Trek Madone 5.0 Road Bike

trek madone 5.0 carbon road bike

Trek's Madone 5.0 is made in the USA from their Tour de France-proven OCLV carbon for impressive lightness, awesome efficiency and precision handling. Plus, with carbon's inherent vibration damping and the Bontrager Race X Lite carbon fork, this bike is velvety smooth on even rough pavement. And, Bontrager's Race wheels get up to speed fast and are built to last. What's more, this thoroughbred boasts Shimano's beautiful 20-speed Ultegra component group for first-rate shifting and braking.

  • USER REVIEWS

Ultegra components, semi-stiff frame, comfortable setup, responsive and fast.

Weight - a bit of a pig at 19-20 lbs. Bontrager bars, stems, wheel set.

Great price for a bike with great Ultegra components. Frame takes a beating on the rough roads of PA - Very little play or vibration. Needs upgrade of stem, seatpost, handlebars, wheelset to lighten up considerably.

Geometry, handling and stiffness

Being a recreational rider first and foremost, I find this to be an excellent bike. Unlike many others I have also been happy with the Bontrager components although some them may contribute to the overall weight which I belive is a litte above average at this level. Still, the stiffness of the frame and the overall handling make this a very nice bike both for climbing and flat rides while it also feels comfortable after several hours of riding. If some of the componentry is replaced (which could be done fairly cheaply), you have in my opinion a bike just short of a top level racing bike although at an affordable price. Lastly, I replaced my Trek 2300 after one season in order to get a Madone basically because I wanted the full racing geometry. I have not regretted in for one second so far.

frameset groupo cost weight climbing sprinting

saddle, never liked bontrager saddles needs like lighter wheelset(but like i always say you get what you pay for) so cant complain. but other than those LOVE THIS BIKE!!!!

this is my first roadie, but working in a bike shop has given me a chance to demo alot of bikes and the new '08 madones, would have gotten a new one but the cost is pretty high for being 17 on a mechanic salery. but for the money i love my 5.0, sprinting and climbing is phenomenal, love the ultegra groupo. wish wheelset was a little, and higher end, want to upgrade to ksyrium elite. but by far best bang for the buck. great bike to get into, perfectly after being on a mtn. bike since i was ten

madone 5.9sl madone 5.2 my '87 lemond steel frame converted to single speed:)

Smooth ride, light, responsive, swift shifting. Just great.

Not that I can think off.

Great bike. I didn't want to seped so much but after riding this bike I realized that you get what you pay for. I really enjoy it. For $2000 it was a good deal and the bike is just amazing.

Frame geometry Tour proven frame Not made in china Feels smooth Bonty wheels don't mind big pot holes in road. Warranty Freewheels quietly Value for money

If not a lance fan it may sway your choice from buying a really great bike. Saddle Me Traditional straight top tube mightn't suit everyone. Tyres a bit slippery in wet. Painted finish could be better

What a great bike. Was initially looking at a Scott, but the equivalent was an additional $800. This came up on sale as a run out model when the new Madone was being launched. Best time to buy! The bike would have been good enough to win a Tour on a few years ago. Love the geometry, as soon as you get rolling you know it means business. Handling is point and shoot. Power transmission is great. Everything you put in to it you get a reaction from. I like the Bonty selection.This would have been pro level gear only a few years ago. The bike is really light, feels strong,nimble and forgiving.The only thing that limits you spending more time on it,is your schedule. Otherwise ride it all day, every day. I can't imagine the next level[5.5]to be signicantly better, unless you want to get into racing.Probably overkill for the average rec. cyclist. The bike feels like it wants you give it your very best every time you ride it, so keep an eye on your HR monitor! Comming from down tube shifters, i find the Ultegra STI amazing, seamless shifting, quiet and reliable. Select, and bang in it goes, even on standing accellerations.

Centurion,shimano 105, 4130n frame. Custom alloy frames

Good frame, brand, and component package for the price.

Good bike overall. However(!), my left non-drive chainstay pulled out 1cm from the dropout after 4 weeks of riding- not good. The bike was warrantied, but Jax replaced the complete bike when the process was taking so long.

Good light bike, good carbon frame-MADE IN THE USA,good components (full ultegra), good geometry, and reasonably spec'd bike at a great price. I was looking for a bike I would not HAVE to upgrade parts on over a year. This is the lowest of the made in USA Madones. It rides well, did my first century on it, it's a bike I would recommend to others.

none- first road bike for a serious mountain biker.

