Spec Details
Are those new handlebars?
Good eye! Yes, Domane AL Gen 4 comes with all-new Bontrager Comp alloy handlebars that feature a shorter reach measurement (80mm), slightly shallower drop (121mm), and a 4mm total flare at the drops (2mm per side). Look at the Spec section on each bike’s Trekbikes.com page to see which bar is spec’d with which size bike.
Are the wheels tubeless compatible? What additional parts are required?
The wheels are tubeless compatible, but the tires and rim strips are not. To convert to tubeless, you’ll need to purchase tubeless ready tires, rim strips, valves, and sealant.
