(VIDEO) 2013 Trek Domane 2.0 is the Ultimate in High-Speed Cruising Comfort

The 2013 Trek Domane 2.0 an incredible bike named "Best Under £1000 (USD$1500)" [Bikeradar.com]

Trek domane 2.0:
  • Weight: 9.57kg
  • Frame: Aluminium
  • Fork: Carbon, alloy steerer
  • Groupset: Shimano Tiagra
  • Wheels: Bontrager alloy
Throughout the Domane range Trek have introudced their ‘IsoSpeed decoupler’ pivots - Instead of a fixed connection between top tube, seatstays and seat tube this new design allows the seat tube to bow back and forth in response to road or rider loads. A slimmed down pivot section at the top of the tube also means you get a more flexible skinny seatpost, while the Affinity saddle is generously padded too. The result is that the Domane 2.0 offers the ultimate in high-speed cruising comfort.
That's not all though, expect sweet handling, surefootedness and a chassis that is responsive under power.

By isolating the seat tube, the frame absorbs road shock, not your body. This means you'll ride faster for longer. IsoSpeed also improves handling and pedaling!A perfect match for the Domane frame, the IsoSpeed fork offers ride-smoothing compliance. Cornering precision and front-end stiffness are still exceptional.From the E2 head tube, to the BB90 bottom bracket, to the rear wheel, Trek's Power Transfer Construction turns every last bit of energy into forward motion.The 90mm wide bottom bracket lets Trek build the frame with larger tubes for increased power transfer. The bearings are housed in the frame which saves weight.

2013 Trek Road Bikes Grab Three Spots In Bicycle Top 14

Bicycling Magazine 2013 List of Top 14 Entry Level Road Bikes Includes Three from Trek 

 

Bicycling Magazine's Review of Trek CrossRip Elite


The CrossRip is as utilitarian as it is playful. The rack mounts and powerful disc brakes make it ideal for grocery runs and daily commuting. But the carbon fork and wide Bontrager tires dare you to explore beyond your town’s boundaries, whether you’re cruising a rail-to-rail trail or maple-lined forest roads.

The Defy Composite 3 feels lively and responsive, with a measure of damping to muffle energy-sapping road vibrations thanks to Giant’s frame construction. The geometry also contributes to the crisp ride. The Defy shares frame angles with the pricier Defy Advanced SL. Both have well-balanced handling—stable at speed, snappy in tight S- turns. But don’t expect to cut underneath a race bike in a corner—that’s not in the Defy’s character. It’s best for long rides at a comfortable pace.


Bicycling Magazine's Review of Trek Domane 4.0

 


Engineers working on endurance road models have a difficult mission: to create a frame that is comfortable to ride but that doesn’t waste any pedaling power. Trek takes a novel approach to this dilemma. The Domane’s IsoSpeed system isolates the seat tube from the down tube and seatstays—effectively putting a leaf spring between the seatpost and frame without compromising chassis stiffness. The same technology is used on some of Trek’s WorldTour models, but this version comes with less expensive Shimano Tiagra components.

Bicycling Magazine's Review of Trek 1.5



Anyone who has recently caught the cycling bug should enjoy this versatile, spry model from Trek. The aluminum frame comes with proven Shimano Tiagra components that keep the weight down. The compact crank offers lower gears to help you summit any hills in your path, and the frame comes in eight sizes—making it easy to find a good fit. Mount fenders and a rack to turn this into a fast commuter.

The 2013 Trek Domane 4.0. Want a Test Ride? Come to The Spoke Shop

The 2013 Trek Domane 4.0, PACKED with 

Features for the Avid Cyclist



The 2013 Trek Domane 4.0 is absolutely incredible. To start, it's fully carbon and is designed for the racers that want a bike that goes just as fast as any other bike. The Domane but is built for comfort, even over unforgiving cobblestone roads.

In order to fulfill the needs of these racers, Trek has been working around the clock for years. Their engineers have come up with a design called "isospeed." Isospeed means that the seat tube is completely isolated from the rest of the frame to make the seat mast act like extra suspension without compromising the stiffness of the frame.

The bottom bracket is stiff and wide, which aids in acceleration despite the extra backward flex allowed by the seat mast. It's always a hassle when your chain comes off of your crank, but this year Trek has introduced a "chain keeper" to keep your chain in place even when you are at the top of your cadence.

At the end of the day, this bike is as comfortable as a touring bike, yet as fast as a racing bike. There's nothing better that a good two-in-one.