Very good value for the money, good frame geometry(makes all the diffrence), reliable ultegra 2007 group

not a very light carbon bike, the Bontrager low end components (saddle bar and stem are really crappy)

I`ve recently purchesed the trek madone 5.0, mostly because it was on sale far a great price, 1500 euro(aprox 2000$), what could beat that offer for a new bike!?!The first thing that striked me while riding it was, the cornering capability, most bikes i`ve ridden had problems at high speed turns. The geometry of madone frames is great indeed.The frame is very stiff in power transfer. The only weak part of the bike are the Bontrager cheap low end, wheels and parts (got rid of them, I`m using fsa carbon parts)

Various steel, aluminium and alu+carbon bikes

Frame & Fork Full Ultegra groupo

Bontrager stock componants

This is a great bike for the price. The geometry is full race and it lives up to the task. Tough to beat this price for a full carbon full Ultegra machine!!! Which is why I purchased it. This is my first road bike since 97' and I didn't feel like building one from the ground up and you can't beat this for the cost. Handling is superb since I got a complete retro-fit right away. it is very easy to lighten it up with a few simple upgrades. It absorbs road vibrations extremely well and accelerates fassst! so stiffness is great!

old 97 GT road bike...that's it! so take this review for what its worth. I did race a Trek Pro Issue carbon mtn hardtail for years so I knew the trek rep for carbon frames.

Stiff frame, light weight looks Good, good components

Tires, I had lot's punctures Seat, I could never get used to it

After much research I chose the Trek Madone 5.0 because of the quality and price. This is the first carbon frame that was stiff enough for my weight 250lbs. I have tried Felt, Bianchi, and Kona. To me this bike had the best ride quality and stiffness. It comes with full Ultegra drive train, Bontrager Race wheels, Bontrager Race bars, stem, seatpost and seat. The only parts I changed off the bat where the tires, and saddle. It's perfect for my commute and weekend rides. Also they had this model on sale with a program called hit the road it was like $300.00 off.

Felt, Bianchi, Kona.

Trek Madone 5.2 and 5.2 Pro

So what’s the difference between them? Hold your horses, we’re coming to that. Essentially, the 5.2 Pro has a more race-centric (did we just make that word up?) fit. Our 56cm model has a 140mm head tube compared to 170mm on the standard version for a lower ride position, and a slightly extended reach thanks to a 10mm longer stem. Plus, the 5.2 Pro has a traditional chainset while the straight 5.2 is fitted with a compact for a lower range of gears. However all the angles on both of the bikes are the same performance-oriented build, according to Trek both the bike's should interact with the road in the same way, what's different is the way the bike fits the rider: the Pro is essentially a performance bike with performance geometry and performance fit and the standard Madone is a performance bike with performance geometry, but with a less full-on fit.

So, the standard 5.2 has a more relaxed, sportive-friendly setup – what Trek call their Performance fit, the same as last year’s 5.2 – while the Pro is aimed more at racers.

trek madone 5.0 carbon road bike

What’s different?

The 5.2s haven’t altered massively from last year’s models although they do now come with replaceable gear hangers; it’s a whole lot easier to fit a new hanger than to have your frame repaired should it all go horribly wrong. And the hanger is longer than before so it’ll take a larger cassette – up to 28T if you like (a handy bail out gear for the hills if you went for the Pro and its standard 53-39).

Routing to both the front mech and the rear brake has been improved and the colour schemes have been altered, but apart from that Trek have left things pretty much alone this time around.

So what are they like to ride?

The Madones are quick… very quick. Climb aboard and stomp on the pedals and you’re rewarded with a remarkable turn of speed. Maybe it’s just us, but with chunky tubes throughout we’ve always thought that the Madones look pretty heavy. They’re not. Far from it. Our straight 5.2 (56cm model) hit the scales at 7.64kg (16.8lb) while the 5.2 Pro was 7.58kg (16.7lb). And that lack of weight is evident immediately as you accelerate fast up through the gears.

trek madone 5.0 carbon road bike

All manufacturers go on about how incredibly stiff their bottom brackets are but with the Madones it really is true… Rather than using a standard system where the bottom bracket bearings screw into but sit outside the frame’s BB shell, Trek house them inside a wider (90mm) shell and place them directly next to the bare carbon. This saves a little weight and also means that you get a colossal junction area where the down tube, seat tube and seat stays meet, so even when you turn on your best crank-bending power, that bottom bracket isn’t going anywhere.

The Q factor – the distance between the cranks – remains standard. And replacing the bearings when they wear out won’t be a problem: common standard-sized bearings to fit Shimano, SRAM, Bontrager, Campag and FSA are available.

