No Compromises.
The Madone 5 Series no-compromise design approach and advanced materials strike the perfect balance between rider comfort and road feel. A fully adjustable no-cut seatmast, Net Molded bearing sockets, and an E2 Ride Tuned fork are a few of the innovative technologies that add up to the refined, confidence-inspiring performance that pros expect, and everyone else desires.
Seat Cap
25% lighter than traditional seatposts, a full 100mm of total height no-cut adjustability, and three different offset options. We just made getting the perfect fit even lighter
BB90™
Nearly all other frame designs on the road are restricted by the industry-standard 68mm bottom bracket shell. Not the Madone, which uses Net Molding carbon technology and Precision Fit Sockets to place the bottom bracket bearings directly in the frame itself. The result is an exclusive 90mm-wide bottom bracket (BB90) that provides a 48% increase in lateral down tube stiffness. And that means a faster-accelerating bike.
No-Cut Seatmast
Traditional seatpost systems place the clamping mechanism at high-stress points on the frame, requiring the seat tube to be overbuilt to withstand the rocking forces of the post. The Madone’s seatmast design solves this problem by moving the clamping mechanism above the stress zone. This not only achieves a 25% weight reduction compared to a standard carbon seatpost, but also allows the seat tube to flex in a more natural way, improving vertical compliance.
No90™/ E2 Fork
With standard 1-1/8” steer tubes, fork designers are forced to create abrupt, 90-degree bends where the fork crown transitions to the steer tube. To compensate for these weaker bends, forks are overbuilt for strength—which adds weight. Madone’s fork is different. It uses an oversized E2 1.5” lower steer tube that, combined with our No90 construction method, effectively removes the typical bends by allowing carbon fibers to run straighter and continuously through the entire fork. As a result we can use carbon’s inherent straight-line strength to create forks that are up to 120 grams lighter.
OCLV Black Carbon Frame
OCLV is Trek’s own combination of heat, pressure, materials, and experience that produces a vibration-damping, lightweight, wickedly strong composite ideal for bicycle construction. The 5 Series OCLV Black is Trek’s high-performance carbon fiber, employing intermediate-modulus carbon fiber and our time-tested lay-up schedules.
