Trek Domane - The Best Bike For Climbing Hills 

Another great vid mate 💪🏼💪🏼🚴🏼‍♀🚴🏼‍♀

Great video, Russ. And Kudos for starting that climb and managing to talk at the same time as it's a beast. No doubt you've done it the other way - that descent is wicked and the road surface being really good makes it all the more enjoyable.

Great vid Russ and an inspiration to keep pressing on those hills! Your Domane reviews helped me decide to buy my SL 7 Gen4 and lije you, I love it. Agree, whilst comfortable, tge tyres feel sluggish, though i dont want to reduce comfort so still looking for alternatives. Yes, the stock saddle is a good shape but numbing on longer rides due to its thick foam. I think Trek expect people to swap it out so out a basic one on it. I went fir the Ergon ST all road and its a brilliant match. Also found the same with the handlebar, not really ergonomic enough. I swapped this for a Pro PLT Carbon and some better tape. All in all it’s a great set up and i’m not sacrificing too much compared to my old aggressive Bianchi racer. But is it worth the money Trek ask - well prices have come down as there’s a worldwide surplus of bikes. Its the only way i could afford one!

Thanks for the video. I am also a "heavyweight" weight, my weight is 105 kg. and I'm considering purchasing the Trek Domane SL6. What can I say, you convinced me to take the big step towards carbon. My current bicycle is an aluminum Trek 2000, it has now had its day, giving me great satisfaction. Thank you, the lands of Tuscany are waiting for me with the new Trek.

Great video Russ, just subscribed. I bought the Domane Al5 Gen 3 as a winter bike. I wanted the 105 disc and it came in quite cheap end of season at £1600. My first thoughts were it is a smidge heavy at 10.1k, my gravel bike is about the same. The geometry is really nice. Much more up right. It's a good chose for all day in the saddle. My other ride is a tarmac which is almost 3 kg lighter but will probably move it on next year. Might look for the Domane SL with a better groupset. Great bike, thanks for the review. 🚴🏼🚴🏿‍♀️👍

Great vid Russ well done. 👌

Nice editing mate - top vid

Great video 😊 It looks like it’s you getting the bike up the hill, not the bike getting you up the hill 😂

Picking up my SL 5 Gen 4 on Wednesday- really looking forward to it - coming from a Specialised Allez Sport so I am hoping it will be more comfortable so I can ride longer.

Great content. You are a natural in front of the camera.

Great video. The Trek Domane "RSL" gen 4 is the most aggressive Domane, and is only available as a frame set. The RSL model is a better climbing bike than an SL and SLR Domane. It is the frame of choice of the Trek-Segafredo pros and has won the Paris-Roubaix. I have a Madone Gen 7, and am about to buy a Domane. I am still saving up. Congrats on your new Domane.

Enjoyed your video, like the honesty of it, the fact that you're blowing out your a**e on your ride.......!! Although I am looking at the SL6 to replace my 6 year old Defy Advanced, you have another subscriber!

My new Domane coming this weekend. So excited!!!

Great video, especially from someone who has also just got a Trek Domane! Really interested to hear from you how much better your changed wheels were compared to the originals? For someone used to 25mm tyres, the 32mm standard do feel a bit sluggish

Mega effort!

New subscriber, new potential cycler doing all kinds of research to learn more and seriously considering the Domane. You mentioned different handle bars to reduce reach. I noticed the stem looked quite long. Is a shorter stem also an option to reduce reach? Be curious on your thoughts….and a test to see if some of what I am researching is sinking in!

Hi from canada ok i'll subscribe

Hi Russ,im in a similar boat to you.Ive had a ribble slr endurance for some time.But as i get older im looking for something more relaxed.Did you notice much difference in the performance between the domane and ribble.

Nice video. Regards

What is the weight of a Trek Domane AL 5 2024? You have two Trek's on the video so perhaps you know this one too. I cannot seem to find the weight other places.

I have the trek fx 3 and recently bought a second 2021 trek fx sport 4 carbon. I could never get comfortable on the drop bars , I rented a domane , but I had rented a 56 , maybe 58 would have been better (6 feet, 33 inch inseam)

Cover the wheel setup please.

Mate is this bike worth the buy. I've got a scott addict rc pro di2. And 60 mm mavic comete pro carbon wheels. But was told these r comfortable to ride

is this e bike or just tuff cycle only

If you build it with GRX 46/30 to 40t cassette it will climb up any hill.😂
