and lightweight. Power transfers well into each push. I've put roughly 350-380 Miles on this bike so far and I love it. It was night and day different than a cheap Amazon found road bike that I originally purchased. Like many others have said about this bike, It keeps up with the $2-3K without a problem at all. I did upgrade my saddle and tires as everyone else mentioned as well and it makes a huge difference.

The bike isn't the most comfortable at longer rides. I'm 5'11 and ride a 58CM and it always feels like my reach is a little too far extended with the seat post position. I've had to adjust my saddle forward just to feel a little less stress on my upper back/shoulders and inner elbows from extending my arms so far forward for a longer amount of time. Needless to say, 20miles or less per ride are fine but any more than that is very uncomfortable. Front Derailleur is very finicky like other reviewers mentioned.

I’ve been riding this bike for well over a decade, religiously for work and leisure and fun. I’ve been hit by many cars, I fix it every time, this bike is priceless to me. Car Window Repair

Front fork could be a little more robust. Tires puncture easily by thorns.

Fits like a glove. Very fast and stiff. You feel the power on each push transferring to the ground. Now at 2021 and after many years, I still beat lots of riders on flat or slow steep terrain. It has a 53/39 configuration that is tough on slopes. I just bought a Tiagra 11/32 cassette to add some 13% easiness on the hills we have in Chile. With that I will be faster and hope not much compact babies can pass me.

The setting of the crankset is too old and not upgradeable due to the 10s. I had to lower my cassette to tiagra. I upgrades the seat and the wheels so I am at the sweet spot. I don’t plan to change it. Aluminum kicking a lot of carbon dudes.

It looks like a classic road bike with classic race geometry. At 54cm it has perfect frame triangulation. It came with an Ultegra 6600 groupset and Ultegra brakes (but I upgraded it to 6770). It has Bontrager SSR components, seat, handlebars, forks, wheels. It has an awesome 2006 Team Discovery channel livery. The decals are actually under the clear coat and the bike looks more expensive than it is. From a distance you would mistake it for a 2007 Madone. The frame is nice and stiff but not so stiff you would knock your teeth together. It's still as good as any other mid level flat top tube road bike such a a CAAD. Its very reliable and rides fast.

Its aluminum and so you pay a weight penalty. It doesn't have the strongest components if you are a heavy rider.

The look (frame shape is almost classic), frame stiffness, Cane Creek SCR3 brakes, carbon seat post, Bontrager SSR saddle, awesome painting (Discovery Channel Team),

The rims, even if are good looking are not robust at all. The rear one was replaced due to multiple cracks around spoke holes after one year of use.

Very good acceleration, very good mid level bike because of solid 105 group, frame and accessories. Over 2000 miles on it without problems (except rear rim) but I must mention that I'm a very big rider (260 lbs). Even so the frame is calculated up to 275lbs. And that's means something!

Is this legit? The bike is a 2005 model. It has significant miles, but was well maintained and sheltered. The petals are Look-type Shimano 105. The petals show wear, but function as new. The bike has a few dings, but nothing detrimental to the expected performance. Thus the asking price of only $250. The front tire is practically new, the rear tire shows some wear, but probably good for several hundred miles. The wheels are Bontrager Select. There is one dent on the top tube, but hardly visible. No paint removed or deep scratch. You probably would not notice it unless I pointed it out.

Fit. Ultegra and 105 mix are surprisingly good quality components for an entry-level race bike.

Average weight (20 lbs). Aluminum frame makes for uncomfortable century rides. Cheap saddle and tires. Weak rims. The rear stress fractured, which is a common problem with this wheel, although was replaced under warranty at no cost to me.

Purchased the bike new in May 2007. Have since rode 10,000+ miles on it. Very comfortable (after replacing the saddle) and surprisingly fast for the weight. Overall a fantastic bike for the price. Time to upgrade so am reluctantly letting go of it.

Acceleration is great. Shifts up and down very smoothly. Maintains speed well.

Probably just me adjusting from a mountain bike to a road bike, but the handle setup is a little awkward.

First road bike purchase. Couldn't be happier. Rides very well.

Fast. Light.

Improved my 16 mile daily mountain commute by 30% over a Giant hybrid. Smooth gear transitions. Light weight for price.

Trek 1.5 road bike gear reviews

I have enjoyed this bike.

Best production bike under $1k.

