Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Trek Domane Gen 4. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
16 reasons to buy
- Trek's Domane Gen 4 comes in 2 SLR builds (800 series OCLV carbon, SRAM RED AXS) and 2 SL builds (500 series OCLV, Shimano drivetrains).
- An expert savors the quick, balanced steering thanks to the relatively short wheelbase.
- Testers say the IsoSpeed decoupler and relaxed geometry make riding in the drops more comfortable and long days in the saddle easy.
- Experts praise the frame’s compliance, stiff wheels, and large tires for providing confidence in fast corners but not being upset by bumps.
- One tester says the Domane handles as well on the road as the best road bikes.
- An expert relishes the Domane’s climbing ability, thanks to its low weight, comfort, and power transfer.
- The Domane Gen 4 comes in eight sizes (47-62cm), with size-specific crank arms, saddle, seatpost, stem, and handlebars.
- This bike has internal downtube storage and mounts for a top tube bag, a rear rack, fenders, and three bottle cages.
- The frame has clearance for 38mm tires, or 35mm with fenders.
- Trek’s Project One program offers Domane SLR 9 AXS buyers custom build options like paint, wheelset, and bottom bracket.
- The Blendr-compatible stem provides easy, integrated mounting of lights, computers, and other accessories.
- A tester appreciates the SRAM RED rear derailleur’s clutch over bumpy terrain.
- The SRAM RED’s 46/33t chainset and 10-36t cassette (SLR 9 AXS) provide ideal gearing for an endurance bike.
- The Domane SLR builds have integrated SRAM power meters.
- The lower-tier builds offer many of the same performance attributes as the pricier tiers.
- The separate bar and stem and semi-integrated cockpit cables make adjustments and servicing easier.
6 reasons not to buy
- Despite the SLR 9’s excellence, experts still wince at the price.
- A reviewer laments how the IsoSpeed cover rubs their thigh.
- SRAM’s chainring-integrated power meters mean replacement chainrings are extremely expensive.
- Testers complain about the shape of the stock handlebars and the lack of flare, given the Domane’s capacity for gravel.
- A reviewer says the SL 6’s Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25 alloy wheels are good, but a bike this expensive should come with better wheels.
- A 90kg owner complains of endless problems with loose, creaking seatposts due to IsoSpeed. Another owner says their SL6’s rear hub failed after 4 weeks.
Bottom line
Trek's Domane Gen 4 is an endurance road bike available in four builds: two with SRAM's RED (SLR) and two Shimano-equipped builds (SL). Experts have few complaints, praising the possibly unrivaled combination of speed, handling, and comfort. Also potentially unrivaled is the cost, which is very high for this category, even given the performance. SRAM's captive power meters make chainring replacement expensive. Fortunately, much of this bike's excellence is available in the lower-priced Domane SL builds. Ultimately, experts deem the Domane almost perfect for everything from Gran Fondos and sportives to gravel adventures, as long as one can stomach the price.Expert Reviews
