Trek Madone Gen 8 on a B Group ride .
many people are talking about just how fast and capable the new Trek madone gen 8 is, But how comfortable is it for a b group rider? Well, Bart slowed it down today and joined the Gulf Coast Bicycle Club On their mid-year party ride which was not a race. conclusion is that you might as well buy yourself some speed and make these rides more enjoyable because yes, this bike is very comfortable and fast. #bicycleculture #trekmadonegen8 #roadbike #fastbike #roadracer

    Great information. I just bought two AIMA e-bikes yesterday. Got the Big Sur for myself and a Big Sur Sport for my wife. Bought them from a local shop that just got some in. Apparently, they are flying off the shelves. I have only ever bought bikes from local shops, because of the support issue.

    Great video! I just looked at our area, the closest Canyon authorized repair center is a 3.5 hour drive. It’s incredible how many people don’t understand that if they buy the bike online they are putting their local bike shops at risk. The customer might save a few nickels up front, but they end up paying in lost time and $$$ over the life of the bike. I’d love to hear your thoughts about TREK offering consumer direct. Thanks for making this video.

    Thank you for the honest review of this e-bike. Nice to see that canyon put integrated front & rear lights on this bike, because a lot of high-end e-bike companies skimp on that feature! Do you know how hard it is to pull out the battery on this bike for servicing/replacement down the road?

    19 pounds for a 54/56cm? That’s not as light as I expected. Definitely need to get that into the 17’s. Honestly the ‘aero’ shtick the industry has been pushing is tired….98% of riders won’t notice a difference. T. Pog himself? Yes he would notice. The bike does have a distinctive look though. Glad that you’re enjoying it. Trek always makes solid bikes. Ride on. ☮️🤘🏻🚴🏻‍♂️

    • @Millicente
      @Millicente 16 днів тому

      If you say they won’t notice when many people can notice the speed and the holding of that speed from an aero bike, the same can be said of weight. 300g of weight between a top frame and budget frame. A kilo? How many people need that kilo shaved? The aero will serve them better

    I'd take the Gen 8 SL7, size M for my height at 5'6" (yeah, I'm short); your willpower was strong to adhere to the information embargo ... the new frame profiles would have drawn the attention of eagle-eyed, cycling aficionados. do you think there would be substantial price discounts for remaining Gen 7 models (if any are still available)?

    • @TheBicycleRider
      @TheBicycleRider 16 днів тому

      Yes the Gen 6 will be sold at a discount. As a dealer there is very little margin already . The bike is about as low priced without your local dealer losing money. It's a great value

    Hey man thanks a lot I was looking to a review of this colorway, they didn’t had it yet in the shop here, just other colorways and I was not sure which one to get yet, apart from that I am very confused because I can get for the same price a new emonda SLR 7 AXS which is usually 8500 Euro at the moment, of which I like the colorway as well ( black prismatic) So I am choosing in between a Madone SL 6 gen8 ( I would add up aero bar n aero wheels n a axs from the dealer) same color as yours probably Or a emonda SLR 7 AXS black prismatic ( it’s not in the shop but new still with warranty etc.) For both I would pay very similar / same prices in total. What would you suggest me, I would really appreciate a neutral answer which is reliable, because I am super overwhelmed and I need experts which give me the right advice.. thank you so much, I waited long to get a proper road bike and I don’t want to make the wrong choice

    I'm sorry but I can't agree with you on ONLY buying an e-bike from a brick and mortar store. There are advantages and disadvantages to both brick and motar and online purchases. I've bought over 14 e-bikes online since 2012 and haven't had any problems getting parts exception is when covid hit the world. You do have a point on many e-bike makers though, if they dont support their e-bikes they sell that is a disaster down the road for the consumer. I just purchased the Velotric discover 2 one of the most popular commuter e-bikes being sold now. That is my two cents and I hope your business thrives without having to work on direct to consumer e-bikes. I feel you are also missing out on many opportunities by cutting out direct to consumer e-bikes but I also understand your point not fixing certain models too.

    I've had this bike for 3 months now and I love it. I did 3 minor modifications. First, I reversed the stem as I felt a little too upright. Then, I switched out the grips for an ergonomic grip/bar end combo to have an extra hand position. Lastly, I switched out the tires for the Specialized S-Works Pathfinder 2bliss 44mm. Light, fast rolling with good puncture resistance. This bike flat out flies on the tarmac. Very lively acceleration. Very smooth and comfortable on gravel. Handles well on easy, flowy singletrack. Had it on cobblestone roads in St. Augustine. It dampened the bumps nicely. Also, climbs like a billy goat. Shifting and braking are quite respectable. It is a do it all bike for me these days. And IMO, a good value.