Overall, it is a great bike

This has been a great first road bike. I've used it for 2 duathlons and five triathlons in the last eight months, have put about 1700km on it in that time. The bike has been terrific - no problems. Comes with a mixture of Tiagra and 105 componentry. Aluminium Frame. Carbon seat post and carbon forks. I have added (cheap ) profile clip on aero bars, and adjusted down the bars for better aero profile. According to my scales the bike weighs in at 10.3kg - this is including the Aero bars (approx 500g ) and Ultegra pedals. So pretty light bike. I have been very happy with the bike for my first season, and think it is terrific value. That said I am looking to by a considerably more expensive TT bike for next season, but will keep the Trek 1.5 for group rides, wet weather rides and road racing (if I ever do any road racing with drafting permitted ).

Great first road bike, anything less and I might not have gotten hooked.

Great first road bike. I feel like I purchased a quality starter ride that will serve me well for my first sprint and mini tris (or "t-shirt" races as the salesman called them ) but didn't spend a fortune in the event I'm not on the road all the time.

For a beginner like me this has been a perfect fit.

Overall this is my first road bike, I absolutely love it and will use it for at least one more season. I have raced a few races and trained for a couple months on this bike and I have yet to have a problem. I would recommend this bike to anyone looking for a first bike to get into the sport, ps rides great with aero bars added.

Trek 2.1 vs. Trek 1.2

• Add to quote

I've only test ridden the Trek 2, but plan on test riding the Trek 1 soon. I was very, very impressed with the 2, which might be expected since it is over $1K. If I could get away with it without compromising quality, I would be happy to spend 200 or 300 less for the 1. Should I expect very similar quality or will the component compromise of the Trek 1 become an issue sooner rather than later (performance and durability)? Thanks for your replies in advance!  

my advice my advice would be if you have the money to get the better components, go ahead and do it. when i first started cycling i got a basic trek 1000. i absolutely loved it. it was the perfect bike. however a year down the road i wish i got a bike with a little better components. on the flip side, if you are just going out for a bike ride and enjoy just riding your bike around with no intention on racing then save a few hundred bucks, because you probably wouldnt notice a big difference on the minor upgrade of components. either bike will be a nice bike and you will like it.  

Thanks for your feedback. I should mention that my budget is about $1300 max for a bicycle.  

it really depends on how much you weight. i have a 4.7 madone and my friend got the 2.1. his bike rides nice and feels very fun and responsive to ride. the only issue he has with the bike is that the wheelset flexes a bit when he climbs. he is 210 and not as smooth of a rider. i would say get the 2.1 as it feels more like my carbon frame and we all know from mountian bike riding that better parts just last longer. enjoy karl

This is some great feedback, thank you. I test rode a 2009 Trek 2.1. I was almost amazed. The ride itself was amazing, and the only detractor I could notice were the brakes, which didn't seem to work very well. Do you think $1120 is a good price is a good price for an '09 Trek 2.1? I'll test ride the 1, but the 2 made a very positive impression on me!  

I like the 2 series. I have a 2.1 and a 2.3. I got all Ultegra parts off ebay for under $300 and I'm upgrading the 2.3 as well as putting the 105 group on the 2.1. With the 105 group, the 2.1 becomes a 2.3 in all but color scheme. Both are super bikes. I tried a madrone but decided the ride was the same and I'd save the 3 grand.

To be honest, I have a strong preference for the esthetics of the 2.1 '09 rather than the 2.3 '09. I know, but that's the way it is. The 2010 2.1 looks pretty sharp too. The 2010 2.3 is pushing it on price to be sure.

2ndGen said: I'm a champion of the Trek 1.5. If I were going for a 2.X Series, I'd go with the 2.3. Why? Both the 1.5 and the 2.3 get great reviews from bike mags (the 1.5 won Best Entry Level Road Bike by Bicycling in '09 and is currently an editor's choice for '10). As for the 1.X vs 2.X Series discussion...that will depend on you really. I went with the lowest series because I always knew I'd upgrade to a $3K bike eventually. I don't personally buy by components groups on bikes I'm going to upgrade anyway. If you know enough now to know that this will be a very long term bike, then I'd definitely say go for the 2.X bike. It's an excellent bike (as is the 1.5). But in my humble opinion I'd go with the 1.5 or the 2.3. Either bike will not need upgrading for a long while in their respective categories. (1.5, entry level bike, 2.3, recreational rider/possible entry level racer). The only real difference in the two from what I've come to learn is (besides components groups) are the carbon stays on the 2.X bikes which give it a slightly better ride that really becomes noticeable on longer rides. Personally, I ended up falling in love with my 1.5 and am putting about $2,000. into it. Wheels, saddle, cockpit, groupset...for that money I could get a new Madone, but it wouldn't be my upgraded 1.5. 1.X Series bikes are by far the best alumnimum frame bikes you can get for the money. The only thing that beats it is a CAAD9, but now you're talking about a bike designed more for racing (which is also on my hit list). If you're just venturing into road biking and want to get a feel for it more, the 1.5 is a great choice to get your feet wet with. I have guys with $10,000. bikes that like my bike and compliment it even on how it rides. If you're more seasoned, the 2.3 is a great bike too. The jump up in price between the 1.2/1.5 and the 2.1/2.3 is really not much when you figure how much MORE you get for the relatively small difference. If I had to do it all over again knowing what I know now however, I'd still get the 1.5. Good luck and let us know what you choose. Click to expand...

