The Trek Domane SL 6 Can Glide Over Any Road Surface

With its own IsoSpeed suspension system, this versatile road bike is a winner for ride quality and value

Price: $3,200 Weight: 17.1 lb. (56cm) Use: Road

The Domane SL and SLR Family The Domane SL family starts with the SL 5 (in unisex and women’s versions), with rim brakes and a full Shimano 105 groupset, and tops out at the SLR 9 Disc, a $12,000 bike with full Shimano Dura-Ace, Di2, hydraulic disc brakes, and Aeolus 3 D3 Disc carbon wheels. The SLR models offer additional clearance for up to 32mm tires; all the bikes have front and rear IsoSpeed, which offers the patented road-damping technology that we love so much about this series. The SLR 6 comes in a disc-brake model and a disc-brake gravel version with wider, burlier tires. The SL 6 is a more budget-friendly version in the line, but it still brings the comfortable ride geometry and road suspension these bikes are known for. And, with a full Shimano Ultegra groupset, it has the distinct component advantage over the SL 5.

The Secret to Those IsoSpeed Decouplers The SL 6 has a lightweight carbon frame and a front and rear suspension system, called IsoSpeed, that allows it to effectively soak up road noise. Here’s how it works: The front IsoSpeed decoupler on the bike makes it so the steerer tube can flex independently from the head tube, which allows the bike to reduce road vibration. The rear IsoSpeed decoupler has a slider that lets you adjust the compliance level for terrain and personal preference by up to 14 percent. You might not even need to adjust the rear slider to experience the road-smoothing effects of the two decouplers working together—we found that the all-over effect of the bike was fast and smooth performance equally suited to asphalt and cobbles.

Other Component Highlights The full Ultegra drivetrain, with an 11-28 cassette and 50/34 compact crankset, gives you seamless mechanical shifting and plenty of gears to tackle any climb. The SL 6 also comes with Bontrager Paradigm tubeless-ready rims and tough Bontrager R2 700x28mm tires, so you’ve got a solid set of wheels for when you want to test out that suspension system.

Ride Impressions Bringing the Domane SL 6 to a spring group ride feels a bit like cheating—the bike is so fast, smooth, and versatile that it can make you feel stronger than you actually deserve to feel after a long winter of Netflix -enabled sloth. I’ve test-ridden some of the higher-end Domanes in the past (up one of the hardest climbs I’ve ever experienced, Mount Figueroa, in Solvang, California) and had a similarly impressed response, but I reasoned some of my “wow” reaction had to have been tied to how far out of my price range that bike was. To my delight, the Domane SL 6 brings a lot of that same lightweight, road-smoothing magic and X factor to a more affordable price range.

From the moment I hit the first loose-gravel climb on one of my usual lunch routes, I was sold on the bike’s seamless Ultegra shifting and talent for soaking up road chatter with IsoSpeed suspension. Big bumps in the road still jarred me, but the washboard ruts didn’t throw off my handling or rattle my shoulders too much. The endurance geometry helped with that, too—long rides were as comfortable from beginning to start as you can expect, without any sacrifice in speed. And the Bontrager R2 28mm tires were great on both smooth asphalt and rough gravel.

Trek Domane SL 6 review

The versatile and comfortable Trek Domane SL 6 put to the test

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

The Trek Domane SL 6 is a do-it-all bike that offers amazing comfort over long distances. It may not be the most sprightly bike out there, but it's a versatile machine that won't let you down, and comes with a great spec at a competitive price.

Comfortable

Slightly sluggish on steep hills

You can trust Cycling Weekly. Our team of experts put in hard miles testing cycling tech and will always share honest, unbiased advice to help you choose. Find out more about how we test.

The Trek Domane SL 6 enters Editor's Choice 2019 thanks to its superb versatility and great spec that provides comfort over any endurance ride. I've done century rides, touring rides and fast paced group rides with the Domane SL 6 never letting me down. A reliable bike that is a pleasure to ride, the Domane SL 6 is well worth it's place in this year's Editor's Choice.

The Trek Domane SL 6 is a very different kind of bike to the super-stiff frame and racey geometry I'd usually choose to ride. It's endurance setup and all-round capabilities won me over though and I was left hugely impressed after putting in a lot of miles on it.

>>> Buy now: Trek Domane SL 6 at Evans Cycles for £3200

The Domane is Trek's endurance offering, with its ride-smoothing IsoSpeed frame technology the unique selling point over other brands. The SL 6 is the mid-range offering, retailing at £3,200 with the most expensive version (the SLR 9) retailing at over £9,500.

The front and rear IsoSpeed is certainly the most noticeable thing when first riding the bike. Coming from a super-stiff frame, it's instantly noticeable how forgiving this bike is over rough roads and was perfect for the varying quality of British lanes in the early winter.

The IsoSpeed decouplers sit at the rear of the top tube and in the head tube, but unlike the higher end models in the Domane range you aren't able to adjust the rear IsoSpeed for more stiffness or more comfort on the SL 6. It would be a nice option to be able to adjust the bike to the style of riding your doing, but the comfort offered here on the fixed setting felt great nonetheless.

One concern ahead of riding the SL 6 was whether the dampening technology would compromise any power transfer or how fast the bike would feel. The SL 6 carbon fibre frame has some quite bulky tubes, and was responsive to seated and sprint efforts along the flats and draggy inclines. The aerodynamic shaping of the tubing also added to that feel.

Really steep climbs with efforts out of the saddle was the bike's weakest point however. It didn't feel sprightly - particularly in comparison to the Specialized Tarmac and Giant TCR I'd just ridden - and wasn't inspiring any attacking on the harsh ramps. But the Domane isn't really designed for that, though it features a wide range of gearing (50/34 at the front with 11-34 rear) that did allow me to get over anything with no trouble.

The best thing about this bike is definitely it's versatility. I used it for short commutes, long weekend rides, some short fast rides and even for multi-day touring. Trek has helped this feeling of versatility by building in neat features like the down tube storage compartment for your tubes, tyre levers and CO2 canisters, as well as built in mounts front and rear for Bontrager lights; all great touches that helped on those long rides and while touring.

Wheels can often be a mixed bag at this sort of price range, but I was impressed by the Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25 wheels provided on the Domane SL 6. With a rim width of 25mm, the wheels came shod with 32mm tubeless Bontrager R2 Hard-Case Lite tyres that I thought rolled really well and felt plenty fast considering their size and shallow rim depth. Moreover, the wheels felt stable and robust, adding to the comfort factor for endurance riding. I had no punctures or issues with the wheels at all over hundreds of miles of testing. The frame also allows you to add up to 38mm tyres if you want to as well as mud guards, perfect for winter or taking the bike over cobbles or light gravel paths.

The SL 6 comes with mechanical Shimano Ultegra R8000 which as usual performed brilliantly with crisp and reliable shifting. The bike uses flat-mount Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes which really added to the feel on long or technical descents.

In terms of value I think the Domane SL 6 is in the expected range for what its offering, coming in £200 cheaper than the comparable Specialized Roubaix Comp for example. Although this isn't the kind of bike I would usually ride, I was genuinely taken with what the SL 6 offered with it's all-round capabilities.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M.