With a 30mm shorter head tube and a 1cm longer stem, the 5.2 Pro puts you into a flatter and more aerodynamic ride position than the standard 5.2. You certainly feel that it’s a lower, head-led set-up. And with your body accounting for much more drag when you’re riding than the bike itself, that’s an important consideration if every second counts for you.

In other words, you will go a little faster on the Pro… as long as you’re comfortable in the more aggressive position. If you find it too low and start getting backache, the speed advantage quickly diminishes. It’s not like the Pro has an extreme ride position, though. Most people will get on with it fine. It’s more a question of ride character: do you want racy or slightly more relaxed? You pays your money and you takes your choice on that one.

Whichever model you go for, the 5.2s offer a stable, planted ride and a generous helping of ‘give’ in the frame keeps poor road surfaces from leaving you battered and bruised. Trek reckon this has a lot to do with their seat mast design – a carbon sleeve that clamps to the outside of the extended seat tube. Unlike some other systems, it doesn’t require cutting to length – which saves you some work and is handy if you ever want to sell the bike on. You choose from two different seat mast lengths and three different offsets in order to get the right fit.

The seat mast design requires only 30mm of overlap with the frame and it doesn’t need to be overbuilt and so, as well as saving weight, it can flex more than in a traditional system. It also means that, if you haven’t got one already, you should invest in a torque wrench because you really want to get the clamping bolts tightened just right to prevent any damage.

trek madone 5.0 carbon road bike

This all results in smooth ride quality meaning that not only do you continue feeling good at the end of long rides, you can carry on getting the power in when your ride-mates are wilting. And that’s always good news.

Hit the hills and the lack of weight helps the Madones stay ahead of the pack. Bontrager’s Race Lite wheels are reasonably – though not incredibly – stiff and they’re lightweight (1,015g f, 1,417g r, complete with skewers and tyres fitted). The18 flat bladed spokes up front and 20 at the rear held the rims straight throughout testing too – no drama there.

The slightly lower front end of the 5.2 Pro means you can get right over the top to wrestle it about that little bit easier on the killer gradients, but you might prefer the gearing of the straight 5.2 when things get really steep. Although both come with Shimano Ultegra SL cranks, the 5.2’s is a compact with 50/34T chainrings up front and a 12-25T cassette (it’s also available as a 52/39/30 triple); the Pro model comes with a traditional 53/39T setup matched to an 11-25T cassette. So, if you struggle on the climbs or you just want the confidence of low gears for winching up the steep stuff late in the day, the straight 5.2 could be the one for you.

Those Ultegra SL gears, second in Shimano’s groupset hierarchy behind Dura-Ace, worked flawlessly throughout testing. Lightweight and simple to use whether you’re on the hoods or the drops, they’re hard to fault, and the ice grey looks add a little something too.

trek madone 5.0 carbon road bike

Both bikes are excellent descenders largely thanks to the Bontrager Race X Lite fork which holds things steady through tight twists and turns. Built with carbon legs and crown, it’s very light weight and the lower section of the aluminium steerer is 1 1/2in in diameter rather than the usual 1 1/8in for added strength and rigidity. Steering is super-accurate so you get the confidence to abandon caution and attack everything full-on. Even hard braking at the last second isn’t a problem – and the Ultegra SL callipers pack a lot of power.

Both Madones offer an excellent blend of speed and comfort with genuine performance innovations like the integrated bottom bracket system and the aero seat mast design setting the bikes apart from the crowd. Two-and-a-half grand is a lot to spend on an Ultegra SL-equipped rig but you are getting a pretty special frame and forks package here. Should you go for the straight 5.2 or the Pro version? We’d be on the Pro because we prefer both the more racy geometry and the bigger gearing, but if you are a compact fan, and there are a few of them around here, and want a more standard set-up the straight 5.2 is the sound choice.

This is one of the finest reviews I have seen yet on the Madone, or any bike for that matter. It mentions the technical details but doesn't feature them. Instead this review gives a more practical overview of the bike as it pertains to the rider. It's nice to know about the unique seat mast design and the internal BB system but what does that mean to the rider in terms of feel, fit, finesse, and efficiency? Instead of dazzling us with technical jargon, this review nails down what the rider needs to know to make a decision. Kuddos to the reviewer for a nicely written piece.

This review is spot on - the madone is a comfortable, yet light and responsive bike.

three things though - a) the 12cm standard seastmast has a limited range, and if you need the 16cm seatmast to gain a correct fit - budget £120 for this.

b) I'm surprised you didn't mention the uncomfortable racelite saddle that comes with it - this was the first thing I changed. Even a £20 charge spoon will be better.

c) my madone had an annoying 'crack' from the BB area when applying force to the pedals - this seems to have disappeared after the LBS regreased the bearings, but others have had similar problems.

nevertheless, relatively small niggles in an otherwise excellent bike.

