Trek Madone 4.5 review

Madone frameset in OCLV carbon

Warren Rossiter

Last year’s Trek Madone 3.5 took the eventual Bike of the Year 2012 victor, the Focus Izalco Pro 3.0 , right to the wire, earning a runner-up spot in the process. For 2013, Trek have significantly upped their game with the Madone 4.5.

Frame & equipment: Strong all round

The 4.5 uses a significantly better grade of carbon than that of the already impressive 3.5, making it notably light at a claimed 1,100g for the frameset. The frame itself incorporates Trek’s take on the press-fit bottom bracket BB90, for improved stiffness and less weight.

As with the previous top-of-the-range 6-Series, the seat tube is asymmetric, with the same going for the rear chainstay mount for the ANT+ DuoTrap sensor (available separately for £39.99).

The E2 tapered head tube and highly sculpted shaping is taken from that US-built superbike, which is essentially what you’re getting with the 4.5; in terms of specification it’s a stripped-down version of their previous Grand Tour winning machine. The 5-, 6- and 7-Series bikes now have aero-optimised KVF designs, but we’re glad Trek have kept the wonderful Pro level chassis alive.

A frame with design credentials this good and on a sub-£2,000 complete bike would suggest some downgrades and compromises elsewhere, but Trek have been clever with the budget. For a start, they’ve used Shimano’s Ultegra system for the mechs and shifters, only downgrading the brakes and cassette to the still-impressive 105 range, while the chainset is Shimano’s non-series R565.

The wheel package hasn’t been compromised, though, as Trek’s component brand Bontrager have supplied the new-for-2013 Race wheels, featuring classy, minimal hubs with quality bearings, great seals and butted spokes. The all-new rims are also compatible with tubeless tyres.

The Races are shod with Bontrager’s R1 tyres – with a nominal size of standard 23, they are in fact slightly broader than that, and in our opinion all the better for it. The difference in size allows them to be run at the lower pressures necessary for winter grip, without increasing the chances of you puncturing. As you’d imagine, Bontrager also provide the rest of the Madone’s finishing kit.

The slender, compact reach and drop VR-C bar is an adequate performer – nicely shaped with great dimensions but little to make it stand out beyond that. The Race Lite stem is a bit classier, and nicely finished with quality hardware.

At the back it’s a much more impressive affair, with the Affinity 2 saddle (fast becoming one of our favourites) sitting atop an elegant carbon seatpost (though we did need a liberal coating of carbon prep to prevent it slipping).

Ride & handling: Smooth and extremely capable

Out on the road, the class of the 4.5 is completely evident. We loved the 3.5 last year but the 4.5 takes everything that made it exceptional and turns it up to 11. The overall feel is completely smooth, and a low overall weight and broad 50/34, 11-28 gearing make the bike a complete breeze on climbs. Yet the stiffness and oh-so-sorted position make it an absolute blast down hills.

Smashing the 4.5 through a succession of bends never caused it to get flustered or drift off line. Some bikes can have snappier initial turn-in, but the 4.5 doesn’t need to be as rapid; with a bike that gives this much communication through its feel, we never found the need for last-minute direction changes mid-corner.

Plenty of the 4.5’s ultra-confident ride comes down to the H2 geometry (the top tube is shorter than the pro H1 by a few millimetres, and slightly taller at the front, again by just a few units). Dimensions that include a 190mm head tube and 992mm wheelbase are nowhere near excessively relaxed, especially when you factor in a standard 73-degree seat angle and steeper-than-average 73.8-degree head angle.

The 4.5 scores a lot of its points from the frame being stiff where it’s required (the head and down tube, BB and chainstays) and comfortable elsewhere. We’d eventually upgrade the average handlebar and chainset but would be more than happy to pay the price to have this sublime chassis in our lives.

This bike was tested as part of Cycling Plus magazine’s 2013 Bike Of The Year feature – read the full results in issue 273, on sale Friday 1 March and available on Apple Newsstand and Zinio .