Be careful, Trek built down the 2010 2.3 because it was too competative with the much more expensive madones. Still a nice bike but the 2009's with carbon stays are THE BEST BUY. If you don't like the brakes, change the pads -- they are cheap.  

I have a strong preference for the alu at this point, simply because I've test ridden one and loved it. My only qualm with the 2.1 would be the brakes. They didn't seem to work very well. I suppose I could swap out the pads, but dual pivot is supposed to offer a leverage advantage so maybe they could be adjusted for better power. A 10 speed cassette would be nice too, but man, the memory of the 2.1 is of a spectacular ride.... I'm having a hard time thinking about this logically! I was ready to cut a check right then and there!  

nrg4isu said: Note: The 2010 2.3 does NOT have carbon stays. That was something trek ditched after the 2009 bike and instead went with full 105 group components. Just adding my 2 cents. I own the 2.3 and although I haven't put many miles on it yet (40), I love it. The only thing I'd change so far is the seat... and I'm giving it some break-in time before I really decide on that. I chose the 2.3 over the other bikes mainly because I know that I'm going to have this bike for a loooong time. I love the frame (hydroformed) over the 1.X frames, and appreciate the better wheels and full 105 group. Click to expand...

2ndGen said: Yeah, just found that out that they went full aluminum. I wonder why they did that? Carbon supposedly gave it a better ride. I'd like to see Trek make a premium aluminum frame ala' CAAD9. I'm starting to upgrade components on my 1.5. So far, an Ultegra SL Crankset with Dura Ace 7800 Bottom Bracket. Everything else will be full Dura Ace 7800 (shifters, brakes, etc...) except for the cassette which'll be an Ultegra (since they are more durable). Now that the weather is finally getting nicer, I can get a new wheelset and turn my stock SSR wheels into a training/bad weather set. Click to expand...

roadmountain said: Do you sell your old parts? Keep them around? Click to expand...

A spectacular ride only comes once in a while. Buy the 2.1. You can always upgrade next winter.  

I'm ready to start researching bike racks so I can bring it home, lol. Any suggestions?  

I have an 09 Trek 2.1. It really is a great bike. I upgraded the pads and now it stops on a dime - they are awsome now. I ride with fast group rides and have never had issues. I paid $1100 May 09, so try and get more off. I did change the bar tape to black and just changed to Soul S4.0 wheels. The 09 colors are brighter than the 10 model. I think either 2.1 is a great buy for a advanced entry level bike. Good luck.  

roadmountain said: Yeah, I'm getting frustrated that everyone who posts got a lower price than I am likely to get. Is it because I'm in Cali? PS: test rode a Felt 75 today. The Trek is clearly nicer. Click to expand...

Get the best price you can on the bike you want. Markets vary on pricing, so take that into consideration. Cali is always strong, hence the lower need to discount. I love my 2.1. In the Fall with all the new groups coming out, I will upgrade, but because I want to not because the bike needs it. I riide some vey fast 18-20 mph avg B rides and the 2.1 runs will much more expensive bikes. The biggest factor is the motor. Good luck.  

I paid $1099 for my 2009 Trek 2.1 and didn't feel cheated. Next week it gets the 105 group off my 2.3 so it will be a second super bike. BTW ebay is great. I assembled an Untegra group for my 2.3 for about $250 by watching the slow movers.  

