The Madone SL 5 Gen 8 is a lightweight, aerodynamic road bike with top-of-the-line racing technology at a more affordable price. It offers similar aerodynamic advantages to the more expensive Madone SLR Gen 8 models, but is made from more affordable 500 Series OCLV™ carbon and features a two-piece cockpit with hidden cable routing. The Shimano 105 groupset, which continues to deliver reliable mechanical shifting, alloy handlebars, and alloy wheels make this model more affordable.Our lightest Madone SL Disc yetFeaturing new lightweight, fast, and aerodynamic tubing made from lighter, yet more affordable 500 Series OCLV™ carbon, Gen 8 is our lightest Madone SL Disc and the ultimate climber's bike.

Redefining what speed looks like
The revolutionary new Full System Foil tube shape improves airflow throughout the entire bike while maintaining the lightness that climbers crave. What's more, the entire rider system has been carefully designed and thoroughly tested to be faster everywhere.

IsoFlow is now 80% more vertical compliance
We've also refined our race comfort technology and nearly doubled vertical compliance, so you can sustain higher power outputs for longer.

Born from racing
The fastest sprinters and climbers on the Lidl-Trek team contributed their ideas to the design of the Madone SL.

Adjustable aerodynamic cockpit
The Madone Gen 8 is narrower at the levers than at the arches, so you can adjust your position on the fly to maximize aerodynamics or power. The two-piece design allows for quick and easy adjustments.

Additional aerodynamic bottles make the bike even faster
The design of the additional aerodynamic bottles and RSL baskets matches the aerodynamic shapes of the Madone Full System Foil, making the entire system around the rider even faster.

Road bike size update
We've updated and unified our sizes and reduced overlap to accommodate an even wider range of riders and make your selection easier.

Shimano 105
With shifting technology inherited from the mechanical versions of Ultegra and Dura-Ace, Shimano 105 offers top-of-the-line shifting at an affordable price. Whether you commute year-round or train for big races, the extremely powerful Shimano 105 drivetrain won't hold you back as you grow as an athlete.

Don't forget the pedals
This bike does not come with pedals, because you'll ride better on a new bike when you choose your own pedals. Check out our pedal guide and choose the ones that suit your riding style. We recommend road pedals with cleats for better control and performance.