Trek Madone 4.5 2012 Review

Trek have completely redesigned their Madone 4 series for 2012 to ensure every model in the range reaches Trek’s high standards. One model that has undergone some exciting changes is the Trek Madone 4.5.

Built using Trek’s high quality but affordable 400 series OCLV carbon fibre, the Madone 4.5 frame encompasses strength, rigidity and lightness, factors riders often only find within a manufacturers elite range. The frame alone features a number of Trek’s pioneering designs, in particular Trek’s BB90. Measuring 90mm Trek’s Madone 4.5 features the widest carbon bottom bracket available on a road bike, which lightens as well as stiffens the entire frame for significantly quicker acceleration. Another design feature Trek models have and are well known for is their H2 fit design. This exclusive design ensures the Madone 4.5 retains the look, handling geometry and ride quality of elite models; however the higher head tube of the H2 fit ensures a more comfortable ride as less strain is placed on a riders back and neck. Fixed to the Trek Madone 4.5 frame is a Bontrager Race Lite fork with E2 aluminium steerer, this E2 steerer tapers from 1.5″ to 1-1/8″; this tapered design not only creates more durable bearings but also results in confident and responsive handling.

The components included on the Trek Madone 4.5 help to develop the sporting quality of this model. Trek have utilised a number of Shimano components to create a unique groupset that will meet the needs of an enthusiastic rider. The alloy dual-pivot brakes with Shimano 105 levers are designed to provide riders with swift braking even in the wettest conditions. The Madone 4.5 2012 model is available with either a H2 fit triple or compact crankset so that riders can choose a crankset more appropriate for their needs. While Shimano 105 shifters and derailleurs, which include Trek’s direct-mount front derailleur provide a fast and accurate shifting performance. Trek have explained that the Madone 4.5 is a bike built for ‘the rider who values performance and demands value’ and looking at the specifications of this model its difficult to disagree with their statement. The strong carbon frame and race ready components make this a performance bike that is sure to please the most demanding cyclists.

Trek Madone 4.5 WSD Road Bike

From cruising back roads to enjoying all-day epics to getting your feet wet in the racing circuit, Trek's Madone 4.5 WSD does it all. This women's-specific full-carbon beauty boasts a stiff, light frame that floats up the climbs, along with Bontrager's Race Lite oversize carbon fork that provides maximum steering precision. Plus, Bontrager's aero Race wheelset cheats the wind for free speed, while Shimano delivers a slick-shifting 30-speed drivetrain that always gives you the perfect gear. Plus, this road rig comes with a sweet spread of Bontrager's carbon and aluminum components, as well as confidence-inspiring dual-pivot brakes.

• USER REVIEWS

The strengths for me are in the women's specific features and the fact that the bike has been fitted and adjusted properly to my body by a trained coach. It makes a huge difference! The other strengths are in the speed, lightness of the frame,smooth responsive handling and the bike corners and manoeuvres really well. I also love the style and colour of the bike (lighter of the two blue versions available).It really is an aesthetically beautiful bike.

I don't know about weaknesses yet because I have only been riding this bike for 2 weeks. So far I have ridden 300kms. Last week I rode the bike for a 70 km ride and there were no problems. It was fast and responsive. I have not ridden it under rainy or very windy conditions yet either. Time will tell about the carbon frame but as long as I don't total the bike (I am a careful rider),I think that it will be as strong as any bike frame.

