But if you look at the aero charts from Trek about the Madone GEN 8, you only need to get the bottles and the cages for the GEN 7 and you are faster with the old model. It is comparable to the SL7 and the SL8 ... when you buy the Roval Rapid Cockpit and mount it at the SL7 you are almost even with the aero claims/charts from Sworks... - so hilarious!
The Venge vias is still Specialized fastest bike ever all around, same for the Gen 7 Madone here, the caviat being on courses that are mostly big climbs where the bike weight taxes the rider, but pure aero is still faster
can you look at the bicycle station vid on the new madone. proper way to do a review. sorry but you just read the marketing material no insight on the new model
You do realise that this is an unboxing and introduction video? I can’t really review it until I’ve ridden it. For the first couple of bikes that I see all I have to talk about is what I’ve been told by Trek. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of my own opinions once I’ve actually been on one
I honestly think this is Trek's nicest madone for a long time. Possibly since the 2016 model. Looks class 👌
I’m not sure that I prefer it to the Gen7 but it’s growing on me 😊
Come on guys. It's an unboxing video not an introduction or review. You're doing good Rob 👍🏻 your videos have become better in fact!
Still a newbie to the whole UA-cam thing Justin. Videos probably need more accurate descriptions 😊 and thanks for the positive feedback 👍👍
do the new bottles fit in the size small? I'm sure they do, but how bad is it?
We haven’t had a small frame size built up yet but will check the fit when we do
@@Wheelworxrob thanks rob. Starting to see a lot of madone content but somehow haven't seen a single small yet on the Internet!
We have both small and XS on the way so I’ll rectify that 😎

I guess lot of people will put the aero bottles on their older models

What are those wheels in the background?
They’re Bontrager Aeolus RSL’s. The colours are the reflections from the light
