The Trek Madone Gen 8 SRAM Red AXS from Lidl-Trek in detail

That the new Trek Madone Gen 8 from Lidl-Trek is one of the most beautiful bikes in the peloton is something that practically everyone agrees on. A machine that has taken the concept of aerolight bicycle to the extreme, managing to be as light as the now-disappeared Émonda and more aerodynamic than its predecessors. Discover all its details in the latest video published by SRAM.

Luxury setup by SRAM for the Trek Madone Gen 8 from Lidl-Trek

We can't deny it, we love the videos that have recently become popular in which teams show how one of their bicycles is assembled, step by step. Lidl-Trek didn't want to be left behind and has taken advantage of having a new bike with the new Trek Madone Gen 8 that the Wisconsin firm presented a few days before the 2024 Tour de France to, hand in hand with SRAM, the supplier of the groups for their bicycles, show us the "build" of one of the bicycles, specifically the one used by Mads Pedersen in the French race.

The SRAM video is perfect for appreciating every detail of the Trek Madone Gen 8 such as the lines of its IsoSpeed design or the aerodynamic bottle cages and bottles, as well as the new SRAM Red AXS. Additionally, for mechanical enthusiasts, a practical demonstration of the entire assembly process of the groups from the American firm and the necessary adjustments, both in the gears and in the brake bleeding process.

It is worth noting that the same assembly used by Lidl-Trek for the Trek Madone Gen 8 is available among the standard models of this new model, obviously, with a price in line with a true professional competition tool: €13,999