My bike is actually 2009/10. I changed over to the Madone 4.5 WSD because I wanted a fast ride that was more responsive than my current road bike was providing. The Madone 4.5 has been properly fitted to my body and I ride higher than on my old bike and further forward over the bars which are dropped. The bike is very light and responsive and corners much better. My rides are faster too.I have cut approximately 15 minutes off my daily 21.5 km ride. I have Ultegra components fitted on the back and 105 on the front. The gear changes are much smoother than the ones that I had with Tiagra components. Due to problems with punctures, I have had the Bontrager tyres replaced with Gatorskins. I have noticed no appreciable difference in my speed or quality of ride. I love the bike and am glad that I changed over. I was a bit scared to change from an alloy frame to an all carbon frame because of durability and breakage rumours (meaning huge expense if the bike totals), however this has so far not been a problem. I love to get on my bike each morning and it feels as if it flies, the ride is so smooth. On downhill runs, I travel at around 40 kms/hr and the bike still corners well and close to the edge of the track where I want it. It really beats my other bike hands-down. For a person who really isn't going to do 'Tour de France' or other major events, I would see no need to upgrade to a more expensive bike. This bike is more than adequate. It has speed, responsiveness, is very light and corners and manoeuvres extremely well. Since having the bike, I have caught up with male riders who have been a minute ahead ( I timed them) and beaten them twice in the same ride (while stopping for a drink). I could not have done this on my other bike as easily, or at all. This bike was approximately a thousand AUS dollars more than my other one, but I think that it is worth every cent. I will be happy to use this bike for a long time. It will suit any experienced female rider who wants a light, fast and responsive, easily manoeuvrable road bike. It is not for a novice. It should also not be bought by someone who only wants to ride occasionally because that would be overkill in expense for the purpose of use of the bike. It would be good for women who want to ride in clubs and in racing events, or for those experienced riders who want a really enjoyable, exhilarating fast ride.

Similar Products Used:

My last bike was a Giant Defy 1 road bike using Tiagra and Sora components. It had an alloy frame and was a male version, not woman specific. The bike handled reasonably well but was not as light, responsive or manoeuvrable as my Madone. it was a good bike, but I wasn't really satisfied with either the speed, cornering or smoothness of gear changes. The Defy is a well-priced road bike for someone who wants a decent ride but doesn't want the expense or components that add to the quality of a ride when riding every day for some distance, or racing when speed and manoeuvrability are important factors.

Madone 4.5: Good or Evil?

• Add to quote

I've been riding a Trek 7500 hybrid since 1998. I wanted to move up to something lighter and faster. After discussions and measurements with my LBS, I've ordered a 2010 Madone 4.5 to test. One problem I'm having while waiting for the bike to come in is that there is relatively little information online about this model. There are plenty of reviews and discussions about the 5 and 6 Series Madones, but very little about the 4 Series. (I should mention that this includes both the Trek road bike catalog, AND the Madone-specific catalogs, as well as Trek's web site and other web sources.) I'm wondering if it's a good choice, since it's the lowest Madone model and has the lowest-quality frame and component specs of all the Madones. Is it better to get a low-end Madone, or would a high-end 1 or 2 Series aluminum frame bike be a better choice? The best thing about this is that the LBS owner says if I don't like the bike, I don't have to buy it. I'd love some opinions about this. Thanks!

I think the Madone 4 series are a good value... the 4.7 has a lot nicer parts, but is a little more expensive. A custom $2500 bike is going to remotely compare... unless you're extremely unusually shaped.  

Nothing wrong with a 4.5 if you could scratch up a few more hundred the 4.7 is better. You should be happy with a 4.5 like the poster above said make sure it is a good fit.  

I'd go w/ a Madone over a 1 or 2 series. Here's some reviews: http://www.buzzillions.com/dz_444038_trek_madone_4_5_reviews#bz-model-reviewTitle http://www.roadbikereview.com/mfr/trek/road-bike/PRD_411974_5668crx.aspx http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/road/product/madone-45-08-29372 http://forums.roadbikereview.com/showthread.php?t=120369  

My girlfriend has a Madone 4.5 WSD. She's had it about a year and a half now and really likes it. From what I've seen it looks great and performs well. Id take one over a 1 or 2 series any day. Only thing suspect in my opinion are the Bontrager wheels with the funky paired spokes. The wheels havent stayed all that true (and she isn't heavy) and there are black marks on the rim from the brakes near almost every pair of spokes indicating to me that the rim surface has been distorted near the spoke pairings. However I hear for 2010 Bontrager has finally wised up and is losing the gimmicky paired spokes. Maybe their new wheels will be more durable.  