Trek Madone 5.2 review

We really like the old Madone, the new 5.2 is even better

trek madone 5.0 carbon road bike

The Madone has undergone many changes in its four-year history, but this is the first major redesign since Lance Armstrong rode the first one to victory in the 2003 Tour de France.

The new Madone 5.2 is a completely new ride and one that looks set to be a prominent stage winner well into the future. It couldn't have got off to a better start with Contador winning the 2007 Tour De France on a relabelled 5.2.

Geometry remains the same, Trek weren't bold enough to mess with the measurements of the original, and we're glad they didn't, because the stable character of the old bike is what made it so popular. But what a different machine it is. The biggest difference comes from the overall increase in stiffness, especially at the front. It's also lighter; integrating the bottom bracket, headset, fork and seatmast and using 40 per cent fewer joints helps shed valuable grams (Trek claim it's 250g lighter).

That increased stiffness does not rob the frame of any comfort. The bike felt incredibly comfortable and sure-footed. Even after six hours in the saddle the only ache was coming from weary legs. It's hard to break the Madone from its stable line, and it holds on to the road incredibly well. In the presentation, Armstrong even likened it to the feel you get from riding a motorbike.

Thankfully, that solid feel doesn't rob the bike of any life. Shift into race mode and the all-round stability and unshakable front encourages an aggressive style and dares you to challenge the bike's underlying stability. Simply put, the new Madone is lighter, stiffer and faster.We really like the old Madone, the new one is even better.

The new Madone 5.2 had to be something special and one that built on previous versions. Three years in development, Trek's approach was to build a totally new platform. Gone is the forward sloping top-tube that had fans and detractors in equal numbers. The top-tube now slopes the usual way and brings the design in line with other compact frames. OCLV (optimum compaction low void) stays, as does the bonded, lugged construction, with fewer joints, meaning less weight.

Naming the range has been simplified, from the old OCLV 55, 110, 120 GSM (grams per square metre) grading to a simpler OCLV Red, OCLV Black, OCLV White, Red being the most expensive, high modulus carbon, through to OCLV White, which uses standard-modulus carbon. All red and white frames are made in the USA.

Bottom bracket

The new Madone is centred around the core of the frame's seat cluster, seat-tube and bottom bracket shell, and has been designed to bolster front-end stiffness. Trek have done this by getting rid of the standard BB shell and have gone for an integrated bottom bracket design; 90mm wide, it does away with external bearing cups - instead, integrated bearings sit directly against the carbon shell.

Crank compatibility isn't an issue as all crank configurations are catered for, Q-factor (distance between pedals) is also unaffected. It's a simple and neat solution and gives designers more freedom to experiment with oversized tube profiles. It's a bigger, stiffer and lighter bottom bracket assembly.

Front end and fork

One of the most noticeable changes from the old Madone is the increase in front-end stiffness. The contoured down-tube flows from the wide BB shell and curves into an oversized head-tube.

Like the bottom bracket shell, the design integrates bearings directly against and into the carbon frame. The Precision Fit Sockets (Trek's technical term) are moulded in at the same time as the tubes, which eliminates the need for secondary machining or the bonding of alloy inserts into the frame like the old Madone.

The oversized head-tube uses a 1.5-inch lower bearing (the same size as downhill mountain bikes) and a more standard 1-1/8-inch bearing for the upper assembly.

Gone is the seatpost in favour of a mast. The added advantage of the Madone's mast over other similar bikes (Look, Time, Ridley) is that this one doesn't need cutting to size. Instead, a cap with seat clamp sits atop the mast and can be adjusted for height. Available in two sizes, 120mm and 160mm, the system has the same height range as the old Madone with its 250mm seatpost.

The seatmast design on high-end carbon frames could well be the standard in the near future. Not only does it allow designers to shed a bit of weight but it also does away with the need for a traditional round seat-tube. This permits more complex tube profiles. The Madone's seatmast has a slight curve to it and the design of the clamp moves the mast away from stress areas and also imparts a degree of flex for added comfort.

Race and Performance fit >The new Madone will be available in two frame types. The geometry stays the same but the fits change. The Race fit has a lower head-tube, whereas the Performance fit gains 30mm in height to bring you more upright. If you're more of an all-round, high mileage sort of rider we would recommend going for the Performance fit over the Race. Women-specific WSD models also feature a shorter top-tube.

Verdict >From our experience Trek have brought the Madone into a new era. The dullness of the original model has been banished and the only minor criticism of the bike is that it looks a bit like a Specialized or Orbea but the similarty stops there.
