Shimano’s reliable Ultegra hydraulics take care of braking. So beware: if you take it way off the beaten track, you may want to beef up its boots. Its rough-crushing abilities did result in me taking it beyond its edge, however a 30+mph gravelly descent ended in a torn sidewall. You enjoy the same smooth ride over rougher surfaces, and same assured and swift cornering. The Aeolus Pro 3V wheels have great build quality and an excellent modern shape, with a 25.2mm internal rim width that plumps up the tubeless 32c tyres to near 35mm.Ĭomfort is what the Domane is all about in its ‘standard’ trim and Trek has mirrored it here, even accounting for the extra 2.9kg of motor system. Trek’s component partner, Bontrager, provides every other element of the bike. The LT 7 comes with the superb Ultegra Di2, featuring a gear range of 50/34, 11-34 that’ll suit most riders and ease you up any slope, even without the Fazua assistance. This design locks in the steerer tube laterally, but allows the steerer to flex fore-and-aft as you ride over bumps. Up front, the IsoSpeed takes a different form, where a traditional headset is replaced with a rocker cup.
The big-volume tubeless tyres play their part, too.Īs a reminder, IsoSpeed is essentially a pivot (or ‘decoupler’, as Trek terms it) that replaces a traditional join between top and seat tubes, and provides a suspension-like softness to the bike’s rear without compromising bottom-bracket stiffness. Its on-road manners impress, while plush IsoSpeed front and rear design means it can hold its own with the best electric gravel bikes on light gravel. The Domane is the ideal choice for e-assistance because the chassis is highly versatile.