This is the cheapest Madone but I think the quality will be as good as other carbon fiber frames. The design of the Madone frames is the same, the difference will be in frame weight and layup of the carbon fiber. So you can expect the ride to be similar to the more expensive Madones, the difference in frame weight will not be perceptible. The 4.7 Madone is the same frame but with SRAM Rival components for a higher price. Verdict: Good

Marc said: Well the 4 series Madones are made in the Orient...odds are the 1/2k Series Al frames are made just down the street from where the Madone 4s are made. I can tell you with a fair degree of certainty, the bike will likely ride fine and be as durable as a CF bike can be. Click to expand...

Marc said: For me, the question I find myself asking is: "$2100USD MSRP for a plastic frame with 105 level components?" That is what gets my eye most. I know economies are in shambles--but at $2500 (after taxes mind you), you're near custom bike prices--and you're getting an off the peg frame with only 105 parts. But this is me and my set of values. Of course, if you're new to road cycling, you might be perfectly happy with 105, opine and parts-snobishness are funny things. Click to expand...

davidka said: I raced on one most of the year and it was an excellent race platform, stiff, stable and comfortable. Mine was a 62cm (6'4", 165lbs) with SRAM Rival and it weighed just under 17lbs. with Race X Lite wheels. If you get a Madone 4 series (any of them) and it fits you correctly you will not be sorry.

tenrec said: Wow, you make it sound like a piece of crap! I've noticed that I can get a higher level of componentry in a full carbon frame for hundreds of dollars less if I go to a lesser-known brand and buy from someplace like Performance Bicycle. The disadvantage is that they are not local for things like repairs, adjustments, etc. Click to expand...

Don Duende said: The 4.7 Madone is the same frame but with SRAM Rival components for a higher price. Verdict: Good Click to expand...

Marc said: My point is that, a year or two ago--that same bike would be several hundred less, or have a better component group for the same price. To give you a notion-5 years ago: In Performance Bike, you could buy Dura-Ace shifters for $200. Now they cost $700-simply because that is what people will pay. 5 years ago you could by a crankset, new, from Performance of good quality for under $100USD. Now you cannot buy a crank for less than $300. Click to expand...

tenrec said: The Madone I've ordered will have a Shimano 105 triple chainring in the front and either a Shimano 105 or Ultegra rear derailleur. Is there much difference in performance, weight, or quality between the 105 and the Ultegra? Click to expand...

Kevin_in_SB said: Why do you want a triple get a compact. Click to expand...

tenrec said: Is it because they charge what the market will bear, or are there other factors? Inflation has increased in recent years, and the value of the dollar has fluctuated against the Japanese yen. Could these be factors in the price changes you mention? (And if Dura-Ace has inflated the way you say, have the equivalent Campagnolo parts done something similar? If the Shimano parts got so expensive, people would have switched to Campy unless they were doing the same thing.) Click to expand...

For what it's worth, I'm the new owner of a 2010 Madone 4.7 and I couldn't be happier. The ride is well damped but stiff enough to climb very well. I optioned for the 4.7 over the 4.5 because for the small price difference between the 4.5 and 4.7 the move from 105 to SRAM Rival was significant. I even think that I've mastered the double click SRAM. If you are unsure of the 4.5, I promise that you'll be happy. If you can stretch your budget, the 4.7 is worth it in my opinion.

Yep, Rival is lighter and the 2010 stuff got a bunch of upgrades, it's very similar to Force.  

I would go for Rival, but you should ride both and pick the one you prefer. The biggest upgrade will be the wheels but the wheels will be perfectly fine for everyday riding. Consider a custom hand built set from Speed Dreams when your budget allows.
