Riders who race or ride fast on rolling and flat roads and are happy with a long, low fit. Not the pick if you want a tall stack.
A deep-section race bike that wants speed. The cockpit is integrated and the front end is stiff; it holds a line in crosswinds better than older Aeroads, but it still feels like an aero bike.
Riders who want one Trek race bike now that Émonda is gone. If you liked a low Madone or a light Émonda, this is where both fits land.
Gen 8 Madone folds the Émonda brief into the aero bike: Full System Foil shapes, revised IsoFlow, and a frame roughly 320 g lighter than Gen 7 while holding the older Madone's speed.
