2010 Trek Madone 6 Series

[120buach]

It's not about the performance enhancing drugs - well not until they catch you anyway.

[120buach]

i really hate lance. such a dick. a fit one - but still a dick. hey lance - got any epo??

[mark12130]

i dont understand why people pay 8000 dollors or 9000 dolors on racin bikes?? i mean with that money i could by a high performance v8 engine or a automibile with that money....

[MarsJohny]

i think , the players is engine ,so ...what you will chose your bike

[MarsJohny]

bb90 ?! it even fit for SHIMANO .

[Bhousm76]

:06 looks more like a speed concept tri than a madone.

[WestwoodRoadBike]

Go to my channel to see where the Madone ranks on all the trek bikes of 2010:)

[rickenboi]

Madone for sure!! i found the SL3 to be too heavy in the mountians for long climbing!!! the trek is about 600gms lighter and much better on the descents!! it loves cornering!!! FAST!!!

[bearmare]

* EPO not included.

[rickenboi]

in Australia, this cost me 11,500. but the ride quality is worth it!!!

[coolio666667777]

What bike is better, a Specialized Tarmac or the Trek Madone?

[25jonathan]

i love gear. and i love cycling. so naturally i love high tech bikes and i love adjusting them and ride them. but we all have to admit: its the legs that matter. a friend of mine is a great cyclist and he can kick my ass any day on his old trek bike ^^

[abaddonsun]

sorry

[rickenboi]

i am the proud owner of a 2010 6.9 Madone and a Sworks SL3 in the Saxo Bnak colours!!! The trek is hands down the best bike i have ever ridden!! and ive ridden some beauties!!! Prince, Colnago etc!!!!

Ride Trek or Die!!!

[oitotheworld23]

@rickenboi Care to tell how much they cost?

[iwuvpanda]

i want a guru! those things are the only low-profile carbon frames i can think of. by the way, i have an older model madone 5.2, and it's magnificent. A lot of people dislike Trek because of how mainstream it is and its associations with Armstrong, but Trek makes really good bikes.

[MrExplorer7]

I own the 2010 Trek 1.2 Compact, maybe someday a Madone. Awesome video

[chowychow]

Cervelo is a good choice too.

[contreras81]

you better get a colnago or pinarello

[HybridSprinter08]

@contreras81 go with the Pinerello FP7!

[contreras81]

my uncle got a pinarello prince white/red/black with campagnolo record group really nice bike

what's about bianchi or wilier triestina?

trek bikes aren't but i'm just too italian to buy one, I percieve them as prosaic bikes if that makes any sense

[DJtaka86]

The new frame are only for 6 series

The 5 series frames are still the same as 2009

FYI there is no special frame for 6 series WSD - only special colors

The 4.5 has not changed but still takes the fork of a 2009 5/6 series bike.

[SophistAtheist]

DOPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[dahgutone]

Well theres alot of Pro bikes out there that are well ridin in the Pro Tours that cost 2-3k less than what Lance is riding.

[crazy4her]

can I have one please trek?

[daFranch1se69]

**DROOL**

wow, when I gather the income a new madone will be one of my main goals to buy after my car (Corvette). That bike must be the most amazing thing on the planet.

[Jur0]

yea... until the next year...

[TMBification]

My dream bike. :-)

(I can't afford it)

[msproule]

I like the company soooo much, I own 10 percent of it!

[Bosy010]

dam thats one nice bike

[SophistAtheist]

and you can buy it for under 9000 dollars!

[calabrais]

I like the way he shook his head "no" at the end when he said he would be sitting on a Trek for the rest of his life. Subliminal body language!

[LUIZAT2004]

what is the difference madone 6.9 pro 2009 and 2010?

[dahgutone]

Complete redesign. Lighter frame and a netmolded bearing in the fork.

It's just slightly lighter like 5% stiffer laterally. But nothing much. Integrated speed and cadence sensor is just another luxury you really dont need.

[artshop1321]

nice bike

[ScabbyNubtail]

"I'll be sitting on a Trek....for as long as they pay me"

[SophistAtheist]

lol

[daFranch1se69]

lol, so right. I want to test ride a trek, I hope they are as good as specialized bikes.

[Jur0]

If they are better? lol obviously the best bikes out there. Lets just say trek company gets a lil more income a year than other companies out there :P

BUT at pro tour level, none of that matters, the bikes are 98% similar, all that matters are the riders and good supportive help from the cars.

[mrdysgo]

Exactly. No bike out there can make a great cyclist. The rider is the most important "machine".

[THETRUTHISLIKESOAP]

Which bike do you ride?

With so much choice I don't know what to get!!

[25jonathan]

@mrdysgo yeah, very true. but i think i would feel a great difference if i changed my 10 year old cannondale to this madone xD

[alfredinni]

@mrdysgo you are right in 50%...Machine (bike) is the other 50% of the ecuation to be a greater cyclist...no matter how good you are, you need great components to maximize your performance

[zazenzach]

@mrdysgo

yep, thats when the athlete turns to juice and other various doping methods.

[HariVIyer]

@mrdysgo Rider is the engine; bike is the chassis. Both components are important, and neither's performance can be maximized if the other component is sub-par.

[Run4allLife]

@ScabbyNubtail hahahaha lol

[snifnscratch]

Is the 6 series still made in the US ?

[dahgutone]

All the Madone models are made in the US.

[smphares]

I beg to differ. My 4.5 was made in friggin Taiwan! Only the higher end Madones are made in the states. I was pissed!

[dahgutone]

LOL TCT carbon @ 2k. Of course it's going to be made in a asian based country. Pretty much any carbon frame below 3k is made in asia.

[dodoslovensko]

@smphares i have 5200 from 1995 back then it was still made in usa.

[taylorstrawbridge]

if you did research before you purchased you would have known that...

[smphares]

i did know that. its the point that even trek outsources their work, and that is whats wrong with this country.

[iwuvpanda]

@smphares trek still makes higher end bikes and components in Wisconsin. No large-scale bicycle-manufacturer makes all of its bikes domestically. Even cannondale makes its lower-end bikes in Asia. I agree with you, yes, that this is a bad practice that hurts our economy, but you can't specifically call trek out for it.

[neodarkain]

@iwuvpanda Giant makes every single one of their bikes domestically 

[nixternal]

@neodarkain That's why my Giant says 'Made in Taiwan'. But I guess if you live in Taiwan, then yes they would all be made domestically.
