This might be the most insane race bike I’ve ever seen. And probably the most expensive as well. It’s a Trek Madone SLR that was actually raced in the Tour de France by former World Champion Mads Pedersen and on which he won stage 8. In this video we weigh and measure it, listen to the freehub and go through all the quirky and cool features on it. And price it up as well if you wanted to buy it, which you unbelievably can.

Features and quirks but wear it measure it and see the free Hub sound like as well now this opportunity has been made possible by pelli the sponsor of the team with their range of tires so a big shout out to them for allowing me to film and share the bike with you today

Way the bike looks and it has to be the coolest paint job I’ve ever seen in all my years of cycling it looks fantastic and in the Sun at different angles it really really shines and really pops and I’d happy ride a bike and own a bike

With this paint job so underneath the paint is the new TR Mone SLR which I reviewed earlier this year and a very striking bike indeed all the arrow profiles a super narrow head tube and of course the Isis flow the hole in the seat tube claimed to improve the a

Performance of this new bike you can tell this is a Pro Race Bike by the size of the chaming it’s absolutely massive a gigantic 56 to combined with a smaller 43 inner chain ring and that massive chain ring in combination with a 10 to out back here gives a absolutely

Mind-blowing amount of speed when you rewind that gear up no wonder he won stage eight of this year’s taller France apart from that it’s a regular stram red EAP axer group set 1033 Outback flat top chain a 160 rotor up front and a smaller 140 on the back now stram bikes normally

Have 160 front and rear but here we have a smaller rear rotor presumably for weight saving nothing on the batteries hold them on which we often see on Pro race bikes and because this is bike number three of the three he had at the race we have a regular chain and

Cassette where some of the bikes he had featured a gold chain and a gold cassette which is something suram does for pro riders you can’t buy that it’s a PR level specification the Rolling Stock on this bike is a pair of Bond Trager airless RSL 62 Wheels a nice deep

Profile wide as well and these are pelli P0 race Clincher tires with smart inner tubes installed the team actually used a combination of clinchers which we have here tubis and very occasionally tubas but most of the time they are using clinchers with inner tubes or tubis depending on the racing they are doing

These by the way are a 28 M Wide Tire which in line with the tires that most of of us are now running even the pros are using wide tires because they believe the benefits of the Rolling resistance and attraction the wild Tire offers right time to measure the bike so

This is a size 58 and apparently mad Pon according to Wikipedia is 5′ 10 in which is a bit shorter than me and I normally run a size 56 so I’m not sure why he’s on a bigger frame maybe he has long legs well let’s find out so from the center

Of the crank up to the top of the saddle we have a measurement of 81 CM so clearly he has long legs and I can see from the cranks that he’s running 172.5 mm crank arms which is very very standard a really striking feature on this bike are the handlebars a one piece

Carbon Bar and stem they look really narrow so let’s get the tape measure on them and see what they actually are and Center Center very very narrow and the hoods as you can see are angled over as all the pros like to do to gain a few more watts

Of AOS saving we also have a long stem as well and that with a tape measure on I make it depending on where you call a center of this sweat back hanar 140 mm so a 14 cm stem and of course the hanle bars are slammed for maximum Arrow no spaces here

To speak off at all so very low and very aggressive and my back hurts just looking at the setup on this bike and how much would a bike like this cost well one of the beauties of cycling you can actually buy the same bikes the pros race so take the stock bike costing

£14,500 and add this amazing paint finish through project one for an optional extra £ 3,850 and then add some pedals a computer and Bott cages and you’re looking at £20,000 or if if you’re a pro it’s free before we find out how much this lovely bite weighs a few other details

That stand out he’s using a KH Mount set up for a wahoo bike computer his saddle of choice is a bond trigger verse Pro and the bottle cages have small tabs for extra secure bottle retention right let’s see what the bike actually weighs got my scales here I reset

Them it’s quite windy with which won’t help up we go and that is 7.35 kg for a size 58 with a sham red EAP access group set no pedals or computer but two bottle CES fitted so a long way from the U weight limit of 6.8

Kilos what do you think let me know by leaving a comment down below right for the final inspection of this lovely Pro Race Bike let’s hear the free Hub so let give the cranks a good old spin yeah that really really noisy what do you think let me know by leaving a