Went to a "high end" shop to test ride the new 2010 2.1 I was underwhelmed. First, the shop is in a very affluent, vanilla conservative town, and I felt slightly out of place. Second, even though the shop was "high end" the employees were slightly challenged. The employee who "helped" me said the bike I confirmed was ready for a test ride wasn't in stock. He said it might be in stock at their warehouse down the street. Fifteen minutes later he arrives back empty handed. He looks up and the bike I'm to test ride was directly above his head when I asked him! The bike didn't feel right. There were some mechanical noises and vibrations coming from the bottom bracket. The saddle height was adjusted improperly, as a result, ironically, of this employee's trying to adjust it. The front derailleur wouldn't shift. I didn't like riding it. Whatever they pay their employee's it's not enough to attract talented help. I was bored. Sometimes, you get it right the first time.

The ultimate race bike Our fastest road race bike ever From a legacy of greatness comes a new standard of speed. Seven generations in the making, Madone SLR is our fastest and lightest Madone disc ever, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with a triple threat of unprecedented aerodynamics, exceptional ride quality, and lightweight design. This race-ready bike is complete with never-before-seen IsoFlow technology that gives you every advantage in speed and handling.

“Trek’s seventh generation Madone blends radical design and performance” What the world is saying about the all-new Madone

“A pure-bred race bike"

“Does an exceptional job of balancing all-day comfort with the agility and aggression needed to be a top-tier race bike.”

“Every inch an aero race bike”

"One of the most visually striking and competent aero bikes available today [...] more aero, less weight, less complication."

“It doesn’t just look damn fast; it is damn fast”

“Seems to crave speed […] and the handling remains responsive at high speeds without lacking in stability.”

“Phenomenally fast and provides one heck of a thrilling ride”

“Offers all the aero tweaks and outright performance without compromising on day-to-day ridability.”

A new standard of speed Now 60 seconds/hour faster* We set out to make Madone the fastest road bike in the world. Years of research and development informed every aerodynamic inch of the seventh generation Madone SLR to create a frame, cockpit, and rider position that’s a whopping 19 watts faster than ever before.* *Compared to previous generation at 45km/h

• Read the white paper
• see the bike

Nearly 300 grams lighter*  

60 seconds/hour faster*  .

Never-before-seen IsoFlow technology Brutal performance. Total comfort. All-new IsoFlow technology soaks up fatiguing bumps in the road so you can ride stronger longer. A race-focused evolution of IsoSpeed comfort, IsoFlow flexes over bumps for a smoother ride, improves aerodynamics, and shaves weight to save precious seconds in the saddle.

Unprecedented road bike aerodynamics The devil is in the details when it comes to heart-pounding, race-winning speed. Every element of the new Madone Gen 7 was expertly sculpted to create our most aerodynamic road race bike ever, including a new generation of Kammtail tube shapes, an aero-optimized cockpit, and all-new IsoFlow technology that smooths air as it moves over the bike and accelerates it through the frame for even more free speed.

Positioned for power Ergonomic and aerodynamic riding position An overhauled bar/stem with a shorter reach and hoods that are 3cm narrower than the drops move you into a more comfortable ergonomic riding position. This narrower hood position also greatly reduces rider drag for extra aerodynamic speed while maintaining control in the drops so you don’t lose power in explosive moments.

Lighter than ever New gram-shaving design A new lightweight design and our best and lightest OCLV Carbon make the seventh generation Madone our lightest Madone disc ever, shaving around 300 grams off the previous ultra-lightweight version.

Behind the bike Hear from Senior Design Engineer, Alex Bedinghaus, on the new Madone SLR.

Pure race pedigree Informed by the world’s best cyclists Madone SLR was rigorously tested with the men’s and women’s Trek-Segafredo race teams to create a completely redesigned bike that’s faster, lighter, and fit for the biggest events on the cycling calendar, including the Tour de France and the first-ever Tour de France Femmes.

The new Madone SL Gen 7 offers the same revolutionary road race technology as the the seventh generation Madone SLR at a more accessible price point, thanks to a 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame and a two-piece flared RSL handlebar and stem. It’s the ultimate race bike, now available to more riders than ever. Our fastest and lightest Madone SL ever

Nearly 300 grams lighter*  

54 seconds/hour faster*  .

*When compared to Madone SL Gen 6 at 45km/h

Madone Gen 6

The original industry-disrupting superbike. -Adjustable top tube IsoSpeed for a smoother ride -Traditional non-flared two-piece bar + stem -Grand Tour-winning aero tube shaping -Madone performance at a better value

Built on a legacy of superbikes, Madone Gen 7 is our fastest and lightest Madone disc ever. -Lightweight, never-before-seen IsoFlow compliance tech -Flared aero-optimized bar (one-piece bar/stem on SLR, two-piece bar + stem on SL) -All-new ultra-fast aero tube shaping -Faster and lighter
